BOISE. Idaho. Jan. 8. (Special.)
The 14th Idaho Legislature danced at
Its own inauguration here tonight
around the marble columns of the new
State Capitol to the music of the Sec
ond Idaho Regiment and the Boise Mu
nicipal band.
Following: preliminary organization
of both houses the assembly recessed
to tomorrow at 2 o'clock, when it will
reconvene in Joint session to hear the
message of Governor Alexander. The
informal reception and dance tonight
ii the only social event planned in the
inaugural.
The Democratic majority in both
houses carried its caucus agreements
out to the letter, through the election
of Representative B. Harvey Allred, f
Elackfoot. Speaker of the House, and
Senator Perry wrf Mitchell president
pro tern, of the Senate.
Mr. Moody la Floor Leader.
Representative C. S. Moody was mads
floor leader of the majority, with Rep
resentative Ernest Anderson, of Can
yon, his assistant. Representative D.
R. Hubbard was the Republican minor
ity nominee for Speaker. Representa
tive McGowan is minority floor leader
in the House and Senator F. S. Ran
dall, of Lewiston, floor leader in the
Senate. Chief Justice Budge swore in
both houses.
The first official act of the House
of Representatives was to pass House
bill No. 1 appropriating $733X50 from
the general fund to be used to pay the
officers and enlisted men of the Sec
ond Idaho Regiment the money the
state owes them. Timothy Regan, of
Boise, advanced 15000 for this purpose
and to it the Governor added $1500
more, but owing to legal difficulties,
it was decided not to use this money
but to wait until the Legislature con
vened and appropriated state money.
Senate to Pans Bill Tomorrow.
The Senate will pass the same bill
tomorrow and it will immediately re
ceive the Governor's approval. The
troops will then be paid. There was
not enough money in the Treasury to
pay them before.
The second official act of the two
houses was to notify the Governor both
were organized. The Governor replied
that he would read his message at 2
o'clock tomorrow, and a concurrent
resolution was adopted convening the
houses in Joint session at that hour.
The preliminaries were without seri
ous conflict. The Democratic majority
asserted its power from the start, and
after the first test votes found them
with 36 votes to 29 in the House and
21 to 16 in the Senate, a margin of con
trol that was amply safe.
Some Committee IVamed.
The gavel was dropped in the Sen
ate by Herman H. Taylor, former
Lieutenant-Governor, promptly at 12
o'clock. Senators Mitchell and Randall
were instructed to notify the Chief
Justice the senate was ready to take
the oath of office. At 12:18 the oath
was administered.
Senator George E. Hill, Democrat,
thtn placed Senator Mitchell in nom
ination for President pro tern. The
Republicans, through Senator Whit
comb, nominated Senator Randall. Sen
ator Mitchell was elected on a straight
party vote. The Democrats then elected
their attaches. ,
Committees were appointed as fol
lows: Senators Thomas and Hill to
notify the House the Senate was or
ganized; Senators Hill, Whitcomb and
Curtis to serve the same notice on the
Governor; Senators Mitchell, Randall
and Stevenson, committee on rules
Senators Wedgewood, Drlggs and Rock,
well. Joint committee on rules.
David Burrell. ex-chief clerk of the
House, rapped the House to order at
noon and the oath of office was admin
lstered shortly afterwards. The elec
tion of Speaker followed, together with
the naming of Democratic attaches.
aner wnicn tne regimental bill was
passed.
Two Beautiful Girls Disappear.
LEWISTON, Idaho, Jan. 8. (Spe

Isabel Harris, 17 years old, have disap
peared from their homes in Lewiston
and detectives and the police have
been unable to trace the girls. The
girls were companions and were last
seen January 3. The mothers of both
girls are widows, and are distracted
over the disappearance of their daugh

is feared that some harm has befallen
them.

