There would probably be no serious objections 10 sot %
sion IN any portion OF the north it could promptly
ana by the action OF the state ITSELF without too much frc
ton and agitation In fact there number of reasons WHY
Doth sections OF the state would be benefited thereby if each
could annex enough outside territory supply the requisite
wealth and population to qualify and give standing as
commemorative However view of the that Idaho as
state has just begun to awaken the improved
highways and to realize the relations good roads bear
to the development of the state would seem that ANYTHING
which would tend lessen that interest obstruct and retar
the for the construction of state line high
ways just at this critical time in its DEVELOPMENT oud he
OF questionable advantage matter what Justice of the
cause might be- Ii the amount of energy to-

be done at ALL and thus contribute the removal Of
OF the great of difference between two natural
divisions OF the atethat of separation and isolation
each otewoud not the general good promoted much
greater degreef state division really serious
ness OF possible accomplishment it is almost certain
rey stop the for the construction of the
ing link between the north south sections This would
stop the state appropriation for that line and that
would make it an mpossbity to take advantage of the
eminent appropriation for that purpose and the whole plan
would collapse and general road construction would be
ed the responsibility for road improvement being
thrown back onto the small communities which unable
alone to finance the projects good north and south high
will far toward bringing the sections of state
into harmonious reaons at least it will make them better
acquainted and friendly and neghbory that half
the battle in of this kind The Nezperce Herald
last week contains conservative and sensible article
the north and south situation. 1t reads follows
This movement for the division of Idaho simply the

state is too large in and far too small in
population; and while its people, their interests and feelings
have been separated by natural barrier this barrier be
And in its overcoming is the key to the whole sit
uaton the people of the south will this and meet the
people Of north half way the brotherhood
should working shoulder tp shoulder for the merted ad

who willing to help themselves by helping the
other fellow whose conduct is not dominated by
sonal gain self-aggrandizement Idaho has them.
The north and south highway is tangible toward
the necessary amalgamaon 1t is not for the north it is
for the SOUTH but for all the state 1t should be only the be-
ginning of things to make state should have the
unlimited support of ALL to the exclusion of all other
highway projects if necessary and this to the end that its
completion be within the future By it the bar
