ABOLISH INSTITUTES
Bill Would Also Stop School
Book Craft.

Twin Falls-Jess Nielsen sup.
erintendent of Twin Falls county
schools, is preparing a bill to be
introduced into the coming ses.
sion of the legislature asking the
adjustment of state teachers
institutes and one to set a text
book standard throughout the
state.
AT a recent meeting of county
officers and the Republican
county central committee, Mr..
Nielsen explained that the teach
ers' institute is a useless ex-
pense of both time and money
does no one any good and is a re-
lie of the clark ages of school
administration. The standard
text book law, he said, will save
TO the parents of Idaho thousands
of dollars each year and do
away with the present graft of
the school book publishers.
Those present at the meeting
indorsed Mr.. Nielsen's ideas.

To Draw Farm Bills.

Boise Idaho.-Co-o ordination O
all proposed farm legislation to
be presented to the legislature
which convened Monday, is the
purpose. of the joint legislative
committee of forestry and agri-
culture which met in Boise Sat
urday.
The joint committee consists of
43 members, representing the in
dustries of lumber and agricul-
ture in all parts of the state. Rep
reSentatives on the committee
were appointed at the general
agricultural conference held i'll
Boise December 5, under the au-
spices of the state department of
agriculture.
All branches of agriculture, in
cluding irrigation, are repre-
sented on the joint committee,
and the members were elected by
the various divisions of the agri-
cultural conference held in De
cember.
The main purpose of the conf
mittee meeting was to get the
views of all branches of agri-
culture on proposed legislation,
so that a bill can be drafted
without conflicting with the ideas
of some particular agricultural
faction or section Of the state.
The state is represented on the
committee because of its timber
holdings, which may or may not
be affected by laws proposed to
protect standing timber or sta
bilize the industry.

VETOSAVES BILLIONS
Huding Points Out Waste In
Pension Bill.


even though a woman had mar
ried the veteran only two years
before his death, was vetoed by
President Harding January 3,
and all efforts to pass the bill
over his veto were abandoned last
Friday, according to the dis
patches. The bill has been de-
scribed as a most extravagant
measure and a waste of money
that is needed for rehabilitation
of sick and wounded veterans of
the world war.
The president returned the bill
to the senate, where it originated
with message attacking it. He
declared it would cost the gov
ernment $1OS,OOO,OOO annually
and set precedent entailing pen
sion obligations of $50,O00,000,-
600 within the next so years. He
also disapproved specifically
provisions giving pension rights
to widows of veterans who had
been married only two years.
In a brief message returned to
the senate where the bill origj>
mated, the president said:
II am returning herewith SEN
ate bill No. 1915, -'An act grant
ing pensions to certain soldiers
sailors and marines of the Civil
war, ETC., without my approval.
'If the act were limited to it's
provisions in behalf of the sur
viving participants in the Mexi-
can and Civil wars and widows
of the war of 1912, it would still
be without ample justification.
The commissioner of pensions es-
Inmates it's additional cost to the
treasury to about $10S,000,000
annually, and venture the pre-
diction that with such a prece-
dent established, the ultimate
pension outlay in the half CEN
tury before us will exceed fifty
billions of dollars. The act
makes no pretense of new cOnsi-
derations for the needy or depen-
dent, no new generosity for the
veteran wards of the nation; it is
an outright bestowal upon the
governments pension rolls, with
a heedlessness for the govern
ment's financial problems, which
is a encouragement to every eff
fort to reduce expenditures and
thereby relieve the federal bur
dens of taxations.
"The more particular objection
to this act, however, lies in it's
loose provisions for pensioning |
widows. The existing law makes
the widow of Civil war vet |
eran eligible to pension if she
married him prior to June 81, |
1905. In other words, marriage |
within 40 years of the end of the
Civil war gives a veterans wi |
dow a good title to pension The
act returned herewith extends
the marriage period specifically
to June 27, 1915, and provides
that after that date any marriage
or cohabitation for two years
prior to a veterans death shall
make the widow the beneficiary
of pension at $50 per month for
the remainder of her life.
"In view of the fact that this
same bill makes provision for
pensions for widows of the vet
Grams of the war of 1912, the pos
sible burden of this sweeping
provision seems worthy of SER
i0us consideration. Frankly, /
do not recognize any public obli-
cation to pension women who
now, nearly 60 years after the
Civil war, become the wives of
veterans of that war.
s"The government has so many
defenders to whom generous
treatment is due that congress
will find it necessary to consi-
der all phases of orr obligations

ECONOMY ISKEYNOTE
MOore's Recommendations to
Legislature.

Boise, ldaho.-The 18th Idaho
legislature convened Monday and
both houses organized. M. A.
Kiger of Kootenai county was
elected speaker OF the house, and
L. r. Thomas Of Bingham county
was chosen president pro tenn of
senate. Both are republicans.
Three men were in the contest
for speaker. Kiger received 81
votes, E. L. Parker OF Nez Pcrce
~. and Luke Williams of Mimi
doka S.
The speaker appointed Z. T.
Taylor, his colleague from Koote-
mai, on the house printing commit
tee, the members of which were
announced on the first day Of the
session.
The primary advocates among
the republicans in the house say
that they are not raising. the
primary issue in the organization,
as they believe it has no place
there. The primary advocates are
taking the same attitude in the
senate. They insist that those
members of the Legislature who
were elected pledged to the enact
ment of primary law shonld not
be embarrassed within the organ
ization in an effort to bind them to
the wish of a party caucus, but
should be allowed to vote their
convictions on the primary
measure when it comes before the
house and the senate.
In the early stages of the iegis-
lature primary bill will be intro
duced. Many members want il
passed Immediately ..and sent -to
the governor before any. other
legislation is taken up, so that the
legislature may be able to devote
attention to the economic program.
Governor Moore read his
message to the legislature in joint
session Tuesday.
High spots as shown in the message
follow:
while our railroads are paying
good dividends and making extensive
improvements, Including double
tracking, freight rates are stlll.1uin-
uusly high.
Excessive freight rates must be
reduced.
"a reciprocal demurrage law should
give relief from car shortage.
"The financing Of dairy herds
should be promoted.
.'Our highways must be properly
maintained, but there should be 90
uew construction except where tho
n .ed is imperative.
s.There should be no new Issues OF
state bonds, no new bridges, 90 new
counties, no new judicial districts. 90
new bureaus or commissions, 90 pew
institutions aud no new buildings for
any institution. except where to deny
would result 10 retrogrcssioD.
.While it NAV be impossible at
this time to reduce appropriationsi 10
proportion TO the losses sustained,
cuts should be made for the coming
bIannium so az TO reduce the sum
total of appropriations and leyles at
least 25 per cent.
II recommend that the maximum
leyies and bonding limits liked lor
local taxing bodies be matenaiiy
reduced.
Highways have heretofore been
\ huilt by all the taxpayers. but our
\ roads should be maintained by all
/ who use them, including tourists, ana
rhls can be accomplished by gaso-
I Asne tax.
I a.The state constabulary Law should
4 be repealed.
/ "The present plan OF nominating
| state and congressional Officers should
J ne continued.
ut is recommended you make no
appropriation simply because ny 90

Serious Problem
In closing, we realize our inabil-
ity to put in q report such as this,
everything that pertains to the sub
ject. We learn of new obstacles at
every meeting. The subject is so full
of problems that as you proceed, you
will become, as we have, somewhat
dazed at it's magnitude and serious
ness. However, we have some very
strong convictions as to what should
be done, generally, and, if invited,
will be glad to present our ideas in
the shape of concrete laws for your
consideration.
