MINORITY'S
State Institutions' Improvements
Provided For in Jlensure With
Slight Shaving of Hequests.
Senate Bill Postponed.
BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 6. (Special.)
The 1S115-1918 budget for the states
educational institutions. House bill Io.
69, was passed by the House of Rep
resentatives this mornlns, despite the
last effort of the minority to effect
an economy by reducing the appropria
tion. Approximately S80,000 is carried by
the bill for salaries, current expenses,
maintenance and improvements at the
university. Normal School, Industrial
School, Pocatello Academy and Deaf
and Blind School. The bill is approxi
mately the same as Introduced by the
House committee on educational Insti
tutions with the exception of an amend
ment to include an appropriation for
the Normal. Some of the requests made
bv the separate institutions were scaled
down by the Board of Education or by
the appropriations committee.
Representative. Anderson, of Canyon,
led the final aUampt to defeat the bill
on the minority side, on the argument
that the state Is not in position to af
ford so large a support for its schools.
He urged no cuts in salaries, but
wanted a recommitment of the bill to
take out some of the provisions for
improvements in buildings and enlarge
ments. Mr. McGowan gave the strong
est speech in favor of the bill, quoting
statistics to show the relative school
expenditures of Montana, Washington,
Oregon, Utah, Nevada, California and
Idaho, which placed tnis state in mo
lowest per capita appropriations.
An attempt to pass the Senate local
option bill ahead of the House prohU
bltion measure failed by a vote of 29
to 27 on an issue to suspend the rules.
The motion was not subject to de
bate, but the rollcall indicated opposi
tion by practically the same members
who are sponsors for House bill No.
142, which is now in. committee of the
whole House.
The House passed 12 bills, all of
minor importance. The most important
was No. 44. giving a J3750 homestead
exemption from execution or levy. The
Senate was not in session.

PRfSONWORKDISCOSSED
WASHINGTON PRISON WABDEN
BACK FROM INVESTIGATIONS.
Secondary Industries Are Considered
After Eastern Tour of Inspection
and Scope Is Explained.
WALLA WALLA, Wash., Feb. 6.
(Special.) After outlining his recent
trip East, during which he inspected
the larger penitentiaries to determine
the best industry or industries to be
established here. Warden Henry Drum,
of the Washington penitentiary, in his
report to the Board of Control, sug
gests some secondary industries for
the present and also suggests the ap
pointment of a commission to inves
tigate the others.
Mr. Drum urges that the board ask
for a moderate appropriattion to in
stall, in a small way, one or more sec
ondary industries. Those suggested
are:
Brooms Only a small equipment
would be necessary to supply brooms,
fiber brushes and doormats to the state
institutions.
Furniture Making of seats, desks
and other furniture for public schools
and churches is perhaps feasible, with
the addition to present equipment of
foundry facilities.
Buttons Musselshells possibly could
be secured cheaply.
' Tannery Leather output can be
utilized in making shoes, saddles, har
ness and upholstery.
Installation of any of these, as well
as others. Warden Drum says, implies
legislative permission to sell the
product. 1
As jute bags cannot be made at a
profit, Mr Drum goes exhaustively into
the matter "f utilizing the machinery.
He offers two possibilities substitut
ing "stranda" or straw fiber for Jute,
if the stranda will work satisfactorily:
or making woolen fabrics for state in
stitutions anu for sale. These, how
ever, he says, are uggestions, not rec
ommendations. He also suggests that it might be
feasible to use the men to clear the
state's logged-off lands or the reforest
ing of these lands under the honor
camp plan. This work would render
marketable land not otherwise sale
able, secure settlers and provide work
and pay to the honor camp man, ac
cording io but tiieorXs . .
