WHILE a few OF the legislators
ut Boise are figuring out ways
to cut down expenses and make
the tax burden easier on the
people, many Others seem to be
laboring overtime to evolve pet
measures which provide new
ways for spending the public
money--ways that most OF the
people back home would ordi-
narily never dream Of. The
trouble with most OF the legisla-
tors is that they don't under
stand that they are servants OF
the people, that they owe a duty
to the people and that they
have no right to use their posi-
tions to further their own selfish
interests or the interests OF
of their particular friends and to
the detriment OF the people in
ii general. Ii there is any re-
trenchment in the present ad-
ministration, such as has been
SO volubly promised, it seems
that it will have to come by the
exercise OF the governors veto.

SOME OF the lawmakers q

SOME OF the lawmakers at
Boise are pointing out how one
OF the justices of the supre me
court neglected his duties for
two months in order to further
his own political ambition. Yet
it is proposed that the number
OF supreme judges be increased
from three to five on the plea
that three are unable to dispose
OF the increasingly work OF the
court. 1t is claimed the lawy ers
originated the idea of increasing
the number of justices and this
circumstance aroused suspi zion
in the legislature because the
plan would provide lucr alive
positions for two more l.awyGrs,
ut the expense of the people.
Those opposing the increase,
argue that if the three Judges
now on the bench would work
the amount OF til ne they are
paid for they COP I'd easily dis
pose OF all the cases brought
before them.

Foundation Work Of ". c. 7. !.

II is not the last great charge Of an
army IN the hour Of victory that tests
Its strength and courage, though that
may give it greater honor and re-
nown. That which shows real
strength and endurance Is the long
seige of preparatory WORK that must be
done,--ever watching the movements
of the enemy and always being cons
cious that the opposing army is also
strengthening its position to resist
better the final attack. The early
leaders of the W. c. T. U. had long
years OF needful preparatory work,
full OF courage and brave endurance,
without which the present outlook
for Hnal victory could not have been
ours.
