GOVERNOR USES
POWER FREELY
Places Stamp of Disap-
proval on Special
Appropriations

Boise. March Especial appropria-
tions for special purposes will have a
hard time getting by Governor Moore
until the legislature has passed the ap-
preparations for the necessary expens-
es of state government, according to a
message sent to the House of Repre-
sentatives. Saturday. by Governor c.
c. Moore, in which he vetoed an ap-
preparation of 81 1900 for readers to
the blind at the state university. Gov
ernor Moore suggested that this work
might be done by the regular faculty
without extra expense to the taxpay-
ers.
The Governors veto message, which
is taken as an indication of his stand
on special appropriation measures. re-
cites the fact that he is pledged to
the people OF Idaho to hold down ex-
penses and he can not keep that pledge
il special calls for state funds are not
permitted to pile up.
His message follows:
"Hon.M. A. Kiger, Speaker of
the House of Representatives,
Building. Dear Sir: return to
you herewith. without my approv-
al, House Bill No. 100, making an
appropriation of Sl.500 for read
ers for blind students.
Until the appropriations have
been passed for the necessary
functions of the state and its in
stitutions and an idea arrived at
as to the final figure which the
state levy may reach. | do not
feel that | would be keeping my
pledge to the people of Idaho to
hold down tax levies If | should
permit special appropriations, no
matter how small. to accumulate
into an amount beyond the ability
OF the people to pay.
This bill provides for work to
be carried out at the state uni
versity and the apparent amount
OF such work is not so great but
that. | believe, it could be done
by the regular faculty without ad-
ditional expense.
Respectfully yours.
c. c. Moore, Governor"

GOVERNOR ASKS
SPEEDY ACTION
Wants Legislature to
Get Busy on Con-
structive Work

N-A'~"NN%Hf
Boise, March 9. - Calling attention
OF the legislature to the fact that the
real tax burdens OF the people of Ida
no are the levies made by local taxing
units. Governor c. c. Moore on Sat-
urday sent a message to both houses
urging that administration bills be
passed which would lower the taxing
limits of local bodies.
Bills have been introduced making
reductions in the maximum limits of
levies in school districts, cities. coun-
ties and highway districts. These bills
are considered among the most i'm
portant in the legislative session and
the governor asked the legislature to
pass them as the outstanding relief
measures OF the session.
The governor also recited the fact
that his recommendation in his bud
get showed a substantial saving in
state expenses and urged the legisla-
ture to use care not to cripple any de-
partment of state or the state insti-
tutions.
The governors message follows:
ITO the Members CT the Seventeenth
Session, Idaho State Legislature:
"Fifty-hve of the sixty days OF your
session have passed.
"In my message TO you on the hrst
day | made various recommendations
of vital importance to your constitu-
ents. not least OF which was that
saving OF at least 25 per cent over that
OF two years previous should be made
in taxes, and two days later | submit
ted to you the budget with recommen-
dations and estimates that would make
a saving OF nearly two million dollars
and a reduction of over two mills in
the annual state levy.
'The budget submitted TO you would
permit this substantial reduction in
the state tax levy without hampering
the efficient conduct of the states
business or Gripping any OF its insti-
tutions.
u also urged that the maximum lev
les and bonding limits fixed for local
taxing bodies be materially reduced,
the state tax being a very small part
Of the whole tax The last annual
state tax levy was $50 mills, but the
whole tax taken as an average over
the state was 42.5S mills and in some
local taxing units reached from 90 to
81 mills.
"Bills have been introduced that, If
passed, will materially reduce the limit
of local taxes, one relating to counties,
one to cities. one to school districts,
and two to highway districts. | ur-
gently request that these five bills re-
ceive careful consideration and be
oasse, and further, again earnestly
recommend that educational institu-
tons be not crippled either in mainte-
nance or housing, and that the various
departments of state be permitted to
function properly. though economi-
cally.
Respectfully yours.
c. c. Moore, Governor.

Wallace Wades Into
Congressional Method

Washington. - Secretary of
Agriculture Wallace in a lester to
Congressman Sydney Anderson,
regarding the proposal to strangle
farm credit legislation. said: Il
can see no strong objection to the
enactment OF the Capper bill also,
but to offer the latter as a rural
credits bill or a substitute for the
Lenroot-Anderson bill would give
the farmers OF the nation the best
of reasons for feeling that in re-
ply to their request for bread they
have been offered a stone" Ii
was Secretary Mellon. another
member OF the cabinet. who made
the suggestion that produced Wal
lace's "Wallop."

CITY ELECTION
ISSUES BEGIN
To TAKE FIELD
Sunday Movie Fight Is
Only Waiting Cam
paign Time; Hats Are
SHED Into Ring.

With the city election still more than
two months away. interest in the BIZ
ennial municipal play day is rapidly
coming 10 a head. Moving pictures
will be introduced in the election, ell
thcr by a clear cut campaign on this
issue or by giving the voters another
opportunity TO register a wish on
whether or not they want Sunday
shows. The city council Monday ev-
cning approved a resolution favoring
the latter plan But, it is pointed out,
final adoption by the city dads OF this
plan does not preclude the possibility
of introducing the issue as a factor in
the city campaign. Giving voters an
opportunity 10 vote on the Sunday
show issue will not preclude city Office
aspirants to run on an anti or a pro-
Sunday show platform.
Candidates for mayor are not overly
numerous. Mayor Amos Miller an
nounced some time ago that he would
not be a candidate to succeed himself
and so far as is known, he has not
changed his mind. Ed Perry. who op-
posed Mayor Miller at the last cleo
ton and ran him surprisingly close
race. is understood to retain his aspir-
ations He was slated at recent in
formal meeting OF Perry adherents to
make the race again this year, il cur
rent rumor is correct. VIII Monk.
who ran for city clerk with Mr.. Perry,
was also discussed as a possible can
lidaie for the clerks job again this
year.
Quite a boom for John Smced has
crystalizcd in the past week Friends
# Mr. Smecd have brought consider
able pressure to bear upon him and
report has it that he will probably be
among those listed at the top OF the
municipal ticket Mr.. Smeed has had
considerable experience in civic affairs
having been for two years president
OF the Commercial Club.
Another possibility who has been
strongly urged in recent weeks is w
T. Kimbrough, member of the pres
ent council With a good record for
economy and administration OF civic
affairs during the past two years, Mr..
Kimbrough is being urged because OF
his familiarity with present city prob
lens and the record that the admin
istration has established.
Earle BoyeS.and w. c. Dyer, clerk
and treasurer. respectively, are deiin-
itely in the race to succeed themselves.
Both have taken a prominent part in
the success OF the present administra-
ton and are expected to walk away
with the positions they now occupy in
the coming election. With the pos
sible exception Of Will Monk for clerk,
no whisper Of possible opposition has
been raised to either OF these two Off
cias
Councilmen, as usual. are expected
to be hard to find. Whether or not
any members Of the present group
hope to succeed themselves has not
been made public. No other candi-
dates have thrown their hats into the
council ring.
