NEW PRIMARY LAW
SIGNED BY DAVIS
COVE RNOR THREATENED TO
VETO BILL BUT SIGNED AFTER
AMENDMENTS MADE

BOISE.-GOvernor Davis Monday
signed the direct primary bill as it
came from the legislature. He had
+! threatened to veto it and no doubt
would have done SO had not the leg
lslature agreed to certain changes.
AS the bill was no longer in the pos
session of the legislature it could not
alter it. and the governor could not
return it for further action excepting
attached to a veto message. After the
agreement to amend the bill, how
ever, the governor made it law and
the amendments have been made The
principal change relates to filing Of
nomination papers. The original meas
ure provided that the certificate of
the county chairman as to the candi-
Gates politics was to be attached
Governor Davis regarded that as too
much power to be placed in one mans
hands and the feature was eliminated.
Under the change members of the par
ty may certify.
The primary bill provides for
state convention of each party but the
delegates are selected at a county
urinary which brings out an express
sive vote
The primary law has been amend
ed to this extent in response to a
state wide demand Dissatisfaction
with the old system was general be-
cause of the unnecessary political tur-
mail. the inability to induce men to
enter the lists for offices they are
qualified to hold, the premium placed
upon incompetency and even worse be-
cause of lack of public knowledge of |
the qualification of many candidates
total strangers, the expense and |
ether reasons.
All county and legislative, also dis
frict offices will be filed at the coun-
" primary. There was a feeling that
he entire law should be repealed, but
t was felt that where it was possible
or the people to know the candidates,
is in any county, it was better to re-
ain that portion of the act and mod
fly the statewide feature
Democrats in the legislature Joined.

aw and the name OF a democrat, Sen
tor Farraday of Gilmore county, ap-
,ears on the bill.

SEEK PARDON FOR TRAITORS.

We are in receipt of a new kind of
propaganda 1t is an incomplete"
edition of the Labor Tribune, pub
lished by j. w. Vitchestain, at Pitts
burg, Pa, and copies of what is term
ed the incomplete" issue are being
sent to newspaper publishers through
out the United States. This special
edition is entirely devoted to what it
terms the greatest problem con-
fronting the American people today"
This greatest problem" is to secure
the pardon of eight leaders of the
international Bible Students" Asso-
citation who were given terms of 20
years at hard labor for publishing
and circulating German propaganda
in an effort to prevent men from en-
fering the army after the draft call
had been made.
The name of the man who is given
as editor of the paper is enough to
arouse suspicion. That is not an Am
erican nor an English name. The
bearer of that name is asking the
newspapers of the United States to
start a campaign for the pardon of
these men and places that as of great
er importance than the league of ma
tions or any other problem before The
American people.
These men, working under the
guise of religion, flooded the country
with literature printed and distributed
by money sent from Germany, to in
fluence the American people against
entering the war. The work was
called "The Finished Mystery" 1t
was supposed to have been written
by the late "Pastor RUSSELL but only
certain parts of the sermons of that
great preacher are used in the work,
which is cunningly written appeal to
the religious zealots to refuse to con-
tribute to the Liberty loan or other
war activities and to refuse to enlist |
or help defeat Germany.
These men were clearly guilty. A |
jury found them guilty as charged
ana the court sentenced UneIn TO serve |
20 years. Now German propaganda
lists are trying to secure the release
of these men who used socalled
to help the kaiser, and
the newspapers of Idaho and Wash
ington are asked to urge their con-
gressional delegations to bring pres
sure to bear upon President Wilson
TO pardon them.
If these men are to be pardoned
we suggest that pardons be issued to
Bill Haywood and the other l. w. w.
outlaws sentenced with him and that
Victor Berger and his codefendants
De granted pardons. Surely these :
men are no less guilty than the others !
Ill of whom got 20 years for inter
,ering with the government while at

