FIVE NEW COUNTIES
ARE CREATED

The senate added the fifth new
county to the rapidly growing list
Thursday afternoon when it
passed the Payette county enabl-
ing act which submits the di-
vision of Canyon county to a vote
of the people in the new territory
and names Payette as the cOun-
ty seat. Payette county is said
to be as good as created today.
That the senate saw merit in its
creating is evident from the fact
there was hardly dissenting
vote against it.
The legislative record on new
counties created, so far made this
section, brings into being no less
than five-Canas and Butte out
.of Blaine and Bingham counties:
Valley out of northern Boise and
southern Idaho; Portneuf out of
BannOck and Payette out of Can
yon. There are still on the wait
ing list Nampa, Selway and Bull,
all three enabling acts.
Senator Evans introduced an
amendatory primary bill that is
holding the attention of the up
Iper house. 1t allows the present
law to stand as to the nomination
of county candidates but changes
it as to the manner in which
state candidates are to be nom
mated. The bill provides that
at the county primaries dele
gates to state conventions shall
be elected and these delegates
shall later meet and nominate
candidates for state Office. A re-
vised corrupt practice act was
filed. State Treasurer Eagle
sons amortization plan for LONG
time loans of endowment funds
was. also introduced.

TRAGEDY RECALLED BY
BY PASSAGE OF BILL


The house has passed a bill
which wildly recalls a tragedy
in the life of one of its members.
Representative Lawrence Han
sen, the dean in age of the lower
house. 1t requires railroads to
place warnings at crossings so
as to prevent accidents. Just i8
months ago the wife of the vet
eran member of the house and
his two daughters were killed at
a railroad crossing I'm Twin Falls
county. When the bill passed
there was not a dissenting vote
against it, the three railroad men
in the house, Lehrbas, Grice and
Lewis, speaking for it.
Grice, who is a railroad en-
gineer on the Chicago, Milwau-
kee & st, Paul railroad, fatty de-
clared the bill was one of the
best introduced. in the present
Legislature and would be a great
relief to engineers.

BENEFITS OF THE
FARM LOAN ACT

By reason of the facilities Gre
ated by the Federal farm loan act
which was passed last summer it
will be easier in the future for a
farmer to secure money to make
needed Improvements or for the
purchase of live stock and it will
be easier also for the landless
man to purchase a farm, accord
ing to a recent publication of the
United States Department of Ag-
riculture Farmers Bulletin 1927
entitled How the Federal Farm
Loan Act Benefits the Farmer"
The Federal land banks es-
Established under this act will
stand ready at all times to lend
money to farmers on farm-mOrt-
gage security. The interest
charges will not be more than 6
per cent. There will be no COM
missions or bonuses. The loans
will be made for periods Of time
ranging from to 40 years, thus
doing away with the trouble and
expense of frequent renewals.
The payment of a certain part
of the principal annually or semi
annually, with the interest, will
be required. The total payment,
including the interest will be the
same for each year and will be
just large enough so that the
entire principal will be paid off
at the end of the period. The
annual payment thus required to
pay off a loan of $1,000, with in
forest at 5 per cent, in 20 years,
is SsO.24.
After a loan has run 5 years
the borrower will be permitted to
pay off the whole amount, if he
desires, on any interest date, OF
to make partial payments in adj
dition to the regular installment
The privilege of optional pay
ments after the first 5 years
leaves the borrower free to dis
charge his Indebtedness before
1.-THE end of the loan period, if he
finds it convenient to do so.
Mortgages will be exempt
from all forms Of taxation.

Senator Shepherd is a mer-
chant. He was afraid that the
innocent might be made to suffer
through the sale of adulterated
gasoline to Ford owners and
others. His contention was that
the merchant or salesman, who
innocently sold misbranded oils
should not be subjected to a pen
atty, but that the law should be
made to reach those who did the
misbranding. Unfortunately the
senate found that it was handi-
capped by not being able to leg
islate beyond the confines Of Ida
no where most of the branding is
done.

Delay in Decision.
Declaring that the rank and file
of the brotherhood membership and
become impatient and would tolerate
no further delay in enforcing their
demands, Mr.. Lee said the supreme
court might adjourn without hand
ing down a decision on the Adamson
act. In that event, he declared, there
would be no decision until next win
ter, and the men would not wait.
Managers Would Abide.
The managers refusal to comply
with the ultimatum of the brother
hoods was based upon the contention
that they must "await and abide" by
the decision of the supreme court on
the AdamsOn act.
They assert their willingness to
submit the whole controversy to the
eight-hour commission If the law is
declared unconstitutional and agree
to accept any decree of the commits
sion.

The managers estimate that be-
tween 10000 and 10000 men are en-
ployed on the roads on which the
strike is to begin tonight.
The members of the managers
committee will remain hese until to-
day. If the men ask another confer
ence it will be granted. They said
they would make every effort to op-
crate their roads in spite of the
strike. Preference will be given to
the movements of trains carrying
food and fuel.
Tired of Arbitration.

ter proposition at the final momen-
