Boise. March 16.-- Although the
Thirteenth session Of the Idaho leg
islature adjourned Monday of last
week. consideration OF the general
appropriation bin still engrosses the
governor, and there In much specula-
tion as to his probable action in ref.
erence 10 It. However. a general
impression prevails that In order TO
make q showing of living up u his
campaign promises. he will make
great reductions. regardless Of the
effect upon state departments and
institutions. The veto Of a number
Of bills by the governor has aroused
no little indignation. Among these
are the bill providing for the employ
ment Of state convicts upon the pub
lie roads Of the different counties.
and the bill providing for the coop
Grafton Of the state with the nation
al government in the investigation Of
the proper use and appropriation of
water In irrigation districts. Espe-
cially Ia the governors veto Of this
bill condemned by farmers who In
sist that he has arrested work which
was calculated TO have been very ben.
eficial to them. The bin providing
for the employment Of the convicts
upon the public roads was supported
by both Ex-Governor Hawley and ex-
Governor Halnes. and was very gem
orally advocated. The veto Of II oc-
casioned great surprise.
Through the efforts Of Secretary oi
State George n. Barker, the farmers
Of the state are likely 10 receive great
assistance In the way OF loans at {
low rate Of interest. At q meeting oi
the state land board Tuesday Of last
week. Mr.. Barker presented Q reaolnt
ton that instead Of holding the money
Of the state In the banks the board
should loan II to the farmers Of the
state. and that the board should re.
duce the rates Of interest from 3 to {
per cent. He insisted that becauss
of the extreme financial depression
existing. farmers In all sections of ths
state were In . distressed condition
and that 1t was the duty of the stat'
to allow them the use of liz money
10 tide them through their need, ans
that during such u grave situation
they should not be charged over
per cent interest on the mUs,ess. Mr.
Barker's position has excited mnel
favorable comment and II meeting

why THIS DISTRICT
NEEDS ANOTHER JUDGE
Cost to the Counties In the District by Reason Of
D Having only One Judge Exceeds the Salary
Of an Additional Judge and Reporter.

Governor Alexander gave as his
pet" reason for vetoing the bill
providing for an additional Judge in
this judicial district, that another
Judge would mean an unnecessary
expense to the people of the district.
While the people of Bear Lake
county do not feel the need of an
other Judge, it is a well known fact
that the business of the district has
grown to such an extent that it is
absolutely impossible for one Judge
to properly take care of it, and for
this reason it is costing Bannock
county alone almost as much each
year to feed its prisoners as it would
have cost the entire district for an
additional Judge.
An effort was made to pass this
bill over the governors veto, but
the four democratic members Of the
house from the counties of Bear
Lake, Franklin and Oneida voted to
sustain the governors veto. Had
they not been afraid to incur the dis
pleasure Of the governor the bill
would have passed the house over
his veto and there is no question but
what it would also have passed the
senate.
The Pocatello Tribune, in com
menting upon the governors veto,
gives some facts and figures" which
show the true condition of affairs in
this district. The article also shows
an additional Judge would have cost
each Of the counties Of Bear Lake
Franklin and Oneida just 1854 :
year.
To begin with the Tribune pub
lished the following table which
shows the assessed valuation of each
district in the state, the number Of
counties in cath district and the
number of Judges:
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1915-03-19

pay for the additional judge, and
this amount of 1915 would be divid-
ed among the five counties in proper
tion to their valuation.
"A glance at the valuation Of the
various counties comprising the Fifth
district shows Bannock $25, ,002, 800:
Bear Lake So, ,669. 500: Franklin &c.
S38, ,096; Oneida "a, ,713, ,6Ss; Power
So, ,564,475; total of $51, ,287. 1913.
These figures show that of the
additional cost of S875 to be borne
by this district Bannock county bears
approximately one-half, leaving to
the othel four counties of the district
the sum of $437 so to be borne ac-
cording to their valuation. Without
making an exact calculation, it will
be seen from the valuations of these
counties that they would participate
in the payment of S437.50 in very
nearly equal manner. Power comfy
represented or supported the propo-
sition to pass it over the governors Is
veto. The amount to be paid by the
three counties whose representatives
refused to vote for the bill would be
approximately 1923 or $164 for each
county, and rather than pay this in
significant amount, these partisan
representatives would rather have
the business Of the district congested
and have the counties pay for the
board of scores of people charged
with crime who will be held in jail
for approximately five months in
every county before trial can be had
all of which expense will amount tc
fifty times the expense Of an addition.

