Leaders in Both Houses Think
Fifteenth Session Will Not
Go Over to- sunday-To
Move Important Bills.
HOUSE CLEARING CALENDAR
Take Up Fish and Game Revis-
ion Bill and Amend It-Rec-
commended for Passage
Pass Measures Amending
Revenue Laws.

The Fifteenth Idaho legislature may
of this week, and not go over to Sun
day as had been anticipated At least
this is the hope of leaders in both
houses. They say the calendars in both
houses are now being relieved of their
congestion and while there is still pend
ing in the senate many Important bills
including those carrying the biennial
appropriations for state officers and
institutions, the house has few of them
left and even less number of acts
that must be passed. House members
say the matter and time of adjourn
ment rests with the senate while the
toga wearers declare it win not be de-
layed unnecessarily by any act of
theirs.
HOUSE MOPPiNG UP.
The house today continued to clear
away the mass of legislation before, it.
The assembly is giving first consider
alton to it's own bills. Those of the
senate must wait until all important
house bills are disposed of. There are
comparatively few senate bills pend
lower assembly declared today the
house can quickly dispose of the SEN
ate acts before it.
The last per diem day falls on Thurs
day but adjournment on that day does
not now look possible. The members
will therefore work at least one and
possibly two days overtime, stopping
the clocks in the two houses in order
to do so.
SPOKE TO WRONG BILL.
Speaking to the merits of house bill
No. 255 Representative Mcmahon of
Lincoln declared that il enacted into
law it would save the state hundreds
of thousands of dollars. The house
passed the measure.
House bill No PIP was Immediately
taken up. Representative Morgan
brought the house down with laughter
when he said that Mcmahon had spoken
In favor of the bill when discussing No.
PISS, for apparently he thought he was
discussing No. PIP and he did not think
it was necessary to make any further
comment on the bill Both are tax
measures. They so amend the present
law as TO bring about n saving to both
the state and counties.
Shortly after converting the house
went into committee of the whole and
considered the fish and game bill which
was amended in a number of minor
particulars and was Immediately rec
commended for passage. This is house
bill No. PA.
