THE SUNDAY OREGONIAN, PORTLAND, 31 ARCH 4, 1917. EXTRA SESSION IS LIKELY IN IDAHO Deadlock Over Compensation Act Is Responsible for De layed Legislation. GOVERNOR MAKES THREAT Pledges Insisted on Even if Mem bers Have to Hold Over Million Voted for Roads and Fand Is Swelled by Counties. "BOISE. Idaho, March 3. (Special.) The Legislature has less than a week in which to win4i up Its affairs within the 60-day per diem limitation. It Is due to adjourn Thursday. The two houses have only gotten down to real work. Already there Is talk of an ex tra session. The Governor and other party lead ers have made It plain to Democrats In the Legislature that they will either enact into law every pledge made by the party or they will convene in ses sion extraordinary until they do so. If there Is an extra session It will be brought about through a promised deadlock on the workmen's compen sation act. Both parties are pledged to this legislation, but there is a wide dif ference of opinion as to the character of compensation whether compulsory or optional. There are members in both houses who would force an extra session in order that the Legislature could d vote its time exclusively to the pas sage of a workmen's compensation act. Bach Kills Other's Bill. Whether such a law Is passed at the regular session depends entirely on the action the House takes on the Senate measure. The House originally passed the Bates bill, a compulsory compensa- tlon act. At the same time the House killed the Anderson bill, an elective compensation act. In turn the Senate killed the Bates bill and passed one of its own known as the Rockwell elect ive act. Accompanying it 13 a com panion state Insurance measure. The House has both of them. A confer ence committee is divided as to what report to make. The Republicans are standing solidly for the Senate meas ure; the Democrats are divided. Some of them would strike out all of the Rockwell bill and amend It by substi tuting the Anderson measure, and there the Issue hangs. The good road bond Issue of $1,000,000 passed by the Legislature and which will receive the approval of the Gov ernor paves the way for a. grand total of $2,750,000 being spent for roads In Idaho during 1917 and 1918. The $1,000,000 is apportioned to the main arteries of the state highway sys tem as state funds as follows: Pan handle, $15,000; Bonner and Boundary counties or Port Hill connection, $50. 000; North Pacific, $75,000; north and south highway, $375,000; Idaho-Mon tana, $120,000; Idaho-Pacific $160,000 Yellowstone, $65,000; Idaho-Utah, $20- 000; for reimbursement to counties, $90,000; unapportloned, $30,000. Counties Meet Appropriation. The counties meet the state appor tionment as follows: Panhandle, $25, 000; Bonner and boundary counties, $50,000; North Pacific, $100,000; north and south, $400,000; Idaho-Montana, $185,000; Idaho-Pacific, $320,00; Yellow stone, $130,000; Idaho-Utah, $40,000. To of $2,750,000 being spent for roads in $135,000 forest service money, making a grand total of $2,750,000. The new military bill seeking to con form to the terms of the National de fense act contains a draft clause, the existence of which broke over the House of Representatives like an ex ploding six-inch shell. For the first time in the history of the state a complete examination Is going to be had into land department affairs. By the terms of a bill the state land department will have gen eral supervision of the investigation which will be conducted by State Au ditor Clarence Van Deusen.
