Denies Statement of Tri-
bune's Boise Writer.

To Lewiston Daily Tribune =
Your correspondent from Boise,
who calls himself Noah MARKS
has made statement in Letter
dated March IA, which says that
two members of the lower house
were elected to the legislature
for the specific purpose of Sc
curing an appropriation for one
little piece of mountain road and
worked through the session trad
ing their votes for anything in
sight in order to get their tile,
old four thousanddollar bill
through
The statement is false and also
the charges against the legislature
made in the same letter.
The bill he speaks of was No.
80, one of the earlier appropria-
tion bills. 1t was voted to lay on
the table and the next day mem
bers who had helped to vote it
uOWu CAME W us anu O1ICICo w
help take it from the table and
pass it, which was done without
any trading on my part.
Mr.. Marks makes an attack on
Mr.. Church concerning the tying
up of the business of the house
and threatening a permanent
deadlock, until assured that his
"pet bill" would pass. l do mo-
know Mr.. Church s motive in ty
ing up business as he did, al
though, according to rules he hae
a perfect right to do so. The rec
ords will show how l voted in th'
matter.
I knew nothing of this road bill
until after I was in Boise, so yo1
see that that bill did not figur
in my section.
I wish you would publish this
for T would like to have the read
ers of the Tribune know the trutl
and not be misled by the falls