The expense incident to the keep

court held in Bannock county, beer
approximately 81. 800. Most of thi

tional Judge had been provided, mas

The opponents cannot refutt
these figures, and neither can the.
hide behind the cry of economy b,

condition with only one Judge make
an additional burden upon the tax
payers for the reason that thes
j trials cannot be advanced. The onl

ism prestige. since at is safe TO say that
none Of our enemies could borrow such
sum in the United States at any price.
This country is making the $500. 100000
loan or a purely business basis. The ex-
tension Of credit will help US 70 maintain
our FOREIGN commerce. through very
critical period in its history. We have
removed a serious obstacle 70 foreign
trade by lifting the embargo in exchange.
We have benefited ourselves by adopting
sensible banking expedient by which
we can KEEP our foreign markets open.
But beyond that we get ample security
and a good rate Of interest on the money
which we advance.
Reduced. as it has been, TO the terms
Of an advantageous business enterprise
The loan has ceased to encounter senti-
mertal opposition. Those who still OPP
pose it manifestly put other interests
above tho interests Of the United States.
They have therefore no ground left TO
stand on. The rush of banking concerns
to ge into the underwriting and reap its
oroG.s has taken from the critics Of the
loan the only legitimate argument which
they have made against it-that of bust
ness expediency.
The loan has succeeded because primar-
ily it is a good venture for the United
states. Its success fortifes our economic
position and must help to open the eyes
Of those who still doubt our capacity TO
become one of the great banking powers
Of the world.

.dItor Of The Tribune.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir; The administration at Washington
seems 10 be inoculsted with fear. It is all
the time afraid Of something that Germany
will not accept the demands made in its notes
or that It will still continue to torpedo pas
senger ships, or will refuse reparation IN the
Lusitanis case. etc.
The latest fear is that Mr.. Bryan will upset
Mr.. Wilson's so-called preparedness pro-
rramme. Instead of shivering over the Bryan
bugaboo. which is largely If not wholly imagi-
nary. why doesn't the President go ahead
on his original plan (if he ever had any and
demand from Congress such an increase IN
the army and navy as the country needs
II has been the curse of this nation ever
since It's foundation that a President can sue
coed himself No sooner is he warm in his
official chair at the White House than ne
begins 20 shape everything he does to pro-
mote. or at least not to hinder, his renomina-
ton. II he doesn't do this himself to any
noticeable extent his political friends (the
ofiiceholGers) can be depended upon to do 1t
for him.
Let US have one term only, and that, say,
for six years, and then President can snap
his fingers at the politicians and do his duty,
his whole duty, by the country. NJ T. K.

An I'm American View?

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: an an article headed "Intimidated
written by George Andrews, in your issue OF
September "a, is the following statement: at
is with deep modification that say that am
now ashamed Of my American nationality
The writer is referring to the possibility of a
felure in the plans for the negotiation OF
the so-called allies loan" which alone, he
says, could be due to fear on the part of bank
officers of German depositors.
To the mind of Mr.. George Andrews bit of
a loan like the one In question, it would seem,
presents no question but the simple one OF
overcoming fear on our part. Even the
slightest study on the questions involved in
this loan, which has absorbed so much Of the
time and attention of some of our foremost
fnanciers, would tend TO show how super
fetal is every view expressed by this I'M
American writer. American nationality de-
mands loyalty Of all its worthy adherents.
