THE LAUGH is ON THE GOVERNOR.

Governor Alexander vetoed three
uniform law measures on the ground
that they had not been given due con-
sideration. These were bills prepared
by the uniform law commission, which
for the past fifteen years, has been
uniform laws on negotiable %irstru-
ments, warehouse receipts, bills OF
lading, divorce, child labor, family de-
sertion, wills, marriage evasion, part
nership and many others. Some of
these bills have been enacted into law
by forty-six states and Idaho has en-
acted some Of them. Five such bills
were passed by the last legislature,
three of them being vetoed for the
reasons stated. Representative Koel-
sch, chairman of the judiciary COM
mittee, gets back at the governor as
follows:
These acts or drafts are prepared
In the first place by experts on the
respective subjects and are then SUBJ
mitted to those interested therein and
to the Commissioners at their annual
conference. Thus the uniform sales
act, one OF the acts passed by the
Legislature Of Idaho, just ended, and
vetoed by the governor on the ground
that 1t was not properly considered by
the legislature, was first drafted I'm
1902, by Samuel Williston, Professor
OF Law in the Harvard University
who did so at the request of the
Commissioner on Uniform State Law.
1t was printed In the summer of 1903
and distributed with a request for
criticism to teachers of the law of
sales, writer's, lawers, and other ex-
perts. With the criticisms received
the author revised the draft of the
proposed act, and submitted such re-
vised draft to the conference of the
commissioners on Uniform State Laws
in the summer of 1904. At this con-
terence the draft was gone over section
by section. Doubtful points and pro-
posed changes in wording were care
tnlly considered. Thus revised the
same was again submitted to the con-
ference In 1905. Changes we're again
suggested and the draft again revised
n once more submitted in 1906.
when it was finally adopted by the
commissioners and recommended for
passage. This is but an illustration

which we're passed by the late session

BRADY MEMBER OF
RURAL CREDITS COMMITTEE
Joint Committee of House and Senate
to Study Rural Credits Legislation

Senator Brady of Idaho, who will
arrive at his home in Pocatello about
the 10th or 18th inst, is planning to
devote a large part of his time be-
gress in study of the rural credits
question. The Senator is a member of
the joint senate and house committee
of IL, appointed to go into the subject
land to draft for presentation to con-
gross next session what it believes to
be the best form of rural credits bill.
During the summer months each men,
Der of the committee will make indi-
vidual study of the subject, and in the
fall the committee will assemble, con-
duct further hearings and then formu-
late its report. Senator Brady is one
Of two Republicans selected from the
entire senate to serve on this commit
tee, having been designated because
Of his well known interest on the sub
ject of rural credits.
Just before he left Washington,
Senator Brady made the following
statement with regard to the work of
the joint committee:
Is of Vast Importance.
II I'M glad indeed, that I have
Nm named as a member of the joint
commission on rural credits. This
subject to which / have gained consid-
cradle thought and one that is of
vast Importance to the American peo-
ple-to the business man, and the
professional man, just as much as to
the farmer for the reason that land
is the real basis of all wealth and
under proper limitations offers better
security for long time investments
than any other class of property. Yet,
owing to the unorganized condition of
the farmers, and the lack of proper
legislation, the farmers are today pay
ing a higher rate of interest than any
other class Of people. What l desire
is to assist the farmers getting the
credit they are justly entitled to and
to secure the personal credit that
they as individuals are entitled to. II
that is accomplished the farmer will
take care of the rest of 1t himself.
Look at All Sides.
This commission is to study the
subject from all viewpoints as inGiv-
iduals during the summer and then In
the fall for two months as a commits
sion, and by the time congress con-
enc they hope to be able to fur
nish statistics. facts and plans that
will enable each and every senator
and representative to have before him
information that in my opinion will
be invaluable to them as legislators,
With this information at hand II
seems to me that within a reasonable
time we ought to be able to frame a
just and equitable law that will ma
terially relieve the over-burdened
producer OF the present day from
heavy interest rates.
Never before has anything of this
kind been undertaken on such a
o scale. My associates on the
commission are all high class and
capable men and I feel quite sure
that we will be able to render a SER
vice that will be worth while to the
country"

ground that they had not been duly

Mr.. Koelsch concludes by telling
how these bills were considered In the
