dissatisfaction with the direct prim-

believe the people of Idaho would go

1t is probable that majority of the
members of the new legislature will
favor its repeal, but it is hardly to be
expected that this extreme action
will be taken during the coming ses-
sion. However, the legislature should
at least amend the law in manner
that will effectually prevent repeti-

A thoughtful little bill has been in

1t provides that all officers and men
in the military services during the
war with Germany and Austria shall,
when honorably discharged or mus
tered out, receive two months extra
full duty pay ii they have served
outside the continental limits of the
United States and one months extra
full pay If they have served within
the continental limits OF the United
States. This will give the boys a lit
tie chance to look around and locate
themselves when they get home. What
with subtlactions from base pay for
Iallotments, insurance, and many in
cdentals, the soldier has little or
nothing in his pocket at the end Of
the month. Indeed, Ring Lardner's
hero Jack, found, after making the
necessary monthly deductions from
his pay, he owed the "govment" $3.50.
Gould's bill establishes no precedent,

tirely antagonistic to the platform tC
which he, as candidate, had pledg-

system any official may, if he chooses
look ahead to the next election, and
in his desire for votes may forsake
the principles under which he was

maverick organization, in the hope OF

Party organization and party con

of many serious evils in our govern
