for the completion of the capitol.
That was definitely decided this
morning when the house voted to
indefinitely postpone the bill pro-
posing an issue of $75O,OOO bonds
to pay for wings to the building.
The bill was ON third reading
and the clerk had hardly finished
reading it when Johnston Of Bing-
nam moved that further consider
stion of it be indefinitely post
poned. The motion received half
! dozen seconds.
Storey of Ada made 9 pathetic
effort to prolong the life of the
bill. He moved as a substitute
that the bill be referred to the
appropriations committee. The mo-
ton was lost by reclamation. The
vote was so decisive that no divi-
sion was called for and then
Johnston s motion to postpone was
carried, also by reclamation and
by Just as lusty a chorus.
Lewiston Jared just as badly
as did Boise. Two Of the northern
city's pet measures were slaught-
cred. One was an appropriation
for $4,000 for the celebration of
the completion of the Cello canal
in 1915 and the other bond is
sue for $25, 900 for the Northwest
ern Livestock show. The Cello
celebration bill was considered
first, and Finke of Nez Perce told
the house the people of Lewiston
werv willing to sacrifice it. He
expressed the hope, however, that
Lewiston would not be compelled
to sacrifice everything. The Cell
10 measure was sent over the In
definite postponement route, and
when the livestock show bill was
reached the house offered it upon
the same altar. Connor of Bonner
gave notice that he will tomorrow
move for a reconsideration of the
vote on the latter bill.
The house received a message
from the governor telling it tt
get busy and advising the ap
pointment of joint steering ant
sitting committee and as resul
several comparatively minor meas
ures were passed in quick time a
the morning session.
In his message the governo
called attention to the fact tina
with only II days of the session
lef-, the legislature still had som
four hundred bills and resolution
to consider, which meant that !
the various measures were to b
considered at all upwards OF twent
must be disposed of each day. In
governor therefore urged tn
house to first consider the bill
that are of the most importance
In that category he included tn
general appropriation, public u1i
tiles, tax commission, revenu
workmen's s compensation, amen'
ments to the direct primary la
and bills that have to do with q
partments and institutions.
To expedite the business of co
sidering these measures, the go
ernor suggested the appolntmel
of joint sitting and steeril
committee which should be el
powered to select those measur
and have them placed at the ne'
of the calendar in each house al

affairs with instructions to repc
as soon as possible.
