HAWlfY YfTOS REVENUE Bill.
Submitted to Him by the Legislature
Members Threaten to Adjourn.

BY joint resolution. both houses Of
the Idaho legislature have decided to
ADJOURN this evening at o'clock and
return nome. So far as the actual
amendment Of the revenue law the
state is in exactly the same position
now as 1t was prior to the convening
OF the extra session, and unless some
thing unusual occurs, conditions will
not have changed materially by the
time the gavels of the presiding Of
ficers fall for the last time this even
ing.
The veto of house bill No. 81 by
Governor Hawley yesterday afternoon,
although anticipated by some of the
members, came as a kind of shock
to the majority of the legislature, who
had the impression, born of desire
largely, that the governor would be
satisfied with half loaf rather than
no bread. In other members it reused
fierce anger. This was particularly
true of the insurgent members among
the Republicans in the lower house,
who at once became the most rabid
opponents of the governors demands.
House VIII Try Again.
The Republicans of both the house
and senate met in caucus last night.
The house Republicans after consid-
cradle discussion decided to make one
more effort at securing remedial legis-
lation. Before adjournment was taken,
which occurred shortly after 10 O'Clock
last night, plan of action was decid-
ed on, practically as follows:
House bill 35, now on third reading,
will be introduced, with amendments.
The bill now provides for an appro-
priation of $4,000 to be expended by
the state board of equalization in the
employment of experts and the pay
ment of their expenses to investigate
and report to the state board in regard
to valuations of property, and assess
ments as made in the various counties,
so that the state board may have data
upon which to base it's equalization.
Will Take In Davis Bill.
The amendments will include house
bill 81 in it's entirety, except that the
measure will be in regard to the clas-
slhcat1on OF property, as provided in
house bill No. I, providing for the
spreading Of the full cash value of
property on the assessment rolls, and
clarifying the provisions of house bill
81 in regard to bank assessments.
The senate caucus was not in ses-

house caucus, and reached the con-
clusion that their action would to an
extent depend upon the conclusion
reached by the house caucus, with the
proviso, that the extra session of the
legislature should adjourn today. The
! clock may be conveniently stopped to-
ward the close of the day, and may re-
main stopped for a number of hours,
| but final adjournment should be reach

| Charge OF Bad Faith.
The discussion in the senate caucus
was reported to be somewhat spirited
Some Of the members who had tried
hardest to reach basis for legislative
service to the people, as between the
wishes of the governor and the beliefs
of the Republican members, were not
chary in charging bad faith on the part
of the governor in permitting the Re-
publicans to believe that a basis of
agreement had been reached, when in
point of fact as had at no time intend