GUY E,
LIMIT TO BE OBEYED
Ways and Means Chairman
Announces Purpose.
PRUNE OF $700,000 DUE
Estimate Made That $200,000 May
Be Left From Last Bienninm So
That Much Could Be Deduct
ed From Excess Budgets.
SALEM, Or.. Jan. 8. (Special.) The
present Legislature will feel itself bound
by the terms of the S per cent limita
tion amendment passed at the last gen
eral election and will regulate its ap
propriations accordingly. At least that
is the statement of Senator V. D.
Wood, of "Washington County, chair
man of the Senate ways and means
committee, and probably chairman of
the joint ways -and means committee.
"There is no question in my mind
that it was the intent of the people
in passing the amendment to limit the
expenditures of the Legislature, as well
as to limit the powers of the tax
levying bodies," declared Senator Wood
today. "If I have anything to do with
it. the. ways and means committee will
operate along that line.
"I am satisfied that the great ma
jority of the members of this session,
if not all of them, understand that the
amendment was intended to apply to
the Legislature In spending money, as
well as to the levying powers in rais
ing money, and that it will be the whole
aim and object of the legislative session
to keep appropriations within the limit
required by the law."
The question has been one much
under discussion during the past few
weeks as to whether the Legislature
could go ahead and make such appro
priations as it saw fit, whether they
exceeded the limit set by the amend
ment or not, and leave the question up
to the succeeding Legislature as to
how the excess money should be raised.
It has been said on good authority that
the Legislature was not bound by the
amendment, and at the offices of the
State Tax Commission the same atti
tude was taken.
The amendment reads. In part:
Neither the state ... or body to
which power to levy a tax shall have
been delegated shall in any year so
exercise that power so as to raise a
greater amount for revenue purposes,
other than the payment of bonded in
debtedness or interest thereon, than the
total amount levied by it in the year
immediately preceding for purposes
other than the payment of bonded in
debtedness or interest thereon, plus S
per centum thereof. . ."
No mention whatsoever is made of
limiting the power to expend money.
and consequently all who have con
tended that the Legislature is bound
by the amendment have based their
contention upon the theory that it is
the intent of the law to limit expen
ditures as well as money raising.
The attitude of the Legislature, as
explained by Senator Wood, seems to
clear up. at the very outset of the ses
sion, a question which has been both
ering many legislators and others since
the amendment was first declared In
effect-
The declaration of the Senate chair
man of the ways and means committee
means that committee will have to
prune the budget estimates as presented
by the institutiona-by S715.382.09 and
will have to meet and overcome num
erous contingencies in addition, such
as the question of fluctuation in mill
age taxes, the question of how much
money will revert to the general fund
after all bills are paid for the last
biennium and numerous other problems
in mathematics which will keep the
committee working nights for a greater
share of the session.
Senator Wood said today that he
estimated approximately 1200,000 would
be turned back into the general fund
after expenditures from the appropria
tions of the past biennium have all
been paid and this will give the Legis
lature some leeway in staying within
the amendment. If that much money
is turned back into the general fund it
will be necessary for the Legislature to
cut down the budget estimates only
about $o00.000.

