Gooding Will Not Call Special
Election
NOT PROPERLY SUBMITTED,
Atty-Cen. Says the Adoption
was Not Eeaglly Made.

There will be no special election
held to fill the vacancies created
by the adoption OF the constitu.
tional amendments abolishing
probate courts and re-districting
the state for judicial purposes.
Governor Gooding stated this
week that no call would be issued.
He is acting under the advice of
the attorney generals department
which has filed an opinion holding
"the amendments we're not regul-
arly submitted and ratified. !"
1t is probable that some sort OF
an action will be devised by the
interested parties to secure a set.
tlement Of the question in the
courts, although by reason OF the
action of the governor until the
matter has been SO disposed Of
there will. be no change in the
present court system.
The following letter was received
by the governor:
"Boise, Dec. 5. 1908. To His
Excellency, Frank r. Gooding,
governor OF the state of Idaho:
Dear Sir-Replying to your inquiry
as to whether under house joint
resolution No. 8, passed by the last
legislature, you should call a spec
ial election for judges in accord
ance with the provisions of the
amendments, adopted, would
advise you that in the opinion of
this Office the amendments in ques-
tion were not regularly submitted
and ratified. We have not had an
opportunity Of going as fully into
the authorities as we would desire
but are quite certain as to the cor
rectness of the conclusions reached.
II would advise you, therefore,
not to call the special election in

tions of vital importance to Grange
vile will be taken up and discussed.
1t being stated that a bill ask
ing for the creation of home for

ing an effort to have the same
located in this city will be dis
cussed.
The matter of petitioning the
the Northern Express Co.. to main
tain an up town Office will be dis.
cussed and an effort will be made
to have the Northern Pacific give
a lease for a term Of years on
ground in the vicinity of the stock
yards where feed and grain busi-
ness will be established, thus fur
nishing an advantage to stock
shippers from this point. Better
remember the date and be present.

Asslstant Atty. Gen, J"
Mr.. Snow stated that the grounds
for the opinion OF the legal depart

THAT the different propositions
submitted to the electors were not

Probably an Opera House.

Since it has been decided to hold
the next state convention of Odd
Fellows in this city there has been
a movement on foot to enlarge the
hall of the local order so. as 60 pro.
vide ample room for the meeting.
They are seriously considering the
moving of the present hall back
from the corner and erecting on the
ground an opera house and hall 65
by 100 feet. The matter will be
decided in several days and there ie
strong probabilities that the strnc-
ture will be erected. The l. o. o.
F. lodge of this city is among the
strongest fraternal orders and thel G
are many of its members who un.
doubtedly would be willing to take
considerable stock in this venture.
We believe such building would
pay good dividends and hope the
plan will be carried out.
