Is NOW l1A W.
The antl-lobby bill, introduced by
Wymon OF Ada county, having passed
both houses of the legislature, was
signed by the governor ON Monday, and
al once became n law. The law defines
an Illegal lobbyist, as one who lobbieS
for The passage of n bill for hire. or
where his peeuniary interest Is affected
by the proposed measure, Snoh lob
byist shall neither work for or against
the passage of a pending measure, eN-
cent In certain prescribed ways,
through open appearance before n COM
mittee. or through the publication of his
argument or by public addresses. Vlo-
iation Is made n misdemeanor, punish
able by fine of $500 or imprisonment In
the county jail not exceeding six
months.

which has passed both houses and is
now under consideration by the gov

OF the statute requiring acknowledge
ments Of married women to be taken
separate and apart from their hus-
bands. 1t provides that the married
women shall make the same aeknowl-
Judgement to q legal conveyance as she
would at present If unmarried. There
has not developed as yet any opposition
10 the bill among the women of the
state.
Two of the bills providing for the
creation of new counties have passed
the house and are now under consider
alton in the senate. These are 10 pro-
vide for the creation of Bonner county,
from North Kootenai. with county seat
nj Standpoint Professionally, and of Twin
Falls county, from Cassla, with county
seat at Twin Falls. 1t was Mt first sup
posed that the senate would take I'M
mediate action ON these bills. but for
some unexplained reason, the upper
house of tho legislature prefers to
make haste slowly in the considera-
tim of all house measures The bills
VIII both pass the senate without
amendment although final action may
be delayed several days.
