Desire Change In
IdahO Statutes

Commissioner +. W. Esgate Of
the Kootenai county board re-
turned last week from Boise
where he had been in attendance
at a meeting of the legislative
committee from the state or
ganizalion of commissioners, Of
which body he is a member. I'm
discussing the proposed changes
i'm the Idaho statutes affecting
county administration and affairs
Mr.. Esgate stated that the dele
cation recommended among
other reforms that the counties Of
the state be divided according TO
classes, providing for four di-
visions and under such classiii-
cation the salaries of county Of
ficials was to be determined by
the state legislature. This mea-
sure, it is believed, would do
away with much inequality
which may exist in the present
law which allows the board to
fix the salaries and expenditures
loi every county within certain
limits imposed by law
An amendment of the pOn tax
provision was drafted and is des-
igned to be more satisfactory i'm
its operation than The present
statute. The new clause would
ask that The poll tax be collected
by the employing companies after
amy employe has worked two days
rather than waiting for two weeks
period before a deduction is made
i'm the wages. Vhis measure is
proposed to obviate the loss to
the county government of much
of the poll tax revenue which is
lodged by transients who may
work a few days in one locality
and then remove to another sec
ton.
A bill has been drawn up anC
may be presented within the
present term which relates to the
compulsory provision for the care
of children by unnatural parents
This law Mr.. Esgate would tern
the 'lazy parent" act rather thar

Prison Labor Bill
introduced In Senate

The prison labor bill to work
c0nvicts outside of the peniten-
tiary on state highways, intro
duced in the senate by Senator
q. G. Fritz of Boise county, and
Senator Irwin r. Rockwell of Can
yon County, is considered one of
the most important acts of its
kind TO come before the Thir-
tecnth Legislature.
This bill seems To confer upon
the state prison commissioners
power to take convicts from the
penilentiary and work them on
highways i'm various parts of the
state, either i'm building new
roads or maintaining those that
are built. They are also en-
powered to build these highways
"at such places as in the iudg-
ment of the said board of pris-
ON commissioners shall be for
the greatest interest of the state"
Provision is made i'm the bill that
"Such highways shall be con-
structed for the purpose of open
ing up the isolated districts of the
state and shall be constructed
where no adequate road now ex-
lists"
The board is also given power
To- enter into contracts with the
boards Of county commissioners
of each county, whereby the
) county commissioners agree to
furnish all necessary materials
for the construction of bridges
etc.
Prisoners so worked are to be
allowed good time" in the
amount of 10 days for each
month Of service performed un-
der the provisions of the act i'm
working ON the highways. This
good time is deducted from
their respective sentences. In
addition they are to be paid So a
month "as evidence of the gooC
will and wishes of the state oI

the state to those dependent upoI

These county conventions will Sc

Tuesday in August, which in turn
will nominate the federal and
state candidates. The state con-
vcntion is to be held in Boise,
unless otherwise designated by
the state committee. The basis
of representation in the county

Boise, Idaho, Feb. 2.-The mi

give a clean bill, the minority

Republicans Want
New Primary Law

The proposed statewide pri-
mary for the nomination of fed
cral and state candidates for
Idaho will be displaced to make
way for a state convention to
accomplish this, if a republican
administration bill launched i'm
the senate is enacted into law.
The bill came from the state af-
fairs committee, the administra-
ton mouthpiece. That it will
precipitate bitter fight in the
legislature before it is passed
was claimed by leaders of both
parties.
The proposed primary is a
combination of numerous pro-
posed acts and suggestions.
While eliminating the primary
for the nomination of state Of
ncials it retains that part of the
present primary for the nomina-
ton of county and legislative
candidates, but draws party lines
strictly and prevents participa-
ton by members of one party il

.ployed.
This bill carries out recon-
mendation made a few weeks ago
by Judge Davis in an address on
Criminal Law" at the First
Methodist church in Boise. Prob
ably no man in the state has made
a more careful study of social
conditions, the causes of crime
and the fates which tend to des-
troy the home, than has Judge
Davis. Several times since he
has been on the bench cases
lave come before him in which
Zee was disqualified because of the
fact that he had gone out of his
way to help those who had later
gotten into trouble. Only re-
cenly a youth by name of William
Cody stood before Judge McCar-
thy i'm district court and made a
statement that he had kept
straight several years owing to
the influence of Judge Davis, who
had been friend, adviser and
/ helper of the family.
/ knowing conditions Judge Davis
strongly favors state employment
for those who need it and hopes
to see the Bowman bill enacted
into law.
In his address on Criminal
Law, Judge Davis in speaking on
conditions which lead to crime,
lpointed ont that want was one
lof The chief causes. He said
That men willing TO work, but Of
ten times unable TO perform hard
.manual labor because of age or
physical conditions, were driven
90 crime to supply their needs.
Then touching ON state aid, he
said:
"The state could help such
people more than it does. 1t is
Il disgraceful charge against our
management of affairs to have it
truthfully said that any people
who want to work and earn their
own way cannot find employment
to do so. In the first place, the
state could arrange the course of
study in the school so that every
boy and girl could be trained to
make a living in some honest
b way. l do not discourage cul-
lure to those who can afford it,
p but l do assert that it is a crime
2 against our children to impose
8 upon hem a vast amount of eff
3 fort in studying subjects that are
) utterly useless in life. An edu-
5 cation is promised bread and you
5 give them a stone.

y Judge Davis in his recommend
n atiOns goes even further than the
q Bowman bill. He says: PRO
