Parks and Presidential
The State Journal is delighted to see
today that its morning contemporary
is. too, in favor of an East Side park
and play -ground The morning and
the evening paper are thus in accord
at least upon this one proposition
While the editor of this paper owns
only two lots in the eastern portion OF
the city or the suburbs thereof. most
of his real estate being on the west
side, he is an enthusiastic advocate Of
a beautiful park for the eastern por-
ton of the city and is willing to join
in any practical plan for it's realiza-
ton. as numerous references in the
columns of this paper must have as
sured its readers.
The time to make preparation for
this East side park is apparently now
so that when spring opens something
can be done in practical way. 1t is
fortunate for the prospects, of this
park thar the mayor and the other
commissioners all seem to be most IA
vorable to it. The only thing to be
done is to work out the best ways and
means for securing the park, and then
secure it.

makes a Violator of the law and imme-

he employs d detective to cause the

One man said today: we know now
the State Journal is going to support
Mayor Billiard for governor. Otherwise,
it surely would not have printed that
article about Simon and Norris and

Well, the Topeka Capital also printed
the article-twelve hours later to be
sure, but that is nothing unusual, for a
morning paper often prints news day
later than the evening paper
Under the same logic, the Capital
will also support Billiard for governor.

E B. Jewett, of Wichita. formerly
warden of the state penitentiary and
an active citizen of the southern
metropolis of Kansas. suggests the
presidential ticket: Roosevelt and Bry-
an; and strange to say the line of diff
ference between the two parties is so
often SO nearly obliterated that it is
doubtless true that there are no a few
people who would be delighted to vote
for 5ust such a ticket.
Neither of the distinguished gentle
men who are thus named however are
candidates. and as Colonel Bryan naive
~ says, cannot conceive any condi-
ton that would make it possible for
him to become candidate.

The readers, especially the insur-
gent readers, of which this paper has
many. are kindly and earnestly re-
quested to carefully read the state
ment on the first page of this paper
today in regard to tho Presidential
possibilities. Mr.. Lawrence F. Abbott,
president of the Outlook company of
New York, with which Col. Roosevelt
is actively associated. makes this
statement;
You ask me whether Mr.. Roosevelt
is a candidate for the presidency. I
answer no. He is not a candidate; he
does not desire to be a candidate; he
has discourag ed and is discouraging in
every possible way all talk of his can
didacy and he will take no active share
of any kind in the contests of various
candidates-contests which are always
in evidence for two or three months
preceding any national convention"
Mr.. Abbott also goes into details in
which he says that Colonel Roosevelt
has always been friendly to President
Taft, in these significant words: "Mr.
Roosevelt has never failed, Mr. Alb
bolt declares. to respond quickly and
cordially to the slightest wish express
ed by Mr. Taft for his company or his
views and he instances the private

IMPORTANT CHANGES IN
SCHOOL LAW.

County Superintendent Clan
vile is sending out letters to the
various school districts over the
county calling attention to the
changes made in the school law
at the special session of the leg
islature.
The annual school election is
held on April 18th in all the dis
tricts.
Under the provisions just enact
ed, district having less than
twenty children is required to
hold a five months term; dis
trict having between twenty and
seventy five children is required
to hold six months term; and
a district having more than sew
enty five children is required to
hold a nine months term. Under
the new law any district that is
unable to maintain school for the
minimum time as required by law
after having levied special tax
of five mills, may be allowed spe-
cial aid in addition to the reg
ular apportionment.
The superintendent also calls
special attention to the obser-
vance of Arbor Day, which he has
set for the Doth inst. for Idaho
county, as per the Governor s
proclamation.

BASEBALL DOPE.

With the warm weather comes
the base ball bug and the fans
begin to stir around and from all
sides one hears these questions
When is the first game "Who
will do the slab work? etc. The
boys plan to open the season here
on April %, with Lewiston or
the Myrtle Indians and will play
Kooskia a practice game at that
place on April IA and probably
Sites on the 21st.
The boys have written to prac-
tiaclly all the teams in the coun-
try trying to schedule games and
within a short time a schedule
will be announced.
The team had planned on secur
ing the services of Bill Auburn,
pitcher who, it was claimed
was able to deliver the goods, but
they were unable to secure a
job for him so will still have to
depend on Holly and Ingram to
do the slab work. While the
fans are not uneasy as to the out

action as his friends here were

greatest weakness was with the
stick but particular attention will
be given to that this year and
it is expected to develop bunch
of hitters, that coupled with their
fielding will make a winning
team. Another weak spot last
year was short and third, but

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.

