render an opinion as to whether or not
the road can be assessed at the orig
inal amount decided upon, $4,000.
State Auditor Van Deusen charged
that there was a bigger lobby of pub
lie utilities agents in Boise at the pre-
sent time than there has been in Boise
for years, or since the session of the
legislature that elected United States
Senator James II. Brady. He inferred
that most of the lobby was made up
very largely of representatives of in
surance companies.
WHAT MINUTES SAY.
The following are the boards min
utes with regard to both the lobby and
the Intermountain railroad assessment:
"At meeting OF the state board Of
equalization. Feb. 10, 1917, it was NOV
ed by Governor Alexander that 1t is
the request of the state board of equal
ization that the public utilities COM
mission investigate the activity OF the
various public utility representatives in
Boise at the present time, and whether
or not the public utilities are spending
any money out of their earnings for
paid counsel or representatives to in
fluence departments OF state govern
ment, and report at the earliest date
possible to the governor.
Motion was carried unanimously.
BIG ASSESSMENT DROPPED.
Governor Alexander called the at
tention Of the state board OF equaliza
ton to page 147 of the minute book, Of
1915, on which page the assessment Of
the Intermountain Railway company
appears to be assessed for $4,000, which.
according to the report of Governor
Alexander was $4,000. Such motion
was duly made and carried. The min
utes Of said year were not transcribed
and ready for approval until January,
1915. The state board OF equalization
had its attention called thereto by-th
governor in August, 1916, and 1t is
therefore moved by Governor Alex
ander that the attorney general be re-
quested to give his opinion as to
whether or not that $4,000 so dropped
can be added to the assessment of the
Intermountain Railway company dur
ing the session Of thc safe board Of
equalization In Lugust. 1911, and report
to the board at the earliest date pos
sibe.
"Motion was carried unanimously"

the time when Coleman stood alone be-
fore the court and received his senten, O.
Today his wife sat on one side and his
