SENATE FAYORS PLAN TO
CHANGE SUPREME COURT
Whitcomb Measure Providing Terms at Moscow,
PocateIlo and Boise Instead of Lewiston and
Coeur d'Alene Recommended for Passage

BOISE, March 2.-The senate rec
commended for passage yesterday the
Whitcomb measure giving to Moscow,
Boise and PocatellO terms of the SUI
preme court and eliminating terms of
said court at Lewiston and Occur
d'Alene The bill has been amended,
substituting Lewiston for Moscow.
This bill was adopted only after
strenuous debate wherein there were
many charges and counter charges
of selfish interests being involved.
Practically all the northern senators
fought the bill Senators Nelson Of
Kootenai and Kinsolving of Beuewah
fought the bill to the last.
Our calendar in Occur dAlene is
now two years behind said Senator
Kinsolving, land if the court is taken
away from there is will be much fur
ther behind We pay in five counties
% per cent of the taxes OF the state
and are entitled to some consideration.
Senator Nelson explained that that
section of the state was separate and
apart from the other section sur
rounding Lewiston and there would
be great hardship and expense in
making the court at Lewiston.
The two senators repeatedly said
they would favor term at Pocatello
even if the court were left at Occur
dAlene, but this uggestion was not
accepted, certain senators saying that
the supreme court could not possibly
be placed on wheels and carted all
over the state"
In order to bring quicker action on
bills the senate adopted rule that
but five minutes can be used by each
member speaking for or against a
measure.

heads strongly intimated that moth

future. 1t was declared on all sides
that Hawaii had performed a full

reason existed for going farther at

realized that any considerable reduc'
