THE SUNDAY OREGOyiAJf. FORTLAyP. MARCH 21 . 8 MILLION SAVED 10 IDAHO BY GOVERNOR Vetoes and Removal of Danger of Special Session Aid . State Treasury. SPORTSMEN ARE AROUSED Jtejeelion of Measure Proposing to Create Commission Disliked, but Labor Approves Stand on , Compensation Act. BOISE, Idaho, .March So. (Special.) When Moses Alexander signed the several appropriation bills and budgets paesed by the last Legislature, the prospects of a special session of that body in the immediate future vanished. 3Jis cutting from these measures of S2W,!t31.7D. makes it possible for him to take credit for a savins of $1,000,- 000 to the state during the first three months of his administration, a cam paign promise known as the "million lollar" plank, and it is said to be the reason there are now no immedi ate prospects of an extra session. Many of the numerous bills that met with executive disapproval were found to contain cleverly covered jokers: others were found to amend sections of the codes or session laws when they intended to amend entirely different sections. Sportsmen Aroused by Veto. It was the veto of the fish and game bill, however, that seems to have urouscd more resentment than any thing else. Sportsmen over the state believe they are responsible for the fish and game department, which is sell'-supportins.' on license fees they put into it. They wanted the depart ment, which has always been in poli tics, removed from that influence and Placed in charge of a commission. The Governor made a campaign against the reation of additional commissions and Kave this as his main reason for dis approving the act. Ordinarly veto of a workmen's com pensation commission would have urouscd a storm of protest over the state. The bill the Governor disap proved, while drafted by a Commission appointed two years S. carried an xcetpional low benefit scale for la borers injured and met with their dis approval and opposition. Money Items Drairs Ax. They tried to amend the bill in the Legislature but met with defeat both in the House and Senate. Then thev carried their fight on it to the Governor. In addition, the bill carried a $50,000 appropriation, when $15,000 would have been sufficient for the first two years, it Is said. This the Gov ernor accepted as a bid to veto it and he forthwith proceeded to do so. Behind exercise of the veto power on the appropriations carried for the Slate Board of Health is a talc that did not show on the surface a bitter conflict between the secretary of the Board, Dr. Ralph Falk. and the Gov ernor. Dr. Falk is a young physician. His father was one or the pioneer clothing and general merchants of Boise, a close friend of the Governor. Governor Alexander is one of the lead ing clothing merchants of. the Inter montatn country. Letter Thougbt Insult. Duriu? the last campaign Dr. Falk wrote letters addrebsed to Idaho phy sicians In which he referred to the present Governor, then a candidate, as an -ignorant clothing merchant. This was taken by Governor Alexan der as a direct personal insult which he resented. He declared he would iispose of Dr. Kalk'a service to the Uie when ho becamo Governor. The opportunity came on the appropriation bill He vetoed the salary and office llowance for tho next two years, of the secretary of the Board of Health, a total of $7500.
