most important of these, perhaps, j:
the anti-nepotism act, by which it is
made unlawful to appoint a relative
by blood or affinity to a public posi-
ton. There are a number of persons
in Canyon county who were displaced
by this act.
Another Of Importance throughout
the "dry" section of the state is the
stringent local option law, which lin
its the sale Of Intoxicating liquors to
an absolute minimum, and which, it is
believed, will eliminate bootlegging.
transportation of liquor may be done
only on an order from the county pro-
bate court. The druggist may carry
in stock only as much as the probate
court will allow, and it may be sold
only on the order of the court. No
provision is made for any method of
procuring any kind of wines or
liquors except for sacramental pur-
poses. A second conviction under this
law carries with it a penitentiary SEN
tence.
Among other important acts in eff
feet are the emergency employment
act, by which county commissioners
may provide work for the destitute;
the logged-off land act, which pro-
vides for the creation of improvement
districts in the manner in which road
districts are created; an act permit
ting corporations to construct and
maintain power lines for their own
use; an act prohibiting illicit traffic in
narcotic drugs; an act establishing
municipal employment bureaus and
permitting the construction of log
booms in the Clearwater river.
Two measures for which the ener-
gies of the clubwomen over the state
were in a measure responsible go into
effect at this time. These are the
amendment in the mothers pension
law by which it is made to apply to a
wife whose husband is confined in an
insane asylum, and the lazy husband
law, making wife desertion an extra
ditable offense.
One new department is created, that
Of director of farm markets, for which
an appropriation of $4,000 was made.
Salaries of the register Of the state
land board, the state land commits
sioner and the public utilities COM
are reduced, the two for
mer $500 each and the latter S400.

forced, Emmett will be in the run

culated yesterday and sufficient funds
to outfit the team was secured.
The receipts of games will be di-
vided in the customary manner: At
ter 10 per cent has been taken out for
grounds, go per cent of the remainder
will go to the winner and 40 per cent
to the loser.

PATRIOTIC UTTERANCES
Former President Taft Urges Country
to Stand by President

At a banquet in Philadelphia Tues
day, Former President Taft gave ut
terance to the following patriotic sen.
timents, which may well be adopted
by every one at this time:
"Under our constitution the presi-
dent conducts our foreign affairs until
congress finds it necessary to declare
war. Upon him is the acute response
bility in such a crisis. If he were to
yield to the cry of extremists and sum-
mon congress to take extreme meas
ures, he would have great influence
with congress under such provoca-
ton. Indeed, the impulse to such ac-
ton has usually been stronger with
congress than with executive.
"Now it may be that a series of
acts of inhumanity and violations of
the laws of war to our national detri-
ment and against our citizens may
force us on and lead our people to be-
lieve that whatever the cost, no other
course is open to US.
"But we must bear in mind that if
we have a war it is the people who
must pay with lives and money the
cost of it, and therefore they should
not be hurried into the sacrifice until
it is clear that they wish it and know
what they are doing when they wish
it.
"a demand for war that cannot sur
vive the passion of the first days of
public indignation and will not endure
the test of delay and deliberation by
all the people is not one that should
be yielded to-"
The president, he said, was acting
like Washington, Lincoln and McKin-
ley in trying to avoid war. In the
present situation it was imperative
that ne should know the opinion OF
the country without regard to preju-
dice.
"The task of the president is a
heavy one," continued Mr.. Taft. "He
is acting for the whole country. He
is enxious to find a way out of the
present difficulty without war.
Before party, before ourselves, we
are for our country That is what
he is working for. Shall we not stand
by him in it? He will not surrender
our country's right. 1t may be nee
essary that for hundred lives and
the method of their taking, we should
lose thousands and hundreds of thou
sands of lives. The national honor
and interests may ultimately demand
it, but time for serious thought and
clearly weighing the consequences will
not prejudice the justice of our cause
or the opportunity to vindicate it and
his the president may be counted on
70 secure.

NEW LAWS TAKE EFFECT
One Hundred and Four Became Oper-
ative Saturday.

Saturday saw 104 new laws go into
effect for the government of the state
of Idaho. These are the acts passed
by the 18th session of the Idaho leg
islature and approved by the govern
or, but which did not have an emer-
gency clause attached. Of the emer-
gency laws there were 63 which went
into effect Immediately on their ap-
proval by the governor.
Some of these laws, such as the
prohibition law and the act which
changed the scope of the Academy OF
Idaho, are effective on the day named
by the bill. The first of these, for in
stance, becoming effective January l,
1916, and the latter July l, 1915.
There are some others on which the
date is fixed.
A number of laws which went into
effect Saturday are of far reaching
influence throughout the state. The

GEMCOUNTYEND
Ninety-one Per Cent of Votes Cast
Were in Favor of Creation of New
County---Ola the Banner Precinct

Governor Alexander will be in En-
NETT Friday afternoon to meet with
the Democratic central committeeman
of Gem county, and other citizens, to
learn of their wishes and recommen-
dations in the selection of officers.
1t is expected that the appointments
will be made early next week. AS the
success of the new county depends en-
tirely upon the business ability and
judgment of the officers, it is hoped
that good business sense, rather than
political pull, will govern the appoint
ments.

The Vote

Thirty years ago, while stand
ing in the cupola of the old
school building, to which he and
William Parish were putting the
finishing touches, and drinking
in the beautiful panorama OF the
valley which was spread out be-
fore them, James Wardwell with
prophetic vision predicted that
some day in the future the Pay
ette and Squaw creek valleys
would be created into one coun-
ty, with Emmett as the county
seat.
That dream of James Ward
well, which became the ambition
of many Emmett citizens, as well
as of residents of Squaw creek,
came true Tuesday.
Jim" Wardwell was the ori-
ginal booster of Emmett, the
town he loved and did so much
for. His enthusiasm was caught
by his son-in-law, E. K. Hayes,
and the fulfillment of his dream
became the cherished ambition
of Ed Hayes. 1t was therefore
fitting that Senator Hayes
should become the father of the
Gem county bill and become a
big factor in securing its passage
by the legislature, and insits en-
dorsement by the people. If
Jim" Wardwell were alive to-
day, this would be a happy day
for him. And so in celebrating
the creation of Gem county, let
us not forget the man whose pro-
phetic vision foresaw the future
of the upper Payette valley and
who labored so faithfully, so un-
.creasingly that his dream might
come true.

HIGH SCHOOL WINS
Aggies Defeated by Decisive Score of
Z to 0

The Twilight League games have
been overshadowed by the Gem county
campaign during the last week, but
from now on renewed interest will be
manifested. In the game last Thurs
day, the High School decisively de-
feated the Aggies, the score being 7 to
0. The batteries were Campbell and
Eggleston for the schoolboys and
Marker and Crawford for the Aggies.
Campbell's twisters were puzzlers ana
his support was gilt edged. He struck
out eight. Marker, twirled a good
game, but his support was ragged. He
famed four.

During the campaign, The Index re-
Trained from publishing any figures
relative to the cost of administering
the new county, or making guess as
to probable tax rate, because figures
are often misleading and untrust-
worthy. Now that the campaign is
over, our guess may not he out of
place. E. K. Hayes makes the same
estimate. Here it is, based on the

A pretty good story, in which Car
line, the little daughter of Mr.. ana
Mrs. Walter S. Keith figures, is
being told. She had been ask
ing questions about the different
countries engaged in war, and her
mother had replied with facts rela-
tive to the sizes of countries of France,
Germany, etc, and also of the United
States. When the latter was men
toned, Carline became interested and
remarked: "Oh, yes; the nickname of
the United States is Gem County,
