space to praising Senator Robert NJ
La Toilette and Senator William j.

the filibuster as proper, and several
speak of the senators as representa-
tives of Americas best spirit
Regret is expressed that the fill
buster has not halted Presidents "un-
reasoning ambition" The action of
the II senators who backed the fill
buster, it is said, voiced the sober
sentiment that the American people
do not want to engage in war.
President Wilson's inaugural speech
was bitterly attacked by the Lokal
Anzeiger, which charged that the
presidents remarks were a desecra-
ton of the national capitol. In the

CARELESS WITH MAIL.

The annual report of the first assis-
tant postmaster general shows that TO-
500, 800 letters and parcels got into the
dead letter office because they were
not addressed at all, or improperly ad-
dressed so that delivery was impossible.
This collection of dead letter mail con-
tanned over $2,250,000 in checks, drafts,
money orders and other yaluables.
There were $4,000 letters misdirect-
ed, 1870 with no address at all, and
22S, 700 letters held for postage, which
show how many people are not careful.
The department attempts to get the
letters to the proper parties, and much
of the money sent in returned, and the
rest confiscated by the post office be-
cause the rightful owners are unknown.
When you post a letter be sure the
envelope bears the name and address,
and your own up in the left-hand cor
ner also. Sign your name and address
to all business correspondence. Stamp
the envelope.

LEa1sLAToR's PAY IN QUESTION
Legal Lights Put New Construction on
State Constitution.

Boise Memebers of the state legis-
lature cannot draw any more pay.
To be strictly within the law they
will all have to return to the state
treasurer the amounts they have al
ready drawn for their services this
session.
There is no provision in the consti-
tuition under which they are legally en-
titled to the So per day they have been
drawing, there is no law justifying
such tie of pay, and under the CON
stitution it will be impossible for the
present legislature to appropriate money
to pay its own members.
These startling facts were discovered
on Saturday, when members of the
Republican minority began considera-
ton of the bill which will be introduced
by prominent member of the senate
early this week providing that hence
forth members of the legislature serve
without pay and receive only mileage
j. B. Eldridge was called into con-
sultation, and when the constitution
and the code were searched, Mr.. Ed
ridge pointed out that nowhere IS there
to be found any legal authority for
paying members of the legislature the
SIS per day they have been drawing.
Article 3, section 80, of the consti
tuition reads as follows:
Each member of the legislature shall
receive for his services a sum not ex-
ceeding five dollars per day, from the
commencement of the session, but such
pay shall not exceed for each member,
except the presiding officer, in the ag-
gregate 5000 for per diem allowance
for any one session.
This paragraph, claim legal authori-
ties who were consulted, is not a "self
executing statute, that is, it does not
say that the members shall receive So
per day, but merely fixes the maximum
that they may receive at that figure,
and leaves it to each legislature to fix
the rate of pay for which the next
legislature shall serve.
This part of section 90 is held to be
no more self-executing than the pro-
vision which fixes maximum tax levy
for the state, or that setting maximum
on the bonded Indebtedness. In the
case of the tax levy it means that the
levy cannot be higher than a certain
figure, but does not mean that the levy
shall always be at that maximum. The
bonded indebtedness provision falls in
to the same class as does the clause fix
ing the maximum of pay for legislators,
it is claimed.