destined in time to make him the ricn- est man in the world
 l In 1866 the oil refining firm of Will liam Rockefeller & Go. was establish. ed, consisting of William Rockefeller John D. Rockefeller and Samuel And rews. In 1869 the firm of Rockefeller, An drews and Flagler was merged into the Standard Oil company of Ohio, with $1,O0O,0O0 capital. r In 1882 he organized the Standard 1 Oil trust, which was dissolved in 1892 and since then various companies have been operated separately but under i identical control.
 In 1911 MT. Rockefeller retired from active direction of the colossal in- dustrial enterprises which his genius and energy had established. The most authoritative estimates , put MT. Rockellers' present holdings at $1, 200, 900 and his yearly income at $6O, 100000.
 His income is larger than the com bined income of all the sOvereigns of Europe In federal income tax last year he paid 3S,4O0,000. He is frugal almost to penurious- ness in his personal expenditures. His houses are unostentious, his habits are l truly simple. He lives like any we'll , to-do middle class man. ,
 As a youth he became identified with the Baptist chuPch and has al ways been a most atcive and gener- ous supporter of the denomination. His gifts to the church grew greater in portion to the increase in his income.
 The total gifts of MT. Rockefeller to colleges, schools, churches, missions and other charitable causes now a. mount to $2OO,OOO,OOO or more. He claims that the greatest happi- ness that has come to him has been identifying himself witr Christianity. He is a moral man, of blameless private life. He doesn't drink, nor does he smoke.
 He never speculates-he deals only with those things which other people have proved sure.
 He declares that his success is due 
 to the training he had at home and his willingness to work.
 He says that the first aim of every young man desirous to succeed in life should be to win a reputation for in- tegrity.
 His speech is low, deliberate, agree able and has something of the rhyth- mic cadence of a preacher. ] Days spent on the golf links have given him a rather ruddy complexion i He has small, keen steel blue, restless eyes. He has a wide, thin-lipped | mouth, scanned at the corners with lines of repression and tenacity. MT. Rockefeller was an old man at 60 but through care, careful diet and exercise is a young man at 80.

 The first shipment was 1OS trucks the second Fl, and with this late ship ment the state is about to receive from the governmen nearly 300 trucks of all sizes and makes for use on the state highway construction.
 These trucks were purchased for the war department. during the late un- pleasantness and were turned over to the department of agriculture to be apportioned among the states to use in highway development in the same pro- portion as federal aid is appropriated.

Loss of Appetite,

AS general rule there is nothing serious about a loss of appetite, and if you ship meal or only eat two meals day for few days you will soon have relish for your meals when meal time comes. Bear in mind that. at least five hours should all ways elapse between meals so as to give the food ample time to digest and the stomach a period of rest be- fore second meal is taken. Then if you eat no more than you crave and take reasonable amount of out door exercises every day you will not need to worry about your appetite. When the loss of appetite is caused by constipation as it often is the case that should be corrected at once. A dose of Chamberlain's Tablets will do

Senator Calder Introduces
Bill Providing Zone Sys-
tenn for the District.

Aiming to prevent the construction
of stores. garages and other buildings
in the residential section of the city.
Senator Calder. of New York. yes
terday introduced a bill providing for
the appointment of a zoning commits
sion for the District of Columbia.
1t will be the function of this COM
mission to zone the city as to the
height. area, and character of build
ings hereafter to be erected. with full
authority to enforce its DEGREES after
hearings have been held and all
property owners heard.
The measure is not intended to be
retroactive. or to eliminate any build
inEs already constructed. As to the
height of structures. the existing law
as to maximum height is in nowise
affected.
The fight of property owners in the
northeast against the construction of
a refuse plant in their section is be-
lieved to be the immediate cause for
introducing the bill at this time. The
proposed new ZoninG commission
would practically absorb the more i'm
portant functions of the office of the
District building inspector. 1t would
exercise an almost autocratic control
over building operations in the city
within the limitations of the law Gre

the sanction of the District Commits
