Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1917-01-09

oITAL NEWS, TUESDAY,
in any manner. shape or form. except
as the present law specifically directs,
is a violation of the law Of this state
and is subject to adequate punish
nent. In view OF this decision, I 10
not deem any amendment of the stat
utes to be necessary unless In tho
opinion of the legislature an enact
ment in codified form of our various
prohibitory laws would render the
legislative meaning more clear and less
subject to dispute.
There have come to my knowledge,
however, some gross violations OF
liquor laws in different localities OF
the state where liquor Is being SNUG
ged in and sold, to the detriment Of
society and good order. The people as
a whole in all such localities are much
opposed to this Illicit traffic. Sheriffs
and prosecuting attorneys are often
negligent In their duties in such cases,
or they feel that they are too far re-
moved from localities where such vio-
4 lations occur to give them personal at
/ tention.
recommend the enactment of a law
providing that when a sheriff or prose-
cutting attorney fails in the perform
anee of his duties and failure becomes
manifest, the governor shall have the
power to suspend such officer, either
( temporarily or permanently. The more
drastic our liquor legislation Is, the
more it will please the people. Idaho
has gone dry and it will likely remain
so and every effort should be made
j to curb it's Illicit traffic which is 50
much abhorred by our people.
INCREASED LAND SALES.
1 The other amendment adopted au
thorized the sale of 100 sections of
land each year instead of % sections.
1t also received large vote. 1t pre-
sents to you Il matter that should re-
ceive some legislation to give the state
! the full benefit the people expect 70
follow from the greatly increased sale
| of lands.
WoRkMEN's COMPENSATION
! ACT.
| I also recommend the enactment of
q worimen's compensation law in ac-
cordanee with the highest ideals Of
giving adequate compensation to the
injured, and with such reasonable APP
preparation to carry it into force and
effect as is deemed wise. The last
