IDAHO's GOVERNOR
BACKS NEW BILL
Plan Would Merge Departments and
Save Thousands os Dollars
TO Taxpayers.

Boise.-=SOvernor Davis is back OF a
bill introduced on the 18th, which takes
over forty-eight separate departments
OF the state government and places
them under nine heads. thereby saw
ing the state thousands of dollars and
much needless waste Of time and en-
ergy.
But the same legislative act will
create five advisory boards for the
same number Of departments. These
boards will give expert opinion and
will reflect the opinions of the public
in a way which has not before been
accomplished.
The governors bill provides for:
The supercedence Of forty-eight de-
partments by nine.
The saving of thousands of dollars
expense.
Making the governor directly answer
able to the people for the business eff
ficiency Of his administration.
A cabinet, composed OF heads of de-
partments, to advise with the governor
on all important matters
Placing Of state finances on a sound
business basis.
Direct representation Of the people
through advisory boards. composed of
nine members, to serve without nay
and aid five departments.
Expert advice and real public opin-
ion through the personnel Of the adj
visory boards, all the members OF
which serve for patriotic reasons.
No addition of functions, but a far
more rapid attention to public mat
tiers.
An elimination of red tape and com
gestion Of public affairs.
No piece Of Legislation presented to
an Idaho legislature has before caused
the comment heard when the measure
appeared. In this comment there was
no adverse criticism. All legislators
seem to agree that Its principle more
than stood the test. Many Of them
knew that political scientists held no
disagreement about the efficacy of
such plan.

FIRST SESSION OF
PEACE CONGRESS-
BEGIN SERIES OF CONFERENCES
BEFORE REGULAR SESSIONS
ARE HELD.
New Terms for the Extension Of
German ArmIstIce Have Been
Drawn up by Experts OF the
Allies and United States.

Paris.-The first actual session OF
the peace congress was held on Jam
uary ID, although 1t is Officially desiR-
mated as one OF the series Of conversa-
tons for laying the groundwork for the
structure which will later be presented
to the formal assembly Of the dele
gates Of all the nations.
These conversations will take up de-
tails Of the program to be carried out
what subjects win be considered at the
meetings, the roles of expert advisers
and the order in which various mat
tiers will be considered.
Nothing has developed to alter the
statement that the American delegates
are primarily concerned with the ere
alton of a league of nations and the
making Of a just peace Territorial
ambitions -Ocal quarreh and rivalry
for economic advantages among the
European delegates are secondary in
the minds of the Americans.
Reports that the American delega-
tion has agreed on a working plan for
a league Of nations and that 1t viii be
one OF the first things to be laid be-
fore the congress have been current
In Paris. All outward evidences In
official quarters point in the other d.
rection. It Is known that as late as
President Wilson's return from Italy
he was not prepared to lag down a
working plan, and that he preferred
to have other plans originating among
the entente delegates offered first.
The first business before the supreme
council was the new terms for the ex-
tension of the German armistice. The
terms had been formally drawn up at
meeting Monday morning OF military,
naval, economical and financial ex-
perts of the allies and the United
States. The morning meeting, which
was presided over by Marshal Foch,
reached complete agreement on the
new armistice terms.

Turkish houses are quite innocent Of

Turk never bathes save in running

that carry the water to the garden outs

Dinner, which Is consumed in the

At some Of these dinners they drink
