legislation might be adopted which would give
each captain certain period Of time in pre-
cinct. but would render his trial for ineficiency
more ready and his punishment swifter ana
more certain than it is now. He would pre-
vent also the constant appeals to the highest
courts, and on that point he Is certainly right
The notion OF carrying to the Appellate Dlyls

missal of captain is absurd. The truth OF the
matter seems to be that our Police Department
is full of specially favored officials, and that a
change Is necessary.

from the Boise Statesman showing
the attitude of Mr.. Thomas on the
bill repeating river franchises
Representative Thomas of Nez-
perez stated that his county was
affected more by the measure under
consideration than any other county
of the state. The policy of those
heretofore asking for franchises had
seemed to be, declared the speaker,
to ask to improve rivers which
needed no improvement, and where
the right to collect toll would be
pure graft. He cited as an illustra-
ton the Clearwater river, which had
Aoated RATS for many years and
which needed no improving. The
state board had rejected four
applications for franchises on that
stream, he stated, which would be
worth 81 900 900 and would not cost
$1,000. If any just franchises we're
desired, he had been informed, the
legislature had the right to grant
