tions about the industry that tended
to curb new development.
Professor D. c. Livingston of the
University of Idaho gave the conven-
tion an interesting talk on "The Rela-
tion of the University of Idaho to the
Mining Industry and also indorsed
the idea of a state geologist. He SAID

BILL HUMPHREYS SUCCORS A CALF

Bill Humphries went out to George
Dougherty's ranch the other day to
help George give a sick calf pareGoric
or castoria or whichever it is they
give to calves when they have the
collie, or Group, or cholera-morbus or
whatever it is calves get when they
eat too much (Bill knows), and Bill
talked the matter over with the calf;
but it appears he didn't take the
calf's mother into his confidence.
That's what they say, anyway. The
calf agreed to take Bills medicine.
with the understanding that it wasn't
to taste bad, but it did taste bad ard
the calf cried out, as calves will when
they don't like their medicine, and the
calf's mother came running, and chas-
ed Bill up into the haymow, and he
had to stay up there until lady came
out to look for him, and took the moth
er COW away. Bill says the medicine
would have cured the calf, and he
might have grown up into a first
class steer and topped the Portland
market, but he hopes he will never
be anything but a runt ,and that
George will have to give him to Meek
er for dog meat That is as much as
such poor sport as that calf is de-
serves, Bill says.

Statesman: Governor Alexander is
in favor of retaining the Albion state
normal school. He SO expressed him-
Helf Tuesday when in conference with
a committee of three from the lower
house which had called upon him in
reference to the educational apprO-
prTafion measure. The committee,
which was composed of Representa-
tiwes McMurray, republican; Hunsin-
ger and Magee, democrats, brought
the matter to the attention of the gov
ernor while advocating an itemized
statement of the different appropria-
tions which are asked by the state
educational institutions.
Representative Murray, is from
Cassia county, where Albion is locat-
ed, while Representative Hunsinger
lives in the adjoining county of Min
idoka. Both expressed themselves to
the governor as believing the appro-'
priation asked is entirely too large
and that it should be cut down and
the Albion normal retained.
That's right, gentlemen" said the
governor. "These state schools want
100 much money. I worked hard to
get that appropriation down as low as
could but even now it is entirely too
high. Over here at Pocatello they
want to build a gymnasium for thirty
thousand dollars, while half of the
Students would be better off doing
heir gymnastics in hay field. We

Educational Matters Considered

King Of Lewis county withdrew his
bill abolishing the office of commits
sioner of education and presented an
other relative to the powers and duties
of the state board of education, Civ
ing it greater control over the COM
missioner. Educational matters also
were considered in the senate.
The educational committee brought
in a favorable report on the resolu-
ton for a constitutional amendment
abolishing the office of state superin-
tendent of public instruction. Senator
Day of Latah presented a minority
report against the resolution. He said
the state board of education was de-
veloping too many juggernaut ten

New Primary Law Proposed

Among the measures introduced II
direct primary law, the feature OF
which is a proviSo that the state and
congressional officers shall be named
by a convention to be held on the
second Tuesday i'm August; and also
providing for holding of the primary
election on the last Tuesday of July
for county officers. This measure is
believed to be the majority program
carrying out the platform pledge. An
other bin in keeping With the platform
was introduced by Johnston providing
for putting into effect the initiative
referendum and recall amendments
This measure oanried in the election
two years ago.
The time of the senate was almost
wholly taken up with the discussion
of reimbursing persons for the loss OF
the horses Affected with glanders which
were ordered killed on the authority
of the state veterinarian.
1t is understood that the fight Will
come up tomorrow in the senate ia the
commtttee of the whole on an amend
ment to abolish the state superinuen-
snentss office
Senator Johnston of Franklin started
bill Through the senate repeating the
act creating the public utilities con-
-niss4pn ITO he effective sixty days af-
ter the adjournment of the Legislature
A similar bill is already before the
house. Tt is understood that the cO1TE
mittee there which has it under cUn-
sideration is recommending indefinite
postpuneHent There seems in some
quarters to be strong sentiment IN
favor of abO1ishing the commission,
and a big fight is looming.
The Educational appropriation bill
is having hard shedding in the COM
mfttee. It is believed now that the
plan to abolish Albion may fail and
that Pocatello will get nothing more
than what it has. Thus the education
al program will be practically defeat
ed, though, if the Albion normal school
is killed, Pocate11o may gain only the
normal school feature.
