DOINGS AT BOISE.
Legislature Still Grinding Away, but
Accomplishing Very Little.
Anti-Alien Bill Before the Senate.


The time for the adjournment of
the Idaho Legislature is creeping
along, and If the members do not get
little more pep in them the present
legislature will go down in history as
equal to that of 1915. On Saturday
last the house passed the Bates COM
pensation bill which was demanded
by the labor organizations OF the
state. and the measure is quite likely
to meet with favorable action in the
senate.
There have been over 500 bills
presented before both branches of the
Legislature. and II is safe to say that
Il majority OF these will never see
the light of day
bomb was thrown into the legis-
lative camp last week. when In dis
cussing bill to be presented provid-
Ing hencefOrth members of the legis-
lature serve without pay. 1t was
charged by one of the members that
members OF the present legislature
were drawing their pay at the rate
OF $500 per day illegally. and they
might be called upon to return 1t to
the state. II was stated that no
where In the constitution was ii pro-
vided that legislators should receive
$500 per day for their services, and
as the constitution bars the members
OF any legislature from voting money
TO themselves or fixing or raising
their own salary. 1t is clearly evident
that the members OF the present body
have been drawing a salary illegally
and II is charged that as Members
OF the legislature have been drawing
their pay every 10 days at the rate
OF $500 per day. 1t Is claimed that
these payments were Illegal and that
they will have to refund the money
to the state" However. we have nc
sympathy for this plan, and do not
believe that the members OF any leg
islature should devote their time &c
the state as an act OF charity. The
pay is small enough as II is.
Attorney c. NJ. Booth, OF Twir
Falls. was called before the Senate
to explain the rumored actions h'
took in lobbying against the anti
alein bill, which failed to pass th'
senate. II being charged by affidaviti
that Booth received the sum OF $40,
900 from the japanese ASSOCIATION IL
Idaho for preventing the passage o
the bill. Booth denies the CHARGE
but was to have been given hearin,
before the senate yesterday. How
ever, after learning OF these rumor
and the receipt OF letter from Twill
Falls TO the effect that Attorne.
Booth appeared before the count,
clerk OF that county, accompanied
with n japanese for whom he re
quested n license to marry whit
woman. and other circumstances, tn
bill has been introduced in the sen
ate. and It is stated that It will nov
pass by large majority.
A bill has also been introduce,
which will prevent the marriage o
Japanese and white people. w
might add that the county attorne
at Twin Falls refused the request 70
the license referred to.
The senate also passed a bill en-
powering the state auditor to max
an investigation of the land depart
ment
Judging from the action OF Oh
house. state division for Idaho seem
TO be a foregone conclusion as TN

Declines to Open Land TO Settlers.

Washington.-The secretary Of the
interior has declined to restore to en-
cry. as petitioned for by large num-
ber Of prospective settlers. the 150.-
600 acres within the Minidoka irri-
CATION project. which II is intended
to reclaim under a pumping system.
The department officials are hopeful
that Il will he n question of COM
paratively short time until all OF
these lands can be reclaimed, IA there
is ample water and power for pump
ing purposes available at the Minido-
ka dam, and as soon as funds are
available there is no doubt that the
authority will be granted by con-
gross for the completion OF the en-
tire project The opening OF the
lands to homestead entry would COM
pllcate and make more difficult the
consumation OF the plan which the
reclamation service has formulated
to bring this land under the pumping
system.
