All that now ts required Is a little burst of activity on the part of our repre sentatives and there will be a quick cleanup. There is .no doubt of our getting the money required. We will not quit until this is done and we are heartily backed up by those who are willing and eager to put up the necessary cash to advance the Interests of the state along the lines proposed by the chamber. It may be necessary to giv the work ers more help; possibly organiza tion of some of the departments may be required. If zo that will be attended to promptly so as net to Involve further delay.
