in the new act
In providing for tax levies, the meas
ure states, the limit in the common
schools shall be 10 mills. Provision is
also made for the hire of school
wagons and at rate of $40 per school
month for each child.
In the Independent districts the levy
shall be 10 mills with mills extra
upon a financial showing, to be al
lowed by the state board of education
If this is not sufficient the board OF
trustees can then levy an additional
tax not to exceed mills to be used for
the care of bonded indebtedness, sink.
ing fund and maturing obligations.
The act also requires that all per-
sons in the state must continue in
school until the age of 1S unless they
have completed the eighth grade.
The proposed law would also desig-
nate the following as school holidays
New Years, Memorial day, July Fourth
Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Under the terms of the proposed
law the bond limit would be raised
from 6 to per cent in all schools.
Most important of the bills intro
duced in the lower house Friday was
house bill No. lit, by the state affairs
committee, which repeats the action
taken by the legislature of 1919 APP
propriating s1S0,000 for the erection OF
two state tuberculosis hospitals. The
measure provides for meeting all obli-
cations incurred to date by the tuber-
culosis commission, including the pur-
chase of sites for the proposed hospit-
ais at Standpoint and Payette, and
plans for the hospitals prepared by ar
chitects, but requires that all moneys
remaining in the fund shall revert to
the general fund of the state.
House bill No. lis, by Peck, pro-
vides the manner in which the referen-
dunn amendment to the state constitu-
ton shall be put into effect, how
legislative enactments shall be put
upon the general election ballot and
become law on popular vote.
Legislators of the sixteenth session
have a scheme to pay for the mainte-
nance of Idaho highways by levying a
state tax of about 2 cents gallon on
gasoline. 1t is estimated that this will
produce a revenue of five hundred
thousand dollars year, and will re-

lieve the state from making direct ap-
preparations for this purpose. 1t is
claimed too, that this will place the
tax directly on those who derive the
direct benefit, on the owners of auto
mobiles and trucks, and it will relieve
ordinary citizens from this part of the
tax burden.
bill removing the appointive
power for certain offices from the
hands Of the governor may be intro
duced into the senate, it was an
nounced Thursday Advocates Of the
move claim that the people want a
hand in filling some of the appointiye
offices
The proposed measure if passed will
make the following offices elective:
Commissioner of agriculture, commits
lsioner of commerce and industry; com
missioner of finance, commissioner of
immigration, labor and statistics; COM
missioner of law enforcement; com
missioner of public welfare. and the
commissioner of public works.
Under the terms Of the proposed
measure the appointment of the bur-
eau heads in the various departments
would be left with the elective head
who, sponsors of the movement say.
would be responsible to the people and
not to the governor.
Legislators announced Monday that
the bill would be formulated within
few days and referred to the state af-
fairs committee.
Sentiment among members of the
house and senate in general is that
Gov. ID. w. Davis is not to be called to
a portfolio in the cabinet of President
Harding. There are still ardent sup
porters of the governor, but they are
in the minority. Some think that
George Sutherland, former United
States senator from Utah, is to be
made secretary of the interior; others
anticipate the selection of Senator A
B. Fall of New Mexico, who is under
stood to be with Mr.. Harding in Flor
ida at this time. Few hope for the
selection of Governor Davis as things
are shaping up at present.
This is having an important bearing
on the mixing of political war-paint
as the session progresses. 1t is ex-
pected to have a marked influence on

With Governor Davis in Washington
and eliminated from direct participa-

and as governor he would be sur

to have on legislation at this session.
One interesting bit of gossip that flew
about the state house corridors recent
ly was to the effect there is strong
working agreement between Senator
M. B. Yeaman, Representative John w
Shook and John r. Becker, the expert
accountant who had much to do with
the preparation of the audit commits
sion of which Senator Yeaman was
head. This combination is credited
by some with plans to put into opera
ton much of the program laid down
in the audit commission report. BY
others the trio is credited with plans
for cutting big figure in the politics
of the state in the next biennium.

WORK IS STARTED
 ON YANKEES PARK
Engineers Look Over Site Se-
 leCted by Club Owners

New York, Feb. 7.-work on the new stadium of the Yankees, at 161st street and River avenue, in the Bronx. was started this morning. That gives fair idea of how much time the Rup-
 pert-Huston combination plans to waste in the plan to give New York the biggest and best in baseball archi- lecture. Engineers were on the scene early today to take up the problems of filling, grading and drainage. and this important preliminary detail probably will be completed in about two weeks. The drainage will be an important feature of the new park owing to the proximity of the site to the Harlem River, which is a tidal water. and the necessity of having the field as dry as possible for base ball
 While the surveyors are doing their work at the field. the Liberation of the preliminary building plans will be going on under tho direction of the Osborn Engineering company of Cleveland, which company will draw up all the details for the construction of the stadium. The engineers con- nected with the Cleveland concern are well Versed in this particular line of work, having drawn the plans for the stands at the Polo Grounds, Braves Field in Boston, and the ma ior league parks at Detroit, Cleveland and Washington. Colonel T. L. Huston, half owner of the Yankees, was en- gagged for years in engineering and construction work before he came into baseball, and he has made close study of grandstand construction for the last six years. All the best features of construction employed at other parks, coupled with improvements suggested by Colonel Huston, will be embodied in the complete plans about to be drawn for the Yankees stadium.
 The field, it is expected, will be ready for the start of the stadium construction by May. The grading will entail little work. but the ground is not yet fit for labor that must be done. It is possible that the legal compl- cations in connectnon with the closing of Cromwell avenue and 15Sth street may cause some delay in the start of work on the stadium. No great op- position is expected, however and the new owners are confident that this de- tail will be arranged within a short the streets is to be filed this week.,

BRETON AND LEWIS TO
 MIX TT AGAIN TONIGHT
WcltcrwCight Champion Will Face Former Title Holder for the
 Nintccnth Time.

New York. Feb. 7.-Jack Britton. the welterweight champion of the world. who will walk into the ring at Madison Square Garden tonight a thoughtful old man" of the ring Long since past the day of usefulness as ring warriors are rated, Jack Brit ton must defend his wclterweight titlo against younger man and ono who once beat him for the title.
 Ted (Kid) Lewis comes a-bearding tonight. He is a lean. gaunt, emaci- ated looking individual with aston ishing powers of assimilation and en- durance. A splendid boxer. crafty almost to fault, he is out to do or die tonight. for it is to him that Eng land must now look for a champion.
 By way of warming up for this en- gagement with the champion, Lewis went to England and twice "outed" Johnny Basham, the English we1ter- weight champion. Britton knows the manner of man he is meeting. Prec- ious little chance of him being ignor- ant of his subject this night, as they have faced each other in nearly twenty different bouts, each and every one of them a furious affair because of their blood lines. Hist Britton is Irish and Lewis English.
