VOLUME 29. NO. 11 SOLONS QUIT AF- TERLONG SESSION STATE DIVISION IS AGREED | !! TO—PASS NEW CIGAR- ETTE LAW. Boise, Idaho, March 5.—Run-| ning at high speed to bring about final adjournment the legislature today voted to per- mit the northern part of the state to secede if it can get the consent of the Washington legis- lature and congress; moved all educational and general appro- priation measures out of the way ; paved the way for the state highway program to be financed during the next two years; or- dered the Albion normal school removed from Albion to Burley; saved the state farm market bu- reau to the farmers; so amended the anti-cigarette bill as to per- mit the sale of cigarettes to adults, and passed and killed a multitude of measures. The direct primary fell by the wayside, due to the inability of the house and senate to get to- gether, but a state-wide primary organization wos perfected by the members of the two houses favoring the issue, to carry the issue directly to the voters dur- ing the next campaign. Agree to State Division - The house, joined the senate in consenting to state division if it can be ob- tained and in bidding the north- ern counties godspeed. Nota word of opposition in the usual sense was uttered. Those who spoke on the resolution spoke in careful tones. Members seem- ed to feel that the occasion was one of parting and farewell. Those of the northern counties expressed regret at the probable ending of their association with the south; the latter reciprocat- ed after the fashion of the fath- er who sends his son away with “Goodby, Bill, take care of your- self.” The resolution authorizes the president of the senate to ap- point two senators from this section, and the speaker of the house to appoint three represen- tatives from the north to form a commission to further the state- hood plan and report to the next legislature. Bond Sale Authorized Provision for the sale of the $2,000,000 state highway bonds at a cost to the state of $98,000 was made by the senate in the passing, of bil] 319 after a heat- ed argument. The senate voted a strong ap- proval of the bill empowering county commissioners to make a special levy not to exceed 2 mills for a period not exceeding five vears to raise funds for building court houses. by vote of 39 to 12. | | take the place of the anti-cigar- {ette measure which was signed | | by the governor but to which he | suggested an amendment. The | bill will allow sales of cigarettes to aduits. Dealers are to be put |under a $500 bond and pay a cense fee of $50 a year. } Speaker Johnston, relinquish- ing the gavel, told the house | that the bill was a compromise */measure agreed upon by the | governor with senate and house | leaders. Among 13 senate bills to which the house gave approval was senate bill 298, by which the} Albion normal school will be moved to Burley. Speaker Johnston, in closing discussion on the bill, said: “You have the opportunity to| settle this matter for all time) and if you accept it your succes- sors will always thank you. By} voting now for this bill you will remove this temptation from {every legislature that follows.” House bill 247, providing for | raising the salaries of the sec-| retary of state ard state auditor to $4000, was killed in the house, 17 to 26. The house had amend- | ed the bill to include raises to) $3600 for the state superinten- dent of public instruction and the state inspector of mines. The senate eliminated the amend ;ment, but authorized raises for the secretary of state and audit- or. The house would not agree to the bill without the amend- ment, so killed it Contest on Primary. The deadlock came up during | the closing hours on the direct | primary referendum after the committees in the two houses appointed to confer on the prim- ary failed to agree and so re- ported. The house passed a joint resolution, referring the question to the voters at the next general election, as to} whether or not they desired the} next legislature to pass a diréct primary law. At the same time the senate passed a bill provid- ing that the question should be submitted at the primary elec- tion.. The house amended this | bill providing the referendum should be had at the general in- stead of primary election. Th STAT An appropriation bill of $25,- 000, for the Grave Creek road between Cottonwood and Grave Creek which was killed in the senate last week was revived by Senator Jones and Representa- | tive Fenn in the closing hours of the state legislature and an appropriation for the same pro- ject in the sum of $20,000 was attached to the general budget bill and passed by both branches | of the state legislature. The first news of the passing of the bill was received by M. M. Bel- knap, Saturday morning, in a telegram from Senator Jones announcing that an appropria- tion for $50,000 had passed for the Grave Creek - Cottonwood road. It is understood here, that the Governor was also one of the instigators in having the E LEGISLATURE APPROPRIATES $20,000 FOR GRAVE CREEK ROA Grave Creek Appropriation Passed Only After Being Defeated in | feet frozen and the flesh had be-| last December, will be formally the Senate by the Splendid Work of Senator Jones and Representative Fenn—Governor Will Sign Bill senate refused to concur in the | hil] passed and that he will sign house amendment by a vote of | the document goes without say- 25 to 18. | The senate failed to) ing.
