Work for Legislators.


The next legislature of Idaho
will be called upon To enact laws
that will mark an epoch in the bis
tory Of the state The chaotic con-
dition of our laws, caused by a
sweeping decision Of our state SUI
preme court, annulling more than
half of those passed since our ad-
mission as state, iorcibly reminds
us that the conduct of Legislators
will be closely watched this win
ter. Fortunately, there is no elect
ion OLA U. S. senator pending to
distract attention of our solOns
from the herculean task before
them Of bringing order out Of
chaos. We hope they will be
equal to the emergency. 1t will
be a crime against the state if COM
binations of partisans force a dead
lock for political purposes, or for
the election of few clerks or 9TH
er trivial purposes.
Apart from re-enacting the exist
ing code whose constitutionality is
assailed there is other important
legislation pending. The constitu-
tional amendment setting aside the
fee system carried at the late elect
ion and must be now Incorporated
into the code by the adoption Of a
law placing all county officials on
a stipulated salary. The law gov
erning the election of county COM
missioners should also be changed
so as to elect only one commission
er at each election. The mining
law is sadly in need Of complete re-
vision, and grub-stakes should be
made matter of record to insure
title.
A needless source of expense to
the counties is in the unnecessary
registration of voters in each elect
ion year. There should be "great
register" in each county, in which
the names of permanent residents
can be recorded once and for all.
Such register, with occasional re-
vision, would answer all purposes,
and the counties would then only
be saddled with the expense of reg
istering new comers and transients.
AS a matter of fact, the entire reg
istry system could be abolished in
this state without detriment to
anybody. Here is work enough
to keep the legislature busy from
now until midsummer, and we
, have only begun to indicate neces-
airy changes.

Some Figures for Farmers.

Cleveland S, and the first year of Nc
Kinley's Ii will be observed that the
years of 1892 and 1897 far exceed any
year during Cleveland term, despite the
insistence of Democrats that low tariff
cultivates our foreign trade. During
the last year of President Harrison $
term, the expectation of products OF
agriculture were larger than in any pre-

try, while during the four years OF
Cleveland's they fell off from 100 TO 100
million per annum, increasing again III

a larger sum than ever before in the his

SALOON STRaWS ARE COSTLY.
