parma Review

j., F. rKerrick, senator from Can
yon county, goes to Boise on January
4th,, toIbe present at the opening ses-
sion of the legislature, on January
9th AS the head of the legislative
delegation from Canyon county, Mr..
Kerrick enters upon his work aun-
trahnieled by political debts and cx-
poets to act ron each proposition
which comes before the senate entire
ly upon its''merits.i II is the opinion
of Mr." Kerrick that much important
legislation viii BE enacted at the pres
ent session, as real, progressive Leg
islatfon, upon matters pertinent to
the reconstruction era now upon us,
is the great need of the time SO far
as Mr.. Kerrick has been enabled to
meet the member Of the coming leg
islature, this seems to be the, general
opinion. Nearly all members of both
houses in the state legislature are
new, and those with whom Mr.. Ker-
rick has been in touch seem to be &C
tive and aconversant with, the needs
of the state Tdt l.--.,' f.a. q 81
/" Governor Anxious to Help. ,i
Following a recent discussion of
state affairs with Governor Davis,
Mr.. Kerrick found that the governor
is anxious to carry 6ut'the will of the
people and plans improvements for
the benefit Of the public in general
Governor Davis is very liberal and
broad minded" said ,, Mr.. Kerrick,
and is especially. anxious to keep in
close touch with the needs of the
public" a.l.t d., .,-..l..#.i ~
n Learns Public Thought.
Mr.. Kerrick has already received
many communications and held per-
sonal interviews with numbers of
persons who are actively interested
in. securing some change in the direct
primary law. AS it now stands there
seems to be much dissatisfaction with
Fit, according to Mr.. Kerrick, and
there is but little question but that
one OF the duties of the present legis-
lature will be to remodel it.
| The question of the division of Can
| yon county which has been agitated
to some extent. Mr.. Kerrick finds
| is not favored in general in the coun-
ty, and does not even awake any
great interest among Nampa citizens,
the site of the proposed county seat
of the new county, judging from the
opinion of those with whom Mr.. Ker-
rick has consulted The agitation is
mainly from the citizens OF Owyhee
county and will probably not develop
into an active fight.
| Land Board Legislation Expected.
The conduct of the affairs of the
Estate by the land board is another
matter which Mr.. Kerrick feels will
very probably interest the legisla-
kture. State Treasurer Eagleson has
for, some time been actively outlining
reform action in regard to the affairs
of the board and the legislature will
very probably approve his plans. z
Delegation In Harmony.
| AS the head Of the Legislative dele
Egation from Canyon county. Mr.. Kcr-
rick says it is the desire of the rep
tresentativcs and himself to work for
the people OF the county and state as
la whole, regardless of party, and the
men who represent Canyon are fully
qualified by training and disposition
to do this. Cecil Weeks. Of Caldwell
a farmer and sheepman, is an old
time resident Of this section: Cecil
tPeckham. of Wilder. who was re-
ielected, served two years ago; and
Mr.. Foley, Of Nampa, is also resi-,
dent farmer, interested in the wei
fare of the county and state. The
people of Parma will watch with in
terest the part Mr.. Kerrick and the
other Canyon county representatives
take in the legislation of this session
