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.

Report Made Upon Tr.s.irer.
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.
