New State Propaganda

During the past several weeks many
OF the leading journals of the United
states have been publishing articles
telling of the attempt of north Idaho
to secede and of the effort to form a
new state of north Idaho and eastern
washington. Even If the attempt fails
north Idaho will get great deal OF
publicity as the subject is one of gem
eral interest to folks of eastern AZ
well as western states. The follow
ing article appeared in the Publish
ers Auxiliary, published in Chicago
ILL.,, last week:
The Idaho state legislature at its
recent session passed by heavy vote
In both senate and house a memorial
granting to the ten northern counties
OF Idaho the right to become a new
state with such portions of eastern
washington as may desire to Join with
them. The memorial provides for the
appointment of a commission of five
from the ten northern counties with
power to confer with 4 commission
appointed by the Washington legis-
lature, or in failure of the Washing
ton legislature to make a similar APP
pointment, with any body-howeyer
created-from Washington. Memoir
ials to congress will thus be ready
for submission at the 1923 sessions OF
both the Idaho and Washington legis-
latures. The idea embraces the fur
ther consideration that western coun-
ties in Montana along the Great
Northern which would be better
served with their capital at Spokane
will be invited to become part of
the inland empire state The placing
OF the memorial before the Idaho leg
islature came up spontaneously. AT
a meeting of the Bonners Ferry COM
mercial club along in January the
proposal came up that the long-talked-
OF effort to secure state of the in
land empire counties should be
launched and that with a memorial
the Idaho legislature allow
ing the ten northern counties of Idaho
to "secede," a long step would be
taken in getting the proposition under
way. The Standpoint chamber of COM
merce sent to Boise George r. Barker,
editor of the Pend d'Oreille Review
at Standpoint, Attorney H. H Taylor
and l.. d. Farmin of that city. Mr.
Taylor drafted the memorial as passed
by the Idaho legislature. Sandpoint's
delegation were ably assisted in their
efforts by Senator Charles w. King,
editor of the Boomers Ferry Herald
who served his first term in the Ida
ho senate this year. Barker and King
have been republican party warehouses;
in Bonner and Boundary counties for
many years. King has served his
county organization as county chair
man, and Barker, who is a former
secretary of state of Idaho, has been
his party's state committeeman for
Bonner county for many years. Their
state acquaintance aided materially in
putting the memorial through the Ida
ho legislative body.
