Section 1871. Chapter X Page 233
Revised Statutes of Idaho. The Treasurer
of the several counties respectively, must,
between the first aed fifteenth of January,
April, July and October of each year, make
out and transmit by mail, express, or otht r
safe conveyance, statement to the Ter
ritorial Controller and Treasurer, and settle
in full with the Territorial Controller and
pay over in CASH to the Territorial Treasur-
er all funds which have come into their
hands as County Treasurers before the close
of business at the end of the previous
month, and belonging to the Territory.
The above extract of the idaho law is
very plain and requires the money to be
paid by the counties to the State Treasurer
in cash. This is an enormous a mount al
cash and in many cases the express would be
from one to two hundred dollars for a
county. State Treasurer Hastings has To
demand the cash or violate the letter f the
law, as the law does not regard drafts or
checks as cash. To accept a draft for this
amount and thus accommodate the coants
would be as serious violation of the law sas
any the Statesman has SO persistently
harped upon in its effort to- make the people
believe the stete treasurer is comon law
breaker.

BOOST FOR THE FIRE ALARM.

The Montpelier Volunteer Fire Depart
ment has certainly made a record since its
organization that should be fhe pride of
the entire city. The tribute paid by the
insurance adiustor during his visit here
came from man who visits the scene Of
some contligation almost every day, and
who has expert knowledge upon the SUBJ
ject Of fire fighting He said that the
Montpelier fire department had done work
at the creamery fire which he seldom if
ever saw in a small town.
Whatever the fire department is they
have practically made themselves without
the aid of the city. They have been active
since their organization and all of their
energies have been devoted toward the bet
ter equipping of their company to save the
property of Montpelier property owners
from destruction by fire. They now wish
to add a complete and up-to-date fire alarm
system. Every Montpelier citizen should
take as keen an interest in this movement
as any member of the fire department..
dollar is not SO much money for any one To
contribute to such cause, and every
citizen whether he likes dancing or not
should purchase ticket to the dance next

A number of papers in the state have
thrown out hints that because of Senator
Heyburn's attitude on the direct primary
question in which he contends the people of
Shoshone sr any other county could not in
struct representatives of Bear Lake or any
other county on such measures, that he re-
leased the legislature from the pledge to
fe-elect him to the United States Senate.
These papers are generally those who have
howled the loudest about broken pledges in
the past It is strange how some, papers
like people, can always figure out what
they want is exactly right and what the y
don't want is always wrong.

Dispatches from over the entire country
indicate that the election of William H.
Taft for president has restored confidence,
and the wheels of industry and progress
have again commenced revolving merrily.
Everywhere the evidence is seen. Even
here in Montpelier comes the immediate
announcement that the O. S. L. will build
substantial structures.
Montpelier people it is hoped will get

substantial buildings and with such bright
prospects for the next four years they may.

THE LEGISLATURE.

The timeis not far distant until the
Idaho legislature will again be in session
and few sessions in the history of the state
have attracted such wide spread attention
as this session will attract. The legislature
is safely in the republican ranks, and if the
republican members succeed in organizing
themselves into an effective working BODY
the many reforms promised in the repubE-
can platform may be expected to pass
The all absorbing question during the
first few days of the session will be the
election Of United States Senator. Or
dinarialy this would be the most interest
ing part of the session, but those who are
high in the councils of the republican party
are of the opinion that it will be. quickly
disposed of. The republican party in con-
vention has pledged itself to re-elect Senat-
or W. B. Hepburn, and it is believed that
the legislature will quickly ratify the ac.
tion of the convention and dispose of this
question. Senator Heybutn is so eminent
ly fitted for the position that it is believed
he would have The united support of the
party whether the convention mad nominat-
ed him or not. His record in the senate
alre a ~ is one full of achievement and results
He is regarded as one of the leading mem
bers of the National congress-, and even
without the pledge of the party it is not
believed the republican party would turn
him down. While there has been consider
able talk in some instances of opposition to
Senator Hepburn it is generally believed
that the movement is only inaugurated by
selfish opponents of the senator and it is
generally conceded that the republican
members of the house will not even listen
to such suggestion.
After the senatorial question has been
disposed of the local option and direct
primary laws will be the center of attrac-
ton. The party is pledged to local option
law by counties, and of course it will be the
aim of the party leaders to have such a law
passed. The presence of nine democrats
in the senate, however, who are not SO
pledged, and the presence of one or two
republican senators who do not believe in
the measure, may cause the party leaders
hard fight in their efforts to redeem this
pledge.
The direct primary law was turned
down in the state convention, but
large number of The counties took the
up before their own people and a
large number of the memt ers of the 1egis-
lature, both democrats and republicans are
pledged to this measure. It viii probably
be the hardest fought measure before the
members of this session as there il an
