DIRECT PRIMARY PASSED
Idaho Legislature Redeenls
Another Pledge.
BILLS PASSED LAST WEEK
Measures on Which Final Action
has been Taken.

With only one dissenting vote
the Idaho senate passed the house
direct primary bill. Shoup Of
Lemhi, son of the late United
States Senator Shoup, voted
against the measure, saying the
people of his county did not want
such a law. However the bill was
not passed without a warm dis
cussion as to its merits, and
narrowly escaped being amended.
Whitaker of Bonner said the
measure was vicious one. Davis
asked him to point out the vicious
ness of the bill and the Bonner
senator replied: that it was a erich
mans law, vicious and inconsist-
ent," and he accused the demo.
Gratis of aiding the republican
majority in passing it without
amendment. Shawhan objected
to Whitaker's reference to the bill
as democratic measure. He said
it was introduced and passed in
the house by republicans. Bowen
said the measure was not what it
should be, since it did not provide
for the Oregon system of voting
for the peoples choice.
The bill passed was introduced
in the house by Woodward, Par.
sons and Addison of Idaho county
and was believed to be the most
desirable of the four that had been
presented to the legislature. 1t
was passed by the house on Feb.
10th by vote of 80 to II. The
house action on the measure was
regarded at the time as being
hasty, the disposition apparently
being to allow the senate to wrestle
with the problem.

LOCAL OPTION IN IDAHO
The Law as a Lewiston Paper
Views it.

Views It.
The local option measure which
has been passed by the state legis-
lature was evidently demanded by
popular sentiment, and its adop-
ton fulfills the pledges given by
the dominant political party in the
state in the last election, and by
many individual members of the
legislature. The bill is more
liberal in some of its provisions
than the one first proposed, and
may be more easily put into opera
ton.
The new measure affords the
people means of expressing their
sentiments as to liquor selling
regulations, and will doubtless
result in many popular election
tests on the subject. The bill is
one of county scope, and not one
of strictly local bearing, for its
effect covers the entire county
where applied; but with this modi-
fication: where a dry district has
previously existed an adverse vote
in the county of which such dis
trict is part shall not affect the
existing provisions; but, on the
other hand, where the vote is in
favor OF the proposition, all por.
tons of the county shall be affect
ed by it. With a "wet" Lewiston,
the adoption of prohibition, under
local option election, would
make the city "dry," but if, when
it is "dry,' the county should &C
"wet," the city would stay "dry'
until changed by its own regula.
tions.
Those who are competent. tc
Judge and have carefully examined
the law as passed regard it as q
strict, but a fair and evidently
constitutionally sound measure ol

On Tuesday, i, being apparent
that the legislature could not pos
sibly complete its work by the
time for adjournment, March 4,
plan was proposed to continue the
session two more days Or until the
close of the present week.
The senate state affairs commit
tee made reports on the investiga-
ton of the charges of extravaganza
and mismanagement against the
capitol building mission, ex-
onerating the commission from all
blame but admitting that the
building when completed will have
cost more than anticipated.
