STATE THREATENS
TO SUE RAILROADS

2 RATE LAWS ARE INVOLVED
Shippers Alone Are Entitled to $f7,
100000 Rebate, Administration
Thinks-Master In chancery
Could Adjust Claims.

Jefferson City-If the railroads do
not show an inclination to mako
prompt refund to those proving their
claims for overcharges on account Of
the 2-cent passenger rate law deci-
sion, they may find themselves up
against a very serious proposition.
The state may take a hand in adjust
ing those claims, and If it does the
railroads will be called upon to re-
fund all the money in excess of the 2
cents per mile they have collected
since the 2-cent law became effective.
"The attorney generals department
is looking into the question to deter
mine what action may be taken. AS
sistant Attorney General Fitch and
Attorney E. ]. Bean, of the public
service commission, almost have
come to the conclusion that the state
a maintain an action against the
railroads by which a master in chanc.
cry can be appointed by the supreme
court to collect the claims and make
q finding for adjustment of them.
Master Could Adjust Claims.
This master could give notice to the
people to send their claims to him fol
adjustment, and he could hear and de
termine them and make a finding fol
the respective amounts due each. The
railroads could be compelled to rem
der a statement to this master of the
tickets sold at their different stations
in Missouri to other points in thii
state, and from this the master coult
find out how much more than the
cents per mile have been collected
and after all the claims are adjusted
the surplus would escheat to the stat
and the railroads would be compelled
to pay it into the escheat fund.

What is true of the 2-cent rate Law
is also true of the maximum freigh
rate law.
The state labor department has fig
ured that the money collected by tn
railroads in violation of these law
since they were enacted amounts t
more than SIT, 100000.

Nxe,s Humorous Commitment.

Bill Nye was once introduced to
Wagner, the composer. In Then and

American humorist, brilliant as the
best, whose comedy never fails to
charm, and whose tragic death l shall
never cease to mourn, told me that
whSn he met Wagner he said to him,
Your music is beyond my compre-
hension, but | always feel sure when
I hear 1t that it is really much better
than it sounds"

enough to tell me in what direction
you see that light?"
THE line of its direction, sir, is
about thirty feet to Che right of the

And when the lookout first sees the
light, instead of dropping the brusque
exclamation, Light, ho!" down on
the deck like an anarchists bomb,
why shouldn't he mellifuously ejacu-
late, Il beg your pardon, sir, but l
see a light"

ON THE GROUND.
The Would Be Judges Now at Boise
Many After the Job.

D. E. Hodge, former prosecuting at
torney of Nez Perez county, is in the
city in the interest Of the creation of
the new judicial district in his section
of the state. If the new district is
created, Mr.. Hodge will be candidate
for the appointment as judge, and is
understood to be in the city to pro-
mote his candidacy.
Mr.. Hodge will not have everything
his own way, however, in this matter.
T. H. Bartlett, register of the land of
flee for the Lewiston district, is also
in the city. He is candidate for this
position on the bench also, and is prose
cutting an active canvass for the office
in case the district is created.
There are two other candidates in
the field whose claims must be con-
sidered by Governor Haines before
making his final choice. Miles s.
johnson, the newly elected prosecuting
attorney for Nez Perez county, has his
lightning rod up and will make a hard
fight for the honor.
Idaho County Candidate.
But Nez Perez county has no mon.
opoly of the judicial candidates. A. s.
Hardy, of Grangeville, one of the lead
ing attorneys of Idaho county, is an
avowed candidate for the position and
will do all in his power to land on the
bench. Up to this time Lewis county
has pushed forward no candidate for
the position.
By the terms of the bill now under
consideration in the house of repre-
sentatives it is proposed to create a
new district out of Nez .Pecre, Lewis
and Idaho counties. This would mean
a division Of the Second judicial dis.
trict, now presided over by Judge Ed
gar G. Steele. It would still leave La
tab and Clearwater counties in the Sec
ond district.
1t is urged in favor of the creation
of the new district that there is now
altogether too much work for one Judge
to handle and that the best interests
of the people of the community demand
the division of the district

