BOISE, Jan .26-There has been in
troduced into the house by King OF
Lewis county bill to amend the act
flunder which the state board of educa-
ton was established and abolish the
Office of commissioner of education by
striking out subdivisions, one and four
of section six
Subdivision one authorizes the
board to appoint commissioner and
upon the recommendation of the com
missioner to appoint such other spe-
cialists, assistants, clerks, or other
executive officers or employees as may
be deemed necessary.
Subdivision four provides that in all
matters which involve new policy
and new methods OF procedure, the
experts shall report back to the Board
for instructions; but, once having Civ
en- these instructions, the execution
of them shall be left to the experts
whom the Board employs.
The latter subdivision has been sub
jected to especially severe criticism as
a vicious feature Of the lew by many
who hold that once the board has ap-
proved a scheme of the commissioner
it is powerless to interfere or to mod
ify it.

tiOnal institutions of the state is the
first and one of the most important
measures which is involved in the
fight between the governor and the
committee. Reduce all along the
line, says he.
LeMistons Normal school comes
into this fight along with the other
institutions. The bill was drawn by
the state board of education and at
the first meeting of the committee it
was generally agreed that the bill
should go through as drawn. Then
they saw the governor, after which
they found they had a good many
other thoughts on the subject
First on the list for the Lewiston
Normal is an item of $125,388 for
salaries, general maintenance, sup
plies and equipment for two years
~TCut 1T down." says the governor
Tt is too much-far too much; per-
haps twice as much as needed Cut
IT way down.
But when asked to specify whose
salaries should be cut, and how much
each should be cut and what items
of the maintenance funds should be
reduced or eliminated he insisted
this was the work of the committee
Six thousand dollars for two years
of summer school he thought should
be eliminated. He did not think it
necessary to finish and extend the
heating plant and building for which
$4,000 is asked.
For repairing, refiooring, rewriting,
papering and painting
the administration building, the
board recommends $25OO The gov
ernor says it is too much.
Next comes the item "for staining
roofs and exterior metal work of
Lewis hall, home economics build
ings, cement walks on campus con-
Meeting buildings, enlarging dining
room and laundry in Lewis hall and
extension of water mains on campus
and repairs incidental thereto,
s7741." This the governor says is
too much, large part OF
he work being unnecessary, in his
opinion.
For movable houses for living
quarters for rural training courses,
'7000,' he objects to; and he says
he item of S4166 which the Normal
yves the city of Lewiston for its pro-
PORTION OF the cost of sidewalks, re-
aiming wall, parking and street i'm
in district No. 2 should

Dean Shattuck gave an interesting,
well-received, and handsomely illus

 ''I was from the first unwilling to ask
 for a supply of men in excess of the
 equipment available for them. I hold 1t
 to be most undesirable that soldiers keen

 be thus checked, and possibly discour-

 ing should be hampered owing to the lack of arms.
 We now have happily reached a period where 1t can be said that this dra wbaclS has been surmounted, and that the troops in training can be supplied with sufficient arms and material to turn out as efficient soldiers. Now we are able to clothe and equip all recruits as they come in and thus the call for men no longer is re- stricted by any limitation. "The time now has come when some thing more is required to insure the de-
