Deadlock Continues Through
Stormy Night Session of
Senate, With No Agree
ment in Sight as Yet.
MEASURE SENT BACK
TO HOUSE ONCE MORE
Instructions to Continue the
Conference Given by the
Upper House After Heat
ed Debate in Which Per
sonalities Were Engaged
In.

The fate Of the workmen's compen-
sation act rests in the hands Of the
join conference committee of the Four
teenth Idaho legislature. Thursday
deadlock continued through a stormy
session of the senate last night. Lead
ers in both houses declare that it will
continue indefinitely unless either the
house or the senate recede from their
respective positions. The senate re-
called the bill from the house late
Thursday and the senate's special
committee appointed to meet the
house committee for conference, re-
ported the two branches OF the leg
islature found it impossible to get to-
gether. Speaking for the committee
Chairman Ingard asked for further in
structions.
BY vote of 20 to is the senate, fol-
lowing a heated debate in which per-
sonalities were INDUCED in, ordered
the bill sent back to the house with
instructions to the committee to con-
tinue the conference. An attempt to
force the committee to report this
morning at 10 o'clock failed. In the
meantime the house recessed over to
2 o'clock this afternoon.
WHERE HITCH COMES.
So the sixtieth and last per diem
day of the Fourteenth Idaho legisla-
ture passed stormily, the compensation
act being rocked about in it's turbulent
waters. The house majority is stand
ing firm on the bill as amended by
that body. The senate is insisting that
third plan of compensation, known
as casualty insurance, be incorporat-
ed, and there the matter hangs. Lead
ers on both sides say they will never
recede from their respective positions.
The more conservative declare that
compromise will be perfected for the
Fourteenth Idaho legislature will never
be allowed to adjourn until a COM
pensation law is enacted. Hints were
made of a week or two weeks longer
session, last night.
FIGHT BECOMES BITTER.
The senate was not at all back

house when the compensation bill
reached its chambers under call Thurs

tercation between the two took place.
Driscolrs amendment was lost by a
vote of 81 to 30 taken along party Zines,
the Democrats voting for it and the Re
publicans against and the Bates mo-
ton was carried. Kribs served notice
to reconsider the vote by which the
Bates motion prevailed and the house
recessed to 2: 80 o'clock.

stricken from it. For his part he said
he was not at all alarmed over Hart

to by Mr.. Day or Mr.. Young as the

been. He urged the committee be in

THOSE ALIEN LAND LAWS

TT IS about time the National Govern.
ment let those western States which
are periodically attempting to pass land
laws in apparent contravention of inter-
national treaties understand that they are
trespassing on ground where they have
no business.
Treaties are the supreme law of the
land, and, in the language of the Federal
Constitution, "the Judges in every State
shall be bound thereby, anything in the
constitution or laws of any State to the
contrary Notwithstanding"
1t is also about time Japan discovered
that the Government in Washington is
supreme and can be trusted to secure
the protection of the Japanese in all their
treaty rights regardless of the acts of any
of the States. The California land laws
specifically safeguard the treaty rights
of aliens, though that safeguard was not
necessary. California might as we'll have
passed law reserving to the National
Government the right to declare war.
The proposed changes in the land laws of
Idaho and Oregon, which have been aban-
doned at the request of the State De.
partment, would have had no effect upon
treaties, for the State courts would have
been compelled to declare them invalid so
far as they ran contrary to international
agreements.
The National Government is supreme
in such matters and we should like to
see it assert its supremacy in no uncer.
tain terms, while II informs the States
that they are attempting to legislate on
matters over which they have no juris.
diction.

ECONOMIZE AND PREPARE

THERE is no call for us to lose our
heads. but we should economize and
prepare at once in order that we may be
ready for any emergency.
1t took England and France two years
TO adjust themselves to modern war con-
ditons. Russia has not learned the trick
western Europes growing efficiency and
struggle against muddlers have been an
and the literature of actual modern war
would fill a library.
We should profit by this vast store of
human experience. 1t would be folly to
go through the whole wrctchcd business
of middle for ourselves through any vain
presumption that American methods are
superior to those of Europe. Europeans,
through an untold agony that has de.
stroyed or wrecked between twenty five
and forty million lives, have learned to
dDSluln from luNurleS, 10 eCOnOHllZe IN
comforts. to be frugal even of necessi.
ties. The average man and woman will
not be called upon for advice about mill.
tary or naval preparedness Theirs is
now a spiritual and moral duty, a right
frame of mind. That duty is to prepare,
as if for the worst by economy.
Our food is for the soldiers and sailors
of the Allies as well as for our own.
What we are protesting against they are
fighting against. In so far as their sue
cess accomplishes the justice which our
soldiers and sailors are arming to uphold,
their success is our success While we
are not of the Allies we are with the
Allies We are not of them for the re-
drawing of the map of Europe, but we
are with them in so far us they are for
the rights of humanity which they and
we demand. We should rebuke fippancy
and the belittling of the seriousness of
our lost isolation. We should curb un.
bridled pleasure-seeking. We should
economize and prepare.

Sir-It is to be hoped that the Finance

spectators who witnessed the destruction of
the Gimbel warehouses. 1t might help In
making them look with more favor on the
firemen's demands. l happened to be in close
proximity to the fire and was astounded at
its rapid advance To the thousands or
spectators who quickly gathered it looked,
in our inexper ence as II any effort to
master the flames was useless and wasteful
There was q force of men, however, who
thought otherwise. These gentlemen kept
arriving on the scene In close continuity,
until quite a number were on the ground,
BY some means or other, not easily discern
ible to the onlookers, the apparatus, the
long lines of hose, and the few hundred
men were all working together in harmony,
and with an effectiveness that soon resulted
in the fire being put under control ..
Should not a spectacle like this elicit the
hearty cooperation of all our citizens in
furtherng the interests OF our hre-hghtlng
force for better conditions!
As stood there, along with many Of my
near neighbors bewlldered and helpless, not

but look on.
Can we quiet our consciences by saying

Two contradictory threats have come
from Germany. One is that England
will be starved in thirty days. The other
is that Germany will sink million tons
a month of England's eleven or twelve
million tons" So some Germans think
England can be starved in a month and
others in a year. Lloyd's puts the Brit.

stretched to nearly two years. And
