ITS UP To YOU

You may be a big man in the busi-
ness world. Your properties may
represent many good round, hard
dollars. You may take an interest
in politics to the extent of complain
ing about taxation, too much legis-
lation, unless regulation of industry,
etc. You may send your boy to col
lege and your daughter to a finish
ing school. You may be a success
full American business man.
But do you take an interest in the
which protects your pro-
perty? Or are you merely one of the
kickers who complains about the
radicals. Do you go TO the polls
and vote for men and measures you
believe sound or do you instead go
out and play golf on election day
and let the fellow about whom you
do all the voting.
Don't kick unless you are willing
to do your duty as citizen at the
polls.
No matter how big you are your
vote is worth no more than the poor
est bum in town.
The bigger" you are, the more
necessary it is for you to vote, teach
your children to vote and your wife
to vote.
Don't leave some body else to do
your voting for you and then kick at
results.
your government will be just
as good as you help make it and no
better.

Idaho has not had its share of

the association. "Other states have
been doing what we should have
done. We have no quarrel with
them, only self-criticism We ought
to keep busy on this job, which Is
made possible now as never before
by the fact that the association is
being conducted On a public service

THE demands for Idaho scenic
literature and other information has
entirely exhausted our supply of liter
ature. This has been caused largely
by the wholesale response to our ad-
vertisements in more than 125 news

able in a few days and will be re-
plenished as fast as funds will per-
