In an action against the city ad
ministration. District Judge Babcoch
ordered publication of quarterly re.
ports of the city treasurer, covering
period of nearly two years. The
court took under advisement the
case wherein the Twin Falls highway
district is asked to file and publish
certain reports showing financial
condition and road-building progress
and is to render judgment Saturday.
Counsel for the highway district
argued that the district had COM
pleted publication and filing Of these
reports, altho not at that time re-
quired by law. Hearing on custer
proceedings against the highway dis
trict commissioners was today con-
tinued until April 26, upon motion
of counsel for the district, who
argued that time would be required
for examination of the fifty causes
of action set forth against each of
the three commissioners.

BLACKFOOT MAY
CONTRIBUTE NEXT
IDAHO GOVERNOR
Peter C. Johnston Men.
toned as Likely Can
didate for Guber-
material Position

There were several men in the
last Idaho legislature whose names
have since it's adjournment been
linked with the governorship. Gov
ernor Davis having been reelected
for a second term, which he is now
serving, it is taken for granted that
he will not be candidate to succeed
himself for tn ird term.
Chief among these so-called guber-
national apsirants is Lieutenant Gov
ernor C. G. Moore, president of the
senate. The friends of Mr.. Moore
wanted to place him in nomination
at the last Pocatello convention, but
he declined to permit his name to be
used unless the convention developed
into "free-for-all." Governor
Davis had most of the delegates and
as a result his nomination followed
by acclamation. Moore is said to
have all of the necessary qualiflca-
tions for governor. He is a business
man of no small means. He has the
finances to carry him thru the cam
paign and to leave his business. He
is familiar with the affairs of state,
AoVAA6 tWlSO ~ OOAuOu ONOl LILO OCA-
ate. He has large acquaintance
among men in both parties. He wants
to be governor of Idaho and his name
will go down before the next state
convention. Lieutenant Governor
Moore's home and business is at st.
Anthony, in the upper Snake river
valley.
House Has Aspirant
The house also has an aspirant
who is looked upon as equally strong.
He is Representative Peter G.. John
ston of Blackfoot, speaker of the
lower assembly. Heretofore his
name has been linked with congress-
man. 1t seems to have been pretty
generally understood here that he
would not decline the nomination for
governor If it was presented to him
by his party. Speaker Johnston is an
able i. parliamentarian. He is-~a
speaker Of unusual ability, For
many sessions he was chairman Of
the state affairs committee and
therefore is thoroly familiar with the
workings of the state government.
His business is stock and sheep rails
ing, and in this business he made
considerable money. He is a Mormon.
Going back to the senate, there is
another Republican, whose name has
been linked with that of governor.
He is Senator M. B. Yeaman of Idaho
Falls. Yeaman is a newspaper man
by profession. For two terms he has
served in the senate and each term
he has been chairman of the state
affairs committee, mouthpiece of the
state administration. He, too, stands
high in the councils of his party.
The fourth legislator who came
into prominence and whose friends
are grooming him as possible guber-
national timber is gorge H. Van De-
Steeg of Nampa. Van DeSteeg
made record as a leader in the
house. He lined up with the pro-
gressive wing of that assembly and
became champion of the direct pri- !
mary. 1t was largely thru his efforts
the complete control of the house |
passed from the so-called alministra-
tion forces and centered with the pri- I
mary faction. Van DeSteeg was not /
alone in this, but he proved his abil-
ity to gather working force about :
him which shows executive ability.

MISS GUSSIE JOHNSON PASSES
AWAY.

Miss Gussie Johnson, aged IL
years, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R
L. Johnson, died Tuesday morning
at $40 o'clock at her home on the
North side of Lexington, after four
weeks of illness of typhoid fever, be-
ing one of four members of the fam
lily with the same disease.
Miss Gussie was just making the
turn from girlhood into young wo-
manhood, being IS years of age last
March 1st, and her death just at that
time always seems one Of the sad
dest. She was a quiet, affectionate,
obedient girl and having chosen to
follow the beaten path of religion, in
the Southern Methodist faith, there
is an abiding hope that she has gone
to a place Of rest and eternal joy,
with which the best the world gives
its favorte sons and daughters, can
never compare. She was Sunday
school attendant and her membership
was with the Lexington church.
The funeral occurred Wednesday

DEATH oFMoNRoE ROBERTS

Monroe Roberts, aged a little more
than Sc years, died last Friday at his
home on what is known as the Barn
hill place, on the lands of Tom Rob-
erts, five miles North of Lexington.
Mr.. Roberts had been ailing for some
time from a complication of diseases,
but was able to be in Lexington but a
few days before his death.
He is survived by his wife and
three children at home, five other
children being married. He was not a
member of any church, but believed
the Missionary Baptist faith and Rev.
King, of Yuma, a minister of that
church, who was holding a meeting at
Bible Grove a few miles away, was
called to officiate at the funeral last
Saturday, at the graveyard in the
old Bird district.
Those who knew Monroe Roberts
and lived near him, say there was no
better neighbor- in our opinion,
no higher single tribute could be paid
him.

HOW CRIMINALS
CAN Re FOUGHT.

Edtorially suggesting how erimi-
mails can be fought and crime sup
pressed in Memphis, the News Scim-
itar says:
"They can be fought if every good
citizen in Memphis will make up his
mind to have law enforcement. They
can be fought if every good citizen
will quit deriding and ridicuhng the
efforts Of those who are honestly be-
hind this movement for a strict en-
forcement of the law. They can be
fought if many of our good citizens
will quit making petty speeches, per
feet alibies, lodging jury service,
buying bootleg whisky, ignoring the
evil places openly operated, and
winking knowingly at the talk of
graft among the men charged with
enforcement of the law"
just what the News Scimitar saws
is necessary in behalf of law enforce
ment at Memphis, holds good as to
Lexington and Henderson county
everywhere, With the good citizen
ship behind the law, it can not fall
before the crooks.

WARNS AGAINST
FALSE TAX RETURNS

Claiming that his attention has
heen called to the fact that certain
merchants are claiming depreciation
on their stocks due to the decline in
the market, yet charging practically
the same prices in retailing their mer-
chandise as they did at the time of
buying them, A. V. Louthan. state
tax commissioner, issued letter yes
terday to the county court clerks over
the state warning them against this
practice
Some time ago Mr.. Louthan issued
a letter to the county court clerks
telling them that merchants would be
allowed to show book value in one
column and actual cash in the other,
where it differs from book value due
to decline in the market.-Tennes-
