Boise, Jan. 6.-There was little more
Than routine business in the leRisla-
lure yesterday. The two houses met
to listen to the reading of the
governors message. This occupied a
ong time, as the message is volumin-
'us. 1t deals with great number Of
Itate questions and number of i'm
'ortant recommendations are made.
The governor asks for the adoption of
! plan for putting life into the laws
enacted since Idaho became state,
uch large proportion of them being
ubject to attack on the lines of the
ee bill decision. The reading was
listened to with great interest.
Boise, Jan. THE legislature has
ecided that there shall be no new leg
Station until the process of injecting
ife into the old and unconstitutional
avs passed since statehood shall have
'een completed. The house has taken
ormal action in the premises and by
esolution prohibited the introduction
new bills unless by unanimous con-
ent until that momentous question is
olved. The first bill was introduced
q the house before the resolution was
dopted. 1t was presented by Mr..
.ngsley of Ada and proposes amend
tents to sections 5499 to 5000, to make
possible for the Idaho mining prop
rty OF persons who live and die in
Their states to be disposed of advan-
.geously, instead Of being sold at
breed sales at a sacrifice, as is usually
ne case.
The house adopted the rules that will
overn its deliberations, one of them
attaches from lobbying
,r pending measures.
The senate was in session only about
a hour all day. 1t is understood the
epublican-Populist com bination will
Ike from the presiding officer, q
the appointment of the COM
ittees, which will be elected.
Boise, Idaho, Jan. s.-The legislature
as in session but short time yester-
~, but during that time arrangements
ere completed for the momentous
ork OF the session, the restoration of
aho's invalid laws. Monday a Joint
mmittee will be named to arrange
r the introduction of bills covering
the laws passed since statehood.
'ior to action on them joint resolu-
IN for their passage, without amend
emit or debate, will be put through.
ais will precipitate fight, but there
e enough members pledged to TIE
heme, it is said, to put it through.
