BOISE, Jan. 13.-Lfting the lid on
the sale of state school lands, per-
mitting the state to sell 100 sections
instead of 25 in one year was the fea-
ture of the legislative program today
when joint resolutions providing for
constitutional amendments to that eff
feet were started through both houses.
The measures were indicative of a new
program on land affairs of which it is
prophesied these are only the fore
runners.
Both houses were barren of excite
ment today though five constitutional
amendments were introduced besides
the usual grist of miscellaneous bills.
Representative William Hunter of
Latah offered a measure appropriating
$1,000 to the First National Bank of
Moscow for judgment against the uni
versity regents.
Frehafer of Washington county, the
new commissioner of public utilities
to take the place of J. A. Blomquist,
assumed office today, as did also Le-
roy Jones, the new game warden.
Begins Investigation
w. H. Gleason, expert accountant,
who was employed Saturday. by the
state board of prison commissioners
to investigate the books of the state
penitentiary, began work Sunday after
noon. The investigation was ordered
when Warden Shook appeared before
the board and requested that such an
accounting be made to set at rest rum
ors about the city which have arisen
since the governor sent Axel P. Ram
stedt to the institution to secure in
formatio Governor Alexander voted
against the investigation Saturday.
