Important Ruling Made by
Judges Mccarthy and
Davis in Case Involving
Arrests Made in Ada
County.
LAWS CONFLICTING
AND INCONSISTENT
Transportation of Liquor
Not Illegal Unless it Is
Shown to Have Been for
Beverage Purposes.

That the mere possession of liquor is
not prohibited under the state wide
prohibition law, nor the transportation
of liquor unless shown that it was
transported for beverage purposes, was
IN brief the holding of both Judge Carl
Davis and Judge C. P. Mccarthy this
morning when both judges sustained
the demurrers in the three liquor cases
In which both possession and trans
portation of liquor was charged in the
information The prosecuting attorney
was granted 10 days in which to file
an amended complaint
The defendants in the liquor cases
were w. r. McKeeth, whose case was
before Judge Davis and r. ]. Stillwell
ana Evelyn Ferguson and Vincente Bill
boa and r. B. Howard, whose cases
We're before Judge c. P. Mccarthy. All
were arrested by the officials from the
shcriffs office and liquor was found in
their possession.
DEMURRER SUSTAINED.
Both judges held that the informa-
ton contained two distinct charges
one for having liquor in possession
and the other for transporting liquor
and they sustained the demurrer to
the complaint for citing two separate
charges in one information.
Judge Davis in the w. r. McKeeth
case held that the statewide prohibi-
ton law superseded all other laws
wherever that law is inconsistent with
other statutes. That law expressly
makes other laws applicable and OPP
erative for the enforcement thereof.
but provides that the manufacture.
disposal and transportation of intoxi-
eating liquors for beverage purposes
Is prohibited in the state of Idaho"
STATUTE INCONSISTENT.
The mere possession is not prohib-
tied, nor the transporting unless it is
as stated, transported for beverage
purposes This provision is incon-
sistent with other statutes since mere
possession, or transporting" are
offenses under other statutes. but are
not under the statewide law which
made Ada county dry.
There are three distinct laws dealing
with the transporting of liquor and
having it in ones possession and these
statutes differ in various counties, for
instance, county which voted dry.
under local option election. can
prosecute under a different statute
which expressly deals with LIQUOR
transportation in such counties. al

law dealing with Illegal handling of

ton came after a session with a large
delegation of settlers headed by Sem
ator Dow Dunning of Wickahoney.
Some time ago the board paase a re-
solution directing the register to no
tify the ia 'mers in the district to pay
water assessments for 1856 or give
up their lands. The settlers asked
for hearing declaring they were not
financially able to meet the obliga-
tons nd will not be until they can
raise another crop They rent the
lands from the state and pay | lease
of 20 cents an acre.
When the board ~onveneC and for
some time thereafter the settlers re-
presented it was their intention to
purchase the lands they now lease,
from the state when a sale is held.
They objected to paying water rentals
on the grounds that to do so would ne
cessitate paying the rentals a second
time when they purchased the lands.
The water rentals and assessments for
the past two years amounted to $5.25
and other assessments made the total
about $40 per acre. The state has in
the past been paying water rentals
through an appropriation made by the
legislature.
The governor and members of the
board gave the settlers to understand
it is very doubtful if the Iext legs-
lature would be asked to make an APP
preparation for assessments, but that
the farmers would be given every OPP
portunity to make good on the lands
they are workinS.

league is termed the 'Searchlight on source of very good and reliable information for Washington news papermen, too busy to keep track or the entire workings of Congress and Congressmen.

While all the social sessions are going on 1t ls ot course very difficult to attend to the nations business, and this is left to the diligence and care of a few com mitteemen, and leaders on the floor. There has never been a proper term for these members of Congress until this new adjective comes from the sanctum of the editor of the "Searchlight on Congress- A mawsh Congressman from now on will be as well stay home," the word being made up of the first letters of the words in that phrase, might as well stay home" Some of the delegation from Connecticut are highly honored by the National Voters League which in the latest edition of it's bulletin af1ixes the new adjective to their names.

Where Connecticut Leads.
(New Haven Register.)

If class outside of this state were asked to name that product in which Connecticut leads the Union, they might tiippantly answer, wooden nutmegs.' Or if they were serious, they would probably say "clocks' or 'frearms.' Perhaps it would be "brass goods.' But it is hardly likely that many members of class outside or inside this state would reply that one of Connecticut's distinctions is that 1t raises more corn to the acre than any state in the Union.
 Yet that Is one Of Connecticut's distinctions. and by no means her least, when rightly considered It is not her only proof of agricultural em1nence. Her farms pay, for in stance. Those of only two states New York and Rhode Island, pay a larger profit. Connecticut raises more rye per acre than any other state in the Union Connecticut raises more po- tatoes in proportion in her size than any other state except New York and Rhode Island, and only six states raise half as much to their size as Connecticut. Connecticut commands letter prices for her livestock than any other state in the country. and has more dairy cows for her size than any other state. Only one state, New Jersey, raises swine that are worth es much per head. Connecticut comes only fourth from the top in the value of her horses, and fairly in the front rank in aggregate value of sheep and COWS.
 There is a good showing for Con- neoticut, and not a manufactured pro- duct mentioned In aggregate, and tremendously in proportion to her size, Connecticut leads in the product of her factories. But it should es- pecially be noticed that this small state has room between the manufac- turing plants to make a very good showing in ts agricultural products. It is a showing to set many Connecticut people to thinking, and to fill many others with justified pride in the ver- satility of their state.
