SUCCESS

T T'S doing your job the best you can
i And being just to your iellowman;
It's making money, but holding friends,
And staying true to your aims and ends;
It's figuring how and learningwhy,
And looking forward and thinking high,
And dreaming little and doing much;
It's always keeping in closest touch
With what is finest in word and deed;
It's being thorough, yet making speed
It's struggling on with will to win, -. =
But taking loss with cheerful grin:
It's sharing sorrow and work and mirth
And making better this good old earth;
It's serving, striving through strain and stress
It's doing your noblest-that's Success

Senators Monson and Witty
Under the present laws IS per cenl
Of the money collected from this
source accrues to the county in
which it is collected.
The authors of the amendment

First indication that the Idaho

down the number of the Offices of
the present administration was
given last week during a debate in
the house regarding the supplying
OF committees with mere rooms in
which to meet.
= During the debate Storey of Ada
county said that sit was time to
get the pruning knife to work on
the various branches of the state
Offices that are created by different
sessions of the legislature. Every
session." he said, "creates new
offices. and officers and some year
when the Legislature convenes it
will find the chambers occupied by
state Offices and the two houses
will be forced to 60 down town to
hold their sessions. No doubt the
various branch Offices do some
little good but it is time that the
less important ones were incorpor
ated under one head and thus
conserve space"
Certain committees have already !
taken up the matter of reducing |
