Mr.. Editor:
| see Our jim" is going to have a
special session of the legislature
Amt he hell on specials? He has a
special judge borrowed from Ada
county, assisted by special wise one
loaned by the State Bar association,
sitting in special session drafting
special bill to present to the special
session of the legislature, to get him
out of the special hole into which his
special tax policy has put him. Sort
Of reminds one of the house that Jack
built. They'll have a special time
when that special session gets that
special bill which the special commits
sion draws and they begin to special
ize among themselves. l imagine |
see brother Dunning from our own
Owyhee rise up in his seat, and hear
him say, "Mr. Speaker, Who the hell
are these specials, anyway? Pm some
thing of special myself" And then
brother Morgan from the wheat fields
of Latah, will rise to point of order,
and say, "You bet your damn life, l
know graft from special tax myself.
l move committee of the whole to
inform his excellency, the executive,
that the legislature is in special ses-
sion, independent of the judiciary and
the Bar association, to do little
specializing of its own" Then they'll
all draw their special salaries, and
scamper off home. Meanwhile, the
people will continue to pay the
freight, and it will still remain true,
as remarked by certain wise guy at
the village of New York, that you
can't unscramble scrambled eggs"
Well, anyway, "Our Jim" has had
a good time, as he writes Fred, on his
special down east Gee, but some of
his gum-shoe friends up in the basin
must be proud these days to know
that he's mixing drinks and wearing a
spike and a stovepipe along with the
]. P's and the Drexels and the Astors
and real Presidents and Governors
down at the effete East. He'll have
the banquet sponge when he gets
back, and his last years pants won't
fit him any more.
Some of the special friends of the
Society steer" with "Our Jim" have
lately received night letters, pinked
and deadheaded through as follows:
New York, Dec. IL.
Dear Jake:

chance last night and went to see

over at Parma the other day wher
