full suffrage to women for q years,
almost since the birth of the state, 1t
seems peculiarly fitting that Idaho
should play a part In finally granting
to women her rights in the shaping of
national affairs. l have had under
consideration for many days the call
ing of special session and / have now
decided that this cali should go out
for Wednesday, February IL 1929. 1t
has been intensely gratifying to me
to find that large proportion Of the
members of the fifteenth session have
been willing to come here at their
own expense for the purpose of rati-
flying the suffrage amendment 1t
shows q unanimity and breadth Of
purpose which is distinct compli-
ment to the personnel of the legisla-
ture. However 1t is not fundamental
ly correct to ask members who shall
assemble here for a great cause to alb
sorb their own expense. l shall ask
the body to confine its appropriation
for expenses to the amount expended
by each member and l am certain
that they win gladly acquiesce. The
formal call for the session will stipu-
late that no legislation other than
ratification Of the suffrage mend
ment NAV be taken uD."

ALASKA ROADS TO GET INCREASE

While $322,0OO for Alaska roads is not nearly as good as the $739,0OO ROT as good as the $442,000 that was that was asked for by Major Waugh, recommended by the war department, it is a whole lot better than the $1OO,, te6 that was first agreed upon by the military affairs committee of the house of representatives Major Waugh s trip to the national capital, aDpar- ently, has gained for Alaska some s222,200, and that was worth the time and energy required.
 The appropriation ought not to be less than $1O0O,O00, and it should be continued at that sum for an indefi- nite term of years And it would not be hand-out, either, for the federal government would then be contribut- ing far less in proportion to the prop, eYty owned and benefits derived than the other property owners in the terri tory. However, let us be glad that we will have the $322,O00 this year and let us ask for the million next year-Juneau Empire.

A THEORY ONCE MORE

Orders were issued last night by the city council to close all places of public gathering, the picture shows, dance halls and other entertainment because of the great number of cases of what physicians tell us is influenza.
 There probably can be no censure of the city administration for taking this action, in view of the attitude and recommendation of the physicians, to whose judgment in such matters the average layman must bow Such ac- tion may prevent the further spread of the disease which is so feared gen. orally, and it may help to restore the public health; but who knows? It is a theory at best. To this statement physicians might take exception, yet it is but about eighteen months ago that they had us wearing the unsani- taTy and intellectual flu mask, which is now admitted to be detriment to tAe public health.
 Authorities say that when the in- fuenza epidemic was at it's worst in the fall of 1918 the cities which per- mitted their business to go on as usual had no worse results than those that throttled their citizens with filthy gauge gags and closed up tight.
 But as the city council can not do otherwise than as advised by the phy- sicians, whether right or wrong, Ketchikan is ordered closed up And as it is the regulation that it must be closed, everyone should obey to the letter, avoiding the public gatherings, to get whatever benefit there is to be gained from such an order.
 Consideration should be taken by tAe city authorities also that there are several institutions in Ketchikan which have big investments, that they have number of persons depending upon them for their livelihood, and that it will be an extreme hardship for them to remain closed for any length of time True, that should not be considered in comparison with the health of the general public, but care should be- taken that no greater hard ship than is necessary should be heaped upon them. And they should be permitted to open again as quickly as conditions will permit.
 Despite the spread of the epidemic of influenza throughout many parts of the United States, no city or town is known to have been closed up tight.
