The Value of Thrift

To he thrifty does not mean to be
tingy. 1t means taking good care not
TO waste or misspend what one has.
1t means net wasting things, large or
small. Saving many small things
makes a great difference in what you
possess. No man is so rich that he is
warranted in being wasteful. If he
has more than enough for his own
needs there are plenty Of ways in
which he may use the surplus for gen.
eral benefit.
The thrifty man does not spend with
out thought. He will never spend more
than that which is his own. The
thrifty man avoids debt. The thrifty
man has something aheid, SO that
when necessity demands there is some
thing to ill the need. Thrift gives con-
tent i'll the present. 1t does away with
many worries. 1t gives promise of
future safety. From saving comes
having. journal.

the discharge OF public business.
"Whatever else may be said, ]
think enough has occurred 20 justify
the conviction that none of the pro-
phesics to which I have called special
attention have matcrialized. On the
contrary, the Development of the
state during the year 1916 in all the
elements Of material and moral
growth and wo,l-being, practically
stand without precedent in all pre-
yious history.
"There has been no general bust
ness depression in Colorado since
Prohibition went into effect. On the
contrary, as l have stated, we have
enjoyed more prosperity, and wider
extended and more widely diffused
prosperity, than we have ever known.
That is verified in many ways. For
example, by the weekly report of
Dunn's and Brastrcot's on every
line Of business, by the bank clear
inCs in the city Of Denver, which is
the metropolis Of the state, and
which have practically doubled, and
by the unprecedented industrial ac-
tivities throughout the state.

feet upon the people, l MAY SAY

SENTFD FOR CONSIDERATION,

"The fac. that Prohibition is prac-
,.cally successful in my state is per-
haps emphasized as strongly as in
my other way by the fact that both
the great parties in 1916, for the first
line in on" political history, unequi-
7ocalIy endorsed the proposition"

PROHIBITION IN COLORADO

Senator Thomas Vo.ed Against State

on Business, but Says He Made
Mistake as the Change Has Been
Beneficial to His State In Every
Way.
Washington, D. C.-Senator Thom-
as, of Colorado. speaking before the
United States Senate, told of the ex-
pcricnco Of his state with Prohibi-
tion for one year:
"I'he stota which I, in part, repre-
sent in this body, enacted q Prohibi-
ton amcndmcn. to its Constitution
in 1914 to become effective on the
first day Of January, 1915. 1t has,
therefore, beaN in operation nearly
II months, sufficiently long to jus
tify me in laying b fore the Senate
some Of the results, not perhaps OF
Prohibition, but for the period in
which it has been effective upon the
material and moral condition of the
commonwealth.

SHORT LINE TO SPEND
$4,OOO,OOO THIS YEAR
Roadbed and Other Betterments
Planned for Road During
the Summer

improvements costing more than
$4,000,000 are to be made during
this year by the Oregon Short Line,
the executive committee of the board
of directors of the Union Pacific sys-
tenn having passed upon the greater
part of the budget asked by the OPP
Grating officials. Before any improve
ments for this year are undertaken
the work which was incomplete from
the budget of last year will be fin
ished.
The work of relaying part of the
road with heavier steel and building
heavier bridges on the branch lines
will require large expenditures.
There will be but little double track
laid on the Oregon Short Line, as the
operating and maintenance of way
departments have placed sufficient
double trackage on the main line in
Idaho to answer traffic needs. 1t
was said yesterday that all of the
funds granted to the Oregon Short
Line this year would go into the
lettering of the roadbed and improy-
ing operating facilities. None OF the
money will be expended in the pur-
chase of equipment, as the Union
Pacific Equipment association buys
locomotives and cars for the road.

SENATE STANDING
COMMITTEES FOR PRES
ENT SESSION NAMED

Just before the senate adjourned
Thursday afternoon Lieutenant Gov
ernor Parker announced his appoint
ments of standing committees. Be-
fore reading the list he told the men,
bers that If they had not received
just the appointments they had de-
sired, they should bear in mind the
fact that while the number of COM
mittees remained the same, and that
made it difficult to- apportion the as
signments quite to the satisfaction of
all, perhaps. He called their at
tention to the further fact that no
senator had received more than three
nor fewer than two committee ap-
pOintments.
Immediately after the list of COM
mittees was read Senator Randall
moved that the snate accept, adopt

scented.

