TECTION OF STATE

BOISElIf the authorities at Wash

with regard to giving Idaho financial
assistance under the terms of the
defense act so that national guard
companies can be armed and equip
ped, the 14th Idaho legislature will be
called into extra session in April, Gov
ernor Alexander announced Saturday
night He will take the matter of re-
lief directly up with the war depart
ment while attending the conference
called by Secretary Franklin K. Lane
April to provide ways and means
for the Americanization of aliens now
in this country.
Governor Alexander points out that
members of the legislature will be
Informed in sufficient time regarding
the call so that they can prepare their
bills and have them ready for intro
ductiOn and action on the day the
legislature meets. He believes the
solons can conclude their delibera-
tions within a week.
II have maintained peace within
the state up to the present time, but
I hardly think my powers are broad
enough to deal with conditions as they
arise from time to time" said Gov
ernor Alexander. "In my opinion the
time has arrived when seditiOn and
treason must be stamped out with the
iron heel Of the state and national
government and forever Danish the
hydra-headed monster of disloyalty
from the borders of our country. The
items which special session will be
called upon to enact will be very few
and deal almost entirely with war
and the legislature no doubt
will be convened on Monday and
conclude all the business before it
within a week. l will give all the
time necessary to the members to pre-
pare the bills so they may be intro
duced and passed without much |
trouble. The question of the calling
of an extra session depends largely
upon the results of my trip to Wash
ington, where I am going shortly"

in Idaho, not by persuasion but by
the strong arm of the law. Governor

this state those whose hearts are full
of sedition and disloyality. He dis
