MENTS BEING DRAFTED

BOISE, Jan.-With the passage
this morning of the code adoption in
the senate, the way is now clear for
action in the house on many bills
which have been held up in commit
tee A compromise following several
conferences of the senate code COM
nittee brought the agreement that
all of the laws of this session would
be included in the .codeification COM
pleted next summer.
The administration Capitalization
measure will probably come up at this
afternoons session as it has been
the debate over its provisions will
lead to cannot be forecasted at this
time.
BOISE, Jan.-Senators Armstrong,
Nash, Kerrick, Porter and Robertson
now have the drafting of amendments
to the state primary law in their
hands. They will complete their work
within a few days and the finished
product will be presented to the upper
house during the week.
It is believed here that the final
result of legislative action will be
compromise between the elements
which on the one hand desire the re-
pcdI VI lIG law anu OH IIl0 OCIlGI llItlS
interference with it. 1t can be stated
authoritively that should the law be
repealed the governor would exercise
his constitutional right to veto the
measure. 1t: is also said that should
the amendment not be too drastic that
he Would favor changes should the
legislature so desire.
BOISE, Jan.-It is possible that
members of the legislature will de-
mand to know why several mines in
northern Idaho have been closed
thereby adding to the problem of the
unemployed in the state. An import
ant meeting was held today by mem
bers of the emigration and labor COM
mittees of the two houses. Legisla-
ton to relieve the unemployed and
to provide labor at once is in the max
ing. Committee members were re-
luctant to give out informa ton, but it
is known that there is dearth of
work for large numbers of men and
that the problem is daily increasing.
Road construction, it was urged by
the committees, should begin at the
earliest possible moment.

COUNTY ATTORNEY FIND 100
GALLONS OF WINE

Deputy Sheriff Charles Summerfield
and County Attorney John Nisbet
made a raid yesterday at Potlatch on
the Italian quarters and captured over
100 gallons of red wine, called "Dago
red" Three Italians were arrested
and are to arrive in Moscow tonight.
The wine was stored mostly in bar
rels and tested about 80 per cent of
alcohol. The officers appear to be
carrying out their prediction pledge
of ridding Latah county of bootlegging
joints 1t is safe to say that bootleg
ging will soon see its last days with
these officers.
A large and enthusiastic crowd of
people were at the depot in Potlatch
to see the sheriff off on his maiden
trip Several were there with cam
eras and took snap shots of him as
he rounded the corner at the depot
carrying a ten-gallon carbouy of the

A meeting was held last evening at
the office of the U. S. Employment
Service, for the purpose of discussing
the ways and means of providing labor
for the men that are now being dis
charged from the army and navy
L. F. Parsons, representative of the
U. S. Employment Service stated that
the department of labor had placed
representatives of the employment
service at each army camp and the
men were filling out application cards,
for work. These applications were
then sent to the office of the employ
ment service nearest the residence of
the applicant. He stated that each
day was bringing applications for en-
ployment and that he anticipated that
these applications would increase in
numbers as the rapidity of demobil-
izatiOn of the army increased. He
stated that the procuring of positions
for. the men was becoming quite a
problem and causing considerable con-
Germ on the part of all interests that
have the good of the nation at heart.
Secretary Morrison of the American
Federation of Labor, recently stated
that he anticipates the bread line in
all large industrial centers before
spring. Representatives of large in
dutries have expressed like concern
over the situation.
Unemployment is rapidly approach
ing crisis which may become serious
to the nation. The war between auto
cracy and democracy is over, but we
are now confronted with the possibil-
ity of war between democracy and
Bolshevikism; between capital and
labor. The radical element of our
population have thrown down the
Lot 70
taking every advantage of the recon-
5truction period to further their
cause. During the past several weeks
we have seen large gatherings of peo-
pie in New York, Philadelphia and
other cities on our eastern border; in
Chicago, Milwaukee, in our central
states and in San Francisco, Seattle,
Portland and Spokane on our western
border, applaud and endorse and show
their allegiance to the red flag of Boil
shevicks of Russia, and if they can
have their way America will be the
Russia of tomorrow. They are en-
deavoring to augment their numbers
from the returning soldiers, by pro-
viding assistance to them in the way =
1f food and beds.
The federal government has rec
,gnized the danger of the reconstruc-
ion period and is calling upon the
7arious' states, counties and munich
)alities to create labor by proceeding
It once to take up municipal improve
nents, to build roads, streets, and
,ther improvements that will absorb
abor.
That this work may be created at
he earliest possible date, the repre-
entative of the employment service
ave been urgd to stimulate the ac-
ivity of the road, and school dis
riots, cities and other municipalities
long this line. For the purpose of
arryng out the wishes of the govern
lent the above committee was ap-
ointed The committee will hold its
irst meeting this evening when 1T will
rganize by electing a chairman and
xecutive committee.

Admission Taxes Not to
be Increased.

WASHINGTON.- - The taxes on
amusement admissions will not be
increased in the new war revenue bill.
The conferees of the house and senate
today agreed to rescind their previous
decision to increase the tax rate from
ten to twenty per cent on such adj
missions. The theatre associations of
against this increase, giving as their
reason that the increased tax would
force a majority of the theatres in
the country to close, thus throwing
many thousands of people out of en-
ployment. Petitions signed by mil
lions of names had been secured pro-
testing against the increase.

TIES UP RAIL
TRAFFIC TO LEWISTON
Heavy Rains Cause Dirt to Slide OH
Track Between Kendrick and
Juliaetta.

A land slide caused by the heavy
rains occurred during the night on the
Northern Pacific, between Kendrick
and Juliaetta. A body of earth and
rock, slide from the side hill, onto the
track, the slide measuring about S5
feet long by eight feet deep, prevent
ing the arrival of the 10: As passenger
train from Lewiston.
The 1922 train passed through Mos
COW from Spokane, to meet the Lew
iston train at the slide, making a
transfer of passengers, each train then
backing to turning table. A ditcher
from Spokane is dispatched to help
in moving the debris. 1t is doubtful
whether the way will be open for the
eight o'clock passenger train tonight.

ministration construction bill was
taken UP by the legislature yesterday
and, according to the program map
ped out by the majority, it is to be
given preference of all pending legis-
lation to determine what can be done
with it.
One of the more important bills to
make it's appearance was introduced
in the house today by Representative
Hunt of Madison county. Its object
is transferral of the school tax levy
from county to state jurisdiction,

school burden where it belongs, or on
the more affluent sections of the

ton is authorized to place the levy

all children of school age in the state.
Another county division bill is to

division bill, which had previously
passed the house, and will become a q
law with the governors signature

MAY HAVE USED WAR
STAMPS TO KINDLE FIRE


VISALIA. = Postoffice inspectors
are investigating the circumstances
surrounding the disappearance of ITO
War Savings certificates, valued at
slightly in excess of $500, which were
recently reported missing by Post
master F. J. Klindera, of the Upton
postoffice Upon their findings will
likely depend the question as to
whether Postmaster Klindera must
permanently stand the loss or whether
the government will accept his theory
that he deliberately burned the
stamps in the stove at his home
through carelessness in which event
he may be reimbursed.
Mr.. Klindera, though admitting
that he is not certain, expresses the
belief that he used the stamps to start
a fire for his sick daughters COM
