REGISTRATION FOR
ELECTION is URGED
Friends of the Bonds Want All Eligible
to Get on Books Before They are
Closed.

Public interest in the forthcoming
waterworks bond election to be held
in this city, February 3rd, is growing
and the subject is discussed among
the voters on the streets and else
where. The registration books are
now open at the office of the city
clerk and the hope is quite generally
expressed that those qualified to cast
ballots in the election will be do
ing their shopping early and get their
names on the books before they close
the eve of the election.
Only taxpayers are qualified yot-
ers in this election.
At a special meeting of the council
called Monday evening for that pur-
pose H. E. Rounds was appointed
deputy city clerk and registrar to take
the place of City Clerk Reese M. Will
liams during the absence of the lat

EMERGENCY LAW IS
Unconstitutional
Supreme Court Hands Down Decision
Saturday Which Renders it In0p-
eratiye.

The supreme court late Saturday
handed down a decision declaring the
emergency employment act unconsti-
tutional The ground on which the
decision was based, was the alleged
failure of the title to adequately des-
cribe the purpose of the act and the
provision in the law, which required
that part of the money received for
state taxes should be held by the sew
eral counties for the purpose of de-
fraying the expense incurred in car
rying out the provisions of the act.
This last provision is declared to be
in direct violation of the provisions Of
the state constitution.
The law provided that any citizen
of the United States and of Idaho, on
the filing of an affidavit that he was
worth not to exceed $1,000 and that
he could not obtain other employment
should be employed by the county, out
of joint fund from revenues of the
county and state, for a period not
to exceed 60 days in any one year.
The commissioners of Ada county
refused to make the required appro-
priation for carrying out the provi-
sions of the act, claiming that the
county had no money on hand for the
purpose, and the action was brought
to determine the constitutionality of
the act as a result of this stand.

POSTOFFICF TO
BE FIRST-CLASS
Figures For Past Year Fore
shadows Raise.
INCREASE IN RE-
CRIPTS is SHOWN
Change in Class VIII Take Place July
First if Average Keeps Up Three
Months Longer.

That the Twin Falls postoffice is
destined to go into the first class at
the beginning of the fiscal year be-
ginning July l, 1916, is evident from
the fact that the postal receipts dur
ing the last period of 12 months are
in excess of the $4,000 required to
boost it out of the second class The
rating for the next fiscal year will be
based on totals to March 81 The to-
tai receipts for the year ending De-
cember 81, 1915, were $40,939.24,
against a total of $33,5026S for the
year ending December 81, 1914; gain
|of $7,436.56. A corresponding gain
for the next three months will place
the total in the neighborhood of S42,-
500. 1t is probable that the gain will
be even greater than it was during the
past six months, as the new industries
that are planned will inevitably result
in great gain to the city which will
be reflected in the postal receipts

POSTOffICf PLAN
NOT SATISFACTORY
Commercial Club Managers and 9th
ers May Protest Against Uncle
Sans Idea.

Photographs of the proposed plan
of the postofice building, which ar
rived in this city Monday from the
department at Washington, are de-
clared unsatisfactory by many people
in the city, who are interested in hav-
ing the structure erected on artistic
lines, in keeping with the public edi-
fices of Twin Falls. Some time ago
the Comemrcial club selected one of
three designs sent for inspection by
the department. 1t had big artistic
columns up in front like an old time
colonial Southern home, and it was
thought that the taste of the organiza-
ton would appeal to the sentiment of
the postmaster general whose home is
in the Lone Star State" The de-
sign sent back by the department has
trimmed off all the "curlicues" and
makes the proposed building look as
solemn as a mausoleum. 1t was sug-
gested that the postmaster general
or subordinates decided to substitute
for the original, another form of ar
chitecture popularity used in the con-
struction of cotton or tobacco ware
houses. 1t is suggested by those who
claim to know that the postmaster
general has nothing to do with tue
thing personally.
1t is thought likely that a protest
will be forwarded to the department
asking that it reconsider its determin-
alton in the matter and adopt the de-
sign selected by the commercial club
