tificate was issued to him for the amount
The detailed statement of deficiency

and S19.03e.15 to Mr.. Hawley. while w A.
Stone was paid $500. The list as published
does not show what portion of the legal
expense was for fees and what for ex-
Penses. Local detectives and guards con-
sumo much of the remainder while S3OOD

After killing off the anti-pass bill that
was passed by the house some weeks ago

through two county division bills unau-
imously. These are the house bills
creating the counties of Bonner and Twin
Falls, the former from the upper por-
ton of Kootenai and the latter from the
western part of Cassia.

s. 900 to employ counsel and intervene in
the suit brought by the government

ton.
Mr. Jensen. chairman of the special
joint committee. yesterday brought IN a
favorable report on S. b. 10i, providing
for the appropriation and the report was
adopted. apparently escaping the eagle
eye of Speaker Joseph and Mr.: knchler.

third reading so that 1t will come mp one
day next week. The bill introduced In
the house, which is identical with the
senate bill, is still in the hands of the
committee on public lands, where 1t viii

FEDERAL BUNCH IGNORED
Richfeld Citizens Fail to Remember
Bosses in Issuing Invitations for
Legislative Junket.

The so-caIled bunch of would-be bosses
comprising Marshal spry. Edward II.
Callister, ct al, were Ignored by the good
people of Richfield in making ont their in
vitation list for the legislative junket
which takes place today. The activity
of the machine in endeavOring to die
tate the course of legislation and hold up
the so-cailed Galveston bills is thought
to have had considerable to do with the
slight. The affair has caused consider
able comment because of the fact that
all the state officials and many prominent
citizens were invited, making the ignoring
of the federal office holders all the more
noticeable

penalty for the first offense of a fine OF
500 and for the second offense a fine OF
1923 and imprisonment in the county jail

is convicted of this is only guilty of
misdemeanor and liable to any fine the
court may see fit to impose between 81
and $500 1t viii be noticed that in the
proposed measure the fine is fixed in each
instance at definite sum and not left
to the discretion of the court. and upon
second conviction the accused must go TO
jail in addition to paying the 1929 fine.

House Determines to Probe Into
Question of Wrongful
Quotations.
COMMITTEE GIVEN POWER
MAY SUMMON WITNESSES FOR
INVESTIGATION.

The house is determined to probe the
alleged false quotations on metals and
other commodities Mr. Kuchler chair
man Of the special committee appointed
tor that purpose under house resolution
No. /. yesterday asked the house for au-
thority to subpoena witnesses.
Mr.. Kuchler said that invitations had
been sent to twenty persons interested in
the matter and who might give informa-
ton that would be valuable to the com
mittee in its investigation. but that only
one mad responded. He said that the mat
ter was one of much Importance TO the
producers. not only of ores. out of other
marketable products as we'll: that QUOTA
lions, especially on silver, were sent out
and printed that were incorrect and upon
which mine owners lose a great deal of
money.
Speaker Joseph left the chair to sup
port the motion and demand a square
deal, especially for the small mine own
ers He said certain concerns were TAX
ing advantage of ore sellers, wool men,
livestock raiseTs and oeher producers of
the state and the producers were being
mulcted to the amount of thousands of
dollars annually. The persons who were
aware of these conditions should be COM
PEELED TO come and give evidence in order
that the legislature might. if possible,
pass such laws as would remedy the evil.
MIR Barnett explained that the sales of
metals, except gold. were regulated in
the main by the quotations in the Engi-
neering and Mining Journal and that the
settlements with those who have con-
tracts are based on these quotations. but
that there are many small shippers who
nave no contracts. Ore buyers take adj
vantage of these shippers, said Mr.. Bar
nett, by reason of incorrect quotations
sent out from various sources. and that
the matter was one of much concern to
a large number of producers of the state.
The motion to empower the committee
to subpoena witnesses was adopted.

pose of investigating the subterranean

CritchIow Explains.

Mr. Critchlow. on a question of per-
sonaI privilege. explained that three of
the bills in question were matters which
properly had been referred to his COM
n1ittee Ten other bills on the same SUBJ
iect had only been referred to the COM
mittee at the present sitting When
questioned by a senator the day before
as, to what had become OF the ten bills,
frora 81 to 46, he had been compelled to
reply that so far as he knew they had
not been reported to the house. Thus ne
was in part responsible for the resolu-
ton which had come from the senate.
He had no desire to reflect upon any
one. much less the senate. and his last
motion had been offered because of his
understanding of the suggestion made by
the speaker.
The Galveston bills having been report
ed and referred to the special committee
on municipal government, the subject of
the cause of the delay is the only ques-
fion for the investigation OF the last
named special committee
As stated in the beginning it is safe
to say that communications from the
senate will hereafter be regarded by the
officials of the house as privileged and
will not be subject to the pigeon-hole
method of veto.
The fire and police commission bill was
not brought up in the house yesterday as
expected, but the understanding is that
il will be considered by the committee,
along with the Galveston bills. on the
trip to Richfield today
