THE ONTARIO ARGUS THURSDAY, JANUARY 21 1915 c I p IDAHO LEGISLATURE GRINDS OUT BILLS (Special to The Argus.) Boise. A radical change in the leg islative branch of the state govern ment ia proponed in a reaolution intro duced into the house by floor leadera of the republican majority, Represen tatives Johnston and Koelsch. The resolution provides for the sub mission of an amendment to the con- j tltutlon giving the state practically a commission form of government. It provides to do away with the sen ate altogether and to reduce the mem- i bership of the house to 24, the mem- bom to be elected From 1Z districts, I and so devote their entire time to the 1 legislative work of the state. It Is provided that the members of the new legislative body shall receive stipu lated salaries from the state. Asks Constitutional Convention. The necessity for calling a consti tutional conveatlon, the first In 26 years or since the constitution was drafted, was presented to the legisla ture by Senator Klili.it of Bonner county. He Introduced two compan ion resolutions, the first limiting the number of delegates to attend the con vention to SO and not less than 20, and the second setting forth the ne cessity of the convention. The latter Includes the fact that 22 amendments have been added to the constitution and that there Is a constantly Increas ing domand for many new amend ments; that there are conflict lug pro visions and uncertainty In the fundi mental law. The reaolution calls for ratification for tho convention at the general election In 1910 by the people. m mx- - . - ..

The first report of Expert Oleason probing Into the affairs of state ac counts and funds was filed with Oov ernor Alexander. It deals exclusively with the public building endowment fund, alleging a total of $83,509.61 baa been lost from this fund itemlied as follows: Seventy-five thousand dol lars lost by disposing of $750,000 worth of capitol bonds sold at 4 and 2 per cent when they ahould have been sold at 4 per cent; $2982.87 in overpayments to contractors and sup ply companies, and $5526.86 expended from the truat fund for capitol main tenance. Two Now Counties Added. The senate passed two county di visions which had already paaaed the house. These bills create Boundary county out of the northern part of Bonner and Benewah county out of the southern half of Kootenai county. In the state senate a bill was Intro duced to repeal the section of the public utilities commission act passed by the last legislature, which requires public utility corporations to secure from the commission certificates of public convenience and necessity be fore entering any field in the stata. With a view of giving state assist ance to the railroad connecting north and south Idaho, a resolution was In troduced authorizing the governor to appoint a commission to make an In vestigation of routes and other mat tore In connection with the proposes road and report to the next legislature. The leglalature turned a deaf ear to the governor's plea for economy In the flrat action It took. Oovernor Alex ander suggested In his message that $50,000 was sufficient for the legis lative appropriation, but the uaual $65,000 was appropriated. HTIHistt MsaVsMM m Ljst.