OVER SIX FEET OF SNOW.
Heaviest Snow Fall on Camas Prairie
In Years

Camas Prairie has been in the grip
of the storm king for the past seven
days and from past indications, we may
have several days more of it before the
trees begin to bud. Old timers say they
can not recall in years the great amount
of snowfall we have had and while
there has been an abundance of the
beautiful, the weather, with the excep-
tion of several days of billiards., has
not been bad. From Voluntary OBJ
server Norwood we learn that total of
seventy four inches of snow has fallen
since the first of the month, think of
it, over six feet. Not since 1894 have
we had a greater amount of snow, dur
ing January of that year a total of 81
inches was recorded but fortunately it
did not remain on the ground and cause
the trouble and Inconvenience we are
experiencing now.

REV. HAND SENTENCED.
Moscow Divine Must Serve From Five
Years to Life.

Rev. d. M. Hand, former pastor of
the First Baptist church, was SEN
fenced to serve from five years to life
in the Idaho state penitentiary for a
statutory offense against Hazel Bene-
dict, girl of his congregation and
daughter of the superintendent of the
Baptist Sunday school. The trial oc-
cupied the greater part of last week in
the district court and the passing Of
sentence by Judge Steele was arranged
SO that the public was not appraised of
the time. The defendant was ordered
brought into court and was accompan-
led by his father and his attorney,
Judge J. H. Forney. The state was
represented by County Attorney John
Nisbet, former County Attorney G. w.
Suppiger who conducted the Hand
prosecution, and Attorney William Nor
gan, who assisted Mr.. Suppiger in the
prosecution.
The statute provides an indetermin-
ate sentence of from five years to life
for the crime of which Hand was con-
victed but the formal passing of the
sentence was performed after Hand
had briefly addressed the court pro-
testing his innocence. He said he
hoped his friends would continue con-
fidence in him and believe in his in
nocence and that he expected to return
to Moscow and reside with them after
he is liberated from prison.
The former minister seemed little
disturbed when the words consigninQ
him to prison were pronounced by the
court.

States Money Has Wings.

Deducting the $30,476.10 from the
$4,000 appropriated, it is found that
there is $31, 1920 left. Members who
have been paying some attention to this
problem in finance have been able to
figure out but two channels through
which this $31 1920 could run away.
One of these'is in printing; the other is
in pay for the services of attaches of
the house and senate.
There is growing feeling that
there are too many on the payroll al.
ready, and still the pressure for places
is greater than ever before. The re-
formers who are anxious to fall in line
with the recommendations of the Cover.

Legislators are the proper ones to call a
halt. A move in this direction is pre-
dicted before the session in much older

EXPENSES OF LEGISLATURE
Boise Statesman Wants to Know Why
The Heavy Expense is
Necessary.
Who gets all the money!

This is one of the questions they are
asking the governmental circles these
days. 1t has reference to the money
appropriated to defray the expenses of
the session of the legislature.
The first bill to pass both houses and
received the signature of Governor
Haines was one appropriating $4,000
to meet the legislative expense bill.
This compared with 100000 appropriat-
ed in two bills at the last regular SEES
sion. The increase of $4,000 is not I'M
reasonable, considering that there is an
increase in the membership of both
house and senate.

Doings In Judge FOrds Court.

Aubrey Bourne who resides IN the
Western part of the county in what is
known as the "Cat hole" section,
swore out four warrants in the county
court last week, three against Mr..
John N. White and one against Mr..
w. L. Huffman, charging them with
various offenses against the peace and
quietude of that community, and with
threats of violence against the person
of Mr.. Bourne. Before Judge Ford on
last Saturday Mr.. White was arraigned
upon the charge of an assault upon the
person of Mr.. Bourne. He demanded
a jury, and the panel after hearing the
testimony, assessed fine against him
of $40. and the costs. Upon the other
charges, Mr.. White confessed to one
and The Court fined him $40. and costs
and dismissed the other warrant. Mr..
Huffman confessed to the charge
against him and drew from the court
the same fine as was given Mr.. White.
The warrants originated over an altera-
ton between White and Huffman upon
the one side and Bourne upon the other
and Bourne sought address at the
hands of the law.
