ADMINISTRATION DAY
IN THE LEGISLATURE
NUMBER OF MEASURES ARE
PASSED IN CARRYING OUT AD-
MiNIsTRATloN PROGRAM.
Senate Defeats Measure Repeating
the Poll Tax Law.-Two More
New Counties Created in
Idaho.

Boise, Idaho.-February % was adj
ministration day in the Legislature.
Among the administration measures
that were passed were the following:
Torren's land title act; measure Civ
ing governor power to remove for
cause subordinate employees of his
W appointees; revised FISH and
game bill as recor~9anded by the
fish and game department: authoriz-
ing state examiner to install uniform
system of accounting. Senate de-
feated the Lewis Daughters Kiner
measure repeating the poll tax law,
which has passed the house.
The senate made the Bates work
mems compensation bill, which pass
ed the house, and the Rockwell work
mems compensation bill introduced in
the senate, special orders for consid
GRAFTON. Statewide interest centers
in these bills, two of the most import
ant pending in the legislature. The
Bates bill is recognized as the labor
measure and provides for compulsory
compensation. The Rockwell bill pro
vides for elective compensation, while
opposed by the Iaboring men, is IA
vored by the employers over the
Bates act.
After a lively debate the senate
frowned down and defeated the house
bill by Moody, seeking to repeal the
statute clothing the commissioner OF
immigration, labor and statistics with
power. This is a constitutional of
flee and the senate did not think il
was wise to remove all of the laws
concerning it, regardless of the fact
there is not at the present time a
commissioner of immigration.
That the senate does not approve
of the anti-Asiatic marriage bill that
was introduced several days ago, i:
apparent from the fact that the ju
dietary committee recommended il
be not printed. Senator Atherton, it,
author, only saved the bill for thu
printer after making a strong plea t.
give it a chance for consideration
The committees report is looked upol
in legislative circles as a forecas
of its early defeat.
North and south Idaho divided hon
ors in the legislature on February q
for each received a new county fron
the house of representatives. An en-
abling act was passed to create tn
county of Selway out of part of Levi
and Idaho counties in the panhandle
and a straight county division meas
ure known as Bear River was passeI
to create another new county out o
Bannock in the southeast. The sen
ate has yet to pass its approval OF
the measures. If they r passed 81,
new counties will have been created
while three other division measures
are pending. Governor Alexande,
signed the Camas and Butte count,