1t may be the wrong time of
the year to agitate constitutional
questions, but agitation at any
time whereby the enormous taxa
ton we are now staggering under
is to be increased is in order, per-
tinent and appropriate. I refer to
the constitutional amendment that
We will be called upon to vote for
or against at the next general cleo
ton, on the question, Shall the
Membership of the Legislature of
Idaho be Increased?
The question in detail is:
Shall Section 2 of Article 3 of
the constitution of the state of
Idaho be amended so as to pro-
vide that the senate shall consist
of one member from each of the
counties of the state now created
or which may hereafter be created
and the house of representatives
consists of not to exceed three
times the number of senators
Under the laws as they stand
today the legislature will consist
of "a senators and 60 in the house
of representatives, a total of "a
members. We cannot under the
constitution have but "a members
In the senate. We have today 90,
and Clearwater county makes the
24th senator and the Goth repre-
sentative, which will make our
full constitutional quota. Every
recurring session costs more per
capita than the previous one. TIL
last session appropriation for leg
islative expenses was $67 500, an
average of over $500 per member.
At the last session there was
created besides Clearwater coun-
ty, Lewis county, which will have
a joint senator with Idaho county,
known as the 18th senatorial dis
trict. Adams county, segrega-
ton of Washington county, will
be in the 22nd senatorial district
with a joint senator with Washing
ton. Bonneville county, segre-
CATION of Bingham county, will be
in the 5th senatorial district with
a joint senator with Bingham
county. These four new counties
now make 81 counties. Idaho
county will probably have a coun-
ty division fight again next year.
Power county, with American
Falls as its county seat, will prob
ably be segregated from Oneida.
Fremont county will probably be
divided into three counties, thus
making 81 counties, and how
many more divisions will be sug-
gested no one knows. Let me call
your attention to the fact that
there is no limit to the number of
new counties that may be created
under this proposed amendment.
Local option, railroad commits
sions, Sunday rest, initiative or
referendum or any question can
be traded for new county vote.
1t is reasonable to suppose that
four new counties will be Great
ed at the next session, if this
constitutional amendment passes.
Then the senate would consist of
81 members and SO members in
the house, at an expense of $500
per member, would require an APP
preparation of 100000 for the ex
penses of the term. The ninth ses-
sion cost $50, 600; the tenth cost
500, 900; the eleventh cost $67 500.
this amendment pass it
will be but a little while before
we will have a $150,OO0 legisla-

CAN COMMUTE
IN NAT.FOREST
Lewiston u. S. Land Office
Has Been SO Advised
From Washington.

Homesteaders on many hun
dreds of acres of land located in
the Nez Perez national forest and
which was excluded from the re-
serve and withdrawn for CLASH
fication under the act of June
25, 1910, will be allowed to com
mute their entries after ii months
residence thereon and cultivation
of the land as under the regular
homestead laws, this news being
conveyed to the Lewiston land
office last week by the general
land office at Washington.
The Lewiston office was advis-
ed March 7 last that the vacant
and unappropriated public lands,
lying within the national forest
reserve to the extent of 1000
acres, had been excluded, all of
which, with the exception Of 1875
acres, was withdrawn for power
site purposes. Under the act of
June IL, 1906, which authorizes
homestead entries for lands with
in the national forests which are
chiefly valuable for agricultural
purposes and not needed for pub
lie use, most Of the excluded
lands were entered upon. The
communication provisions of the
homestead laws do not apply to
entries made under this act, but |
entrymen were required to make
final five-year proof.
With the withdrawal of the
lands the officials of the Lewis
ton land office Immediately set |
about ascertaining whether or not
the privilege of Communication |
would be extended homesteaders
on lands within the national for
ests suitable for agricultural pur-
poses, after the same had been
excluded from the reserve and
restored to the public domain. It |
was in reply to this query that |
the general land office held that |
a person making homestead entry |
under the act Of June II, 1906, in |
volving lands which are subse-
quently eliminated from the ma
tional forest limits, may commute |
his entry after IA months, such |
action being similar to that tax
en- relative to entries made with
in reclamation projects, under
the act of June II, 1902, and aft
erward restored from such re-
clamation withdrawal.
While it is preferable that en-
trymen of the class referred to
apply for an adjustment of their
entries to the legal subdivision,
yet the entrymen cannot be COM
PEELED to so adjust.
The lands effected are located |
In township 30 north, range 4
east, sections Z and 8 and the
west half of sections 10 ami 10,
Boise meridian. The land includ-
ed in power site reserve No. 209
is described as follows: Township
80 north, range 4 east, south half
of the northeast quarter; south
east quarter of the southwest
quarter; southeast quarter section
z; south half of the northwest
quarter; south half section 8;
lots /, 2 and 3, east half, west
half of section 10; east half of
the northwest quarter and north
east quarter Of the southwest
quarter of section 10.
