The Parma herald. (Parma, Idaho) 1903-1917, 1917-01-25

Several bills have been introduced
in the senate affecting insurance
measures.
Senator David C. Eames introduced
a joint resolution providing for sub
hitting to the voters of the state in
1918 a constitutional amendment re-
iating to the erection of county com.
mtssioners. The plan, if adopted. will
make the term of county commission
ers four years instead of two.
A bill by Goehry and Hussman
strengthens the public utilities law
and gives more extended power to the
commissioners.

Of Butte county out of territory to be
taken from Blaine, Jefferson and Bing.
ham counties. The greatest propor-
ton of the territory It is proposed to
embrace in the new county would
come from Blaine. No attempt is
made in the bill to name a county
seat for the new county.
The minority in the house is going
slow and waiting for the majority
leaders to act. That is in retarding
the introduction OF measures.

verse recommendation. A lively fight
is expected on the floor of the house
when both resolutions are taken up
for final passage.
Among the more important meas
ures introduced was a corrupt prac-
tice act in the senate, placing strin-
gent restrictions around candidates
for office, and a measure launched in
the house removing the task of ere
ating counties from the legislature.
A communication was received from
the Idaho Federation of Labor asking
for a minimum wage law for women
and an act limiting their days work
to eight hours The commissioners of
Bonner county filed protest against
a proposed bill to be introduced seek
ing to place the entire state in an
educational unit and providing that
all school taxes shall be levied and
collected by the state and apportioned
among the several counties according
to the number of school children in
each county.
Representative Kiger introduced a
constitutional amendment seeking to
pay the salaries of state officials
monthly instead of quarterly. Repre-
sentative Holman introduced a bill
cutting down the interest rate to be
paid the state on logged-off state
land to 2 per cent. Another measure !
OF importance provides for the ap- |
pointment of a code commissioner |
by the supreme court to codify the |
laws. The Clark's fork bridge bill |
asks for an appropriation of $4,000
to be spent in Bonner county.

ment fulfill the expectation that men
entering any branch of our military
service will have the amplest opportu-
nifty of promotion.
Thus far, in the enlargement OF the
national guard and regular army and
the organization of the national army,
great numbers of officers have been
taken from the civilian training camps.
1t has been decided that after the COM
pletion of the courses now in progress
in the officers training camps no more
commissions will be given to civilians
All future officers will be selected from
men already in the ranks
1t is within the power, therefore, Of
any private soldier to win whatever ad-
vancement his zeal and talent deserve
There is literally no limit If the war
lasts long, it is possible that men don

may emerge from the conflict with the
rank Of general and with names that
will live in history.
There is TO be a systematic effort
made TO pick out those most capable OF
command. In every divisional camr
there will be school for embryo Off

perts, aided by French and British Off

country is greater than his love for
James X. Vardanan. He thinks more
Of the American flag than Of the Black
Eagle of Germany, under which Varda-
man is taking refuge. And he declares
his independence and his loyalty in the
following paragraph that is calculated
to jar Jim Vardamans back teeth:
"The Record has stood by Vardaman
when it believed he was right, and has
stood by him for years, but it certainly
will not stand by him when he goes
wrong, as he has in this instance. Just
how one can be true to his country and
approve OF such utterances is beyond

GORE AND HIS CONSTITUENTS

Kansas City STAR The appeal of some
Senator Gore, asking him to resign. will
not of course, affect the senator. Prob
ably ne would not resign If a majority
of his constituents asked him to, or even
practically all Of them. Senator Gore
seems to be having a good time just
now. giving all the encouragement he
can to the enemies Of his country.
good many people, the country
over, have been surprised and greatly
disappointed at Senator Cores conduct.
They did not believe it possible that he
entertained sentiments Of disloyalty to
the government. And what Is so disap
pointing to his old.time friends outside
of Oklahoma must be particularly dis
tressing and annoying TO his consttu-
ents. The senator appears to be, in
spirit at least, in hearty, accord with
the draft resisters of his state-and is
in position to do much more harm
than they.
The demand from four or five hun.
dred citizens from one community in
his state calling for his resignation,
ought, at least, to let the senator know
that there is some feeling at home over
| his course in the senate. 1t ought, also.
to cause some concern to the group Of
senators that Mr.. Gore has aligned him.
self with, who are doing all they can
to hamper the government In its war
with Germany.
The American people are long suffer
ing and patient with statesmen in
Washington. They have become ac
customed to Misrepresentation, one way
and another, from the politicians, that
it requires time to bring protests
against their public conduct to light
But if the pacifist senators like Gore
make the mistake Of believing that this
long suffering and patience means that
the people are as disoyal as the sen
ators, then they are due for a big sur
urise.
If Senator Gore believes the people
of Oklahoma are on the side of Ger
many, let him follow the advice Of his
constituents and resign. Then let hin
make the race for reelection on IN,
public understanding that he will con
tinue to stab his country in the bacl
at every opportunity. II Oklahoma re
elects him on that issue the country
will not be able to criticize the senator
for the double act of betraying both IN,
government and his constituents.
At least, he owes 1t TO his constitu
ents to allow them TO pass upon hi
conduct in some way. He was electe
to the present term on the under
standing that he was an American s.
were the other pacifist senators.
