q Splrut0Q contest, In which n fr1ends
and opponents of division we're given
a full hearing. The bills will now go
to Governor Haines for his approval
or rejection, as they had already
passed the house.
Senator Macbeth has introduced a
bill which makes 1t unlawful for any
member Of the legislature to receive
from the governor or other Official or
board any appointment to any office
of trust or profit, honor or emolunlent
created by any law enacted by the
legislature of which he Is a member.
Sentiment in the present legislature
seems to be heavily on the side of
amending the present direct primary
law and a number of changes arA cor.
tain to be made.
House bill No. 5, which creates
the Eleventh judicial district and
which passed the house, is being free
ly criticised by business and, profes-
sional men of Caldwell and a strons
effort will probably be made to defeat
the bill in the senate. The measure
divides the present Seventh district,
leaving Canyon county in the Seventh,
and Washington and Adams together
as the eleventh.
Senator Brady has a reputation in
the east as a good roads advocate,
and the American Automobile asso-
cations officers are jubilant over
his election, as they expect him to
work in the interests of the proposed
national subsidy for the building of
good interstate roads.
