BOISE Jan. 24-An investigation

Second Idaho has received since its
return from the border by a joint
committee of the house and senate
The morning session of the legisla-
ture was occupied largely with the
consideration of this matter.
There have been four deaths in
the regiment since its return from
the border, and it is a well known
fact that the men are not getting the
care and attention they should. Com
plants have been numerous, and they
cannot he quieted by claiming that
they are the result of frenzied i'm
aginations. The barracks are not
large enough, nor designed to accom-
mOdate the number of men now quar-
tered there; fuel has been scarce
and wany of the men have contracted
severe colds; all of the rooms are
crowded, and since the men
have not been provided with extra
blankets, the windows have been kept
closed at night, and unhealthy condi-
tion has resulted. Many of the COM
panies do not serve such common lux
uries as butter and sugar at meals.
These conditions led to the intro
duction yesterday morning by the Re-
publicans of a motion requiring the
chairman of the house to appoint a
committee of five to Investigate these
matters, and report Tuesday. Former
Adjutant General Moody, now major
ity floor leader in the house, jumped
into the breach and secured a divi-
son on the question along party lines
| by moving that the motion be laid or
the table. OF the Twin Falls delega
ton, Barker and Sims voted against
the motion to table; Hansen voted il
the affirmative.
The objection to a legislative in
vestigation was based upon the fac
that the legislature has no authorit
to inquire into matters concerning
the war department.
The motion carried. OF the TwiI
Falls delegation, Hansen Democrat
voted for the motion; Barker, Repub
lican voted in the negative; whil'

SENATOR ATHERTON SUPPORTS
THE PURPOSE OF THE SIMS
IRRIGATION PROJECT BILL
The Troubles in Salmon Tract
EIOquentIy Exploited
The Responsibility Laid Upon the
State. Through Sins of Omission and
Commission, and The State Invited
to Come to the Rescue.

The senator from this county took
advantage of opportunity, the other
day, to declare in the senate that he
would support the Sims bill, or any
other measure that would protect the
settler on Carey Act projects. To
give force to his position, Senator
Atherton went at some length into
the status of the Salmon tract, which
he declared to have become a trage-
dy. Beginning with a history of the
project, together with statistics as to
the water supply, as advertised and
as actual, as quoted in the Boise pa
per, the Senator said:
"There was never a higher class
of settlers located on any land any
where in the country than those who
filed under this project. Some of
these people went onto their selec-
tions at once and built excellent two
story houses and barns and other
farm buildings, built fences and 9TH
erwise improved their holdings. But
the point is that, whether they had
only a few hundred or several thou
sand dollars, it is all lost. When I
visited that section during the cam
paign I saw II families leaving at
one time for the states of Washing
ton and Oregon, leaving behind them
everything they had in the world,
which in some instances no doubt
represented the savings of y lifetime.
"There are just two classes of peo-
pie in that country now-the ones
who had a little money but who
held onto it instead of investing it in
improvements and who are today
buying at their own price the stock,
chickens and implements of the less
fortunate man who is turning what
he has into cash in order to get away,
and those who have nothing to get
away with.
81 tell you, it is a tragedy and the
man who can go there and see the
hopeless, woebegone looks on the
faces of the women and listen to the
tales they tell of the hardships they
have endured and come away with
out tears in his eyes has harder
heart than l have.
"The original construction com
pany that built the system is now out
of existence and the bondholders are
demanding their pound of flesh.
They offer no solution to the prob
lem and it seems to me it is up tC
the state to do something to relieve
the situation and that attonce
'In my judgment, the state should
take over the project and protect th'
actual settlers. There should be
some way to do this and I would sug
gest that, as one solution, com
mission be appointed to appraise th'

PLUMBER BADLY HURT
BY STOVE EXPLOSION
Was Thawing Out Pipe When Gasolene
Stove and Water Tank Flew to
Pieces Injuries Not Permanent.

