Will Be No Extra Session.

A Boise dispatch dated Feb. 4,
says:
The Idaho legislature will not
be called into special session to
enact war emergency legislation,
Gov. Alexander, in whose power
rests the right to issue the call,
authorizes the announcement to-
day that for the present at least
he will not act. For some weeks
it had been anticipated that the
war session would be called. The
state council of defense declared
for it on the grounds that laws
were necessary to give it more
power and to create a military
force that might deal with dis
turbances as we'll as protect life
and guard property. Other legis-
lation of Importance was advised.
In his statement Gov, AleXan-
der said: 81 have decided not to
call a special session. | have
been working for the last six
weeks trying not to call one.
Some of the essential questions
for which the session would be
called are already covered by stat
ute. The encouragement has
called my attention to one partic-
ular statute. 1t is that no writ
should be issued by any court on
anyone who is in the service Of
the United States.
That virtually protects the boys
in khaki against oppression dur
ing their absence and to certain
extent does what | intended to
cover in the special session call.
| also believe | have a perfect
right by proclamation to close up
during business hours the pool
rooms throughout the state and
thereby utilize and mobolize the
man power to the fullest extent.
The counties and municipalities
no doubt will cooperate with me.
| also believe we have the right as
a war measure to undertake to
curb the ravages of venereal di-
sease by putting the Lava hot
springs into shape so that the
beneficial and healing waters may
be made available by creating a
small Indebtedness for a building
that is urgently needed. | am
frank to say that the various
members composing the legisla-
ture are not as enthusiastic for a
special session as have been and
as the state council of defense
and others have been. Unless
the legislature is more responsive
for call or in sympathy with it
and feel the urgency thereof, the
special session can be of no great
value, as the members have to
pass the laws which are, in their
judgment, the rendition of public
sentiment to which we all have to
look to guide ourselves in our
public action. Of course, if the
war should continue and grave
questions should arise, l shall not
consider twenty-five thousand OF
even one million dollars any ex-
pense if Idaho could be made
ready to do more than it could
otherwise in the winning of this

beginning January !. 1919. have been
sent to the board by the Patrolmen's
Benevolent Association and the Uni

The first grade men were advanced
from $500 to $3.50 on September
and men OF the other grades received
a $3.50 increase on August /. The first
graders. who are the moro experienced

As facts supporting their appeal the
firemen point out the steady flow of
designations, the inability of the city TO
get men, although the age limit has been
raised to 35 years and the height reduced
to feet 6E inches, the difficulty en-
perienced by the Department in inducing
a sufficient number OF physically quail
