Tho Commissioners Reply.
MOUNT IDAHO, March Is, 1901.


EDITOR FREE Press: In your
paper of March 2Sth, appears an
open letter addressed to Hon. J. C.
Stephens, Senator, Hor. A. W.
Moore. Representative, Hon. Louis
Smith, Representative, asking for
such legislation as would afford
some relief in the matter of COM
pensation for performing the duties
of county commissioner. In your
issue March Z, the Hon. j. G.
Stephens, Senator, rushes into
print making Il labored attempt to
explain how much he knows and
just what the court had in con-
temptation when the decision was
rendered in the case of Stookey VS..
Nez Perez county.
To commence he says in reply
find serious complaints against
the salary law. The above is
false. In that letter we defy the
gentlemen to find one word of
complaint against the said salary
law. The court says ''tliat
portion of The law appli cable to sal
aries OF county commissioners is
void aud Of no effect and until
further legislation is had county
commissioners will receive the
compensation now fixed by statute
viz. six dollars for each day actn-
ally engaged" i = Z; Stephens
says, "your salaries were fixed by
your predecessors hence are valid"
J. G. Stephens, in my wisdom has
said it. He further says ''yOur
salaries were known to you before
you accepted the nomination for
the Office. 2 Like all the Others at
that time we supposed it to be
fixed at S400 per annum and on
this there is no complaint. We
are perfectly willing to accept it
as it was understood at the time.
From what information we can
gather the pay per diem will very
materially reduce this remunera-
ton. The Honorable gentlemen
however, says, "should you have
to revert back to the old law
which fixes your pay at six dol
lars per day is surely all you
should have" He further says
"'The tree is known by it's fruit, Il,
60. Stephens might by your flu
ture action be induced to change
my mind)." We are at loss to
know what he means. Is it that
he has leading lines on us or does
he consider us children and he
means, now be good little boys and
grandma will buy us peanuts or
candy or it may be, allow us to go
to Boise and see the circus-if we
pay our own way. County COM
missioners under the old law can
not draw pay unless he is present
or accounted for.
Now Mr.. Editor, all we asked OF
the Honorable gentleman was for
that further legislature recited by
the court fixing a stated salary SO
it would be understood what the
compensation was. We called his
attention to the matter in re-
spectfnl and gentlemanly manner
and expected to receive the con-
sidcra,ion due one gentlemen from
another. The insinuations in this
mans reply as to our future action
would imply he either thinks he
has leading lines on us or we are
children and he is the person who
is by himself duly appointed to

EXTRA SESSION

peuort OF the Philippine Commits
sion Sent 10 Congress With a Rec
concentration From, h President
for Immediate Lexislation-An
Extra session OF Congress May BE
Nscassary-Civil Government Rec
commended, as War Is Virtually
over

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE report Of
The Philippine commission was with "a
recommendation by President McKin-
ley FOR immediate legislation Sent to
congress yesterday. This stimulated
the effort 10 include the Spooner bill
IN the emergency legislative
for this session. even at the cost OF an
extra session, which now seems prob
able.
Senator Lodge. chairman OF the Phil.
lppina committee, has for some time
been anxious to take up this bill and
pass il, but there were so many other
things necessary TO be lone at this
session that the senate steering com.
mittee has thought IL wiser TO leave
this legislation off their program be-
cause OF the discussion Il would pro-
woke TO delay all other legislation. The
report of the Philippine commission
Lays Considerable stre..
upon this proposed legislation. and
Judge Taft has urged its passage not
only IN his report. but In csblegrams
10 the secretary of wal and letters to
Senator Lodge and others in congress.
Judge Taft has convinced the secre-
tary OF war and the president that the
time has come for a change of form in
dealing with the F%ilipinos. He says
that until such legislation is enacted
no purely civil government car be es-
tablished. no public franchises OF any
kline cGn be granted and no investment
Of pTiv9te capital in internal improve
ments Is possible. All these things are
needed aud JudAe Taft and other mem
bers OF the commission believe that the
time has come 10 change the military
government to a civil government.
They believe that the war is over and
that native police can better suppress
Existing Disturbances
If backed up by the presence OF the
army as an auxiliary force than by the
army alone acting under military or
ders. The report has brought the adj
ministration and congress face to face
with the Philippine situation. and the
necessity Of s~upplantinG the military
government there with some form of
civil government. The ordinary OBJ
jections to an extra session of con-
gress will not be allowed 10 stand In
the way of this legislation. 1t will be
pressed upon congress by the admins
uation. and the steering committee OF
the senate will include ii in the legis-
latiye programme OF this session with
out regard to the consequences. But
It is considered as practically impossi-
BILE to ecu such legislation from
this congress without making neces-
sary an extra session Of the Fifty
seventh congress. probably immediate
ly after March 1.
