OPEN FORUM
OPPOSES EXTRA SESSION.

Editor Capital News: An extra ses-
sion of the legislature Is talked of as
probable event No one knows better
than the governor that the assembling
of the Idaho legislature is looked for
ward to by the taxpayers as they would
look forward to the coming of pesti-
lence due to arrive on a given date.
They expect no good, look forward to
nothing but harm and the governor,
who alone can call it, will have to az
count to the voters for such an act.
Every session simply adds to the
number Of bureaus. multiplies offices,
and increases the vast numbers of po-
litical hangers on, who simply draw
pay and play politics. The legisla-
ture does the bidding Of an invisible
government in the matter of appro-
priations, passes conflicting and in
comprehensive laws and in many cases
makes laws that no officer would en-
force and no one would respect or
obey.
At the last election the people turned
down the old gang who, by their bad
work put an end to immigration by
raising taxes, and the change brought
little or no relief and they stand ready
10 turn down again IL it must be so.
But we must bide our time and see
what is done.

and left the youngster behind. How

he climbed on behind unknown to the
young couple.
On arriving home he jumped down
and called gleefully:

Little Bee was very naughty one
day. Finally her grandma said to her:
"Bec.. don't you want to be a good
little girl. 30 when you die you can
go where grandma does?"
NO" was the decided reply. 81

day when his mother had popped
some for him, he took a dishful to

"Oh, it's delicious!"
Ira turned around in disgust and

Not long ago committee of wool men, including some
from ldaho appeared before the board and partc
larry before Mr.. Esenman in regard to their industry
They complained that the most of the profits of the bust
ness were going to spectators.
Eisenman asked why the wool growers did not buy up
the product and speculate in it themselves.
Mr. Holiday, of the growers replied that he de-
sired it to be understood that the representatives the
industry citizens first and sheep second That
set Esenman back somewhat
The suggestion an insult to the men who had ap-
peared before the board but it reflection of men
tai and moral condition that should not obtain with any
man serving the country patriot Evidently Essen
man knows the value of specializing in wool and to that
extent Gripping the industry and hamperng the plans to
provide clothing for the army.
Eisenmans proposal was and unpatriotic. For
that alone he should have been removed But observe
that he is being objected to other grounds Secretary
Baker may in time have his eyes opened to the truth
At even only ST. year Esenman is a costly employee.
The expense of keeping such in official position
might easily run into millions year.
Practically all the 81 year are loyal and honest
and any action tending to discredit them in the pub
