KEPT EVERY PLEDGE.
Splendid Work of Hon. Marlin j.
Sweeley In the Senate.

While not in position this week to
go into details over the work done by
Senator Sweeley, yet the record given
in this article shows that Mr.. Sweeley
was at all times live wire as far as
active work in the Tenth session was
concerned. His position on the Judi
ciary committee was invaluable not
only to this county but to the state,
and 1t was common occurrence to have
the members of the committee say,
Give it to Sweeley, and let him fix it
up" For this reason the amount of
work done by Twin Falls senator
looms up. Nor did he forget for an in
stance that the party platform was
made for actual work and his vote was
recorded for every measure. A brief
resume of the bills passed which were
of his handiwork, is as follows:
Bill creating public park at Sho-
shone Falls. This appropriates all of
section 35. south of the river, which
lies Immediately south of the hotel
building. The. bill carries with it an
appropriation of $4,000 by the state on
condition that the county puts up an
equal amount for the making of i'm
provements. The portion paid by the
county can be expended in improving
roads leading to the park.
An act was passed increasing the
amount of bonds that can be voted by a
city for public improvements, and car
ried with it an amendment giving to
cities the right to build and maintain a
telephone system.
| Anti-pass bill and antitrust bill.
S. B. No. 1 by Sweeley-To revise
and consolidate general laws of Idaho.
S. B. No. AZ by Judiciary Committee
| Amending sections of code relating
to foreclosures OF chattel mortgages.
S. B. No. SO by Hasbrouck and Swee-
| ley-Provides for cities issuing muni-
| cipal bonds to construct and maintain
water works and lighting plants.
| S. B. No. 88 by Sweeley-Raisine
the limit under which child may be de-
clared delinquent from 16 to Is years
| s. B. No. 113 by Sweeley-Permit-
ting notaries public Of corporations te
certify to instruments in which the
corporation is interested. ss
Besides these important measures a.
a member of the judiciary committed
+ a nunYber"sof bills were drafted o.
amended by him. The local optior
bill was in the main a result OF hi
pen. Another bill introduced by Mr.
Sweeley against the pollution O.
streams and irrigation waters wa.
killed in the house.

become addicted to it, were empha-
sized tonight by DR.. Harvey. with w.

he said. ut will surprise you to
know that most of them contain
more caffeine than coffee, and a drug
which is more deadly. So beware

stimulant. Perhaps you would be
interested to know I have collect
ed more than one hundred SAMPLES
OF soft drinks sold at soda foun-
tains. and each contains caffeine, and
many Of them a deadly drug"