(Special.) Mrs. Frances H. White

Christmas Lake Valley, 115 miles from

HOUSE RULES EXPANDED
Speaker Chosen' XTnanimously Is Guy
E. Kelly, of Fierce County, and
President Pro Tern of Senate
Is Ralph D. Nichols.
OLYMPIA, Wash, Jan. 8. (Special.)
On assembling today for its fifteenth
session, the Washington Legislature
passed a Joint memorial to Congress in
support of a National prohibition
amendment to the Federal Constitution.
The Senate gave the movement unan
imous support and only two votes
were recorded against it in the House.
No other legislation marked the
opening day except passage of the ses
sion expense appropriation amounting
to 115.000. Committee chairmanships
will not be announced until Wednes
day. E. E. Boner, of Grays Harbor
County, is conceded to be successful
in his fight to head the Senate Judiciary
committee.
Rules Made More Liberal.
Liberalizing of House rules began
promptly after the nomination and
unanimous election of Guy E. Kelly, of
Pierce County, as Speaker. Mark E.
Reed, Republican floor leader this ses
sion, nominated Mr. Kelly. E. E.
HaUey, of Asotin, the only other as
pirant for Speaker, promptly seconded,
and seconds were also forthcoming
from King County and the 14 Democrats
of the House. With the new Speaker's
Indorsement the House rules were
changed to permit a bare, majority to
advance or bring1 up any bill desired, re
gardless of the action of the rules com
mittee. A three-fifths majority of the
House has been necessary to direct the
rules committee programme heretofore.
As a preliminary movement toward
simplifying the higher education com
plications growing out of the educa
tional survey commission's report and
the resulting rivalry between the State
University and Washington State Col
lege, a committee on higher educa
tional institutions was created. The
House also added a committee to han
dle public utility measures exclusively.
Caucus Open to Democrats.
The Senate organization programme
was revised shortly before midnight
last night in n open caucus to which
the four Democratic members were
Invited and newspapermen admitted.
Senator Ralph D. Nichols was elect
ed President pro tern, of the Senate and
two members were added to the rules
committee, one of which places is
understood to go to Harve H. Phipps,
of Spokane, ex-Progressive, and the
other to one of the Democratic Sen
ators. Senator P. H. Carlyon, of
Thurston, was regarded as the regu
lar organization's choice for President
pro tern.- It is understood that the in
surgent element has dictated two or
three committee appointment changes
in the Senate.
Tomorrow -will be devoted to picking
up loose ends of organizing the ses
sion, an operation preparatory to tak
ing up the regular programme fol
lowing Governor Lister's inaugural on
Wednesday. Few changes have been
made in important positions in either
house, most of which are filled by the
Incumbents of two years ago, and the
organizations have generally gone
through as previously forecast, with
the exceptions of changes made in
Lieutenant - Governor Loula F. Hart's
plans.
Bone Dry Road Looks Smooth.
Today's developments indicate smooth
passage for the bone-dry bill which
E. E. Halsey will introduce In the
House, but the prospects of the higher
educational readjustment and Increased
military levy are becoming more com
plicated.
Eastern Washington members had
started a fight on the choice of Victor
Zednick. member of the House from
King, as chairman of the new educa
tional committee, holding Mr. Zednick
as a supporter of the university, to be
unfair toward the state college, but
Mr. Zednick announces tonight that he
would not consider accepting the
chairmanship if it were offered him.
State College Influences are opposing
the educational survey commission re
port because of proposals to take archi
tecture and "Imllar courses out of the
Stat College curriculum and leave
them solely to the university.
In declaring the electoral vote of the
state for Mr. Wilson and Mr. Marshall
today the seven Democratic electors
deadlocked for six ballots over the
choice of one of their number to de
liver the vote to the Vice-President in
the United States Senate, finally se
lecting George F. Christensen, of Stev
enson. He is regarded as a supporter
of State Chairman John B. Fogarty in
the fight now smouldering between the
State Democratic Committee chairman
and the Administration forces.
Spokane Elector Withdraws.
D. M. Drumheller, of Spokane, was a
candidate for the Washington trip until
he learned that he would have to be
in Washington on the fourth Monday
of this month, when he withdrew.
The Democratic electors who met
here today for the formal Presidential
balloting were C. C Brown. Castle
Rock: E. M. Connor. South Bend;
George F. Christensen. Stevenson: D. M.
Drumheller, Spokane: Francis Gonahoe,
Chehalis; G. W. Hoxie, Leavenworth; J.
A. Sloan, Seattle. No question was
mlis. of Connor's riKht to sit as a
Wilson elector because of part of his
vote having been erroneously reported
cast for the late A. P. stream.
In the opening ceremonies today
Chief Justice O. G. Ellis administered
the oath to the Senate, and Justice S.
J. Chadwick swore in tne Mouse, nev.
