,ou,r WANT CONVENTION TO Re-
v1sr CONSTITUTION OF THE
STATE OF IDAHO.
NEW NEW JUSTICES OF THE PEACE
constable Also Are Elected in Voting
Precincts of Idaho
County.

Idaho county voters at the general
election, November 3, opposed proposed
amendments to the state constitution,
except in the ease of the proposed
amendment to abolish the office of state
Superintendent of public instruction,
which they favored by majority of "a
votes.
Returns from the entire state on the
Constitutional amendment proposals are
not complete, but indications are that
all have been rejected. The voters, in
their determination that nothing should
be done to change the state constitution
at the present time, evidently felt that
all other amendments should be rejected,
and voted accordingly. The office of
state superintendent of public instruc-
ton is deemed superfluous under the
present educational system in Idaho,
and the present superintendent, who was
reelected urged, previous to the cleo
ton, that the office be abolished.
In Idaho county the vote on consti-
tutional amendments was as follows:
No. l. Shall there be a convention
to revise or amend the constitution?
Yes, 400. No, 1905.
No. p Shall the constitution be SO
amended as to permit counties and
municipalities to become stockholders in

..5n' -ot orgnized for pecuniary profile

No. 3. Shall Section l, Article 4, of
the constitution be amended to abolish
the office of state superintendent of
public Instruction. Yes, 764. No, 73O.
No. T. Shall the constitution be

ness Of the state, exclusive of the debt

The voters defeated an amendment
'nch the state supreme court declared
ne week before election covered a point
"eady authorized under the state laws
-the amendment which would allow
Ountles and municipalities to give
lnaneial aid to fair associations. A
SSe on this point was decided by the
Ouft IN favor of the view that the
avs already allow counties and cities
give such aid to fairs and industrial
ambitions.
