Governors Message.
To J. H. Gipson fell the lot of ad-
dressing the legislators from his mo-
mentary position as acting governor
OF Idaho. Economy was the key note
OF his address. He said among other
things:
Senators are requested to don car
pet slippers upon entering the legisla-
tive halls so that the excessive wear
and tear upon the floors will be elm
mated. The taxpayers are groaning
under the excessive burdens of gov
ernment and we must put into effect

earn that sum but we want to be fair
and reasonable in all these matters.

Ross Madden brought the house
down with his direct primary bill,
a take off on Senator c. J. Wurtz's
measure now pending in the legisla-
ture. Mr.. Madden's measure was in

cation OF the official ballots, would
estop the highway department from
spreading sand or gravel on the roads
