MEMBERS COMPLAIN
OF LOBBY ACTIVITY

1t has been said by third house mem
bers that not for years has there been
such a heavy lobby conducted on the
outskirts of the legislature as during
the present session One reason as
signed for this Is the large number
of county division bills that appeared
in both houses. Another is the i'm
portance of some OF the legislation that
is pending, including the workmen's
compensation act.
That the lobby must not venture to
the floor of the house of representa-
tives, however, was made plain by the
speaker of the house just before that
assembly adjourned last night for he
instructed the sergeant-at arms to ar
rest any person caught lobbying in
the chambers or, for that matter, In
the hall adjacent to the chambers.
One of the members complained to
the speaker that he had been con-
fronted by man lobbying for bill
on the chamber floor and had informed
him that II he persisted he would
lodge complaint against him. Au-
thority is vested in the speaker to fine
those accused and found guilty of i'm
proper lobbying.

PORTNEUF COUNTY
BILL WITHDRAWN
FROM THE SENATE

The fight to create the new county
of Portneuf out of Bannock county,
with Downey as the county seat, has
been called off. Senator Cummings
withdrew the Portneuf county division
bill yesterday afternoon. 1t is said
that four senators who had been
counted on to support the bill were
now against it and there was little
likelihood of 1t being passed.
The Portneuf county bill pasted the

ing the bill had been taken the measure
was not in the possession of the senate,
but had been transmitted to the house.
Rather than run the risk of technical
itfes, a new bill was introduced. 1t

GERMANY AND JAPAN CITED.

Anderson of Canyon county spoke
for the bill, referring particularly to it's
necessity when tie United States was
at breaking point with Germany.
Kribs of Shoshone also supported 1t.
referring to the constant friction be-
tween the west and Japan. Storey of
Ada attacked the bill on the grounds
it was unAmerican. He declared his
opposition to compulsory military
training and held that it was because
of great standing armies civilization in
Europe has been submerged. In reply
Bates OF Ada and Moody took storey
to task for attempting to argue that
unframed men were as likely to be fit
for service as trained men, Moody
pointing out the great number Of
deaths from disease through the iR-
norance of unframed men taken into
military camps. Grice was refused per-
mission to speak again on the bill and
appealed from the decision of the chair.
Finally by unanimous consent he was
allowed to speak and IL was then that

PRESIDENT OF GENERAL
ELECTRIC co. COMING

On his way to the Orient, presuma-
bly, to launch some large project, E.
w. Rice, Jr., president OF the General
Electric Co, the largest corporation
OF its kind in the United States, will
arrive in Honolulu this week. The
exact date of his coming is not GER
tain, but it will probably be Wednes,
day. The purpose OF Mr.. RiCe's trip
to the Orient Is not known and local
representatives of the General Electro
Co. have only the cable message to
the effect that he will pass through
1t is presumed that the General
Electric Co. is planning extension OF
its field to the Orient on large scale
This supposition is borne out by the
fact that the company recently voted
to offer a new issue of $10000,0GU OF
year per cent coupon gold notes.
When offered investors in the East
snatched them up greedily, for beyond
these notes the only debt of the COM
panY is represented by $12,041, 500 de-
bentures and $15,000,000 notes. The
company has paid cash dividends Oh
its st1ck at the rate Of per cent per
annum for the last fifteen years,
which indicates its solidity. Net earn.
ings available for interest in 1916
amounted to more than 80 times The
company's interest requirements.
The issue of $10,000,000 In short
term notes is taken to indicate hat
the COMPANY is planning extensions Of
it's field Of operations and the visit Of
Mr.. Rice 10 the Orient appears to be
significant.

no doubt about that. Most of them
were gently but firmly taken by the
scuff of the neck and kicked out
and the specific charge against these
expelled members, was not as the
Capitalist papers would like to have
you believe, a fundamental difference
in principles to be persued during the
world war, but was based upon an
ovart act of treason. The charges
were based upon a clause in the
constitution Of the Socialist Party; q
clause which these same defaulting
members helped to create and sub
scribed to during their sojourn in
the ranks Of the party. Remember
this when Judas betrayed Christ he
got his thirty pieces Of silver from
the ruling class Of his time, but his
tory in its merciless statements Of
facts has not failed to place his
name in the scroll where it belongs.
These men who have "left"(?) the
Socialist Party have been received
with open arms and great sobs of un-
adulterated JOY by the other crowd,
and the other crowd is welcome to
each and every one of them. BY the
great amount Of space they are get
ting in Capitalist newspapers and the
long laudatory editorials they are
favored with at the hands of bought
and-paid for editors, gives US a true
estimate Of their status among the
working class of this country. Meal
ticket writer's and cash register
heroes have no place in the ranks
Of the Socialist Party. Lick spittle
invertebrates belong under the law
of social gravity in the same class
with the editor of such papers as the
Spokane Review. There is no place
for them among those heroic and
rebellious souls, who are fighting
against the power and corruption of
Mammon to make the world safe
for humanity.

NEW YORK-Prof. Scott Nearing,
member OF the newly elected cXecu-

persons said to be agents Of the