NOTICE TO AUTO OWNERS

The Auto Club of Bingham county
collects it's annual dues about this
time of the year, and If your dues
for 1917 have not been paid, send
two dollars to j. HI. Early, Blackfoot.
II you are not member send him
six dollars and become a member,
and then it will cost you only two
dollars year thereafter.
The Auto Club has sixty members
and as there are about five-hundred
people driving cars in the county,
it appears that there are 440 who
ought to join the club.
George F. Gagon is president and
j. H. Early secretary. The funds
belonging to the club are used for
advancing the interests of auto driv-
ers in perfectly proper ways. Some
efforts have been put forth to secure
road repairs where they were needed
and had been overlooked or neg
lected, some attention has been paid
to wedding out reckless drivers who
endanger other people by their fast
or reckless driving; it did much to
get the Fl. Hall road macadamized;
it was the body that secured the
repairs in the road from Ft. Hall to
the Blackfoot reservoir so autos
could travel it; it inaugurated the
Good Roads day in 1913 when
people turned out and repaired bad
spots in the road as a popular
donation; it secured the adop-
ton of rules for safety first" on
the streets and roads, by which the
number of accidents have been re-
duced and street travel has been
made more convenient.
The Auto Club did much to en-
courage the interstate races from
Salt Lake to Blackfoot with motor
cycles, and the races have done much
to get the roads cleared of stones.
and all the bad places repaired. The
race of last July stirred more people
to determination to fix the bad
roads alongside of their farms on the
Salt Lake road than anything else
that has happened. That fine Sun
day morning when one machine after
another whizzed by enroute to Black
foot, Idaho, running against time, the
whole population lined up along the
fences went wild and wished for bet
ter roads and beean to make them.
The road from Blackfoot to Salt Lake
has improved so rapidly that fami-
lies DIN down and back for pleasure
keep Boosting of the road improve
ment, and of their ability to make
the trip in less time than they ex-
pected because Of the fine roads.
When the snow goes off they will
be at 1t agin, getting them ready for
the annual motorcycle race which the
Auto Club of Blackfoot, Idaho will
be boosting for.
Be a good sport and mail your
check right now to the secretary,
and tell him you hope he will not
resign the task but stay with the
good work and help bring about a
race this year that will have no time
limit, and In which the man wins
who gets into Blackfoot first.
Every club member receives q mag
azine "The American Motorist" as
a condition of his membership.

likely to be held at Idaho Falls or
Nampa. The work started with the
pure seed men, and so far has at
tracted the potato growers, the fruit
growers, swine growers and many

LEGISLATURE CLEARS
DESKS FOR ACTION
Administration Measures Given the
Precedence
WoRKMEN's COMPENSATION

The Democratic legislature, ac-
cording to caucus desi rms, will COM
mence its consideration of admins
tration measures this week; and
make it one of the most important
weeks of the session. The governors
suggestions as delivered to both
houses thru his message will have
favor and support, so that they are
the centers of interest.
The workmen's compensation bill
is one of the most noteworthy mea-
sures the legislature expects to
handle. Much time has been put in
to its framing, and the intent is to
provide a fair protection for the in
jured workmen, and compensation to
his heirs in the event of his being
killed while employed.
The initiative and referendum is
a measure approved by the Direct
LEGISLATION league. made up purpose
ly to meet the wishes of the people
generally.
1t is proposed to strengthen the
public utilities commission, follow
ing the governors recommendation
but discussion over this is expected
to be both warm and bitter. A bill
to give the commission supervision
over securities of public utilities
which come under its jurisdiction
will be introduced. Many of the ma
jority members desire to increase the
appropriation for the commission.
Others are not in sympathy with a
public utilities commission at all and
would vote to repeal the act Great
ing it. Yet the governor is for it
and for it's growth into power, and
bis attitude is just now paramount
feature.
The Torrens system of land titles,
also recommended by the governor
is a plan already of proven worth to
clarity land titles.
A uniform accounting system for
the various counties will be worked
out and presented to the legislators.
Another bill coming up looks to-
ward re-districting the state for ju-
dicial districts. The southeast will
have an additional judge, in the
Fifth district. Power county will be
taken from that district and added
is to be added to the Third to relieve
the congestion in the Seventh.
It is planned to help out the sup
RENE court, which as the governor
pointed out in his message, is be-
hind it's calendar about two years,
by creating a commission of tive
members to assist the court for two
years.
Highway Appropriation
A bond issue for the state high.
ways and good road work to be adj
ministered by the state highway COM
mission presents problem. The
commission asks for an appropriation
OF $1,5O0,000. 1t is said to be very
probable that the bill to be intro
duced will call for an appropriation
of 100000 for the present bien-
MUM. The $1,500,000 appropriation
to be asked for covers five years
The 100000 covers but two years
and majority members said yesterday
makes it possible for the state to
take advantage of the $3.50 federal
appropriations of 100000 for 1917
100000 for 1918. and the forestry
bureau appropriation of approximate.
ly 100000 for the two years.
