Indebtedness Contracte d
After Department Appro-
priations Are Exhausted
Are Declared to Be Null
and Void.
STATE LAW PLAIN
SAYS EXECUTIVE
Legislative Hall to Have No
Embellishments, as There
Is No Money in the Capt.
toll Building Fund-No
Way to Avoid Situation.

Rills contracted for by state depart
ments or state officials, beyond their
present appropriations, are null and
void. according to a statement Issued
by Governor Alexander today. Warn
ing Is given that the law is plain on
this matter. 1t is done so that officials
and departments will be cognizant of
the situation and those seeking con
tracts or to whom contracts are leu
will also appreciate it.
There is a new administration to ne
inaugurated Jan. !, 1917, and contracts
made now, intended to be binding upon
that administration, will fail TO re-
ceive the approval of the governor. no
statute is found to confer authority for
binding contracts that overstep appro-
priations.
CANNOT BE PAID.
ANY BILL" said the governor, CON
tracted in my opinion, beyond the
present appropriation made by the leg
islature two years ago. no matter who
makes it. is null and void.
THE law is plain on this matter, ana
! hope that no indebtedness or con-
tracts for any materials or work to
be performed or executed for the state
will be made and thereby put the peo-
pie furnishing such material in such
position where they cannot get any
pay. and the parties doing the WORK
for the state ought to take cognizance
of the Interpretation of the law and
protect themselves accordingly.
This applied to all contracts sought
TO be made by officials or members OF
this administration which are intend
I'd to be binding upon the incoming
administration, whether for printing
contracts and supplies, carpets for leg
islative halls. or any other purpose
whatsoever, and all alike will fail to
receive my approval"
NO AUTHORITY GIVEN.
The governor declared he would not
counsel, aid or advise the buying of one
dollars worth of material unless the
money is in sight.
The legislative hall will not have
new carpets or any new embellishments
this season." he continued. The cap
itol building board consisting of the
governor, secretary of state and treas
urer, met a few days ago at the Of
flee of the state treasurer to look over
samples of carpets submitted by the va
rious dealers of Boise, with a view
to putting new carpets in the senate
and house chambers of the old capt.
toll building.
THE secretary of state raised the
question of our right to contract in
debtedness FOR the incoming legislature
and administration, and it was then
and there unanimously decided that
there is no such authority existing for
the board or any officer of the state to
contract one dollars worth of indebt-
edness beyond the current appropria-

MOODY ORDERED
TO THE BORDER
Adjutant General Informs
the War Department That
It Will Be Impossible for
Him to Leave.

Adjudant General c. S. Moody was
today ordered by the surgeon general
of the United States war department
to report for active duty with the med
ical corps on the Mexican border. He
wired to the war department that it is
impossible for him to report. He is
the only one now in charge of the adj
jutant generals department, Major
Burns and Captain CARRIER having left
recently for Nogaes to spend some
time checking the regmental prop
erty. All officers of the Second Ida
ho regiment are also on duty at the
border.
In addition Adjutant General Moody
is a member elect to the new legisla-
ture. He is likewise a candidate for
speaker of the next house of repre-
sentatives. SO far he has no opposi-
ton and it does not now appear that
he will have any within his own party,
the majority that will control the next
legislature.
CAME AS A SURPRISE.
The order to report for duty on the
border came as somewhat of a sur
Prise. General Moody is on the active
service medical corps list and has been
for some time. At the adjutant gen.
erals office no particular significance
was attached to the order insofar as
indicating active service in the part of
the troops in Mexico is concerned.
Il cannot possibly report at this
time" said General Moody today, and
l have wired the war department to
that effect"

CAN ALSO
SERVE IN SENATE

A presidential elector may also be a
state senator in Idaho.
IL was learned on excellent author
ity that this Is the conclusion that has
been reached by the attorney generals
department and it will instruct the
auditor of Madison county to issue u
certificate of election to Senator elect
John f.. Pincock. He will also be
recognized as a Democratic presiden-
tial elector and receive a certificate
of election from the secretary Of state.
The duties of the two offices do not
interfere with each other. The cleo
toral college meets in December. The
legislature docs no. meet until the
january following. 1t is said to be on
these grounds that Mr.. Pncock can
serve in both offices, under the ruling
that will be made by the attorney
general.
DUTIES DO NOT CONFLICT.
Senator elect Pincock defeated Nath-
an Kicks, one of the prominent RepSb-
licah leaders in the southeast who
went down under the Democratic
landslide Nov. :. Attention was first
called to the fact that Mr. Pincock
had been elected both senator and
presidential elector by the Capital
News and it was stated at that time
that as the duties of the two offices do
not conflict, he could probably serve in
both of them.
Al least one of the four Democratic
presidential electors will go to Wash
ington and attend the electoral college,
which will cast the vote formally re-
electing President Wilson Harry J..
Day it is said in political circles. will
go east in December on business. The
other two are Frank Martin of Boise
and David L. Evans of Malad. They,
too, may decide to go to Washington.
There is possibility all four electors
from Idaho may make the trip.

MEMBERS ELECT TO
HOLD CONFERENCE
Invited to Lewiston During
Livestock Show to Con-
slider Legislative Matters
With Special Reference to
the Interests Of Northern
Idaho.

A general call has been issued for a
meeting of the members elect to the
next legislature to be held at Lewis
ton during the Northwest Livestock
show and the Ada county delegation
will he represented by one or more Of
it's members The purpose of the con-
ference is to secure an expression from
members elect to the legislature in
support of program to secure appro-
prations for the livestock show, for a
state fair at Boise and a pure seed
show at Pocatello.
Other legislative problems will be
taken up during the conference, par
ticularly with reference to legislation
of benefit to the northern part of the
state.
MANY MEMBERS TO ATTEND.
The Lewiston gathering will be the
first In which members to the new
legislature will participate. 1t may
have an important bearing on the Or
ganization of both branches of the next
legislature. AS many of the members
elect from the southern portion of the
state who can possibly attend are
planning to do so.
The combination appropriation plan
to care for the three shows as now
tentatively formed calls for the crea-
ton of a board to be composed of the
governor, horticultural inspector, state
veterinarian, director of farm markets
and others to oversee the expenditure
of any funds that are appropriated and
to assist in the management of the
three shows. However, there are u
number of other plans on foot which
call for independent management and
straight appropriations to be used for
the single support of each institution
and no other.
Certificates of election will soon be
in the hands of all members elect to
the legislature and after that gener-
ally caucusing will take place. There
is so far but one announced candidate
for speaker in Adjutant General Moody
and no announced aspirant for presi-
dent pro tenn Of the senate. Either
Senator Rockwell of Blaine or Senator
Randall of Lewiston will be the minor
