Charley Kingman to Sadie A. Burns, REPUBLICAN LEADERS CHANGE TACTICS Courtesy to Minority Members Noticeable and Steam Roller Slows Down. Boise. Democrats in the Idaho leg islature are at a loss to understand the very decided change of tactics which has developed during the past week on the part of the republican leaders, es pecially Speaker Conner and Lieuten ant (lovernor Taylor, the presiding of ficers of the house and senate respec tlvely. The steam roller has percep tibly slackened Its pace aud In some Instances real courtesy bns been shown by the republicans to the ml norlty members. Whatever the cause the change Is very apparent. It has been manifest on several occasions during the past week ami culminated In the action of the senate when the upper house vir tnall apolonlzed for its apparent dls respect to the governor. The message or the governor on state Institutions at! iiiissinc In the senate Journal nnd aa explanation was ininieiliately asked by the ii moerntlc senators. The re publicans were quick to state that BO disrespect was Intended, but that It 1. in I been found more satlsfnrtorj to have the message printed In pamphlet form. Tx Interest Bill Piss-d.

MUrrylaf mil to the let ter one of the n i MBBM nd.itloiis made by the governor in his message to the legislature. During the week a number of bills wet. ii. t rod H I I itb a view of carr Ing out the democratic plan for 0000 omy In the administration of stute at fairs. Included in the list are Mill reducing the salaries of slate officials. Tin M bills will take their regular course and will probubU I naeted In some form or other, although It Is known that strong pressure Is total brought to bear to prevent any muter liii i lianges In the salaries of the offi cials. Committee Changes Plans. The special ln estimating committee of the home has changed Its plans en tlrch Realizing the hopelessness of the task of attempting to make any thorough examination of the condition of the various departments of state during the period of the legislative session, the committee has underta ken to go Into those matters merely which are to be the subject of pro posed legislation. With this end In view the past week has been given over to an Investlgu Hon of the Carey act projects. Tb . In Itself Is enough to keep the comm tee lu continuous session for a mouth or more, aud so far the luvestlgators havo been content to look only Into the causes of failures which have worked such hardships to settlers ou the Irrigation projects. Asks Censure of Officiate. Found careless and la in methods because of their failure to take proper action to protect the state's deposit uf $14,000 in the Hank of N'aiupa. at Nam pa, which failed, the legislative lines tlgatlng committee probing Into the statehouse scaudal recommended that former Governor John M Haines, for mer Secretary of State W.
