Looking at the matter from an un.

do not hesitate In saying that there
are many reasons for drawing the
conclusion that the next session of
the legislature will be OF a different
political complexion. In the session
just closed there were many bright
members. In fact would rank well

in the nation. While the democrats

Governor GOoding was very much
interested, apparently, In the anti
pass measure, although it was gener-
ally considered ty the members that
he was making grand-stand play.
The day previous to the close Of the
session he WAS bGttonholing the re-
publican members as well as telling
the democratic members that he
expected them to stand by this meas
ure. Some of the bishops had been
"hot under the collar since the be-
ginning Of the session, and come TO
the conclusion that this was the op-
portunity TO get even. When the
anti-pass bill came up Bishop Hart
made motion that the bill be in
definitely postponed. The vote
showed that the bishops had the
matter well in hand and the motion
prevailed. Bishop Hart then rose 10
bis seat, took the bin from his pock.
ct. tore It in sbreds and stated that
he did this to show his unutteraDie
contempt for the man in the capital
building: and pointing TO the gov
ernor's secretary i'm the gallery he
told him to go and tell his master.
This denunciation OF the governor is
said to have been one Of the most

The Sunday closing law bill, which
was passed by the house carried in
the senate. This measure will force
the closing OF saloons, theaters and
all business houses except drug stores
on the Sabbath. Quite discussion
was raised in the senate by Macbeth
when the appropriation for state ex.
penses was on its passage. He stated
that state money had been so reck.
lessly spent that suit will be brought
to see IL the amendment of granting
such an expenditure in the recent
campaign was legal. Macbeth said,
'You claim the amendment was
passed, but the courts will say about
that, as there are many who do not
believe it.. The question of how
much 1t would be necessary to raise
the present state levy to meet the
appropriation was discussed at some
length upon the floor, but no one
seemed to be able to even approx.
mate an answer. 1t was pretty gen.
orally agreed that 1t would be neces.
sary to very materially increase the
state levy.

dramatic incidsnts OF the session.

Among the last duties of the ses-
sion Of the senate was an effort to
pass the bill taking the appointiye
power out of the bands OF the gov
ernor to positions which had been
created by the legislature. When the
bill came up Bishop Hart again arose
in his seat and said "ro further
show my contempt ! move that this
bill be passed." With tue assistance
of the democrats the bishop had
enough Mormon friends to stay with
him, with the result the bill will be
come law, unless the governor
should try to play even and veto the
bill. In the closing session the house
had cleared the table OF all bills and
were waiting the actions of the SEN
ate so that final adjournment could
be taken. The house was In a hilari-
Gus mood and good deal of "horse
play" was INDUCED In. The senate
was more sedate in their demeanor,
but there seemed to be general
feeling OF satisfaction, and In many
cases OF elation that the session S
work was about ended.
The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1907-03-14

AT the present time it would be
difficult TO attempt to analyze the
work that has been accomplished
Outside Of the appropriation meas
ures, there has no doubt been some
good legislation passed. Much has
been defeated which the people de-
manded, and for that reason the
trust has been betrayed. IL is safe
to predict now that there will b,
more new faces in the next session
than there was in this. This will
he true whether the republicans or
democrats are In power two years
from now. The feeling OF the people
will be that the majority members
have not carried out the pledges
which the party bad made to the
people. In this day of numerous
newspapers the people of Idaho are
conversant OF the doings OF the legis-
lature, and they now know who is re-.
sponsible for the lack OF fulfillnienC
of duty to the state. The talk among
honest republican members In the
closing Gays was the most gloomy for
the political future.
The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1907-03-14

law, the anti-pass bill and the en-
ployers liability bill are much needed
legislation, yet the direct primary
law was the most important and the
one in which the people were the
most greatly interested.
Had it not been for the bolt from
the dictatiOns of the anti-machine
and anti-Mormon republicans in the
house a mongresl primary bill, of no
more benefit to the state than the
present election law would have been
passed. This was the kind OF bill
suggested by Senator Hepburn, which
was unanimously supported by the
machine. The bolting republicans
and the democrats Of the house sup
ported bill which was in line of the
republican platform, but when it
came to the machine and Mormon
contingent of the senate met its de-
feat. One of the bitter fights of the
session was over the repeal OF the
two mile limit law, changing it to
one mile. This was defeated In the
senate When the roll was called the
vote was ten to ten, when it reached
the last name, which was Senator
Whitwell, of Lemhi county. Senator
Wbitwell voting 'No'' the measure
was defeated by one vote. When
this measure was on its passage the
large sheep men of the state were
present and used their influence for
the passage of the bill.
In the last two days of the session
debate was cut down to the lowest
shortest possible period, and a large
grist of bills was disposed of by both
branches. Among. the bills for local
sections was one by Kirtley of Lemhi
county, which permitted the voters of
his county to decide whether county
should pay warrants for roads already
constructed. The test oath bill met
lts deaJn 10 the senate, as was ex-
pected. A conference committee
from both houses met with the pur-
pose of removing the obnoxious por.
tions OF the bill to the Mormon mem
bers, The house would not recede
from its position on the celestial
marriage clause, and naturally the
Mormon bishops of the senate would
not support the BILL Out of the
large number of bills creating new
counties which were introduced, but
very small proportion were success
full. The senate disposed of the re-
naming bills of this nature on the
calendar in very short order. Idaho
has followed the example of some of
the older states in exempting old SOL
diers from the payment of taxes.
