A SPLENDID RECORD.
Brief Resume of A. A. Rich
ards Work in Senate.

During the campaign last fall TIL,
Index repeatedly urged the election
of A. A. Richards as senator from
Canyon county on the ground thai
while he was not brilliant orator
he was an industrious and effective
worker and we predicted he would
leave his impress on the records OF
the legislature for beneficial legisla-
ton. That prediction has been more
than fulfilled. The records show
that he secured the passage of as
many good measures as any other
member
OF the nine bills introduced by
him seven of them became laws
The one of most importance to En-
NETT was amending the act creating
the Emmettsville Independent school
district. The new law increases the
number of trustees from three to
six and changes the manner of col
lecting school taxes Of this district,
80 that hereafter they will be collect
ed in the same manner as are state
and county taxes at saving of 81
per cent to the taxpayer. The law
also provides for enlarging the dis
trict upon the petition of 10 or more
electors of the territory desired to
be annexed; it gives the board of
trustees power to determine the
qualifications of the superintendent
and teachers by examination.
The other six bills that became
laws are: Q) Memorial to congress
requesting the creation of a national
department of mines; ~ requiring
railroads to fence their right of way
or be liable for damages to stock; 81
fixing the rate to be charged by
newspapers for legal advertising;
(4) relating to the power of dis
trict judge sitting at chambers; (5) |
prescribing the method by which
territory may be annexed to any in
corporated city and giving the |
trustees authority to have said ter
ritory surveyed and the cost of same
assessed to the. then owners of said |
lands; (6) giving prosecuting attor-
neys power of filing new complaints
in criminal actions; 90 defining
duties of state engineer and his COM
pensation, and regulating the ap-
preparation of water for irrigation.
Mr.. Richards speaks highly of the
work of his colleagues. All worked
in harmony.
To Mr.. Richards is credited the
of two Canyon county
men to official positions: F. A.
Shaw of Nampa as journal clerk,
who was considered one of the most
efficient stenographers in the legis-
lature, and j. A. Neibaur of Bran
well az guard at the penitentiary.
To Mr.. Richards, also, more than
to anyone else probably. Postmaster
Waring owes his appointment.
