THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

The message Of Governor Davis,
which was published In full last week
has struck a responsive chord almost
everywhere. II Is regarded as one OF
the most remarkable messages ever
delivered to a western legislature.
and dealt largely upon a recoEstruc-
ton of the state government to make
II more effective and less expensive.
Bills to make effective the recommen-
dations Of the message will be laid be-
fore the legislature, and there Is little
doubt but that they Will be passed
without material change. Members OF
the legislature we're very much sur
prised at the departure made from
former messages and very favorably
impressed by the recommendations.
There has been a demand for some
thing to be done for years that would
reduce expenses and Increase efficf.
5ncy, but no other governor has ever
had a plan to accomplish these pur-
poses. The message Is in strong con
trast to preceding messages because
its recommendations are specific. and
tells how to accomplish the purposes
sought instead of merely dealing In
generalities.

The secret OF the economy of the
Alexander administration Is out. 1t
consists In not paying ones bills. II
is estimated that the Alexander ad-
ministration left debts of 81 ,020, 900
and nothing to pay them with. The
present administration will not only
have to pay bills, but the cost OF run
ming the state besides. The tax levy
made by the Alexander board provides
for the raising of only $780, 600, which
is not quite enough to pay the estimat-
ed debts of the Alexander regime. The
new administration is confronted with
the problem of paying two years ex-
penses OF government with n years
revenue. How to meet this condition
without leyying an excessive state tax
IL a problem that is worrying the leg
islature and the new state administers
ton.

A MOVE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

II IL difficult to see how anyone,
except a professional political job
seeker, could find grounds for valid
objection To the bill introduced into
the state senate on Tuesday by the
state affairs commIttee-a bill which
aims at greatly reducing the number
OF offices, boards, bureaus and COM
missions and which is also designed to
make a big cut In the number of state
employees and In the states payroll.
For many years the tendency in
Idaho and in nearly all other states
has been toward a multiplication of
Offices and commissions. This ten
dency. while greatly expanding the
machinery of state government, has
not made for governmental efficiency,
and instead Of being economical IL
has been enormously ~extravagant. II
is encouraging to find that at last
the pendulum begins to swing in the
opposite direction, and II ID a matter
of pride that Idaho Is the third state
in the Union-Illinois and Kansas be-
ing the first two--in which concerted
movement Is made for efficiency and
economy.
The bill framed by the state affairs
committee of the state carries out
the recommendations made by Cover
nor Davis In his message delivered al
the opening OF the legislatures There
may be. and probably are, flaws In the
bill as II now exists, but even so the In
tent of the measure is excellent ane

Education for Returned Soldiers.

Rehabilitation work in the matter
OF education for soldiers is one OF the
problems confronting the country to-
day. Many young men whose plans
had been completed for University
courses will unquestionably now seek
colleges where they can complete
their training In the shortest posi-
BILE time.
More intensified courses of study
and more practical training will APP
peal TO men who want to get into ac-
tual work at an early date.
The Polytechnic College of Engin-
eering and Vocational Training locat-
ed In Oakland, California, is an insti.
tuition that Is attracting the attention
of many soldier boys who desire to
get an engineering education In the
shortest possible time.
This college was selected by the
War Department to give many courses
In Vocational Training under Section
u. s. A. T. c.
The College Is planning to continue
In a general way these intensified and
practical courses, no only for soldiers
but for all young men who wish to
specialize In certain definite engin-
eering professions.
