Legislative Matters

Our regular correspondent at the
state capitol mas failed TO send any
article this week, SO We suppose it is
up to US to say few things regarding
the action of the legislature so tar.
The first thing acted on by the
| House was the local option bill which
Was passed by vote of n to 8, al.
though at canCns the night before it
Is undoubtedly true that majority of
the republican members signed an
agreement to vote against it, but sIch
is-life, to day we think we have some
| thing nailed down and the next morn.
ing wake up and find it was all a
dream. However, we are willing to
make a prediction that the present
local" option bill stands absolutely
no chance of becoming a law in Idaho
this year No. not even If Mr.. Sunday
should butt in and attempt to tell us
about our business as he Is dong in
Washington.
Any direct primary legislation has a
very rocky road before it aud will
probably meet the same unkind fate.
While the Clearwater Memorial Bill
was killed in the House by large
majority. the question is very liable to
pop up again IN some some different
form and the opponents of this
measure should keep at least one eye
open most of the time until the present
legislature adjourns sine die.
Among the other bills now before
the legislature, those that are of most
interest to the average voter are the
Railway Commission, Public Utilities,
and Grain and Warehouse Commission
! Bills. We are willing TO stake our re.
putation as prophet (whatever that
may be WORTHY that grave has al.
ready been dug for all these bills and
the only thing that remains is to hold
the funeral services and decentiy inter
them.
Undoubtedly the general appropri
alton bills and few things of that
character will be bassed, but aside
| from some few unimportant things the
present attitude of he ma jorty of the
| L. ,,l-
inactivity.
