SPEAKER A. H. CONNER
|. ON GOVERNOR VETOES
KILLS COMPENSATION ACT UPON
SUPERFICIAL INVESTIGATION
DEMAND FOR LAW.

Before leaving Boise Speaker Con-
ner expressed himself freely upon the
action Of Governor Alexander in We
toing the workmen's compensation
act, which was the product of COM
mission appointed for the purpose by
the last administration, and also the
wholesale slaughter of bills passed by
the legislature through the veto pow
err. Mr.. Conner said:
"Of course l am very much disap-
pointed" said the speaker. THE COM
pensation bill was the one great piece
of constructive legislation passed by
the thirteenth session. Into it had
gone the serious study of men who
had made close and painstaking in
vestigation of industrial conditions in
Idaho. There is a general demand for
relief from the present conditions.
None of those who had to do with the
drafting OF the compensation bill re-
ceived any remuneration for their ef
forts, it being entirely a labor of love,
and it makes one heartsick that with
only a few days consideration one man
could blindly brush aside the sincere
and earnest efforts of years. 1t is not
a political question and never should
be. but there is a real crying need in
the state for compensation legislation
which ! am satisfied would have been
met had the governor seen fit to sign
the bill. 1t may be that never again
will the employers and employees of
the state be so generally satisfied or
$50 generally united upon a plan of
compensation as they were in this in
stance
Taxpayers Lose Through Veto.
"The taxpayers of the state will not
gain by the veto, for either directly
through the saving of the cost of per-
sonal injury litigation, or indirectly,
through the greater contentment Of
the industrial workers of the state and
the decreased necessity for county
aid, the general taxpayer would have
gained more than he would have lost.
In fact, the only gamer through the
veto will be the personal injury law
yer whose vocation would have been
taken away with the approval Of the
bill and some of the employers who
had rather continue under the pres
ent chaotic system, than operate un-
der a bill which will make for stabil-
|ity.
PERSONALLY, my interest in the
Question has not ceased merely be-
cause the governor has ignorantly in
terposed his veto. The principle of
workmen's compensation is bound to
be put into effect in Idaho.
Il had hoped it would be this year
but now 1t will be at least two years
tcfore we can settle this great prob

man and to the employer, but it re-
mains to be seen how workingmen
will consider it. Corners position as
wet is expected, of course, to both
win him and lose him friends.
Peter johnson Is Also Ambitious.
Conner defeated Peter johnson for
the position of speaker of the house
and now 1t remains to be seen whether
he can defeat him for the republican
nomination for congress at the next
election. Mr.. Johnson has been the
floor leader for the republicans in the
house and he has done his work with
ability, 1t is supposed he wishes to
take Mr.. McCrackens place in con-
gress two years hence He is a Nor
mon and he votes dry.
John Hart for Governor.
state Senator John Hart is one Of
the southern Idaho men talked of for
governor. For several sessions he has
proved himself an able leader He is
Mormon which would bring him
Mormon votes and lose him Gentle
votes, but in what ratio he has not
decided.
Herman Taylor Also for Governor.
From the same county with Mr..
Conner comes Herman Taylor, lieu-
/ tenant governor His friends call him
Governor Taylor and it is understood
/ he aspires to a place where he can
leave off the word lieutenant from
his title He is a good vote getter,
capable politician and in the last two
years has acquired a wide state ac-
quaintance."

DAVID AND GOLIATH.
How Billy Sunday Describes the Fa.
nous Encounter

In recent sermon Billy Sunday de-
scribed the victory of David over the
giant Goliath in the following charac-
teristic language:
when David was little guy, long
before they stuck the title of king be-
fore his monicker, he went out with
the army and, seeing a big lobster,
belonging to the army of the enemy
standing out in the middle of the
limelight and challenging David's
bunch, David said to the fellows with
him: Say. who is that big stif?'
oh, he's the whole cheese, the
main works. He's the big noise
around here
Huh Dave said, can lick him
to fragile And David didn't get
cold feet. Not a bit of it. He went
to the brook and got five smooth
stones, which he put in the sack he
used to carry his lunch in when he
went into the mountains to tend his
sheep Then Saul placed a suit Of ar
NOR on him, but David didn't like It,
! 1t made him feel too much like kid
in suit of his dads hand-me- downs
SO he shed Saus scenery and pro-
lceeded toward where Goliath was
standing
well, sir, David took his sling and,
placing a stone in it, let fly at that
big lobster, and hit him on the coco
between the lamps. Goliath went to
the mat and took the count and the
rest of the gang beat it."

POSSIBLE CANDIDATES

LEGISLATURE PROVED FERTILE
FIELD FOR NURSING Po-
LITICAL AMBITIONS.

The Boise correspondent of the
Lewiston Tribune comments on those
who have been conspicuous in the SEES
sion of the Legislature just closed,
having in view their ambitions and
he effect the records they have made
will have upon the voters of the state.
His comments are at least interesting
and entertaining and here given as
far as they apply to north Idaho men
and some of the more prominent ones
in the south:
Capable men have sat in both
houses of the legislature this winter
and Idaho is the better for it. The
rank and file have been honorable and
of good intent as the leaders also seem
to be, and the voters in next years
primaries will find among some Of the
lbler members of the thirteenth ses-
sion timber worth considering for 9TH
n positions. Not all who have been
conspicuous, however, will find then
orllliancy of sufficient stability to last

lndiscriminate interference.

