THREE AMENDMENTS TO
CONSTITUTION WILL
Be SUBMITTED

Secretary of State w. L. Clifford is
preparing to certify down to the au-
ditors of the state, the three constitu-
tional amendments that are to be
voted upon at the next general cleo
ton, all of which are important and
two of which at least, it is elaine d
will receive serious opposition. Briefly
stated these three amendments pro-
vide, for extending of the terms of
elective state officials from two TO
four years, to increase the supreme
court membership from three to FIVE
members and to remove the state sup
erintendent of public instruction as a
member of the state land board.
The elective state officials are gov
ernor, ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, secretary
OF state, state auditor, state treasurer,
attorney general and superintendent
of public instruction. The constitu-
tional amendment proposed and to be
voted upon seeks to amend section
OF article of the constitution sub
hitting this question to electors:
Shall section !, article of the con-
stitution of the state Of Idaho be so
amended as to provide that the terms
OF office of all officers of the execu-
tive department shall be four years
from the first Monday in January next
after their election"
Section 7, article 9 of the constitu-
ton is proposed to be amended re-
moving the state superintendent of
public instruction as member of the
land board. This board is now COM
posed of the governor, secretary of
state, attorney general, state auditor
and the state superintendent.
The question to be submitted to the
electors is:
Shall section 7, article 9, of the
constitution of the state of Idaho, be
so amended as to remove the super
intendent of public instruction from
membership on the state board of
land commissioners"
Self-Executing Amendment.
Section 6, article S, OF the constitu-
ton, is proposed for amendment to
increase the membership of the SUI
preme bench. This amendment is
self-executing and Immediately after
canvassing the returns and certi6ca-
ton of the result of the election upon
this amendment the governor is en-
powered to appoint two justices of
the supreme court to hold Office until
the general election Of 1916 and until
their successors are elected and quail
he'd. The question to be submitted
to the voters for this proposed am
endment is
Shall section 6, article S, of the
constitution of Idaho, be amended so
as to increase the supreme court to
FIVE justices in place of three?"
That there will be considerable op-
position to the amendment to in
crease the term of elective officers
from two to four years and the mem
bership Of the supreme court from 8
to justices, is generally conceded.

JUDGE BRYAN'S RULING
UPHELD BY SUPREME COUE

A case of unusual interest and Bit
terness now being contested in the
District Court is that of Coughanour
VS.. the City of Payette. The City of
Payette has laid out an Improvement
District and has ordered sidewalks
and curbing costing about $4Q00000
to be laid within the district. Mr..
Coughanour, taxpayer within the
district, objects to resulting taxes to
be paid by him, and some weeks ago
hled an injunction suit against the city
to restrain 1t from proceeding, on the
grounds that the ordinances creating
the Improvement district were not
properly drawn, Judge Bryan dis
solved this injunction, and Coughan-
our appealed to the Supreme Court,
and the Supreme Court has handed
down decision affirming the ruling
OF Judge Bryan.
Not deferred by this action OF the
Supreme Court, Coughanour again
applied for an injunction on the
grounds that the contracts were sec
reilly let by the council and were not
let to the lowest bidder. Judge Bryan
last Wednesday handed down a deci-
sion in favor Of the city, refusing
temporary injunction. 1t is under
stood that from this ruling of Judge
Bryan, Mr.. Coughanour will appeal.
In all the above proceedings Mr..
Coughanour has been represented by
Attorney John H. Norris of Payette,
and the City by City Attorney Bowen,
and by Scatterday & Van Duyn of
Caldwell,

CHARLOTTE BERGH GIVES
VERY PLEASING RECITAL

Tuesday evening Miss Charlotte
,Bergh gave a very pleasing recital at
the Methodist Church in this city.
Miss Bergh was assisted by Prof.
F, F, Beale on the piano and her pro-
gram was exceedingly we'll arranged.
Her voice is described as a Colora-
ture Soprano-with good reason; it is
clear and of sweet quality, pitched
unusually high and coupled with the
,winsome prettiness of the singer, is
very apt to prove popular with any
audience.
Miss Bergh will not be on the ly-
ceum platform this winter, but will
pursue musical studies in Chicago.

LOCAL MILITIA COMPANY
TO HAVE SHAM BATTLE

sham battle Sunday. Lieut.. Church
with half the company will occupy
Canyon Hill and Lieut.. Lesser and
Sergt Muter, with the remainder of
the company, will attack and endea-
vor to GUST them from their position,
The exact position Of the troops on
the hill is not to be known and in the
absence of aeroplanes will prove to
be somewhat of problem to the at
lacking force. 1t is agreed that they
will not invest the big tank or the
cemetery. SO the attacking force will
have a fair chance at them.

GOVERNOR HAINES WILL
CARRY NORTH IDAHO
ALMOST SOLIDLY

Occur d'Alene, August 10, l9l4-
With the state primary only two
With the state primary only two
weeks off, activity on the part of the
state and county candidates increases.
In this county where there are num-
erous candidates for each of the sew
eral offices, house to house campaign
is being waged, which insures an I'M
precedented primary vote. Friends of
each of the senatorial candidates are
especially active in behalf of their
favorite. In the gubernatorial con-
test, Governor Haines is unmistak-
ably in the lead, there being but little
opposition to him in this county.
The entire Republican press of the
county, the county organizations and
Republicans in all parts of the county
are zealously supporting the present
governor
Commenting upon the political sit
uation in North Idaho, today, F. R.
Whitla of this city chairman of the
Republican Central committee Of
Kootenai county, said:
There is no question but what
Governor Haines will get almost
unanimous vote for denomination
from North Idaho. The people Of
Kootenai county feel that Governor
Haines has made good in every sense
of the word and that he is entitled to
denomination and there is no opposi-
ton to him in North Idaho.
"In Kootenai county all of the
newspapers have voluntarily endor-
sed the Governor for denomination
and although some of them are run
ming paid advertisements for the OPP
posing candidates they are still sup
porting the Governor for renomina
ton and urging the fact that he has
made good and has conducted the ad-
ministration in a businesslike and
economic manner
THE last few days | have talked
with a number of business men from
Bonner county and they inform me
that Governor Haines is very strong
there and will also receive a very
handsome majority in that county,
In fact, can say for North Idaho
that it is but a question of what ma
jority the Governor will receive, and
in my opinion the majority here will
be so large that the opposition will
scarcely be noticed. The outlook for
a Republican victory in Kootenai
county was never better than is at
the present time, and believe that in
the coming election Kootenai will be
one Of the leading counties in the
entire state in the Republican major
ity"
