and a vote revealed the fact that a
majority of the representatives of
the party of great moral ideas"
are willing to drink their whiskey
under the present existing restric-
tons. 1t is too bad that the
"whiskey democracy" can not be
blamed for this temperance defeat.
Mintzer, OF Salmon City, has offer
ed substitute in the shape of a
graded license bill, the licenses
ranging from Shopper year to $3.50.
1t will also be defeated if the pres
ent scare is kept up, as the repub-
lican saloonists openly declare that
they will desert the party if the
bill becomes a law. This is all
buncomb. A republican dies occa-
sionally, but deserts his party
never. More than that true dem
ocracy welcomes no alliance with
men whose principle" is measured
by the whiskey glass.
THE ALTURAs DIVISION.
The different bills for the division
of Alturas county were reported
back from the house committee
Wednesday without any recon-
mendation. Another division bill
creating the county of Logan, with
county seat at Shoshone was intro
duced this week. This bill was
the entering wedge that split the
Elmore combination two years ago,
and the feeling is quite prevalent
that it has been introduced for the
same purpose this session.
MORE HOLIDAY JUNKETING.
The future legislatures will con-
tinue to convene in December, as
Badley's bill making the time of
meeting January 1, has been de-
feated. Most of members have an
idea that they will be returned two
years hence and are looking for
ward to another holiday junket.
THE UNIVERSITY BILL.
The bill which has passed the
Council, creating the University of
Idaho at Moscow, has been report
ed favorably by the house commit
tee of the whole and will undoubt-
eddy become law. The bill APP
propriates SIS, 900 and levies tax
of one-half mill on the dollar to sus-
tain the institution when completed.
THE WATER LAW.
Crows bill providing for a new
water law will likely be reported
favorably to the house soon. The
bill is modelled after the famous
| Colorado law and should pass. The
question of water and water regula.
ton will be an important one in
Idaho for all time to come, and a
just and equitable law passed now
while the problem is yet in its in
fancy, will be wise legislation.
COUNTY SEATS ON WHEELS.
Kilborn's bill for the re-loca tior
of county seats, will pass the
House, with some amendments
The bill provides that upon the
petition of three-ffths of the resi-
dent electors of a county, the com
missioners shall call an election
and submit the question of relocat
ing the county seat. The electors
shall designate by ballot what city
they desire the county seat LOCATED
in, and the place receiving three
ffths of the votes cast, shall be de
signated as the county seat. Th'
bill is applicable to Washington
county particularly, as an effort il
being made to move the county
seat of that county from Weiser t.
Salubria. The bill is meeting will
considerable opposition by tn
press of the territory, which allude
| to it as the county seat on wheels
