The Idaho legislature has set
tled down to active business.
Already more has been trans
acted than has been accom
plished by the average fusion
legislature With tliree-fourths of
the session gone. The compari
sort is especially strong when
made with respect to any fusion
sessions when a United States
senator has been elected. The
republican legislature of 1903 or
ganized and elected a senator in
the same time that the fusion
legislature of the past has de
voted to organization—-the se
lection of clerks and janitors,
etc. With the fusionists it has
been a fight for a few measley
salaries. With the republicans
the idea has been to dispose of
those matters with the least pos
sible delay and expense that the
legislature might settle down to
the serious business of the ses
sion.
Already a large number of
measures are ready for action.
Some of them are meritorious,
but for the most part they re
present the views of individuals
who have failed to take into con
sidération the interests of
the state as a whole. These,
of course, will be sent to
tlie graveyard. The disposition
of the legislature seems to be to
enact a few good laws rather
a lot of poor, or even mediocre
measures. Furthermore, it has
been found necessary to cobble
up a lot of legislation of fusion
legislatures. Some of these
measures had they been proper
ly drafted, would have been
beneficial to the state, but they
were thrown together so care
lessly that they have stood dead
letters on our statute books. An
example of this is furnished in
laws that provide no penalty for
their violation. It seemed to
have been the aim of the fusion
legislatures to hoodwink the
people into believing that they
had given them some measures
that would benefit them. They
said this or that should not be
done but failed to fix a penalty
for the violation of the enact
ments, which, of course, rendered
them nugatorp. There are sev
eral examples of that kind. In
other cases more serious objec
tions are raised. Take the mat
ter of the codes for example.
The fusion legislatures and ad
ministrations foisted onto the
people oi this state a set of codes
that cost this state the sum of
$32,000, and today they are
not worth the paper they are
printed on in so far as being the
laws of the state. They were
never adopted by the legislature
and the present session hardly
dare adopt them because they do
not know what is in them that
should not be there or what of
the old laws that should be there
were left out by the commissions
that cobbled them.
Idaho's laws should be codified, there
is no question about that, but they
should be codified right. It is the
opinion of some of the best posted men
in the legislature, of both political
parties, that the codes as printed should
be repudiated and a new codification
ordered

lative reapportioimient. Two years ago
the legislature enacted a reapportion
mind of every fair minded man and wo
man in the state. It was based on noth
ing excepting a determination on the
part of the fusion leaders to steal the
1908 legislature. Small counties that
\yere counted safely democratic, were
given representation entirely out of pro
portion to their population or voting
strength and large republican counties
were correspondingly curtailed. Of
course this chicken came home to roost.
Such poultry always does. The repub
lican party, in the great victory won
last November, profited by the attempt
ed thett of democracy without having
been any party to the shameless act.
But the republicans do not propose to
enact any such a reapportionment act.
Thu unanimous sentiment is in favor of
a law giving each county the represen
tation it is entitled to under a fixed
basis. Some favor the vote on gover
nor cast last November. Others favor
the registration as a basis, and still
others urge it would be fairer to strike
an average between the registration,
the vote and the population according
to the last census. However, whatever
is doue, the people can rest assured that
each county will be given fair repre
sentation.

