Two years ago the whole session
was a jangle and a failure because a
road bill with not half the progress
sive features this one has was at
tempted. Four years ago an election
hinged on the road sentiment to q
large extent. This time threats were
made that unless the affirmative
! election feature was put in this bill
! it would be again made state issue
and political parties would be shat
tered and divided because of it.
Political Ambitions Manifest.
Some of the ardent good roads adj
yocates, especially on the house side,
say that the senate sacrificed the
vital feature of the bill on the
altar of political ambition, there be-
ing one candidate for governor, two
candidates for acknowledgement
three for Encouragement, and pos
sibly half a dozen for other state Of

the Jim Pierce political leaders, that
unless the affirmative election fea-
ture was put in the bill he would car

campaign, presumably as candi-
date for governor himself, seemed
to brighten the members into this
compromise as much as anything
else Pitt now states that the fight is
all over and he is satisfied.
Drastic Bank Law Adopted.
In the house all day Thursday
there was no less intrest in a con-
test to put across the proposed bank

tendent of banking the right to re-
ject the application of any proposed
bank for charter where he believes
the community is we'll and adequate

doing anything to stop the deal, and
of "unseemly" controversy with the
attorney-general over the Rathbun
case instead of cooperation.
At the same time Attorney General
Havner is found to be guilty of nine
points of official failue, which are
set out in the finding of facts and
which it is suggested would warrant
Impeachment, especially in aiding
and advising the quashing of indict-
ments in Ida county.
Mr.. Byers does not specially
recommend Impeachment of either
Harding or Havner, but indicates
that there is evidence on which trial
for impeachment can be based. The
rest of the matter is with the judici-
airy committee, and that committee
went into the case with determine

prejudice against the governor. Sew

in order to finally dispose of the
matter so that the members can con-
tinue their legislative work uninter-
rupted. Their verdict may be only
censure for both Harding and Hav-
ner-a slap on the wrist, as it were.

Road Law Compromised.

big road bill in the senate Thursday
after a six hours decision that at
