Panama Pacific international Exposi :
ton.
The Panama Pacific International ex
position will he held in San Francisco,
Cal, in the year 1915, and If the state
of Idaho is to participate in this expo
sition, provision therefor will have to
be made by the present legislature.
AT the same time there will also be
held another and similar exposition in
the city of San Diego, Cal, and you will
doubtless be urged and requested by
representatives of these eXpositons to
make appropriations which would Mt

in both
In my judgment the state of Idaho
should not attempt to participate in
more than one of these expostions. at
least on any considerable scale If a
suitable exposition is maintained at
San Francisco, nothing further it
seems to me, need be considered for
the exposition at San Diego, than an
office at which advertising material
and such literature as it may be de-
sirablo to circulate may be distrib-
uted by a person properly authorized
to do this on behalf OF the state If
any part is taken by the state at all in
the exposition to be held at San Fran

be made by you so that our partici-

statistics be charged with the duty Of
preparing our exhibit and placing and
maintaining the same al the exposi-
ton.

Institutions.

various state institutions for whose
support you Will have to provide. The
needs of all such departments and in
situations are set forth in their biennial
reports, all of which will be placed
upon your desks for information.
earnestly advise that every member of
the legislature carefully read and ac-
quaint himself with thu contents of
these reports, for it is only by so doing
that an intelligent idea can be formed
of the provision you will be justified in
making for the support and mainte-
nance of our departments and institu-
lions. 1t is only by SO doing, also, that
YOU can acqnaint yourself with the
various operations of the state gov
eminent, and form a proper and intel
Hgent opinion as to where retrench-
ment can and cannot properly be made.
Again, and in closing, | urge upon
you the necessity of being guided in
these matters by the financial eondf-
ton of the state, as well as the needs
of the departments or institutions un-
der consideration, IN order that your
provisions for their support may not
on the one hand be 50 limited as to de-
stroy efficiency. or on the other, be so
extravagant as To be ain injustice to
those whose duty and obligation ii IS
To pay the bills
