Dear Sirs:
Enclosed is the Capitol Corrido
Chatter" contribution by the anony
nous Jake clipped from the Dec
rs issue of The Voice. This articl
ends with 81 won't eat much and
can sleep under the table. Along witt
the legislators"
| realize that Jake" is partly trying
to be funny and like humor / agre
that this dispensing of free liquor ant
the running of Little Legislature
| down in the Placer hotel is not likel,
always to be in the best interests o
the majority of the people of the state
do not like however the implied in
ference of this article that Legislators
generally are of the lousy swig joint
"sleep under the table" variety. The
very legislators you want to help are
going to find their way made harder
by such contributions CD as this one
by cake"
Qn passing it may truthfully be
stated that not all the good legisla
| tors are "gimmicks" from the farms
nor "bums" working in the towns and
that whether legislators or legislation
is good or bad sometimes depends
upon the point of view.)
Too many people already think that
Legislators are mostly Incorporate joy
full loafers; who as soon as they get
to Helena forget all about the inter-
ests of the people who elected them.
AS matter of fact The Peoples Voice
and other informed persons know that
a large majority of persons sent to the
Legislature are earnestly and sincere
ly and diligently trying to do what
is right and best as they see it. Leg
islators who, in Helena during leg
islative session, are very much differ
ent than they are as residents of the
counties from which they come are
not numerous. For this due credit
should be given for there are plenty
of influences trying to make it other
WISE The one Jake" characterizes
as ''the outfit that owns Butte" is one
of these but there are many many
others.
The point Jake tries to make that
some interests try improperly to be
too Influential is correct but he puts
it badly. Do not indict all because OF
the action of a comparative few. Note
the most of them in the 9Th para
graph There is big need for a
such as the stockholders of
The Peoples Voice have in mind but
that need cannot be completely filled
without being careful not to be "Un-
fair"
After January Bird please change adj
dress of The Voice to Capitol Bldg,
With best wishes.

e very likely would have the out {
t that made a good governor" in {
cad of now having incoming man t

i'd support, that he needs friends C
ore than ever" 1t is up to all of I

nding good men to the legislature b
I'M Lake county this year-both re- Il
blicans by the way. p'

times severely tested. l can hardly Ell
We any hope of a job at the session.

the paper. May it ever prospect e
More power to you! Greetings and We
