Boise, Ida, Dec. Ex-Governor Steun-
enberg has devised a plan to validate
Idaho's bad laws, the supreme court
having decided that nine-tenths of the
enactments since Idaho was granted
statehood are illegal. In brief the plan
is to re-enact all the laws of the past
four sessions, excepting such as may
have been declared unconstitutional 1t
is expected that the Legislature viii
pass a concurrent resolution at the
ipening of the session to re-enact the
laws without amendment or debate

In order to have the work thoroughly
done, Governor Steunenberg has called
to his assistance an unofficial commits

and Charles S. Kingsley of Boise and
Phil Averitt of st. Anthony. These
gentlemen are now at work preparing
the bills. This scheme to railroad
through these bills will meet with much
opposition, but the governor is conf
dent he will have a majority at his
back. The opposition will make a
strong fight on re-enacting the anti

unanimous that the acquiring of tropi-

feet the development of the beet sugar
industry unless there was some ar
rangement made which would protect
the domestic industry against the op-
GRAFTON of free trade in sugar from new
colonies. 1t was decided to make a for
NAL protest to congress.
