PROPOSAL MADE.

| PROPOSAL MADE.
Senator Harding of Oneida county
first proposed that a general consolid-
alton program for the state educational
Institutions be worked out. He was
followed by Representative Storey OF
Ada county, for number of sessions
member of the legislature, who in
uorsed the plan. Senator jackson of
Bonner county first suggested that
the University of Idaho be given
a more central location, where eli
matte conditions would be more fav-
orable. Other members of the COM
mittee Joined In the discussion. No
definite action was taken
The primary purpose of the Joint
conference was to ascertain the needs
of the several institutions. Later n
conference was held with the appro-
priations committee of the house by
tho board regarding the budgets for
the several institutions under It's con-
troll which have to be revised owing
to the limitation of the bonded In
debtedness of the state. Later a con-
ference will be held with the governor
before the budgets are agreed to.
MAY INTRODUCE BILL.
Senator Harding will probably in
troduce a bill this week in the legis-
lature having to do with the state in
sttutions. 1t may provide for aban-
donment of the Albion normal and its
consolidation with the Idaho Techni-
cal Institute at Pocatello.
The argument advanced In favor of
the consolidation plan was that the
extreme distance from one end of the
state to the other for students to at
tend the University of Idaho was
drawback to the growth of that In
stitution and that therefore more
central location was desired. together
with climate more favorable than
that of the north. For that reason
1t was suggested that the university
be located In the southwestern part
of the state which enjoys a mildsr
climate than the north.
BOISE SUGGESTED.
Boise was suggested because It IL the
recognized central geographical loca-
tion in the state. With the university
here, II was said 1t would be possi-
BILE for students from all parts of
Idaho to reach the university much
easier than Is now the case. Be-
cause of the location of the university
In the north, 1t Is said, many stu
dents who could attend but live in
the southeast, go to nearby neighbor-
ing states to secure a higher educa-
tion.
Because the university buildings are
more extensive and valuable than
those Of the state normal for the north
located at Lewiston. It was suggested
that the normal be abandoned at Low
iston and that it be e-established at
Moscow in the university buildings.
This plan would atill l.eep a normal

despite fearful losses and, Judging
from French reports tonight, with prac-
tically no gain as counter attacks ap-
peared to have swept the Germans
back. All day today there was a vio-
tent artillery duel between both sides.
ANOTHER SMASH EXPECTED.
