In further constituting the law,
the court took up several situations
that might arise and gave definite
rulings on them. That part Of the
opinion Is as follows:
Several questions are involved or
arise in the practical application Of
this law. and owing TO the numerous
officers who ARE vitally interested Ia
the construction 10 be placed upon
this act. we will suggest a few Of
those questions and the conclusions
of the court upon them.
First. Is the head Of one depart
ment Of the state. county or city
government liable II he appoints 70

prohibited degree to the head Of an
other department? The head q one
department Ia not liable under said
law for the appointments made BY

he Is not an associate In Office and
cannot, under the law. participate
In such appointment.
The next question Is. II an ap-
polntee of one department "a the

examiners or the board az county
commissioners or the city council,
can such board approve a claim for
such appolntee's salary without rend-
ering themselves liable under the
provisions Of the second section of
said actg"
Answering that question. the court
held that the examaninorA, commits.

STATE WILL HELP
BUILD HIGHWAY

When G. C. Gray returned from
Boise last week, he felt somewhat
doubtful as to whether or not the
present state highway commission In
tended to fulfil the promise of the
old commission in regard to the con-
struction Of the state highway thru
Bear Lake county especially as re-
CARDS TO the state putting up one
dollar for every two dollars put up
by this county. IN fact, Mr.. Gray
said that at the meetings of the
state commission, last week, they
would give him no definite state
ment as to what they intended to do.
but left the impression that owing
to the demard for state funds from
other counties It would be impossible
to supply this county with the amount
needed, Approximately $25.O 900.
However, since Mr.. Gray returned
from Boise the state commission
seems to have come to a definite
conclusion IN regard to the matter,
and one which insures that the neces-
sary financial aid will be forthcom-
ing from the state with which to
construct the road, practically as
outlined by the former commission.
J This bit Of good news came to Mr..
Gray last Monday 10 the form Of 8
letter from the secretary Of state
who Is ex-officio secretary of tbs
state highway commission. The letter
is as follows:
| Boise, May LIST, 1916

SUPREME COURT UPHOLDS
ANTI-NEPOTISM LAW
Degrees Of Kindred Defined According to Rules
of Civil Law Provisions Of the Law Made
PIain--IS Not Retroactive.

The anti-nepotism law passed by
the Thirteenth session Of the lcgis.
lature was held to be constitutional
in decision handed down last week
by the supreme court In the case Of
Louise NJ. Barton against the board
Of control OF the Soldiers home, The
court held that the trustees Of the
home would not violate the law by
retaining Miss Barton ~ matron. In
deciding the Barton case the court
also interpreted the law in many Of
It's details and laid down rules for
its application.
The suit brought by Miss Barton
was to prevent the board from re-
moving her as matron Of the home
on account Of the laws operation.
She had been notified by the board
that when the new law went into ef-
feet on May 8 her services would be-
dispensed with because her father.
Colonel Q. II. Barton. was command
ant. and the board understood that
the operation OF the anti,aepotism
bill would prevent hcr being employ
ga. since her father had been given
u position.
The supreme court held that the
phrase associates in office" as used
in the net, permitted Miss Barton 10
hold her position. but the court could
not see any merit 10 Miss Barton's
contention that the law was uncon-
stitutional because unreasonable and
uhenforcible.
The opinion gave the following In
terpretaon Of the term, Associates
in Office.
Associates In office are those
who are united In action; who have
a eommoH purpose; who share the
responslblllg or authority and among
whom Il reasonable equality; those
who are authorised by law to per-
form the duties jointly or as d badly
The court prescribed the civil Law
metod Of calculating genealogy un
der the law, instead Of the canon oi
common Law method. II thereby
considerably simplified the operation
of the statute and made II les
sweeping than Il would have been /
the common law method had beer
adopted.
While the law vas not retroactive
the court held that when It goes int
effect al officers or their employee
who were appointed under II will b

Under that ruling any nersons al
