is also convinced that the man who was
chiefly instrumental in placing him in
that unenviable position is no other
than c. o. Broxon, late candidate for

has convinced Mr.. McElroy that he was

other purpose than to draw Republican
votes from Haines in order to secure
the election of Alexander, and In proof

Governor Alexander's message to the
legislature is much milder document
than had been expected by either his
political friends or opponents. In fact
there are many things in 1t that COM
mend themselves to the public, and II
his pacific tone to the legislature is
meant, and he adheres to his expressed
intention of eschewing politics entirely,
and trying to come to friendly under
standing and cooperation with the two
legislative bodies in the interest OF
the public good, there Is no reason why
much should not be accomplished during
the session. The message does not
deal with the educational institutions
of the state, the promise being made
that they will be taken up later. Should
Mr.. Alexanders recommendations to
the legislature be fully carried out,
they would not bring about the large
saving which he promised in the cam
paign, but they would cut down ex-
penses materially.

roo MANY LAWS TO ENFORCE.

This nation as whole, and almost
every state in it-this one not accept
ed--suffers from too much law making.
Senator Root told the American Bar
association that in five years from 1909
to 1918 inclusive. congress and the
state legislatures passed 62.014 laws.
No one knows how many. thousands OF
Laws were in force before 1909, but the
62.014 new ones repealed many of those
previously in force, and amended many
more. with no end of resulting confu-
sion. Relatively few Of the laws are vi
cious enough to work direct harm, but
hundreds of them are harmful indirect
ly, for they are unnecessary, inconsist-
ent, and impossible to enforce.

Outside OF a few interested persons
in Wallace the people Of northern Idaho
generally approve of the action OF Gov
ernor Haines and the other members
Of the pardon board In releasing b.
F. O'Neil from the state prison on
Christmas eve. The approval Of the
rction taken is almost universal In
this city where the trial of 0'Neil took
place and people are familiar with the
details of the wrecked banking insti-
tuition OF which O'Neil was president
They know too much of the participa-
ton of other officials in the use OF
depositors' funds and their escaping
punishment by hook or crook while
O'Neil was made the scapegoat. With
all these facts stil in mind we are
not surprised that the sentiment is so
largely in favor Of O'Neil. He was
railroaded to the prison to save others
and justice demanded his release. The
governor, the attorney general and the
secretary Of state did their duty hon.
estly, openly and fearlessly in grant
ing the pardon to b. F. oNeil.-Coeur-

COUNTY PLAN SOLVE CARE OF

Mackay Miner presents an idea on
game matters that is not at all bad.
along the line Of devoting the revenues
Of a county to county game purposes.
1t says:
why not make the sheriff Of
each county the chief game warden
OF the county, with every constable
and every forest ranger a deputy
and do away netirely with all the
paid state deputies. Lot each coun-
ty have it's own license money. II
a man desires to hunt in Custer
county let him buy a Custer coun-
ty license and pay the county for
IT, The fish and game is
resource of this county, just as the
grassy hills upon which the stock
Craze are resources of the county.
1t Is a poor sport who would not
buy a license for two or three coun-
ties II he had two or three favorite
camping grounds in as many coun-
ties"
While the Miner editor Is a little
rusty on the game law, inasmuch as
county and forestry officers already
are deputies under the existing law,
he has advanced a good idea in that
license collected by a county might
properly belong to IL. Such a plan is
Numerically opposed to a plan or two
voiced in Boise, one of which would
juggle the game fund and make 1t part
of a general fund with which 1t could
possibly have mo connection.
But let us have local option in game
matters as we'll as booze.
The game department has been the
football of politics and crankisms ever
since 1t was created, and is likely to
continue as such In the event sports
men do not take hand to prevent
the law from becoming an insipid
plaything of sheep and cattle interests
There Is merit to the Miners con-
tention that county should receive
the funds for licenses taken out in
such county. 1t means, in short, II
county is favored as the haunt Of
game, that such county is subject tC
greater expense for policing the game
area. The plan would be opposed by
some of the counties that have less
game and more candidates for game
warden, as the argument would be ad.
vanced that such plan would result
in building up the game counties o.
the state Perhaps 1t would, and i
might be a good process, at that. i
enc area Is so situated as to be at
tractive to the sportsmen 1t Is no
bad plan TO improve and protect tina
area.
Under the present system, there Il
concerted effort on the part of preda
tory interests to shut the sportsmeI
out Of every section.
The process certainly needs revision

Even Kansas. the world-famed politi-
cal experimenter, has found that the
direct primary law throws too many
political spasms for it's freak-loving
temperament to stand up under, and a
bill will be introduced to repeal that
law during the present Legislature. The
present Idaho law was cross between
the Kansas and California laws. and is
said to combine the good qualities Of
both; which II true. lord save the mark.
But no law without compulsory clause
will cause indifferent voters to go to
the polls and exercise the right of fran
chise. If the present primary law is
to be continued IN Idaho, and we do
not believe 1t should. persons failing
TO vote at the primary should be heav-
lily fined or the right to vote taken
away from them, only to be restored
by an affidavit of Intention on their
part to ever afterward vote, unless hav.
ing a valid excuse for not doing so.

ment when only some forty or fifty
per cent of the voters avail themselves
OF 1t when they have the chance--and
