A Business
Administration
Our New Governor Starts Out
Well on Fulfilling His Pre-
Election Promises.

We were told before election what
a great business administration we
would have under Governor Haines,
and almost his first official act
shows that he j. out for the bust
ness. He was asked to withhold |
his signature to the Gooding divls-
ION bill until the school section
could be explained to him, and he
gave our people the assurance that
he would do 50, but hardly had the
telephone stopped ringing in his
ear when the bill was laid before
him and he attached his signature
to it. Thi, Of course was business.
Hardly had the ink become dry
when he drafted Il message to the
. legislature telling them that he had
signed the bill under protest and
/ warning them to 60 slow on county
10 division bills, a he was opposed to
d small counties. Shame on COVER

to carry ont his convictions regard

Is and shame ON such a business adj

Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1913-02-06

The Idaho Legislature l. now very
busy introducing bills which the
majority believe will work favorable
to the Republican party now IN
power. The bill to amend tine
present primary law is an illuSira'
ton of this class of legislation. 1t
would be well for the majority III
the legislature to remember tha'
there is always an election to he
held in november following each
primary election. Any legislative
body which attempts to steal sover
eign powers from the people in thes'
progressive times must he made o
better material than the Idaho leg
islature, or they will drag the part,
which put them in power down t
defeat at the next election.

persons in California the hope that the
projected legislation will not be permit
ted to take a form that would justify
the Japanese government asserting
that it constituted a breach of the
treaty obligations of the United States.
The purpose of todays conferences. 1t
is understood, was to ascertain whether
the Senate bill as amended is still OBJ
jectionable to Japan, and If so, in what
respect. t
The ambassador is said to have indi-
Gated that further changes must be
mace in the bill before it can be said to
be acceptable to Japan, and that these
changes must take the form OF amend
ments to place all aliens on even terms.
The japanese government contends the
bill IN its present state does not do
this, in spite of the assertions of the
promoters Of the measure in the CAL
ifornia Senate that the discrimination
contained in the first bill has been re-
moved.
1t was pointed out. today, that as 1t
stands the bill would permit the sub
Ject Of European state to acquire

Of declaring his purpose to be come a

japanese cannot acquire citizenship. 1t
is admitted that it would be difficult
to amend the measure to meet this OBJ
lection, without developing strenuous
opposition from the large European
colonies in California.

Mrs. Scott declared these reports had
been circulated by the faction of the So

ministration of the soeiety's affairs.
There may be reasons" said Mrs.
Scott, why you may prefer a change
in administration of your affairs. But
the intimation that such change is
necessary in order that money contri-
buted to the payment of the debt on
Memorial Continental hall may be spe-
cifically applied to the payment of that
