be no courthouse improvements in
Latah county or in any other coun-
ty in Idaho until the law governing
the powers of the board to expend
public money is modified, says the
Journal. 1t appears that the last

that even the people cannot vote
power into the hands of the board
to expend over $1,000 for any pur-
pose. a1'-V
That Is the opinion of County At
torney Stillinger, and it is under
stood to be the opinion of other
county attorneys in the state who
have been called upon to Investigate
the question. Ada county was plan
ming to expend about $4,000 in

will have to be abandoned.
thing to be proud of. 1t used to
be that the people, by petition,
could invest the boards of county
commissioners with power to expend
their money for needed improve
ments. but not so now. This pow
err was taken from them by the last
legislature, which seems to have
been the most brilliant aggregation
of lawmakers who ever graced

CHICAGO, Jan. 22.-Floating In
