trust was combination to restrict
trade, to limit production to prevent
competition, to fix any standard
whereby the price to the public or
the consumer might be controlled,
to take any step whereby prices might
be controlled, to enter into any Sc
cret or open agreement or pool of any
kind to withhold any commodity
from the market or to sell any COM
modify at a fixed price.
A fine of $500 and a prison term
of one year, or both, were the penal
ties fixed. Some of the provisions of
the bill were taken from the anti
trust law of Nebraska
This bill went through the senate
with whirl. 1t had the backing OF
Senator John W. Hart, and that gave
it prestige that could not be with
stood But then the storm broke.
Fruit Growers Awake.
Just about the time the bill got
through the senate the fruit growers
awoke to the fact that this bill, if IT
become law, would not permit all
innocent little organization for the
Standardization of fruit or the hold
ing of apples and prunes back until
the market price was suitable. 1t
would not permit a number of farm
ers to get together for the organiza-
ton of little creamery for the reg
ulation of cream and butter prices.
1t would not permit the livestock
men to organize for their mutual
benefit. In fact it is doubtful if it
would permit working men to organ
ize to regulate the price to be de-
manded for their work.
When all this and more dawned
upon the members of the lower
branch of the legislature, what the
representatives of the people did to
that antitrust bill was plenty. 1t was
discovered then that antitrust laws
should be so drawn as to wipe out
power monopolies, coal trusts, Stand
ard Oil combinations, steel trusts,
even money trusts, but that the right
of fruit growers, farmers and work
ingmen to organize was an interest
right that must not be touched by
the legislature.

sary to safeguard the public health,
and to prevent the spread of con-
tagious or infectious diseases.
Poison Laws Amended.
Because of the increase of deaths
from either accidental of suicidal
poisoning in the state during the last
two years, Commissioner Wallis has
had the poison law amended by in
Guiding many poisons which have
heretofore not been required to be
registered and sold by licensed phar-
macists, Hereafter none of the pol
sons mentioned in this new law can
be sold without there being affixed
to the bottle or box in which it is
contained label with the name of
the article and the word Poison"
distinctly shown and the name and
address of the seller, all printed in
red ink, with the name of two COM
mon .,ntidotes to be printed on the
label in case of any accident.

URGES FORMATION OF CLUBS IN
THE RURAL SCHOOLS.
Statesman,

Miss Shepherd, state school super
intendent, is convinced, even at this
early day that the formation of pota
to clubs, sewing clubs, bread baking
clubs and corn clubs among the
rural schools of the state is to play
an important part in the industrial
life of Idaho in the next few years.
Last year there was a total of 20
sewing clubs and 80 potato clubs Or
ganized. The best part of their
work was exhibited at the safe fair
last fall.
Up to this time this year there
have been 25 potato clubs, II sewing
clubs, bread baking clubs and 3
corn clubs organized. Applications
are coming in, in every mail so that
Miss Shepherd and others especially
interested in this line of special
school work are enthusiastic over the
outlook. Yesterday applications came
from Burley for the organization of
one each of all the four clubs.
Man Put i'm Field.
The contribution of $500 by Sen
ator Brady to this work has made
it possible to put man in the field
to look after the formation of these
clubs. This work has been placed in
the hands of ]. A. Hughes, formerly
of the University of Idaho, who is
now in the field working under the
supervision of Superintendent Shep-
herd.
Another step that has been taken
is the organization of second year
sewing clubs. The girls who partici-
pated in the sewing work last year
will be given higher grade of work
this year and this policy will be pur-
sued all the way through.
This work in Idaho is co-ordinated
with the work of the bureau of
plant industry, United States depart
ment of agriculture. The potato and
corn clubs are open to boys; the sew
ing and bread making clubs are open
to girls. All school boys and girls
between the ages of 10 years and 1S
who have no special teachers are eli
gible to membership in the clubs. No
club may be organized with fewer
than five members.
An instructive bulletin on bread
making and the rules governing the
contests is being mailed by Jessie M.
Hoover of the Idaho agricultural col
lege, Moscow, Idaho; and any other
desired may be obtained
from Miss Shepherd or Mr.. Hughes,
the supervisor of this work, Boise,
Idaho.

FARMERS FORM TRUST.

son was especially proud of one bill
he prepared for the legislature. This
was senate bill No. 1877, introduced
by Hart, by request. The attorney
general is still puzzled to know Just
what happened to that bill.
Along late in the session influen
tial men called upon him and urged
him to prepare an antitrust bill. The
people" were demanding legisla-
ton along this line, they said. They
demanded something that would
make it impossible to organize power
trusts, coal trusts, meat trusts and
other monopolies to grind the hearts
out Of the ultimate consumer.
Want a Bill With Teeth.

Influential men. Don't stop at snags
Put real teeth in It and plenty of
them. If the farmers, stockmen and
workingmen insist on law of this
kind they are entitled to it from the
So the attorney general set to
work. Taking for the basis of his
bill the seven anti-monopoly laws
enacted by the legislature of New
Jersey through the Influence of
Woodrow Wilson. "The Seven Sis
ters," Mr.. Peterson prepared a bill of
which he was Justly proud. It not
only made 1t possible to stamp out
trusts already organized in the state,
but 1t made It possible to nip mono
poles in their inception and stamp
the life out of them before they we're
fairly started.
Provisions of the Bill.

-FOUR AMENDMENTS TO CONSTI
TUITION.

