BIG SUM
Governor Alexander had Eye
on Passes When Vetoing
Appropriations.


state Of Idaho is permitted to make APP
plication through the public utilities
commission and to receive free trans
portation on any railroad operating in
the state, this transportation to be
used by the official while in the dis
charge of his or her duties. 1t is nee
essary that the public utilities commits
sion shall certify to the company of
whom the request for transportation
is made. that the duties of the official
applying require him or her to travel
between stations on the company's
lines land that the issuance of said
free ticket or transportation will re-
suit In a saving to the state or county
sufficient to justify the issuance Of said
certificate
Anticipated Saving.
In cutting down the appropriation
for a number of departments, the gov
ernor specifically referred to the saw
ing to those departments that would
result through the securing Of free
transportation for officials of the de-
partments. For instance. the allow
ance for the state board of horticul-
tural inspection was reduced $4,000 ION
account of the free transportation now
provided and the consequent reduction
in the expenses Of this department"
as the governor stated. FronH the ex-
penses of the state board of equaliza-
ton, a cut Of $500 was made lowing
to a saving through the law permit
| ting free transportation for officials"
in the governors opinion. The appro-
priation for the state veterinarians Of
| flee was reduced $4,000, "a saving that
can be made easily on account of pro-
vision for free transportation" as the
| governor announced.
Aggregates Large sum-.
| The total amount which the state
expects to save at the expense OF the
| transportation companies aggregates a
surprising sum. To this should be add
ed the saving to counties, by reason of
free transportation granted to sheriffs
and their deputies.

list contain the names Of the supreme
court judges. Nor are the names OF
