OF all the fool bills that have
been introduced in the Idaho
legislature at this or any other
session, was introduced the other
day by Oxley, of Shoshone coun-
ty. 1t is H. B. No. 1873, and is
intended to promote the marriage

"that all unmarried persons be-
tween the ages of 25 and As years
shall pay tax of 81 annually"
A bill has been introduced in
the Idaho legislature having for
its object the killing of fusion in
Idaho. We are a little surprised
that such bill should come from
the Democratic side of the legis-
lature. This is just what the
; Republicans want, and the Me
: Kinley press of the state are
, urging the Democrats into this
, trap. Without fusion, Idaho is
| safely Republican, as the vote of
5 the state shows this fact.
