reconsideration of the immigration
bill which the house passed last night
over the presidents veto was blocked
in the senate by Reed of Missouri.
but an agreement was reached To

lines were ignored in the fight, Re-
publicans and Democrats being al
most equally divided on either side.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.-Japan's
representations against Oregon and
Idaho bills, although made informally
through the embassy here, are con
sidered no less serious at this criti-
cal juncture than the protests against
the California laws four years ago.
The state department had kept the
entire affair quiet until an appeal
was made to congressman to prevent
action. The feeling in Japan, aroused
by the recent crisis in the govern
ment, is said to be so serious that
statesmen fear the passage OF laws
directed against Japan may force the
situation beyond control.

Shorter Ballot.
For the shorter ballot, and to avoid
changing elective to appointive Of
fcers, Governor Neville suggests that
at the 1918 election all~ officers be
elected for four years. This would
make state and national elections al
ternate, and would materially shorten
the ballot in presidential years, He
would further shorten the ballot by
emitting the names of the presidential
electors, having these chosen by party
conventions, TO serve in case of the
presidential candidates of their re-
spective party receiving plurality.
For the Schools.
He also recommends that university
regents, state and county superin-
tendents and all other elective school
officers be put on nonpartisan basis.
Also that appropriations should be
made for the development, mainte-
nance and the support of all educa-
tional institutions, including rural high
schools and consolidated schools,
which have been authorized by pre-
vious legislation"
Irrigation Needs.
Irrigation gets attention in the sug-
gcstion that there should be the
greatest possible cooperation be-
tween the State Board of Irrigation,
Highways and Drainage, and the
United States Reclamation service"
This can be done by authorizing the
state engineer to employ two men to
gauge and measure the North Platte
river from the Wyoming line to Elm

to be met by a tax extending over a
number of years. The slightly in
creased cost of building piccemcal
would be more than offset by the re-
duccd cost OF building material when
prices return to normal"
National Guard Support,
The National Guard is warmly
praised for its response to the call Of
the president, and the legislature is
urged to give thoughtful consider
alton to the recommendations OF the
states military department and enact
such legislation as may be necessary
to maintain the guard in reasonable
state of efficiency"
1t is recommended that the supreme
court commission be continued, and
that hotel commission be consolidated
with the pure food and drug depart
ment.
Good Roads Measures.
Good roads are favored by Gov
ernor Neville, but ANY plan adopted
should be inaugurated on conserva-
tive scale There must be some
responsible state body through which
the good roads fund would be dis
tributed This body should coop
crate with the county authorities and
act in an advisory capacity with refer.

such road construction should be
borne equally by the counties and by
the federal government. In instances
where the roads constructed connect
county seats, thereby facilitating in

should be given, the cost being borne
one-third by the county, one-third by
the state and one-third by the federal
