Compel Secretary To
SIGN Commissions

A writ Of mandate was applied
for in the supreme court Monday
to be directed against Secretary
of State George r. Barker to COM
pcll him TO forthwith sign and
deliver commissions to ID. l.. In
gard of payette and Louis A.
Blackman of Lewiston, appoint
ed by Governor Alexander as
members of the state board of
horticulture, or answer and show
cause why he has not done so.
The writ was prepared it is said,
by James II. Hawley and II
Johnson, attorneys for the gov
ernOr, who propose to make a
test case out of the secretary of
states refusal to issue the COM
missions. The latter Official
will probably be given a reson-
able time in which to answer the
citation and to appear before the
supreme court.
Governor Alexander appointed
the two members of the board
several days ago. Friday night
The secretary of state issued a
letter to het chief executive de-
cIining to issue the commissions.
He set forth as his reasons the
provision contained in section
1910 Of the codes, to the effect
the governor in making appoint
ments of members of this board
shall consider and recommend
ations made by the State Horti-
cultural association. He quot
ed letter from Walter E. Wood,
secretary of the association to
the effect that he appointments
were made in violation and dis
regard of the recommendations
of the association.
Governor Alexander made the
appointments on the grounds of
efficiency and economy. Mr.. In
gard was a member of the board
under Governor Haines and was
reappointed by the present chief
executive. Mr.. Blackman is one
cf the most prominent fruit grow
ers of northern Idaho. The sec
rotary of state baked the gov
ernor in his desire to investigate
the penitentiary. His present at
titude, it is said in political cir
cles, is a second attempt to balb
the governor and branded by
many as petty politics.

Many New Bills
Are Introduced
GOVERNORS MESSAGE TO LEGISLATURE
Legislature Would Regulate Pool And Billiard
IIaIIS---Stringent Prohibition Bill Up

Boise, Idaho, Jan. 27.-Before
a wave for new laws that swept
over the legislature today had
subsidized bills were on record in
The house calling a second time
for statewide prohibition, to
close pool and billiard halls at
9 p. m. and placing ban on slot
machines. In the senate nepo-
lism was the principal subject
under discussion, and it was evi-
dent that the Rockwell act max
ing it a misdemeanOr for an Of
fetal of the state, county or city
to appoint or vote for the ap-
-pointment of any person related
10 him by affinity or consanguin-
ty within the third degree will
pass.
Declaring for the strictest
economy in the management OF
state institutions, which means
cutting even the budget of the
state board of education, Govern
or Alexander submitted a lengthy
message to both houses. In it
he highly praises the University
Of Idaho and asserts he sagainst
The segregation of any of the
state colleges, and stands for one
great educational institution To-
Gated at Moscow.
"The people are unanimous"
the governor said, "that the uni
versily as it now exists, shall be
maintained as one unit, under
one management, and located at
one place"
The governor also reiterates
his stand against the adjustment
of the state normal at Albion as
planned by the state board Of ed
ucation. 81 believe it would be
poor business he says, to abol-
ish as perfectly constructed and
equipped an institution as the
Albion normal" In the mes
sage the normal at Lewiston,
academy at Pocatello, the insane
asylums and the deaf and blind
school are praised. The reform
school management at st. An
thony is criticized. The govern
or says the reform school has
too many departments, and it is
hard to tell whether it is a train
ing school or a boarding school
The senate passed the Evans
house bill permitting school dis
trict trustees to issue emergency
deficiency warrants, which means
an expenditure of thousands OF
idollars to school trustees. The
senate killed two notary public
commission bills and spent the
greater part of the session dis
cussing the nepotism act.
The measure was slightly
amended by the senate within The

the democratic precinct COM
mitteemen at the meeting held
Tuesday for the purpose of rec
ommeding to the governor the
names of persons to fill the diff
fcrent county offices of the new

deal of interest was taken in the
meeting and all but four of the

cincts were present in person and
these four were represented by
proxy.
Besides the committeeman
there were a large number of
others present. Them Getting OF
the committee was held at the
Kootenai Inn and for two hours
before it was called to order the
corridors were crowded with pol
ilicians and they were not con-
fined by any means to members
OF the democratic party. The
conferences buttOn-hOling and
wire pulling that was carried on
forcibly reminded one of the
scenes enacted at the Owyhee or
Idanha hotels in Boise just prior
to the organization of the legis-
lature. 1t was an hour past the
time set in the call when Ed Kol-
man, who acted as master of
ceremonies, announced that "the
precinct committeeman would
meet in number A."

tee M. ID. Harris of ST. Joe was
chosen temporary chairman and
O R. Scott of Plummer tempor-

Leaf, Nichols and Hildbrand was
appointed. There was contro-
versy over the proxy held by o.
b. Moon of Thos. Nroman who
claimed to be precinct commit

cinct. The committee reported
all precinct committeeman pres
ent or represented by proxy ex-
cpt Alder Greek and st. Maries
and the report was adopted. a
motion was carried that the chair
be authorized to fill the vacancy
in the representation from AL
der Greek and st. Maries. The
chairman communicated will

Alene by telephone and was in
formed that Mr.. Vroman had act
ed and been recognized as com
mitteeman from Alder Greek af.
ter the removal of Sam Yearout

J. KinsOlving, who had been rec
commended by a meeting of tn

The apathy of this community in the face of
an evil which already has grown to large pro-
portions is astounding. Murder, suicide, high
way robbery, burglary and innumerable forms
of petty thievery are making the Paradise of
the Pacific happy hunting ground for crimi
mails. One redeeming feature Of their activities
is that very often the murderer will finish his
bloody Job by committing. suicide, but the eff
feet of such tragedies as these is definitely low
ering to community morale and to the sense
of law observance which should be heighten-
ing as educative years pass by,
1t used to be said, 'There'sno crime in Ho-
nolulu. Yon can leave your door unlocked
safely. Nobody steals That cannot now be
said except in grim jest. And undoubtedly
one of the several factors which have stimu-
lated crime and misdemeanor is the ease with
which weapons may be secured.
TO say that the influx of alien populations
to say that the coming of large masses Of men
in whose midst few bad ones are sure to be
found, combine to increase crime, is not an
excuse. The answer to such an explanation is
that preventive measures and repressNe meas
ures must keep pace with the necessity.

WITH $1,000 TROOPS HERE.

In announcing at the AID Club yesterday that

comparatively short time, Maj.-Gen. Carter

population which is becoming an integral part
Of Honolulu life,

Honolulu. It's perfectly apparent that $4,000
soldiers or % 900 bankers or 3, 600 mechanics
or 1000 college boys cannot be added to the
normal population of Oahu without creating
problems and opportunities The need that
has presented itself up to this time in connec-
ton with the military population is the need
for RECREATION and entertainment when the
men arezoutside their post reservations. The
soldiers &lesire and have the right to desire a
clean, d0rent and pleasant social life, just as
every NAL human being does. Yet it is I'M
Fortunately true that the places where the sol

The long line OF wagons down the
street,
Rambling. tearing and slowly crawl
ing;
While from the many drivers lips.
At theirsteams, they curse (and there's
many slip)
In the calling.
The clang of the surface car,
The rumble Of the overhead road;
The angry snap Of the motorman
At the driver Of the moving van;
They are the progress traffic's code.
Now the horn of some motor car
Peals out, like q horn In the fog,
And it seems to say, Beware! Be-

At the crossing the police stand

The pedestrians watchdog.
Together. with railroad and busy folk.
These make city's stress,
The drivers curse and motorman's

The overhead road and the auto horn,
Are the main arteries Of progress.