Il would just like 10 say this about
the general question of the use of the
veto power The right TO veto acts OF
legislature is a power reserved TO
the executive and except in rare in
stances, has been used only in extra 70
ordinary cases. The general and in
discriminative use Of the right to We
to has never been approved by the
people, nor will it be. The members
of a legislature come directly from
their constituents They know more
nearly what their constituents want
and need than can any executive The
legislature is the melting pot Of ideas
and, while mistakes will undOubtedly
be made, those mistakes can never b,
so numerous as the mistakes which
will be made by an executive who, by
the general use of his Veto assumes
unto himself the prerogatiye of a leg
islator.
The indiseriminate use of the veto
by the governor reminds me Of tn,
small boy who receives a toy hatche'
for a present. / have never known &
boy under such circumstances who
would not chop and hack everythinf
from the piano legs to the kitchen
sink, and thus the indulgent paren
would pay for his folly in placing :
destructive toy in the hands of a chilC
who has not yet reached the age o
discretion. | can not help but thinl
that the governor has not reached thu
age of legislative discretion.
/ He vetoed TIE uniform laws on th'
theory that they had not been sutll-
GENTLY considered. These laws wer'
the product of the best legal minds o.
the United States and were fatheret
by the American Bar association, ans
were aimed to make the laws of al
the states uniform so that bushes.

business is nowaday--might meet tn.

have had one of these uniform laws II

years-the negotiable instrument law
and the ones just vetoed were of a
very similar nature.
Damage to an Industry.
He vetoed a little bill which would

$4,000 to $4,000 per year AS 1t is
if the industry does not entirely dis
appear, it will anguish to a point
where it will require many years t.
build it up again.

DOUGLAS MAN MAY BE VICTIM
 OF KIDNAPPERS
(From Juneau Empire)


 DOUGLAS, Nov. IA deep mys- tery surrounds the disappearance of William Christie, an amalgamator in the "700" mill, who has not been seen on the Island since Saturday afternoon, although friends and relatives have been searching for him over for 36 hours.
 Christie, who was on the o'clock shift at the mil, was called on at 3:30 by man who represented him. self to be deputy marshal, and who said his name was Miller. In ask ing for Christie he said he had subpoena and that Christie was re- quired on a case in Juneau immed- lately. Christie asked him what the case was but Miller said all he knew was that he (Christie) was wanted as witness. The subpoena was served and according to Nick King, foreman of the mill, Christie sign ed the paper. King states that there was about threes inches of blank space between the body of the sub poena and the place where Christie signed. Christie stated that he would be back in about an hour and half and asked King to get some one in his place during that time. Miller then told Christie that he had a boat of his own waiting at the dock and that they would go to Juneau in that boat instead of wait ing for the ferry. Christie was seen shortly after that in company with Miller near the Treadwell post of- flee but has not been seen since
 Telegrams have been sent to Wrangell and Ketchikan to make in- quiries on the Al-Ki at both places for the missing man.

A STARTLING POLICY
From Leslie's Weekly

l
 The testimony of the I. w. w. witnesses at the hearing of the h. dustrial Relations Commission, if it had no other virtue, had that of brutal frankness. Adolph Lessig, l. w. W. organizer in the Patterson, N. J., silk strike told the Commits sioners that his organization be- lieved in direct action, the calling of strikes without notice, and the crippling or destruction of an em- ployer's plant. "We make poor goods," said Lessig, land destroy goods in the making when we have grievance. We admitted that all during the strike. We have carried the practice on since the strike end ed" Asked if the I. w. w. would blow up a mill in the course of strike, Lessig replied, "We might hesitate at first, but if we saw it would help us, we would do it."
 As an example of the I. w. W. practice he cited how the employees in the silk mill operated by Henry J. Doherty, Jr., had been called out on strike before MT. Doherty had any chance to hear or adjust their grievances. Mir. Doherty testified at the same hearing that both he and his father were ardent believers in trade unionism, his father having worked his way up from being silk weaver at $15 a week, and that in order to settle the strike they would have been willing to go so far as to turn the mill over to the men to be run comparatively, the pro- pietors to receive merely 5 per cent interest on their investment in the property. With employers showing such a spirit the l. w. w. neverthe- less called a strike, and Mir. Doherty testified before the Commission that he had never been able to find out why his men walked out.
 To the credit of the American Federation of Labor it was brought out in the testimony of Thomas F. Morgan, second vice-president of the United Textile Workers, that the Federation had no sympathy with the methods used in Paterson by the | I. w. w. The silk strike would have been settled in month, he declared, if it had not been for the invasion of the field by revolu- tionary agitators. The revolutionary agitator from the outside has un- invited, forced his way in, and in jected a lawless element into every disastrous strike of the last few years. The American Federation of Labor should take every possible opportunity as it did in this instance, to repudiate such methods, and to prove that direct action and sabotage are not part of the program of trade unionism.
