sure that you would not desire to en-
act any other Kind OF law.
Primary Election Law.

] think 1t hardly necessary TO say
much about primary election law be
cause believe that you will promptly
enact such law. | urged 1t in my
message two years ago and afterwards
convened the legislature in extraordi-
nary session for the purpose Of enact
ing such law and a corrupt practices
law. In my message to the eXtraordi-
nary session dealt at great length on
these two subjects and probably could
not give any stronger reasons for these
laws now than gave at that time, cx-
cept that the experience which W"
have all had within the last two years
convinced us, or should have con.
WINGED US, that the people Of this coun-
try are capable OF self.government,
that they not only can rule but that
they intend to rule and the sooner We
enact laws making it easy for them to
govern themselves the better it will be
for all concerned. Two years ago did
not advocate a presidential preference
primary law, but do not hesitate to
make such recommendation at this
time. think this primary election
law should provide for the nomination
OF all candidates OF all parties, includ.
ing candidates for United States sena-
tor and an expression Of preference
O! the voters for candidates for presi-
dent and vice president Of the United
States, on the same day, held by one
set OF election officials, and the resw
certified and returned just as the re.
suit is certified and return made in the
general election.
Corrupt Practices Law.
One of the things badly needed in
West Virginia IS 4 stringent corrupt
practices law. The Act OF 1908 is no:
satisfactory except to those who are
willing to take chances on the viola.
ton OF the law. think an act of this.
kind should provide that any voter
who sells his franchise should be de.
prived Of its use, five years for the
first offense and for life for the second
offense. And any candidate VINO Viz
lates the law should not only be pun.
ished by fine and imprisonment, but
he ought also to lose any nomination
thereby gained and he ought to be
made ineligible, at least for TIME, ~
be candidate for any office or to hold
any Office.
Agriculture and Good Roads.
suppose there has not been mes
sage sent to the legislature since the
formation of the State that did nOL
call attention to the importance OF ag.
riculture. And yet am afraid that az.
riCultural conditions in this State are
probably worse to-day. everything con.
sidered, than they were twenty years
ago Undoubtedly we have not kept
pace with other States OF equal posi-.
biities. The creation OF the office OF
Commissioner of Agriculture by the
last legislature was a step in the right
direction. He is given large powers.
1t will be his duty to look arter and
devise means OF advancing the agri-
cultural interests of the State and to
promote and encourage the organiza-
ton of societies and associations for
the purpose OF improving and develop
ing the agricultural, horticultural and
kindred interests. He is also charged
with the duty Of inducing capital and
immigration to come into this State.
The gentleman elected to that office

County Salary Law.

In my last biennial message recon.
mended county salary Inv, but at
that time the auditing department Of
the tax commissioner office had no.
sufficient information as 10 the amount
received by county cials to enable
the legislature to deal intelligently
with this question. Since that time
the State tax commissioner, who is en-
officio chief inspector and supervisor
of public Offices, has secured all the in
formation necessary. and recommends
the abolition OF the fee system and the
placing OF county officers, particularly
sherffs, clerks Of county and circuit
courts, and prosecuting attorneys on
an annual salary to be fixed by the
legislature with allowances for depu.
ties and clerical assistants. All fees
for services rendered by these officials
to be paid into the county treasures.
am sure you will be interested in
knowing what your county officials re-
ceIve for services rendered, and hope
you will take the time TO examine care
fully the report of the State tax COM
missioner. The statement OF amounts
paid to sheriffs does not include allow.
ances for keeping prisoners or as jail.
er or janitor, or the amount received
from individuals for serving summons,
executions. etc, but the table, as pre-
pared by him, is interesting indeed
Public Service Commission.
For several years the creation oil a

