"
James H. Brady affixed thereto, the
measure raising the standard Of the
salaries of the county officers and es-
pecially of county superintendent,
which as passed in the lower house,
where it originated, and killed in the
senate, and afterwards signed by the
president of the senate and returned to
the house, will 90 on the statute books
as one of the new laws, while another
house measure designed to grant re-
lief to the Great Western Mineral q
Mining company Of Idaho Falls,
which was passed by both houses, failed
to reach the chief executive and died
on the way from the senate to the
house, the records of the senate show
ing that the bill was passed and re-
turned to the house, but no further
record of the bill being found.
The house bill No. 50 by McFadden
amending section 211S of the revised
codes regarding the salaries of county
officers, was passed by the house Feb
ruary "a by vote of 80 to 8 and was
defeated in the senate on March 5 by
vote of to 16. The record Of the
bill in the house shows that the bill
was signed by the president of the
senate March 6, the entry under the
date of the sixth Of March being
crossed out by lead pencil marks. The
signing of the bill after it had been
killed by the senate, and the subse-
quent approval thereof by the govern
or, leaves the bill in the hands of the
secretary of state to be placed upon
the statutes, the legislative enactment
to be tested in the courts
Irregularity Discovered
The approval of the county officers
salary bill, after its inglorious death
in the senate was made Monday,
March Is, the irregularity being dis
covered by Miss S. Belle Chamberlin,
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton, who appraised the private secre-
tary to the governor of that fact. The
secretary was positive that the bill
had been passed by the senate, and
readily took wager of box Of sweet
meats after having his confidence
somewhat shaken by proposal of the
superintendent to make It a spring
bonnet and make the wager worth
while. The recoed of the bill in the
house and also in the senate was
looked up, and the fact disclosed that
the bill really had been killed in the
senate; but signed by the president Of
the senate, evidently by mistake.
