they announced their policy on civil
service. though Governor Carlson out
lined his ideas of civil service which
may be taken as the general outline
of all of the heads of the departments.
His statement is to the effect that
civil service is not for the purpose of
retaining any person in position so
much as it is for the purpose of hay
ing a means through which incompe-
tent employees may be discharged.
Gov. Carlson has appealed to the civil
service commission and to the other
members of his administration to aid
him in working along this line. 1t is
safe to say that this will be the gen
eral policy of all the officials.
Ins IA legislative way the short ap-
preparation bill has been introduced,
and will become law by the end OF
the week. There are no radical
changes in this measure. The finance
committee announced that the gener-
al changes will be made in the long
appropriation which is always enacted
near the close of the session.
Governor Carlson and the members
of the finance committees have taken
the position that all lobbying by sta.c
employees, whether connected with the
educational institutions or with other
departments Of the state government,
must cease. In times past all state
institutions and nearly every depart
ment of the state government have
maintained lobbyists at the capitol
during the session of the legislature.
Governor Carlson takes the position
that these men are paid to do work
for the state and that they should re-
main at that work and not be sent to
the capitol. All state institutions and
all departments of state have been
asked to submit statement in writing
as to their needs and if anything
further is wanted in the way of IN
formation they will be sent for.
The usual number of bills are being
introduced but so far the administra-
ton measures have not been submit
ted They are still under the consid-
Grafton of special committees. Theso
committees are finding it more diff
cult than they had anticipated to de-
termine just how these administration
bills must be drawn. For instance,
the original measure that was intrn-
duced regarding workmen's compensa-
ton, had it been enacted as it was
drawn would have cost the
coal companies of the state 81 per
per cent of the present amount they
are paying for salaries to have kept
up the insurance on their employees
necessary to meet the requirements o:
the bill. However, the committees aie
still at work and hope sometime With
in the next ten days to produce
draft of the bill that will be satisiac-
tory to all.
The prohibition measures are also
causing some concern. They are
being drafted by committee of dis.
trict attorneys who are being assisted
by attorneys and friends of the Anti
Saloon League and the state admin
The efforts on these meas
ures are to keep them from being too
drastic.

hogs here neutrality-suspicious. as

The bunch consisted of 112 head

brought 81 cents a pound, or a
total check of $1601. 60. The
hogs were spring pigs raised by
Mr.. Schroeder and the results
obtained from their sale show
that Mr.. Schroeder will prove

Insurance Co. Shows
Good Record

The officers and directors of
the Farmers Mutual Fire Insur-
ance Company of Idaho county
met in this city last Saturday and
made out the annual report of the
company for the year 1914, which
shows up a very nice record for
the company. During the year
$600,0 600 of insurance was writ
ten on property valued at $780,
900. The money collected during
the year amounted to $2235. 50,
while the losses paid and other
expenses met amounted to only
$1619.45 leaving a balance on
hand of $616.24.
The losses paid this year were
the heaviest the company has
had to meet since its organiza.
ton and yet it can be readily
seen that the cost to the farmers
is exceptionally low. That the
company will grow stronger and
larger as time passes is certain,
