ROTARY CLUB FOR IDAHO, ONE
AND lNSEPARABLE.


AND lNSEPARABLE.
The spirit that should actuate eve
citizen of Idaho was given fine expre
sion in a resolution recently adoptt
by the Rotary club of Boise 1t was
direct thrust at sectionaism, to tn,
disposition to regard north and soul
Idaho as having no interests in con
mon and therefore not disposed to &c
operate in matters designed to pro
mote the advancement of the entir
state Idaho has long been handcap
ped by this attitude and it is time tn
people should come to realize that it
continuance is operating to their ow
disadvantage and correspondingly {
the advantage of interests outside tn
state. Here is what the Rotary cluI
OF Boise says on the subject:
We are strong for Idaho, single
and undivided, and we are vigor-
ously opposed to any movement to
split this state into parts or divi-
sions for any purpose or on any
pretext
We are proud of Idaho her va
ried and great resources. her his
tory her pioneers, her loyalty to
good government, and her high
type of citizenry- and wom-
en-. We are confident that not
only can our people overcome the
physical barriers and differences
that divide and subdivide Idaho
but we believe that strength and
growth will be developed out of
our apparent typographical handi-
caps.
We strongly desire that increas-
ing years shall decrease our diff
ferences and further bind ms to-
gether for the greater growth and
happiness of Idaho. 1t is time to
quit talking about northern Idaho,
southeastern Idaho. southwestern
Idaho, and from now on to consid-
er only IDAHO.
The physical barriers between north
and south Idaho are being rapidly
brushed aside. This year will witness
the completion of a highway that will
make communication north and south
a positive pleasure. and at the same
time reveal scenic grandeurs which
will prove a tremendous asset to the
state as a whole. More than that. it
will mark the beginning OF the devel-
opment of vast natural resources which
will transform this so-called barrier
into a treasure land of untold riches
which will contribute to the pleasure
and profit of the people in all sections |
OF the state. 1t will bring the people /
Of the north and south into closer
touch, give them better understand
ing of the problems affecting the en-
tire state, and promote personal friend
ships which will result in unity of ac-
ton in matters pertaining to the well
.are of the state as a whole
Idaho is still new state. Among
is citizens are thousands who were ]
