LIBRARY NOTES

Cooperation OF the schools and the
public library is proving more and
more a success SO far as patronage
of the school children is concerned.
The increase in the number OF visit
ors, especially the evening crowd. has.
since the opening OF school, been en-
'irely out Of proportion to the avail
able working staff. To meet this in
equality, the Library board. a, its last
meeting, ruled that children under
twelve years OF age must do their
work in the library and select their
books for home reading before six

O'Clock p. m. This provision will
relieve the confusion of an over
crowded room-the shuffiing OF busy
feet on bare floors. the eager ques-
tionings of small interrogators-and
other irregularities that can better be
attended TO in the daytime, leaving
the evening hours from seven to nine
o'clock for older students and other
citizens who want a quiet place for
reading or reference work.
New Children's Books
The city schools have authorized
the selection OF large number of
new books for children OF the grades.
This list is being prepared. and it
is the plan to loan the books through
the library TO the teachers who will
in turn loan them to the children in
their charge This IS but another
makeshift looking 10 the segregation
of the children's department to the
rooms in the basement planned for
that purpose. All that is lacking to
make this move possible is funds for
its equipment and librarian to take
more adequate provision for their
library needs is a problem which clam
ors for solution in the immediate flu

There is only one body that
change OF modify the laws. and that
is the legislature. is the point which
I. A. Jctcr. secretary OF state, makes
in statement to clarity certain mot
or license law criticisms.
Il have seen much injustice because
of certain provisions Of the law and
am particularly anxious to bring
those matters to the attention of the
people so that remedies may be effect
ed at the coming session OF the leg
islature" Mr. Jester says. Three
points in the present law have caused
a great deal OF criticism. he points
out. and continues:
These are the definition OF motor
truck. the weight of motor vehicle
and the time for renewing licenses
The law covering the definition of a
motor truck and the weight of a mot
or vehicle was passed by the last ses
sion OF the Legislature: that requiring
registration in the first day of Jan

years, but never enforced until this

motor truck and the weight of a mot
or vehicle was passed by the last ses-
sion Of the legislature: that requiring
registration in the first day of jan
uary has been in effect for several
years. but never enforced until this
year.
OR is WRONG WORD
THE definition OF a motor truck as
it appears in the law was added by
the legislature of 1923. A motor
truck is defined as any motor vehicle
designed or used for the transpor-
taiion of commodities. merchandise,
produce. freight. or animals. The
policy OF the department OF law en-
forccment throughout the year on
this section has been only to en-
force the laws on the statute book
The word "or" is the cause OF most
OF the trouble 1t requires that any
motor vehicle either designed or used
for the transportation OF commo-
dities. merchandise. produce. freight,
OF animals shall be c,assed as a
truck This definition OF a truck
takes in the Ford runabout with
the small box placed on the rear.
no matter how small the box is. II
il is designed to carry commodities
This has resulted in very decided
injustice to at least thee thousand
owners of Ford runabouts. irtend
TO ask that the governor recon-
mend TO the legislature that this
section be changed TO clarity the de-
hnition of truck. and further recon-
mend the refund OF $3.50 to each
owner of Ford runabout which has
been licensed at the truck rate.
WEIGHTS AT ISSUE
THE second question which has
caused dissatisfaction concerns the /
weight of cars. Section 1892. Idaho I
compiled statutes, as amended in 1928
state that for the purpose of this
chapter the weight OF any motor We
hicle is hereby defined to be the I
weight OF such vehicle with all equip
ment furnished by the manufacturer
thereof, but in no event shall the
weight used for determining the lie /
cnse fee be less than the scale weight
OF the vehicle as operated on the .
roads or highways This section
can be clarified very easily and its
made very plain il the
legislature may see fit to adopt the .
weight in each in
stance as the basis upon which to f.
CURE the license fee. The second /
clause OF the law is contradictory
10 the first and IT should be made ]
plain as to what the intention of the
legislature was. The legislature add
ID the last clause for a definite pur-
bose and we felt it was our duty to
AIRY out that purpose to the best OF
'ur ability.
Section l60l provides for the re-
Iewal OF licenses annually, such re-
ewal 10 take effect on the FIRST day
# January OF each year" With eli
natic conditions as they are in Ida
70, it is apparent that this section /
not in line with the wishes of the 1
eople. Therefore intend to ask the
GOVERNOR to recommend to the legis-
Iture that a date for renewing lie I
nses be established later than the i
rst of January.

PORTLAND PORT
DIRECTORS SHOULD
BE PAID FROM. THE
INCOME OF PIER

The salaries of the directors or the
Port OF Portland are not now payable
from the State treasury In the
opinion OF the office Of the attorney
general, according to an opinion just
handed down by Deputy Attorney
General William II. Fisher In reply
to an inquiry by state Auditor A. ~
Hayford.
"Section ] OF Chapter 81. Private
and Special Laws OF 1919, as amend
ed by Chapter 123. Private and Spec
ial Laws of 1919. Special Session,
provided" states Mr.. Fisher in the
opinion, that the directors should
each receive an annual salary of
$500. payable from the state treasury,
and by Section OF the same act,
all income from wharfage. ETC., was
to be paid into the State treasury.
THUS the law stood until 1923
when by Chapter 118. Private and
Special laws, 1t was amended ana
modified. BY section 8 of that act,
the income Of the pier instead OF be-
ing turned into the State treasury
as formerly Is now handled by a
treasurer appointed by the directors
and it is provided that he shall
mako disbursement therefrom for
carrying out the purposes of this act
and amendments thereof. This 1t
seems to me operates as an amend
ment to the former provision for the
payment of salaries from the State
treasury for it seems clear that much
payments are part of the purposes Of
the act.
This conclusion Is supported by
the fact that the legislature of 1928
made no appropriation for salaries,
evidently understanding and expect
ing that they would be paid from
the income of the pier. 1t is our opin-
ion that they should be SO paid and
in the absence of an appropriation
by the Legislature or council order
authorizing their payment from the
Contingent Fund, the State treasurer
Is not authorized to pay them from
the State treasury.
For the reasons already given
there would be in our opinion no
Just basis for claiming that the
salaries should be paid from the Con-
tingent Fund unless possibly in the
case the income from the pier should
not be sufficient for the purpose"