William Wall, a plumber in the en-
ploy of L. ]. White Plumbing COM
pany, was severely burned in the face
at o'clock yesterday afternoon at
the residence of w. W. Humphrey as
a result of an explosion of a gasolene
stove and water tank. which he was
using in thawing out a pipe. Mr..
Wall and L. NJ Frink, another plumb
er, were at work, and the former
leaned over to see how the stove was
operating when it exploded. The wat
er tank on top also flew to pieces
throwing hot water into his face. Mr..
Wall was taken to his home at the
corner of Fifth avenue and Third
street north and for a time it was
feared that his eyes would be destroy
ed. He is better today, however, and
his doctor says that the injuries will
probably not be permanent. Mr.
Frink had just arisen and turned away
when the explosion took place, and
! so escaped injury.

probable the gambling charges that
were brought against seven other Buhl
men will be dismissed, says the Buhl
Herald. J. Hugh Sherfey. who rep
resented the city in the case, said
yesterday the Oliver case was dismiss
ed because of insufficient evidence.
According to Mr. Sherfey the other
case was dismissed because of insult
ficient evidence in the Oliver case,
the evidence against the men is not
strong enough to carry out the charge.
Trials set for this week were post
poned.

editorial Correspondence

BOISE-The second week of the
fourteenth session of the Legislature
closed Saturday with a total of 10S
bills in the legislative mill, to say
nothing of number of resolutions
and memorials which have been in
troduced in the House and Senate.
These bills vary in Importance from
the WOrkingman' Compensation act,
which is generally conceded to be the
most important measure so far intro
duced to the bill that provides for the
regulation of the width of wagon
tires; indeed, the author of the last
named bill insists that the amuse-
ment which its introduction created
in the House, is not well founded, and
that as a matter of fact it is one of
the most constructive road making
measures that has ever been intro
duced in the Legislature of this state.
The author maintains that the enforc-
ed use Of broad tires on wagons will
prevent damage to highways, and
make far better roads throughout
the state.
Strong Opposition to WOrkmen's Act.
One of the most bitter contests to
come up before this Session of the
legislature is going to be the fight
on the Workingmen's CompensatiOs
Act, introduced by Bates of Ada coun-
ty. The toll of human life, the main
ing of human beings. the injury to
health due to diseases acquired in
certain industries, are all a part of
cost of the products of those indus
tries, and should be included in the
price at which those products are
sold, according to the theory on which
the act is based. The passage of this
act would relieve the insurance COM
panies of a branch of their most pro-
fitable business, so they are natural
ly lined up sOlidly against the bill
and it is needless to point out the
influence which the insurance COM
panies have exerted in the legisla-
lures of the past. The Insurance
Federation of Idaho, at it's meeting
in Boise last week, adopted resolu-
tions setting forth that the financially
able employers should be permitted
/ to deal with their own employees in
the matter of adjustments for injury
or allowed to insure with authorized
and accepted insurance companies
without interference.
mere is no question Dul lnaJ lht
Democratic majority in the legisla-
ture, and Democratic leaders, are
very anxious to procure the enact
ment of a satisfactory compensation
law But there is a difference be
tween the Democrats as to just how
far such a law should go, and it i:
already apparent that whatever meas
ure comes up for final passage,
will require the votes of many of thu
Republican members to secure it
enactment.

