YEAMAN ADDRESSES
CHAMBER Meeting
SAYS NORTH IDAHO PLANS FOR
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE WILL
BE ENCOURAGED

Declaring that "a mutual bond of
confidence has been established be-
tween north and south Idaho," Sena-
tor M. B. Yeaman of Idaho Falls told
members of the Moscow chamber of
commerce Wednesday noon that north
Idaho will receive more encourage
nlent when you come with honest,
legitimate and well thought out plans
for financial assistance
Senator Yeaman opened his cham
Der of commerce talk with the story
of a famous opinion to the effect that
Idaho could not be half dry and half
wet when he said that idaho can no
more be half dry, half wet than can
Idaho be north and south Idaho. We
should be one people"
Confidence in Legislators
81 have the utmost confidence in
the men you send to the legislature
from north Idaho and while l must
confess that I am not thoroughly ac-
quainted with your problems I have
enough confidence in your legislators
to assist in solving your problems" /"
said Senator Yeaman. 'I have appre-
ciated the confidence given me by
your legislators in my advocation of
aggressive, progressive irrigation leg
1slation for southern Idaho.
My lone criticism is your apparent
innate modesty. When we from the
south want anything we rare UP on
our hind legs and holler for it. A
man asked me what was going to be
done to north Idaho at the next re-
publican convention and 7 answered
that it depends entirely upon north
Idaho. When you people of north
Idaho can get together politically
then you will find out that south Ida
no is in sympathy with you
South idaho Enthusiastic
"The statement that south Idaho
uses the expression, We pay the taxes
and north Idaho gets the appropri-
ation,' is only partially true. South
ern Idaho at one time me.looked upon the
University of Idaho as sort of
super high school for north Idaho
This attitude was gradually dropped
and an attitude of semi-indifference
took its place Now at the present
time this Indifference has given over
to positive interest, an enthusiastic
interest, in northern Idaho and the
University of Idaho
"a mutual bond of confidence has
been established between the people
of the northern and southern parts of
our state
Moscow is an almost ideal loca-
tfOn for a university I am proud that
my daughter is attending college here.
Moscow is essentially a home town
and well adapted for an institution
OF learning.
University Opportunities
my visit to the University of Idaho
and Moscow and my acquaintance
with Dr. Upham has been to me of
unusual value. We of southeastern
Idaho have learned to admire and re-
spect DR.. Upham.
sThe pioneers of southern Idaho
have had hard fight in making that
section of the state what it is today
and as a result the finer sensibilities
have geen blunted somewhat. But
now the fact is coming over the minds
of the people of south Idaho that the
University of Idaho presents the OPP
portunity for the making of better
citizens out of their sons and daugh-
ters. There is a better finer feeling
and you of north Idaho will receive
more encoura cement from south idaho
when you come with honest, legiti-
mate and well thought out plans for
financial assistance"
c. J. Hugo in introducing Senator
Yeaman told of his work in the ere
alton of the audit commission which
has resulted in the budget system and
greatly improved state government.
Mr.. Hugo introduced Senator Yeaman
as gentleman and scholar, business
man and statesman"

versity school of education was called
upon for a short talk Dean J. G.
Eldridge asked for the appointment of
q committee of two from the chamber
of commerce to assist in making plans
for the Older Boys conference to be
held here March 81 to April g.
III. v. Dunlap sought the sanction of

alton of cooperative bureau between
the business men and the vocational
students of the university. The board
of directors sanctioned the movement

ber OF commerce men that the next
