airy 2, the first copy of the new Daily

advisers, data as to crop yield and con
dition from the census bureau and agri.
cultural department and information as
to crop yield and condition from the
census bureau and agricultural depart
ment and information as to war risk in
surance written by the government
bureau in the treasury department from

have been too great and the increased
salary of the court reporter has been ex-

Salaries of Officers of State.
The appropriation received by the
governor has been $22,s00. His salary
is $4,000 and it should be reduced to
$4,000. The secretary of state appro-

appropriated for the state auditor, and

The legislation of this nature is vici-

governor, as il has been repudiated by
the best minds among legislative antho-
rites. He illustrates what continuing
appropriations mean as in case of the
bill for the militia of the state, house

appropriation of $4,000 per annum, or
$4,000 for years 1915.19l6. The Of

As to Liquor.

Regarding liquor the message says:
II recommend that you pass the
necessary legislation to submit to the
qualified voters in 1916 a constitu
tional amendment to be voted upon
that will prohibit the manufacture and
sale of Intoxicating liquor in this state
forever, in any manner, shape or form.
The proposed amendment should be so
meaning.
81 further advise that more than =
constitutional amendment is required of
us. Our sister states of Washington
and Oregon, on November 3, 1914. wrote
into the organic law of those states the
voice of the people prohibiting the
manufacture of sale of alcoholic bever-
ages, on and after January l, 1916.
These states border upon Idaho and I'M
less we take prompt action to protect
our people, their homes and their young,
idaho will be made the rendezvous for
the liquor traffic of these states.
81 recommend that law be passed
in addition to the submission of q con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of all alcoholic
beverages on and after January l, 1916.
This law should further provide that
no further local option elections may
be held and that no licenses should be
granted for the sale of alcoholic liquors
as beverages, either at Wholesale or re-
tail. under any circumstances beyond
the time statutory prohibition shall be
come effective.

Austria May Do Same
IL Austria refuses TO heed the
American request, and recall Dunn
ba. the United States will hand him
his passports. Such a course, IL Is
believed, would be followed by Aus
tria's handing passports TO Ambas-
ssdor Penfield at Vienna.
There was good ground for the
belief that Dumba's home govern
ment may back him up In his re-
cent activities. II was pointed out
that he apparently was acting with
the direct approval OF Austria. tho
the foreign office perhaps did not
know the exact steps he had taken
in his munitions Gripping plan.
Hope for Compliance
Should his government support
him, officials said, more serious
issue would be forced than the mere
elimination OF Dumba A. represen-
tative- here. The administration.
however, confidently hopes that
Austria viii comply with the recall
request
Expect Quick Action
This government is already ar
ranging with the allies for a safe
conduct for the envoy. The gen.
eral opinion here was that Dumba
will be recalled. but that Austria
win not Immediately appoint his
successor. Baron Erick Zwiedenek,
counselor OF the embassy. will be
made charge daffaires. II is be-
lieved. Prompt action is expected
from Vienna The American re-
quest Is already there. An answer
within two days Is anticipated, be-
cause OF probability that Austria
wishes TO prevent a more grievous
rupture than already confronts the
two nations.
Dumba's passports have been pre-
pared and will be forwarded to him
as soon at Vienna's plans are
known.
German Minister, Too?
The possibility was suggested
that similar issue will be raised
with Berlin on account of German
Ambassador Won Bernstorff's rela-
tons with Archibald. and the en-
voy's alleged interest in a German
plan to cal out German muitions
workers, as Dumba contemplated
doing with Austrians.
Archibald. upon whom were
found the telltale Dumba letters,
Is returning to America under an
emergency passport issued by this
government. and an investigation
OF his part In the Austrian-and
perhaps German-plans will be In
stituted.
Agent May Go Free
He was quoted this week as say
Ing he had been made a scapegoat
by Dumba. not knowing the con-
tents of the letters he was carry
ing to Vienna. II he proves this.
1t is believed the United States can
make no case against him.
