Hands in Resignation

The dairymen of Idaho won sig
nal victory when Governor Moore,
Friday, signed senate bill No. 207,
which was sponsored by the dairy
men and cooperative creameries of
the state. This bill was fought by
Miles Cannon, Commissioners of agri-
culture, and all of the power of his
position was brought to bear to pre-
vent the passage of the bill through
the two legislative houses and it's
approval by the governor. The dairy
men and cooperative creameries ap-
pointed a committee at a meeting
held in December to draft bill and
push it through the legislature. This
committee was ably assisted by Man
ager Brown of the Farmers cream
cry of Payette and Mr.. McDermitt of

WHO WILL BE THE
NEW MANAGER
People Interested as to Who
Will Be Mr.. Gibson's
Successor

With the exit of so efficient a
president and general manager as
VIII II. Gibson the citizenship OF the
Mountain Home project is keenly
interested in knowing who will be
Mr.. Gibson's successor.
With the glimpse of long looked
for betterment in general conditions
over the country our people have
set themselves for forward pro-
gram with the fond hope of being
able to realize enough from their
investments and hard labor to at
least be able TO pay interest main
tainance and taxes.
The stagnated condition of mar
kets, low prices, and high freight
rates have bled our ranchmen white.
Which is true of most projects in
the northwest.
A new program must be worked
out to offset this condition and Mr..
Gibson's successor must be man
big enough in brain, experience and
organization ability to cope with the
situation.
Any retrenchment at this critical
time on the part of the irrigation
company would meet with disaster
to them and the people OF the project
in general.
We have been interviewed by more
than score of the most prominent
men on the tract already and in
Difference to them and others in
volved we are impelled to voice their
sentiments in these columns.
The watch word is Get together
and let's go" and we have no doubt
but that the irrigation company is
as anxious to see wave of pros
perity hit the community as any one,
and that they will use their best
endeavors to meet the situation with
The right kind of a man and back
him to the limit with the right kind
of program.
