The total tax levy in 1915 and 1916
was 81 ,265,000. The revenue.from other
sources for one year and nine months
was $540,3Sl, or total of $1S05, 3S1.
There has been expended for the year
and nine months under vouchers ap-
proved by the Governor, ST. 1873, 464,
leaving deficit of $2S ,0S3. Estimat-

JUST NEIGHBORLINESS

Stop a minute! just think of the
great humanizing quality of neighbor-
illness!
Contrast community where it
thrives and flOurishes with one where
it is negligible quantity.
Consider how gregarious creature
is man, and how his very nature de-
mands intercourse with his fellows.
Sit down and reckon up the per cent
of your comfort and happiness that
depends in whole or in part on the good
will of your neighbors.
Think what you would be without

total deficit of about $275,OOO Add
ing that amount to the sum spent I'M
der the state bond issue, together with
the $4,000 due counties and the 500
600 San Francisco fair, all of which
the Governor ignores, makes total of
$685. 200, that must be deducted from
any saving he claims.
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1916-10-19

Now ask yourself this question:
50 What would this world be if every
other man were just like me?''
Are you neighbor or sponge?'
Be neighbor.
The Blackfoot optimist. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1907-1918, 1916-10-19

When laughing at the other fellow
just remember that he may have quite
as much fun at your expense another
day.

Life is short at best and the one who
fills it with scraps and growls has
only half life to spend.
