A CONSERVATIVE BODY.

m NE of the initial impressions Of the Fourteenth SEES
II sion of Idaho IS legislature is that it is composed of
W conservative men for the most part It would be an
unusual gathering these days that did not present some
evidence of ladicasm but the attitude of the ority Of
the members Of the legislature and of those who will be
looked up leaders, sstans the belief that the session
will not be marked by the states
development retarded by unwse enactments
If that belief shall be borne by actual results, the
Fourteenth will constitute accurate reflection of Idaho
public senmentfor the people Of Idaho not radical
at least relation to the essential features Of state
growth Whenever the real progress of the has been
involved the public has viewed the situation calmly and
phlosophcay and has readily ndorsed such reasonable
actions would bring about the desired results.
That appears to be the determination Of the large pro-
portion if not ALL the members of the Fourteenth They
desire to promote state Development They realize they
cannot do BY permitting unjust attacks upon in
dusries agriculture mining, the various phases
of the livestock industry of the timber business, of hort
culture When they unfairly assaulted they alone are
not harmed but grave injustice is done to all the people,
and the needed additional investment and population
seek other fields until is given that the mis-
takes of the past will not be repeated.

The Habit Of Taking Cold.

With many people taking cold is a
habit, but fortunately one that is easily
broken. Take a cold sponge bath every
morning when you first get out of bed
not ice cold. but a temperature of
about 80 degrees F. Also sleep with
your window up. Do this and you Will
seldom take cold. When you do take
cold take Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy and get rid of it as quickly as pos
sible. Obtainable everywhere.

SALEM, Ore, Dec 23.- Making op
eratlFe provisions Of a rural credits
law, providing penalty clauses for .
..bone-drys amendment, good road
laws, several irrigation projects and
limitation OF tax Increase are among
the more Important Issues to occupy
the time Of the Oregon legislature
which convenes here on January FOR
a 40-day session. Indications point
to the rural credits legislation as be-
ing the chief business before che as
sembIy and which probably viii pro-
vide the real discussion Of the session.
The rural credits law was adopted
by popular vote at the elections last
November. Il is now the duty OF the
state legislature to make its provi-
siohs operative. The law provides for
a bond issue up to two percent Of the
assessed Valuation Of the state. 1t
will pro side approximately SIS, 900 600
which Il Is proposed to lend to farm
ers on long time and &C low interest.
Should action by the legislature fail
1t will ieyolye upon the state land
board to put the statute into effect
The legislature will be called upon
to provide penalty clauses for the.
bone dry constitutional amendment
passed ~ the people The law at
present provides only for the prohibi-
ton Of lmportafions Of intoxicating
liquor Tor beverage purposes and has
no punitive clause. Provisions for pun
ishment OF. violations are expected TO
be passed in the form of statutes by
the legislature
Good roads laws and the creation of
q non-salaried highway commission
will in all probability occupy much Of
the time during the assembly Steps
also will be taken, it Is believed, to
meet the requirements OF the federal
good roads act which will give 1856, 900
to Oregon highways providing a du-I
plicate sum Is raised by the state.

CONGRESS VOTES ANOTHER
MIL ION FOR NAVY WORK

fAssocisted Press ~ Federal WIrslsssl
WASHINGTON, b. c., Jan. Con-
gress yesterday voted TO allow the IN
crease In the appropriation for the
construction OF the 35-knot scont
cruisers found to be necessary and
requested by the navy department, the
extra appropriation voted yesterday
amounting to approximately q million
dollars.
Under the naval appropriation bill
passed at the last session, four of the
fast cruisers were authorized and q
contract for the construction Of one Of
the four has already been let. The
bids exceeded the appropriation on the
other three and recently new bids
were called for.
These new bids were even higher
than the original ones, the cost Of ma.
terial and labor having advanced,
bringing the total bids for the three
ships to 100000 over the limit set In
the bill.
