The fight TO create q new state out
of northern Idaho Ia on. II was laun-
ched In both houses Of the legiala-
ture with the introduction Of resolu-
tions signed by senators and repro
sentatives, which seek TO place that
body on record as favoring secession.
The same resolutions would convene
constitutional convention at the
city OF Moscow in the north, June 10.
1917. for the purpose of framing a
constitution for the proposed, and as
yet unnamed. new state.
Clear evidence that the movement
for secession is going to start fight
In the present legislature that may
wage on TO the bitter end before II IL
finished and the resolutions disposed
OF. was apparent when II was institut-
ed In the house OF representatives.
Representative Dean Driscoll Of Ada
county served notice on those behind
the division plan he would fight ITO
a finish" any attempt to divide the
state. Following Representative
Young OF Ada. who objected to unan-
imous consent to send the house divi-
sion resolution directly to the print
ing committee. Driscoll also object
cd and made It plain where he stood
ON the matter. Not an Ada county
sponsor for the measure. II has the
backing, however. OF many influen-
tial members, and Mc0owan OF Latah
succeeded in going over the heads Of
Young ana nriscoll 70 get the resoiu-
tion printed Immediately.
These two resolutions aa they ap-
peared in both branches OF the Log
islature are identical and carry much
more weight than II they we're only
memorials. This 10 apparent Mt a
glance when section article OF the
constitution OF the United States Ia
consulted. This section IL as fol-
lows:
New states shall be admitted by
the congress to the union; but no
new state shall be formed or erect

ture of the states concerned aa well
