WORK Of THE TWELF TIL LEGISLATURE

When the laws enacted at the late
session Of the legislature are printed
and available for public inspection, it
will be found that the legislature passed
man good law and few poor ones.
A number were passed which were
more or less unnecessary, but they
are not otherwise subject to objection.
OF the laws enacted the following
were promised by the Republican state
platform and recommended by Gov.
Haines in his message.
1. Ratification Of proposed amend
ments to the constitution of the United
States in matters of direct election Of
senators.
2. A state board'of control for edu-
cational institutions.
3. Amendments to direct primary
law.
4. Law reinforcing local option law.
5. Revision of revenue laws.
6. A state highway commission and
bond issue for highway purposes.
The following were recommended
by Gov. Haines but not contained in
platform promises:
l Reorganization of state depart
ments, the state board Of examiners
was reorganized, and new system Of
accounting installed, and the state
auditor was made ox-officiO state ex
aminer.
2. Laws relating to water commits
sioners. Expenses Of this office will
be reduced by at least half.
3. Proposed amendment to consti
tuition extending term Of office OF state
officers to four years.
4. Provision for non-partisan elec-
ton Of judges.
S. Enactment Of "Blue Sky" law.
6. Provision for a tax and public
utilities commission.
Z. Adjustment of certain specia
funds.
s. Repeating law fcrbidding owner
ship of land by aliens.
9. Provision for payment OF silver
service for battleship idaho"
10. Provision for tablet in Washing
ton monument.
II. Provision for representation a

bond issues approved by the governor,
and these disapproved by him, all parts
OF the state were treaten with absolute
fairness and total absence of discrim-
ination.
With reference to bond issues which
failed to pass the legislature, no Sec
ton OF the state has just cause of COM
plant for the reason that all were ac-
corded the same treatment. These
bond issues pertained to our education
al institutions, and it should be appar-
ent to all that since we are providing
for state board of control the wise
thing was to refrain from making the
improvements asked for until their me-
cessity and advisability had been
passed upon by this board. It would
have been supremely foolish to provide
for the erection AT many buildings
which better system of management
and control might demonstrate to be
wholly unnecessary.
Another matter in which all sections
OF the state received the same is that Of
the creation Of new judicial districts.
A bill passed the legislature providing
for a new district to be composed Of
Latah and Clearwater counties, another
for district to be composed of Adams
and Washington counties, and third
provided for an additional Judge in the
fifth judicial district. All three bills
were vetoed by Governor Haines.
Was the 18th legislature extravagant
or economical?
The answer is found in the statement
that it decreased the cost of state gov
ernment, as heretofore conducted, in
sum OF $1O3, 357,3O.
The following tables carefully COM
piled show in parallel columns the ap-
preparations of the Eleventh legislature
and those of the Twelfth. It should be
read by every taxpayer Of the state for
, it shows just how the legislature ex-
} pended the public money, and that it
paid attention tothe governors plea
, for economy.
, No account is taken Of the appropria-

J public utilities and tax commission for
the reason that these are new features
t and it is impossible to determine just
how much of these will be met by rev.
l enues produced and how much will
, have to be raised by taxation. Many
| Of the friends Of the commission claim
: that it win more than pay its way. But
! even il the expenses OF this important
commission, for which $50, 900 were ap-
propriated, had been included in the
n cost of state government as given in
0 table below, it would still appear that
0 the Twelfth legislature reduced the
0 cost Of state government by $23, 357 80.

The last named bond issue is placed

From the foregoing it will be seen
that as far as local benefits are con-
cerned, the north derives more from
the issues than any other part of the
state, and almost as much as all other
parts together even il we regard the
Boise Yellowstone bond issue as GER
tain to be made and its use as of mere

Searching for Hidden VIII.

The romantic story OF hidden Will
is arousing keen interest in the neigh
borhood Of Bradley Fold. little vii
lage three miles from Bolton. Lanca-
shire. England. Search for the mis-
sing document is being made by .
woman from Gunnersbury, London.
She believes that II she succeeds in
her quest, she will become entitled to
valuable estate. Tho search was
prompted originally by statements
made by a medium at a spiritualistic
seance. The will is supposed to BE-
concealed In a wall sunk in shed
which has been bricked up for many
years. It formed q cellar to an old
house. The London searcher's ances.
tor, John Bradley. who married his
housekeeper. was known to possess
great wealth. No will could be found
after his death.

New York.-The island Of Cyprus
In the eastern Mediterranean cele-
brated it's thirty-fifth anniversary az q
British possession the other day, and
this fact proves all the more interest
ing because Turkey formally handed
over the island to Great Britain only
a few days ago. The island has been
practically British territory since the
famous Berlin conference Of 1878, but
the sultan was supposed to exercise
a suzerainty there. This action ON
the part of the Turkish government
makes possession absolute.
The annexation Of Cyprus by Great
Britain in 1873 caused q great stir
throughout Europe. particularly In
France, where 1t was thought that
England was outwardly supporting
Turkey against Russia. This acQuisi-
ton of q parcel Of very rich territory
in the eastern Mediterranean was due
to the cleverness Of Disraeli, WHO has
kept Europe in q general feverfH ex-
element by his diplomats moves. u
was not the first occupation Of the
island by the British, for as early az
1899 Richard the Lion Hearted on his
way to the third crusade took the
island from one Isaac Comenus. He
later sold it to Guy de Lusignan, ex-
king of Jerusalem, and 1t was not I'm.
til seven centuries later that the 10.
land again came into possession Of
Great Britain under so-called lease.
The first view Of Cyprus from the
steamer ia not an attractive one. The
island seems barren; but as the vist.
tor draws nearer he is able to distin.
guish the splendid old Venetian forti:
f1cations of Famagusta, which are one
of the glories Of the island. They are
in splendid preservation despite the
fact that in 1871 they were besieged

Nearly everybody believes that Ben
jamin Franklin was the inventor and
constructor of the first lightning rod.
In this particular they are mistaken.

the palace of the curator of Preditz,
Moravia. June Is. 1854. The apparatus
was composed of q pole surmounted
By an iron rod, supporting IL curved
branches and terminating in as many
metallic boxes filed with iron ore.
The entire system Of wires was uni

enemies Of the inventor. Jealous Of his
success. excited the peasants Of the 10
cality against him and under the pre-
text that his lightning rod was the
cause Of the excessive dry weather
had the rod taken down and the -
ventor imprisoned.

But they paused yet a moment,
stopping as If by common instinct to
look at the white cross. Susan Stod-
dard gazed down on 1t with a grief in
her eyes that was the more heart
breaking because 1t was inarticulate.
Agatha remembered the doctors
words, and understood something Of
the friction that could exist between
this evangelistic sister and the finer.

Agatha laid her arm about the older

helped her in, and Agatha leaned
back, with closed eyes, Indifferent to
the beauty of early afternoon on q
cool summers day. Little Simon let
her ride III quiet, but landed her in the
dust on the opposite side of the roi,d
