LEGISLATURE QUIT
LAST TUESDAY

The extra session of the legisla-
ture adjourned sine die last Tues
day afternoon.
A new revenue law, known as
house bill No. 35, was passed ON
the last day and has been signed by
the governor. This was a compro-
mise bill, and while 1t contains most
of the provisions of the revenne
bill which was vetoed by the gov
ernor, few changes were made IN
it to meet the wish of his excellency.
The governors desire for a state
tax commission was denied and
Idaho will have to wiggle along for
awhile without tax commission.
The new revenue bill requires the
county commissioners to prepare in
April an appropriation bill for the
ensuing fiscal year, and expendi-
lures are to be limited to that esti-
mate.

Senator Borah is certainly max
ing his influence felt in the U. S.
senate. Regarding his speech in
favor of his three-year homestead
bill, the Statesman's Washington
/. correspondent writes in part as fol-
aiows:
s'It lie often said of the United
States senate that votes are never
influenced by speeches; that the de-
bates are of no avail, insofar as
votes are concerned, and only afford
various senators an opportunity to
get their personal views before the
pnblic and before the senate. But
this rule, which usually holds good,
promises to be broken this session
when the senate takes up legisla-
lation looking to reform in our
land laws, and particularly the
homestead law. The speech which
has influenced votes on that ques-
tion 10 the speech delivered on Jan
uary II, by Senator William E.
Borah of Idaho, and the proof that
that speech influenced votes was
forthcoming as the speech progress
ed, and after it was concluded. For
senator after senator from the east
and south, men who have no public
lands in their own states, and who
have no direct interest in the home
stead law, rose in their places one
after another and pledged their sup
port 70 such remedial legislation an
Senator Borah proposed. These
same senator's have sat in their pla-
ces year after year, while other wes-
tern men have denounced the land
laws, and have refused TO give their
support to Legislation which will
tend to bring the land laws up to
date, and to facilitate the settlement
Of the west. Previous arguments

ator Borah proved effective; it

generating electricity, the dynamo
or generator as it will be called
hereafter, is usually mounted on the
same shaft with the water wheel and
is run ut the same speed. Just as
steam engines and water wheels are
rated in horsepower, generators are
rated in kilowatts CThis will be alb
breviated X. w. hereafter). One h.
w. is equal TO 1,DO0 watts. The watt
is the electrical unit of power, and
there are 746 of these units in one II.
p. In the case mentioned above
where it would be possible to obtain
about 1900 I'll. P. from the shaft OF a
water wheel using 20 second feet of
water under head of 800 feet, we
would require a generator having a
full load rating of about l,1l9,000
watts. This is obtained by multiply
ing l,500 by 748. 1,ll9,000 watts is
equal to Lie X. w. We should then
want a machine rated commercially
at about 1.200 K. w. to fulfill the re-
quirements of our installation.
We shalr now discuss the common
method of generating electricity for
commercial use. First of all it will
be necessary to assume some simple,
fundamental example to illustrate
this. Before doing this, however,
the writer wishes to explain the diff
erence between direct electric cur
rent and an alternating electric cur
rent. A direct elebtric current is one
that flows through wire in one di-
rection continuously. An alternat-
ing current is one that reverses It's
direction of flow quite rapidly, usual
ly about 1900 per minute. AS a re-
suit of these two methods OF trans
mitting and utilizing electricity we
have in commercial use d c. systems
direct current systems) and A. c..
systems alternating currentsystems).
Each have their valuable and impor.
tant characteristics in the field OF
power.
In the next paper we will discuss
the fundamental method of generat-
ing electricity as applied in the COM
mon generator.

BORAH MAKES PLEA
FOR new LAND LAWS
His Speech In the Senate in Behalf of His New
Homestead Bill was Mastery Effort and
Won Votes for the Measure.

tors to realization of what the
west is facing today, and what ii
wants for the future. So clear was
his portrayal OF. present day wrongs,
so thorough his exposition of the
evil effects of existing laws, and so
clear his indication of what the
west wants and needs that senatons
readily rallied to his support and
pledged themselves to vote with him
to reform the land laws which affect
settlement in the west.
s.There have been scores of speech
es delivered in the senate on the
shortcomings Of our land laws, and
all manner of reforms have been
urged without effect. But the speech
of Senator Borah, which consumed
only two hours, covered more
gronnd than all those that had pre-
ceded, and covered 1t thoroughly.
at is doubtful if ever before the
senate heard such a remarkable
speech on the public land question.
While he did not go into all phases
of the land question, he covered
thoroughly the various ramifications
of the homestead law with its at
tendant evils, and he appealed to
the senate 10 make it easier for the
honesVhomeseeker to get title to a
bit of public land; he pleaded for
congressional and in building up the
west; in checking the flood that has
set in to Canada; he asked for a
square deal for the homesteader,
and he showed how far short of a
square deal the homesteader has
been receiving of late years.
1.-The speech ID to be given wide
circulation, foi it is to be printed
in phamphlet form, and many west
ern senators have applied for
thousands of copies to circulate
among their own constituents. This
fact alone testiies to the quality OF
the speech of the Idaho senator.

THE MAYOR FIRES
THE POLICE FORCE

1t was rumored about town the
first Of ehe week that Mayor Hotf
had determined to make change
in the police force of Montpelier
and had asked Officers Hughes and
French for their designations. This
rumor was confirmed Wednesday
night, at which time the council was
called to meet in special session. No
meeting was held, however, as
Councilmen Reese, Jones and Rob-
ison are the only ones who showed
up. Councilman Lewis was out of
town, Douglas could not be located
and Sullivan was unable To attend
the meeting.
When the mayor learned that a
quorum could not be secured, he
asked City Clerk Glenn if the res
ignations of the officers had been
filed with him. The city clerk
replied that they had not. Officer
Hughes, who was present, stated
that be had no resignation to make.
Whereupon the mayor informed
Mr.. Hughes he was discharged and
requested him to turn over his star
and other property belonging to the
city, which request was promptly
complied with by Mr.. Hughes.
The mayor then announced that
Ed French was discharged an night
policeman, and that Ed Lindsay
had been chosen 10 succeed him.
Mr.. Lindsay was called to the city
hall by telephone and the oath of
Office was administered to him.
X. L. Robson, who was named
as chief of police, was sworn in
yesterday morning.
The mayor, it is presumed, will
present these nominations to the
council for confirmation at the
regniar meeting next Wednesday
night.

seeds come up to the required STAN
dard, > certificate will be issued
stating that the seed offered for
sale 10 of the required purity.
The buyer as well as the seller
of impure. seed is liable 30 a fine.
The two sections of the law Oh this
point are as follows:
