The Challis messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1912-current, 1923-02-14

Of bank for failure to remove either
officers or directors for lax business
methods when ordered to do so by the
bank commissioner.
With federal, state and private tim
Der holders cooperating in a forestry
bill of far-reaching Importance, SEN
ator NJ. E. Lewis, Republican of Latah
county, introduced forestry measure
into the senate.
By far the most voluminous meas
ure of the session and covering every
phase of fire protection, administra-
ton and demonstration, the bill is
said to be the work of conferences COW
ering period Of several years.
1t provides for a state board for
estry, and for a fire warden, the for
mer to be composed of the state land
board, the land commissioner, and the
dean of the school of forestry of the
University of Idaho, while the new
state forester created by the bill would
assume the duties of the state ap-
praiser now employed but with addi-
tional duties for which he would draw
salary of $4,000 a year.
The measure is said by it's authors
to contain much concession on the part
of the timber companies, from the
stand they took in suggested legisla-
ticn which was defeated during the
last session of the legislature.
Particular purposes of the new for
estry control suggestions can be sum-
med up as follows: Complete control
by the state of fire wards, and police
powers; the stopping of fires by or
gained patrol in districts and by dis
posal of piled slash instead of broad
cast burning; the preservation Of wa
ter sheds through re-forestration.
BY vote of 48 to 16 the house of
representatives passed the bill repeal
ing the license and bond features of
the tobacco law enacted at the 1921
session of the legislature. It was in
troduced as house bill No. IL by Kee-
ton.
The measure was passed only after
about Is members of the house had
spoken variously for and against its
provisions. 1t repeats the $50 license
fee and the $500 bond provision of the
act of the 1921 session of the legis-
lature.