Proposed Monetary Reorganization of
the Southern Republic Creates Seri-

BUENOS AIRES. Jan. 25-The plan
suggested by DR.. De la Plaza. just re-
tired as president of Argentina, for
putting the republic on a zone money"
basis has not'met with a very enthusi-
astic public reception.
Some time ago the Argentines grew
tired of transacting business in a de-
preciated and fluctuating paper cur
rency. They accordingly took an ac-
counting and found that they had
enough gold on hand to redeem their
outstanding paper issues at the rate
of "A cents on the dollar
law was accordingly passed fix
ing fOrty-fOur centavOs as the legal
value of a paper peso. A gold peso
was forth 100 centavos, or the mer-
est trifle less than 81 United States
money. Gold pesos were and still
are so scarce, however. as to be prac-
tically curOsities The gold to re-
deem the fOrty-four centavos paper
pesos was religiously kept at the Gaia
de Conversion, however, and when
ever any more paper money was issued
a corresponding amount of gold was
deposited in the GAIA.
The result of this was to stop the
fluctuatiOn of Argentine money, but
it left the country with two kinds of
pesos, at least nominally, gold and pa
per. 1t complicated bookkeeping and
caused more other incidental incon-
veniences.
Just before his term as president
expired DR.. De la Plaza sent a mes
sage to congress saying he consid-
cred this a poor arrangement. He
proposed that, as the forty-four CEN
tavos paper pesos wore out and were
presented for redemption to reissue in
volume sufficient smaller to allow
the gold reserve still to cover it.
There were other incidental fea.
lures to his plan, concerning coinag,
and various minor details but. essen
TALLY, the scheme was to end the sys
tenn of having two varieties of thu
same kind of money.
The public view is that this woull
be a good thing in theory but that /
would cause more temporary incon
venience than the country likes t
submit to. Furthermore it is assert
ed that the change would unsettl
prices for a long time and that tn
consumer would get the worst of
Congress has the matter still unde

opponents that its adoption seem
doubtful.

WASHINGTON, Jan Whether
President Wilson in his address to
the United States senate this week
inaugurated a movement which will
change the course of the history of
the United States and of the world, or
whether the recommendation will
fail to secure approval either in this
country or abroad are questions that
be threshed out in the senate next
week Opinions here are divided and
this division will doubtless be mani
tested in the debate in the upper
chamber of congress. Some senator's
marmly approve of presidential rec
concentrations and others as strongly
oppose them. Party lines are not
strictly drawn on the subject either
in or out of congress. Many leading
Republicans are enthusiastically in ia
vor of an international league to en-
fore peace, while an element in the
Democratic party led by w. J. Bryan
endorses the declaration of w. j. Bry-
an that the president has sown both
wheat and tares; assuming that the
MIEal GOn6lolf Vi all lnltIHdllOndl
agreement in favor of disarmament
and peace. and the "tares" are the
recommendations in favor of the use
of force to carry out the provisions
of the agreement and the implied per-
mission for the nations of Europe
to interfere in affairs of the western
world.
The chief points of the presidents
address were:
That lasting peace in Europe can
not be peace of victory for either
side.
That peace must be followed by a
definite concert of power to assure the
world that no catastrophe Of war
shall overwhelm it again.
That in such a concert of power
the United States cannot withhold it's
participation to guarantee peace and
justice throughout the world
That before a peace is made the
! United States government should
frankly formulate the conditions upon
which it would feel justified in asking
the American people for their formal
and solemn adherence.

Supreme Effort
President Said to Believe He Has Laid

Law Replies for England.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Offi-
cials here believe that the greatest
offensive movement of the war on
the part of the allies will be made
in the spring and that supreme eff
fort will be made to break through
the lines on the west front. 1t is be-
lieved that the elimination of this
projected great drive will prove the
turning point in peace negotiations.
The advisers of President Wilson
maintain the greatest secrecy, but
among others the opinion prevails
that the president himself believes
that another great effort will be
made before any real step toward
peace can be taken. All diplomats
here agree with this. They say that
the news from all the fronts indicate
that plans for concerted action are
now in progress. Within six weeks
these plans will be completed and it
is firmly believed by officials and
diplomats here that the allies will
insist on awaiting the outcome be-
fore entering into peace negotia-
tions. Advisers of the president be-
lieye that he has created a situation
which will make it difficult for eth
er side to insist on the continuance
of the war after the results of the
spring campaign have been deter
mined.
