ANOTHER COUNTY
DIVISION BILL UP
PROPOSAL TO TAKE FOUR TOWN
SHIPS FROM BINGHAM COUN-
TY is INTRODUCED

BOISE.-Providing for an election
at the time of the general election in
November, 1920, another county di-
vision bill made it's appearances in
the lower house yesterday when Rep
resentatives Nelson and Stanger of
Bonneville county asked for the addi-
tion of four townships in the Gray's
Lake country to Bonneville county.
The townships now are part of Bing-
ham county. They are situated in
what is known as Long Valley and
it is necessary to cross a mountain
range for the residents to get to their
county seat at Blackfoot, say the in
PRODUCERS of the bill.
Two other measures made their.
appearance in the house. They pro-
vide for physical examinations for
school children and for signs at rail
road crossings. The house passed
one bill, increasing the salary of the
clerk of the supreme court. In the
senate an emergency measure to pro-
vide for the issuance of municipal
coupon bonds to construct and en-
large electric plants was introduced
by Senator Yeaman. This bill was a
curative act to cover a local condi
tion at Idaho Falls.

MOODY DENIES He
OWES THE STATE
FORMER ADJUTANT GENERAL
ASKS FOB IMMEDIATE INVESTI-
CATION OF CHARGES

BOISE.-Investiga of the ac-
counts in the office of former Adult
ant General G.. S. Moody will be be-
gun Immediately by legislative COM
mittee comprising three members of
the house and two of the senate. When
Governor Davis asked the legislature
to investigate the department it was
done through a communication read
to both house and senate Monday. In
his message the chief executive said
there were certain Irregularities and
he recommended the investigation.
Instantly jumping to his feet at the
end of the reading of the communca-
ton, Representative Moody offered
the following resolution: 81 move
that a committee of three members OF
the house, one of whom shall be a
democrat, be appointed to inspect the
books of the adjutant generals de-
partment; that this committee shall
have power to call witnesses and per-
form all other acts necessary to OBJ
tain a complete history of the financial
transactions of the department.
On a motion to table the Moody mo-
tion, the house voted favorab1y, plac-
ing the investigation at least tempor
arily in the hands of the state affairs
committee. The former adjutant gen.
eral now a member of the legislature
said: "I don't owe the state of Idaho
a single red cent. will stand behind
my work until the sun grows cold.

OLDDSMOBILE OLD ENOUGH
TO VOTE IN IDAHO

The Idaho Garage, on Second street
has a novel attraction in the form of
an Oldsmobile 21 years old that is
still running and capable of several
years of work yet. The car which is
attracting much attention, took part
in the big automobile parade at the
automobile show in Spokane recently
and has been brought to Moscow to
show people here what advances have
been made in automobile building
since it was first put on the market.
The car has solid rubber band tires
around the rims which are extra
heavy. 1t has but one cylinder and
has bed like buggy. 1t is steered
by a guide rod instead of revolving
steering gear such as Is now in use
on all cars. The machine shows the
kind of stuff the Oldsmobile is made
Of and how long even machines of that
primitive type are capable of being
used. Mr.. Frost, proprietor of the
garage, takes pleasure in explaining
the primitive machine to visitors and
showing the great improvements that
have been made in this make of cars.
He compares 1t with the six and eight
cylinder Oldsmobiles in his parage
and the comparison is interesting.

NONPART|zANS ARE
SAT- ON At BOISE
RESOLUTIONS INTRODUCED BY
NONPARTIZAN MEMBER MEETS
QUICK DEFEAT

BOISE.-Following a report from
the state affairs committee with the
recommendation that it be Indefinite
ly postponed, the house of representa-
tives yesterday killed the League Of
Nations" resolution by C. R. Peck
ham. non-partizan representative from
Canyon county. The resolution was
the first measure introduced into the
house at the present session
It's purpose was to put the legisla-
ture on record as favoring a league
of nations.
An explanation of the assassination
of the resolution in face of the adop-
tion by the peace delegation in Paris
of the idea, can be found in the fact
that it was introduced by a member
of the nonpartizan league delegation
and met the same fate that the same
kind of resolution did in the upper
house, similarly introduced.

COMPENSATION ACT
AR0USES FARMERS
SENATOR PORTER'S BILL BRINGS
FORTH MUCH DEBATE AT
BOISE TODAY

BOISE.-Senator Porters bill ex-
empting school teachers and office
employees from the compensation act
precipitated a big debate in the SEN
ate this morning. The upper body
seems to be divided.
Many would take agriculture out
of the exempted list. The farmers
fought to keep in which the stockmen
in the senate favored adding their
industry for exemption. Orme, Of FIRE.
mont, started the debate when he Of
fered the latter amendment.
Business men and lawyers in the
senate spoke in favor of making agri-
cultural pursuits under the law. Pet
tibone warned that the farmers would
kill the bill in it's entirity.
The senate passed the resolution
of the house for money for expense
of Investigations of departments of
former administrations. The senate
also passed the Sewer bill allowing
cities to bond for 10 per cent for mu-
nicipal improvements.
The committee of the whole recon-
mended for passage the bill exclud-
ing agricultural land in cities from
limits. Nash, of Franklin,
fought alone against the measure.
The house killed the joint resolu-
tion by Greenwood providing for the
initiative on constitutional amend
ments by ordering it not printed.
The state federation of labor pc
the house to kill the gov
ernor's bill because of the state con-
feature.

DR.. E. Il. L|NDLEY
TELLS OF HIS TRIP
PRESIDENT OF UNIV RSITY
SPEAKS TO STUDENT ASSEM-
BLY, OF THE FUTURE

A warning against relaxing our
patriotism after the war and assur-
iance that the price of farm products
will not be lowered for the next year
were the key notes Of an address de-
livered by President Lindley at the
student assembly this morning.
"The world is in a post war condi-
tion," said President Lindley. eve
are tired Of fighting and are apt to
turn too quickly toward personal
pleasure and to forget the great
things we have been fighting for.
eff the war has meant anything,
it has meant national unity, it has
meant fusing the Individual with the
state. We dare not now turn toward
Individual aggrandisment. We must
still face the big problems of Ameri-
canization and of social injustice"
President Lindley has recently re-
turned from convention of land
grant colleges held in Baltimore
where the larger problems of recon-
struction were discussed by the heads
of all the big agricultural colleges Of
the United. States.
How the university can help the
farmer, the S. A. T. c., the attitude
universities should take toward recon
struction problems were discussed in
detail by the members of the con-
vention.
"a feeling of solidarity grew out of
the meeting," said President Lindley.
"By getting together and talking over
our common problems we were able to
formulate uniform plans of action
that will make our work more success
full in the future.
President Lindley rode east on the
same train with William Jennings
Bryan. While in Washington he met
several Idaho alumni who are doing
government work there.
