LEGISLATURE
HAS ADJOURNED
Closed Its Affairs Saturday
Night Amid General Hilari-.
ty-AlI Important Measures
! Pass.

Boise, q March 10.-The four
teenth Idaho legislature passed
into history tonight when it adj
journed sine die at 10 o'clock
while hilarity reigned supreme
among the members. With its
passing went the dreams of those
who.expected to see new state
carved out Of the ten northern
counties; the ambitions of those
who desired idaho to have a
workman's compensation COM
mission were realized, and the
defeat of two measures that
threatened international contro-
versies if not a complete breach
the anti-Asiatic marriage bill
and the anti-alien land owner
ship measure, both conceded to
be aimed at the time of their in
PRODUCTION at the Japanese.
The closing hours of the legis-
lature witnessed a compromise
being reached over the work
mans compensation bill which
caused one of the most bitter
fights an Idaho legislature has
ever witnessed. Without dis
senting vote both branches
passed a compromise bill throw
ing the cloak of protection over
the laboring people of the state.
The final days session saw the
final passage o f appropriation
bills carrying a grand total of al
most million and a half dollars.
The state educational, penal and
charitable institutions were cared
for by them. State departments
were given their biennial main
tenance money and numerous re-
lief bills were disposed of. One
institution suffered as result of
the final pruning process, and
only one. The University OF
Idaho had $4,000 stricken from
it's maintenance for the payment
of expenses of lectures of the ex-
tension department and So, ,00O
for the summer school. Other
wise the state educational insti-
tutions are given the amounts ap-
portioned to them by the house.
The school for the deaf and the
blind gained $4,000 for a new
building and SIS, 900 for a cen
tral heating plant.
The senate passed the house
bill prohibiting liquor advertising
in the state.
By a vote of so to 10 the house
joint resolution authorizing tht
converting of the state Gonven
tion at Moscow to draft a consti
tuition for the proposed new stat
to be created out of the tel
northern counties, was laid OF
the table and in this manner it
defeat was accomplished. It re
ceived but the support of the tel
senators from the north. Thi
resolution had passed the house
a majority of the members o
which were it's joint authors.
The anti-Asiatie marriage an
the anti-alien land ownershi
bills were defeated by bein
smothered in committees.
majority Of the senators wer
opposed to the passage of eithe
at a time when the nation frs
faces an international Crisis.
Among the other importar
measures that failed to pass wa
the $3.50, 900 bond issue for con
pletion of wings on the new stat
capitol. It was smothered on tn
calendar.
Labor secured its greatest VII
tory of any session of an Idat
legislature when it succeeded
having passed by unanimous vol
o workmen's compensation bill
providing for elective compensi
tion. Regardless of the fact th'
many days were spent by bot
houses in threshing out the con