Out of the 33 joint resolutions in
troduced during the recent session
of the legislature, proposing amend
ments to the state constitution, only
four received the required two-thirds
vote in both houses, and will be sub
mitted to the people at the next gen.
eral election, for adoption or rejec-
ton. They are as follows:
Senate joint resolution No. 4, by
Edgington, extending the term Of
state officers to four years.
Senate joint resolution No. S, by
Edgington providing that the secre-
tary Of state, auditor, state treasurer
attorney general and superintendent
of publuic instruction shall be APP
pointed by the governor.
House joint resolution No. 3, by
Koelsch, to increase the number of
supreme justices from three to Ave.
House joint resolution No. %, by
committee on education, providing
that the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction be relieved of mem
bership on the land board.
The proposed amendment to the
constitution Of the United States
providing for the direct election of
United State senators was ratified
by both houses of the legislature by
a unanimous vote. This amend
ment has been ratified by the legis-
latures of three fourths of the states
of the union, and hereafter senators
will be elected by popular vote, the
same as members of the lower house

SANITARY LAWS AMENDED AND
IMPROVED

Six measures affecting the work of
the state dairy, food and sanitary
Inspector are now laws of the state
Several of these are very important
especially the bill affecting weights
and measures. Mr. Wallis. who is
ex-officio sealer of weights and meas
ures, will under the terms of the bill
now have full jurisdiction over all
weights and measures, scales, beams,
and everything of like nature, and
will of course, do the work hereto
fore conferred on the grain commits
sion.
Establishes Standard BusheI.
Another important feature of the
bill is that it establishes standard
bushel for all products in the state
of Idaho. Heretofore there has been
no standard bushel for many articles
Hereafter berries and small fruits,
whenever sold in boxes, must be sold
in boxes containing a standard dry
quart or dry pint, and If the boxes
contain less than this amount, the
information must be given to the pur-
chaser, and such packages must be
labeled with statement of the net
contents. This will create quite a
reformation in the retailing of small
fruits, and one which has been long
demanded. The false bottom box
will now be thing of the past, and
dealers will be expected to give the
public full measure. All lard, lard
compaund or lard substitute, offered
or exposed for sale must hereafter
have the net weight plainly stamped
on the label, in letters not less than
a quarter of an inch high, and 1t will
be up to the purchaser to see that
the label gives this information.
Bread by Weight.
Bread will also be sold by
weight. This bill provides that a |
whole loaf of bread shall be not less
than 16 ounces, "a hours after bak-
ing, and when sold shall upon re-
quest Of the buyer, be weighed in his
presence, and if found deficient in
weight, additional bread must be
delivered to make UP. the legal weight
OF course this will not apply, to rolls |
or fancy bread weighing less than
one-quarter Of pound. Every loaf
of bread which does not weigh the
full weight shall be plainly labeled
with. the exact weight. 1t will not be
necessary to put the weight of but
ter on the wrapper hereafter, as has
been the case, because under the |
provisions of the new law, a print or
package of butter must contain 16
ounces. If 1t contains less. then the
net weight must be disclosed by the
seller to the buyer by statement
being distinctly printed on the
wrapper.
Barber Shop Inspection.
Another important measure is the
barber shop inspection law. Under
the term of this bill the state sani-
tary Inspector is to have the super
vision of all barber shops, hair
dressing parlors, public bath houses,
public bath rooms and public bath
ing places, and is directed and en-
to inspect or cause to be in
spected such places and to make
rules and regulations as are neces-

HARD BLOW TO LIQUOR INTER-
ESTS.
Capital News,

The liquor interests have received
some very severe blows recently, the
greatest being the enactment of the
Webb bill by the action of both
houses in congress in passing the
measure over the veto of the presi-
dent 1t shows marvellous growth
in the temperature movement in the
nation which would cause the nation
al legislature to vote so nearly un-
animous upon measure of this kind
That vote was twice expressed, once
before it was sent to the president
and again when it was passed over
the veto of the chief executive.
Another blow has been struck
these interests through the deter
miGation of President and Mrs. Will
son and of Vice President and Mrs.
Marshall that no wines shall be SER
we'd at any of the numerous state
functions during their incumbency
This movement also has the support
and encouragement of Secretary of
State and Mrs. Bryan who will re-
fuse to serve wines or liquors at any
of their receptions or social func-
tons
While the enactment of the Webb
law delivers direct blow at the Ii
quor business by making it impos-
sible to ship into local state territory
that has been declared dry" the an
nouncement that liquor shall be tab
coed by the national administration
serves but to increase the already
growing sentiment of opposition to
the traffic. That it will greatly add
to the popular antagonism to that
business none can we'll deny, for the
influence of the presidential family
upon the. social customs, not alone
at the capital, but everywhere in the
nation, is tremendous.
The liquor traffic has always been
one of the special interests with
which both political parties were al
lied through the leadership of those
PARTIES and it has always been one
OF those special interests willing to
combine with the other special in.
terests to protect them in return for
protection to itself; it has always
adopted the policy made so promin-
ent from another source in the re-
cent legislative session, to trade
everything for it," and it has al
ways been unwilling to acquisce in
restrictive laws enacted because of
popular demand until forced to dol
So
This has not been true with all en-
gagged in the business, but unfortun-
ately for the business as a whole
there have been those who, because
OF consuming greed and because of
desire for personal advancement and
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT have forced the
business into this antagonistic atti-
tude. These men have been So per-
sistent in their efforts to make it ap-
pear that they were the only duly
accredited representatives of the in
dustry, that they have forced those
who would really and truly restrict
the business while allowing it to con-
tinue, into an unwilling attitude of
opposition.
If it has suited thir purpose thus
to misunderstood and to miscon-
strue the efforts of restrictionists as
from prohibitionists,
they should not now complain at the
tremendous growth of the prohibit
ion sentiment, which is the natural
result of the unwillingness of these
few to submit to pro
per restraint.
