Jtejeelion of Measure Proposing to

, Compensation Act.
BOISE, Idaho, .March So. (Special.)
When Moses Alexander signed the
several appropriation bills and budgets
paesed by the last Legislature, the
prospects of a special session of that
body in the immediate future vanished.
3Jis cutting from these measures of
S2W,!t31.7D. makes it possible for him
to take credit for a savins of $1,000,-
000 to the state during the first three
months of his administration, a cam
paign promise known as the "million
lollar" plank, and it is said to be
the reason there are now no immedi
ate prospects of an extra session.
Many of the numerous bills that met
with executive disapproval were found
to contain cleverly covered jokers:
others were found to amend sections
of the codes or session laws when they
intended to amend entirely different
sections.
Sportsmen Aroused by Veto.
It was the veto of the fish and game
bill, however, that seems to have
urouscd more resentment than any
thing else. Sportsmen over the state
believe they are responsible for the
fish and game department, which is
sell'-supportins.' on license fees they
put into it. They wanted the depart
ment, which has always been in poli
tics, removed from that influence and
Placed in charge of a commission. The
Governor made a campaign against the
reation of additional commissions and
Kave this as his main reason for dis
approving the act.
Ordinarly veto of a workmen's com
pensation commission would have
urouscd a storm of protest over the
state. The bill the Governor disap
proved, while drafted by a Commission
appointed two years S. carried an
xcetpional low benefit scale for la
borers injured and met with their dis
approval and opposition.
Money Items Drairs Ax.
They tried to amend the bill in
the Legislature but met with defeat
both in the House and Senate. Then
thev carried their fight on it to the
Governor. In addition, the bill carried
a $50,000 appropriation, when $15,000
would have been sufficient for the first
two years, it Is said. This the Gov
ernor accepted as a bid to veto it and
he forthwith proceeded to do so.
Behind exercise of the veto power
on the appropriations carried for the
Slate Board of Health is a talc that
did not show on the surface a bitter
conflict between the secretary of the
Board, Dr. Ralph Falk. and the Gov
ernor. Dr. Falk is a young physician.
His father was one or the pioneer
clothing and general merchants of
Boise, a close friend of the Governor.
Governor Alexander is one of the lead
ing clothing merchants of. the Inter
montatn country.
Letter Thougbt Insult.
Duriu? the last campaign Dr. Falk
wrote letters addrebsed to Idaho phy
sicians In which he referred to the
present Governor, then a candidate,
as an -ignorant clothing merchant.
This was taken by Governor Alexan
der as a direct personal insult which
he resented. He declared he would
iispose of Dr. Kalk'a service to the
Uie when ho becamo Governor. The
opportunity came on the appropriation
bill He vetoed the salary and office
llowance for tho next two years, of
the secretary of the Board of Health,
a total of $7500.