SIGN has been subject OF debate
among our people and believe til:
lime has come when very large per
cent. OF our citizens are in favor Of the
enactment of law that will create
such commission and provide speedy
and adequate relief to parties aggriev-
ed by the actions of these corporations
think such commission is in the in
lereSt OF the pubic service and also Of
the corporations charged with the duty
of performing that service. More than
forty States of the union have c2mmis-
sions of this kind. During my term
of office have talked with representa-
lives Of the public service corpora
tions OF this State and have found few,
ii any. who are opposed to proper

that an unusual number of people will

Members OF former legislatures know
that at each session the corporate in
aterests Of the State are represented
here by men who can not be said. to
have at heart the best interests OF the
State, but are here for the sole and
only purpose of trying to secure or de-
feat legislation in the interest of the
corporations they represent. And not
only go but thees lobbyists, for SUCH
they are, combine, and the represen
+ tatives OF all these interests unite to
I secure or defeat legislation that may
affect any one. of them. For instance:
,.If legislation is proposed that is OBJ
jectionable to the railroad interests OF
{. the State, YOU win find that represent
atiyes Of the liquor interests, the coal
interests, the telegraph and telephone
( interests, etc. ETC., will join the rep
resentatlyes Of the railroads to try to
defeat such legislation, and If any leg.
islation is proposed that would affect
the coal interests then all these other
interests will unite to assist those who
are here as the representatives of the
coal companies.
Workmen's Compensation Law
Nothing Is. of noncompliance to US
than that our people shall be happy
and contented; that hours of labor
shall not be too long; that wives and
children shall not be required to work
IN factories and mines, and that their
children, shall have opportunities for
education and a chance to become
good citizens. Practically every State
In the Union except ours has enacted
some kind OF legislation for the bene-
ct OF those who are injured in hazard.
Gus employments. New Jersey, Wis
consin, California, Washington, Neva-
daS Kansas, New Hampshire, Ohio, Tll-
J nois, massachusetts, Michigan and
Rhode Island have workmen's compen-
sation laws. OF the laws which have
been able to examine believe that OF
the state OF Washington is the best, 1t
is not what would be strictly called
Morkmen's compensation law but rath.

Gossip Of the Court House.

The report of George w. Stowel,
clerk of the district court and ex-offi-
clio auditor and recorder, made for the
third quarter, was filed with the board
OF county commissioners. The total

ter was $2642.lO The disbursements
amounted to $31703, leaving $232s.O7
to be paid over to the county treas
urer.

was approved by Judge Bryan Octo-
Der Is. The bond was in The United

as attorneys in fact.
Possession Of the banking house was
given Mr.. Smallwood on the approval
Of his bond by Judge Bryan.
A larceny case was tried before a
jury in the probate court Wednesday
against Martin Marshall on COM
plant of E. L. Baird of Sunny Slope

ing of two guns and quantity OF
clothing. He was acquitted on the
grounds that he was insane. rather

suited in his being committed to the
insane asylum. Sheriff Breshears left
Sunday for Blackfoot with Marshall
who had been a ward there before.
The case against Lennie CASTLE, a
IL year old boy from Nampa, was
dismissed on motion OF the county

THE WOLF IS COMING
WEDNESDAY, NOV. FIVE

Eugene Walters play "The Wolf
which comes to the Caldwell Opera
House on Wednesday. Nov. S, might
be called q poem play OF pictures. 1t
is very seldom that one sees a play
that grips the interest and piques the
curiosity with its first line. "The
Wolf" does that. The curtain rises
upon beautiful scene, it is Indian
summer in the Northern woods. Pines
and golden foliage mingle their light
and shade A stream winds down the
avenues OF cottonwoods in the back
Ground are the blue foot hills. To the
right is the log house of MacTavish,
with great tree in front of it. I'm
der the tree sits Ba'tiste, the Canuck,
pufhng at his pipe. In the porchway
is the gaunt form of MacTavish. he,
too, is smoking. The two men puff
in silence for moment, while the
auditor takes in the perfect coloring
perspective and grouping of the scene
Then MacTavish says you say she
died, mon."
This is one of Eugene Walters
strong points-begins his story with
the opening lines. He wastes no time
in unnecessary conversation, and he
sticks to the point from curtain to
curtain.
Another of these pretty picture eff
fccts is in act three. Two men are
squatting in the foreground Standing
is the tall, 1.-THE, graceful figure Of
Jules Beaubien. Kilda appears at the
top of the trail carrying the canoe
paddle. She stands there an instant
holding the paddle like spear, franz
ed in the dark pine and golden leaf
age color; with the sunset reddening
ominously about her. One almost ex-
poets to hear the wild cry of the Val
kyrie. A little later come the great
and intense scene of the play. which
is without doubt one of the most now
el and gripping scenes ever staged.
