Application of the Former
Treasurer Will Not Be
Considered Until Return
of Secretary of State.
WARDEN PRESENT;
GOVERNOR STAYS
No Outward Evidence of
Feeling Such as Was De-
noted at Recent Meeting
of Another State Board.

The application for parole made by
O. V. Allen. former state treasurer of
Idaho, now serving a term in the
penitentiary for embezzlement of pub
lie funds, will not be considered un-
til there is full membership of the
board present. Secretary of State
Barker was absent from the meeting
yesterday The attorney general asked
that the case be put over after a brief
had been submitted by counsel for
Allen, wherein it is contended that the
former treasurer is eligible for parole,
having served more than the minimum
of his sentence.
The sentence passed upon Allen in
the district court is attacked on the
grounds that a five-year minimum
should not have been given him, but
instead he should have been given an
indcterminate sentence OF from / to IA
years.
COURT INCREASED MINIMUM.
When Allen pleaded guilty in the dis
trict court for Ada county he was
sentenced to serve from to 10 years,
the court exercising the right to in
crease the MINIMUM to five years.
| Allen has been i'll the penitentiary for
the past two years. This il the first
time that he has asked any of the
boards governing the penitentiary for
! leniency.
| The members of the board of parole
present at the meeting yesterday
afternoon were of the opinion that the
law makes it necessary for Allen to
serve the minimum of his sentence
before he becomes eligible for parole.
WARDEN AND GOVERNOR.
Warden John Shook of the peniten-
tlary was present at the board meet
ing, but there was no outward sign
| of ill feeling between the governor and
the warden. The Allen case was given
considerable attention. The governor
holds that the prisoner must serve the
minimum of the sentence passed be-
fore his ease can be considered.
| MAY BE TEST CASE.
1t was strongly intimated at the
meeting that a test case may be in
stituted in the supreme court on be-
halt of Allen, the contention to be that
| under the law he has served the mini
mum of the sentence the court could
impose upon him or one instead OF
i've years. The case will be copsid =
cred again when Secretary of State
Barker returns from the north, which

PROVISION FOR GOOD ROADS.


"All forecasts appear to he, that If
the United States can remain at peace,
we will, during the next few years ex-
perience Il most wonderful era of in
dustrial and commercial activity. and
with it will come n widespread develr
opment of state and national high
ways. Idaho. in common with neigh
boring states, ought and | believe will.
do her full share IN, providing means
for the building and maintenance of
good roads. The last session of con-
gress appropriated $4,000 600 for good
roads, $10000.000 of which will be ex-
pended in building roads in the forest
reserves and in the national parks
THE balance will be apportioned
among the various states, and Idaho
will receive as her share nearly
$1,000.000. OF this amount we will re-
ceiye approximately 100000 in 1917,
and $4,000 in 1918, but in order that
these amounts shall be set aside for
the buildings of roads in the state II
similar amount must be provided by
the state. The legislature will be called
npon to provide the necessary appro-
priations TO meet the federal require
ments. IL we as n state can, in sub
stance, secure for road development
a dollar from the federal government
for every dollar we ourselves spend,
it's a good investment. Under the
careful direction of the state highway
commission there can be no doubt
about the judicious expenditure of
these funds. Good roads mean high
er farm values and more business for
our merchants and commercial inter
ests"

FOR STATE INSTITUTIONS

Our state educational institutions
are or ought to be the special pride of
every citizen of the state, and there
can be no doubt but that the legisla-
.ture will take care of their respective
needs by adequate appropriations for
their general maintenance, and that
proper provision will be made for such
needed improvements and buildings as
the growth of the respective institu-
lions seem to require. The population
and wealth of Idaho Is increasing by
leaps and bounds an simultaneously
there has been a parallel increase in
the number of students availing them
selves of the advantages of our state
schools.
Increased enrollments require addi-
tional housing facilities and added
equipment If the best and most effec-
tive results are To be attained The
Legislature will make adequate proVi-
sion for these needs, and such sums
will. in my opinion, be set aside for
these schools as we can consistently
afford and those institutions seem to
REQUIRE"
