IMPORTANT CHANGES IN
IDAHO FUNDAMENTAL LAW

The Recorder publishes today a
mass of advertising having to do
with matters of special importance
to come before the voters at the gen.
eral election this fall. embracing a
call for a constitutional convention
and four separate amendments as
proposed in the present constitution.
AS to the need of a new consti-
tuition for the state of Idaho. that Is
the most important of all these ques-
tions. whether the state has out
grown the swaddling garments with
which the commonwealth was cloth
ed more than quarter OF century
ago and which has been patched up
with no less than "a amendments
since it's adoption, so that it is hard
to tell at this time which is the orig
inaI garment and which the patches
in our fundamental law.
One of the amendments aims 10
abolish the office of state superin-
tendent of schools.
Another would permit counties
and municipalities to subscribe 10
and become stockholders in fair as
sociations not organized for profit.
Still another limits the indebted
ness that may be taxed against the
property of the state.
While the last of these amend
ments gives relief to cooperative
business associations.
The Recorder will endeavor from
time to time TO discuss these lmpor'
tant matters in detail

Indispensable!
A few among the religious class
have In times past criticised the

they are coming more and more to
realize that the newspaper is an i'm

can that be? Because 1t records the
many events OF this time which the
Bible writer's predicted thousands oi
years ago. Careful Bible students
can hardly read single copy Of any
live newspaper now without reading
Of happenings which are In direct
fulfillment of Bible prophecies.

FATAL STROKE FOR

John W. r. Halcombe was instant

where he had been employed. For
many years Jack Haicombe had
been familiar figure In and around
Salmon. having mining properties OF
his own. which he developed. and
engaging to work for other miners
in lines of employment in which he
such employment that took him to
the Big Dyke. where his fellow en-
ployees without exception regarded
him as natural leader In their
work. Last Saturday morning he ar
ranged with one OF his companions
to visit the Halcombe mine across
the hills little way. II was while
returning that he pitched upon his
head with the fatal result as stated.
He never recovered consciousness.
A few months ago Mr.. Halcombe
lost vision In an eye and hts impair
ed eyesight caused him some times
to misjudge distances In walking.
From this cause II Is altogether
probable that he made the fatai mis-.
step.
The accident caused shock to
the active camp at the Dyke. II was
largely through the efforts Of Mr..
Halcombe that a flag celebration was
planned and carried out few days
ago at this mine. He was regis
trant for war service though past
the age limit He was a man OF
strong patriotic feeling but OF pa
tience and discretion In teaching pa.
triotism to others who might see
things differently. One OF his fellow
miners not long ago had manifested
an improper attitude toward the new
registration. Halcombe thought the
man ignorant rather than unpatriot-
ic and forthwith he patiently gave
! him some lessons to bring home the
| proper love of country. So well did
/. he succeed that the man is now en-
thusiasic for any service tina; may
