A REAL PROHIBITION MEASURE.


House Bill No. /, which was intro
duced in the state legislature a few
days ago, is one Of the most sweep
ing and drastic measures dealing
with the prohibition question that
has ever been before any legislative
assembly. II contains between H.
600 and 1900 words and provides
for almost every conceivable situa-
ton which might arise in its enforce
,ment.
Not alone is the sale of liquor made
Illegal after the Goth of June, but 1t
is declared to be Illegal TO have 1t In
ones possession or to have In posses
sion any paraphernalia for the man
ufacture or sale of liquor more than
ten days after the law, goes into eff
feet.
Under the provisions of the bill IL
quor cannot be handled within the
state of Wyoming for any purpose
other than medicinal, and the pro-
posed safeguards surrounding the
dispensing OF 1t for that purpose are
such as would probably be effective.
A physician who prescribes liquor az
a medicine is required by the pro-
posed law to have a special license
and to give a 100000 bond condi-
toned upon his compliance with the
law. His prescription must be taken
to a PHARMACIST, who is required to
furnish a bond of not less han S.
10000 and the pharmacists prescrip-
ton on the bottle.
The bill puts the enforcement OF
the law in the hands of commission
er Of prohibition, who, with his dep
uties. is empowered to make arrests
and employ attorneys without the CO.
operation of the county sheriffs and
county attorneys. These are only a
few of the provisions, which, with the
search and seizure feature, will make

most drastic prohibition law in the

ing for the reorganization of the state
government, the Lewiston Tribune,
the leading journal Of North Idaho,
says in part:
"A fact of capital public import
ance the introduction Of this meas
ure brings out Is the astounding null
tiplication of the minor commissions,
boards and bureaus that has been oc-
curing In recent years. No wonder
the great new state house, erected SO
very recently, has been found wholly
inadequate to accommodate the in
creasing legion Of oficeholders that
has been fastened upon the Npeople,
that rented buildings have been
found necessary and that the demand
is clamorous at the capital for addi-
tions and engagements to the main
edifice, In order that room may be
found for the increasing swarms 1t
appears that there are forty-eight of
these boards, with several hundred
deputyships, and these are independ-
ent of the usual departments of state
at the head of which is an elective
officer. This growth of ofiicialism,
1t should be understood, Is the fault
of no one party. 1t is simply result
OF our loose and irresponsible govern
mental methods, and goes right back
to the people themselves. Even at the
last election an effort was made to Sc
cure the adjustment by popular vote
of one of these useless departments,

| Joining in the appeal to do SO, since
there were no longer any serious du-
| ties to be performed, but the people
by a great majority declared against
the abandonment. They did not in
tend to do so, 1t seems assured, but
political responsibility In the public
at large is such negligible quantity,
unless some personal interest or
preference or prejudice is at stake,
that no heed whatever was given, as a
rule, to the question at issue.
For that reason, II for no other,
Governor Davis is to be encouraged
and applauded for resolutely and def
initely proposing to do something of
an efficient nature, even IL on examin-
alton his measures should be found
defective or inadequate and to require
amendment and strengthening by the
Legislature. There is some reason to
fear the proposed establishment Is
rather more extensive and topheavy
than is appropriate to Idaho's modest
frank and slender development as a
commonwealth, but that estimate is

WHY NOT OPEN UPq

AS the days 60 by evidence con-
tinues to accumulate which prove
conclusively that the ban against
holding of public gatherings, and the
opening of schools and the opera
house does not prevent the spread OF
influenza in Montpelier. There are
more cases In the city today than
there were two weeks ago. and the
disease is on the increase in Paris,
where every precaution possible has
been taken to prevent its appearance
The situation in this county further
eorroborates the statement made by
leading medical men Of the nation
that the "fiu disease is a mystery"
That being true, every. precaution
possible should be taken to prevent
its spread, but the closing of schools,
theatres and public gatherings gener-
ally seems to be a precaution that
does not prevent the disease from
spreading.
The health authorities in many
towns, not only in Idaho, but turnout
the nation, have come to this conclu-
sion and have thrown their towns
open. Montpelier and Paris are, we
believe, the only towns in Southeas-
tern Idaho which are closed. In Po-
catello, Blackfoot. Idaho Falls, Rex
burg, st. Anthony, American Falls
and Twin Falls the schools and pic
ture shows are running and all public
gatherings are permitted. Last FRI
day, after the Twin Falls schools had
been running two weeks, the superin-
tendent stated that out Of an enroll
ment OF 22OO pupils only eleven had
contracted the flu.
Every one of the towns mentioned
above had the flu In as bad form as
Montpelier, yet after it had passed
the epidemic stage the health officers
felt that 1t was no longer necessary
to keep their towns closed down
tight. So far as we have been able
to learn, their action has not resulted
seriously. A travelling salesman,
whose trrritory includes all of South
eastern Idaho, informed us last Tues
day evening that Montpelier was the
only town in his territory in which
the picture show was not running.
Experience is said to be the most
valuable teacher and 1t seems to us
that Montpelier should be guided by
the experience of other towns. II
not, why not? Are atmospheric or
sanitary conditions so different here
from what they are in our sister
towns that we can not do as they do?
Or are we living in the backwoods,
where superstition overrides common
sense? II we are let's get out and
do as our neighbors do. We have
lived in shell" long enough.
