We always thought that he married
only because he wanted to be good

to the girl he'd paired off with in the

walks in town, and paint funny signs
on the store buildings and stack beer
bottles on the preachers front porch
and raise Ned generally. And the fel.
lows of his age, who owned the stores
and were in nights. would say to Samp
when they saw him coming down
about noon the next day:
"'Go ii when you're young, Samp.
Tor when you're old you can't. And he
would wink at 'em, give EN- ten dol

Now, you mustn't get the idea that
Samp was the town drunkard. for he
never was. He was just a good fel.

fellows outgrew him and settled down,

when Samp should have been grubbing
at his law books, but nary a grub for
him. He was playing horse for dear
life. And right there the fellows all
left him behind. Some were buying
real estate for speculation some rum
ming for office; some starting bank !;
and others lending money at two per
cent month. and leading in the pray
er meeting. So Samp kind of hitched
up his ambition and took the slack out
of his habits for few months and
went to the legislature. They say that

pie want and is determined to ODE,

the line into Idaho with feelings o
envy.
THE story OF what Governor {. {
Moore who has just taken office II

the way OF cutting expenses is told
in brief Associated Press dispatch
printed on the front page Of the Miner
yesterday.
This dispatch is as follows;
Boise. Jan. with one stroke of
his pen today c. c. Moore, governor,
stopped the activities of the state con-
stabulary and the department OF immi-
grafton, labor and statistics, and re-
moved from the state payroll the
names of 220 employees of the state
bureau of highways. designations OF
all highway employees have been ask
ed for on or before Jan. 20 and they
be effective Jan. 81. The bureau will
be re-organized and re-appontmcnts
made between Jam 20 and 81.
That is the kind of governor that
Montana needs at this time and has
not got.
1T appears unfortunate for the citi-
zcns of this commonwealth that there
is no provision of law under which
this state could borrow the Idaho cx-
ecutive for "a hours, for in that brief
period OF time he could accomplish
more for the people in the way of
economy than Governor Dixon will
ever do II he remains as executive
during his natural life time.
The first consideration of the Mon
tana executive is to create new offices
rather than to abolish old ones, in
order that he may have more patron
age to give out, and thus strengthen
his political machine in this state.
"Idaho's new governor evidently is
making a conscientious effort to serve
his people rather than to play politics.
"Hc is setting an example that is
sure to be unpopular with executives
of the scIf-sccking kind.
The way to clean the state house
is to clean it, and this is the method
that Governor Moore has adopted.

Idaho upon having a real governor"

orcss;on and for real meat OF context
10 GOVERNORS annual message to the
LEGISLATURE in recent Idaho history can
.xcel that delivered Tuesday morn
ing by c. c. Moore. He struck pop
ular chord. The message is brief and
no;nted. There is no dodging, no
evasion of issues He holds up ke-
publican party promises and insists
mon their enactment into legislation.
Tax reduction. the premier issue IN
Idaho today, is handled emphaticaliy'
distinctly. Taxes must be kept at the
lowest possible point. says the COVER
nor. and his words carry the convic-
t;ou that whatever the legislature may
think. the governor will be on the JOB

This is not a time for expansion OF
states activities, AYERS the governor.
Maintain the highways, pare appropri-
atoms to the bone, build no new
bridges. no new buildings. except
those that are so sorely needed that
failure to build them would be to
harm institutions. And Governor
Moore, by his drastic order in clean
ing out the highway department and
virtually abolishing the commissioner
of immigration office as a state en-
tity. has set the pace for the lawmak-
ers.
Idaho already has reason to feel
justified for placing her confidence IN
Charlie" Moore. The temper of his
message indicates, too. that he is going
to carry through.

Former Postmaster General Hays
vouchsafes the opinion that sixty per
cent of the departments losses are due
to the parcel post. Now that the