THE REFORM SCHOOL.
The Journal sincerely hopes that the
reform school bill, so far as it locates
lhat institution in Fremont county, will
meet its Waterloo in the senate. Fre
mont county should not throw it., op
portunities away on a reform school
There are other things far better, and
within the reach of our legislators.
\\ e do not desire, in the least degree,
to throw cold water on the ambitions of
our aspiring legislators. The motive
which has actuated our representatives
in bringing home some trophy from the
scene of legislative carnage is praise
worthy; but we object to Fremont
county being put off with a reform
school. What good will it be to us
after the money appropriated tor land
and buildings has been expended? It
brings nothing to us only incorrigibles
and a bad name. When one mentions
Blackfoot, all they think about is the
insane asylum. It will be the same
with Fremont. This is not the proper
county for it anyhow. It should be lo
rated in Boise, where the penitentiary
is. and the Journal hopes Ada county
will get it. for it is hers, by right
M hy don't our delegation in Boise
tntion which is worth a hundred Re
i'irm schools to us. It may take more
hard work to get this institution, but it
will be something we will always look
to with pride and gratification, and will
build up the country and give us lires
tige.
We suggest to our legislative delega
tion that they swap off the reform
school, if it is not too late, and in re
turn get Ada and her friends to help
pull the Agricultural college to Fre
ni'int. Rexbnrg Journal.
Wallis has tipped his hand to the
rtiiuinn laiMt* me i aie nom »dl to *'.)() per

lishing this statement.
....HIT. n.is tijijjMi ms nanu to cue i
people of Fremont county in the above |
article. This is his "tip " in plain :
English: If Rexbnrg cannot land the I
Reform school, we (us Rexbnrg fellows) !
will see that Fremont county loses it i
entirely. There are a few ''hide bound" !
would-be politicians around our sister I
town who engage in the above under
handed tactics to defeat any measure
meant for the welfare and advancement
of the comity, if it is not for Rexburg's
special benefit.
We do not consider it wrong for en
thusiastic individuals to lend every pos
sible means of assistance to the promo
tion and progress of the city or town in
which they live, but those who take a
position that if we can not have the di
reel benefit derived from industrial
institutions located within our borders,
we will see to it that our sister village
is not the recipient of public benefits:
are short sighted and selfishness their
motive; this to the financialloss of the
people of the county.
There is but little chance of the estab
lishment of an agricultural college in
Idaho for several years; let us take
that which is within reach of us at
present. We are quite sure that Editor
Wallis does not diet himself from Mon
day until Saturday upon the anticipa
tion of some one inviting him to a
chicken dinner on Sunday, but cats
corn bread and potatoes (like other edi
tors) three times daily, and takes a
chance at the good things enjoyed by
others when an opportunity affords.
Let us nnite in one effort to encour
age our legislators in this, the first ef
fort to secure something for Fremont
county. When in the dim distant
future the establishing of an Agricul
tural College comes up, we have fighters
in Fremont county who are competent
and willing to devote their time and
money, if need be to the securing of
the Agricultural College. There is
surely as much room in Fremont countv
for two institutions as Ada county has
for three or four.
Let the county secure the school and
the location of the buildings and grounds
be an after consideration. Don't, admit
your inability to cope with St. Anthony
in securing the location, but get in and
make a bid for i( when the time comes.
Let's have the Industrial School.

inform the taxpayers that the Peak

Dear brother don't you really think
yon are somewhat of a fool? Wouldn't
you take $90? Are you aware of the!
fact that a law has been passed, since
the Fremont County News contracted
to publish the commissioners' proceed
ings and all the legal notices for $70 per
quarter, requiring the official paper to
publish once a year a complete state
ment of the business transacted by the
respective county officers? We refer
you to the files of your own paper and
you will find about April, 1903, that the
paper you proudly boast as the editor
of. published the first annual statement
which took about a page of table work,
and which must be run two issues.
This alone is worth $40 per year and
the county attorney, (J. D. Millsaps.
democrat,) recommended to the board
of commissioners that, owing to the
publishing of this statement, they
sliohld raise the rate from $70 to $90 per
We do not know whether it is the de
sire of our contemporary to really lie or
not, but it appears to us that
he infers that we are receiving $90 per

now. He has come to the conclusion

are they of a nature which creates favor

of the mntterings of a 14-year-old school
boy. His misrepresentation of facts is
well understood by his readers, and he
is of Mich little consequence politically
and otherwise, deserving only tlie name
of "turn coat," that his name is a sort
of a sore eye to the leaders of demo

Tendency of the Times.
The tendency of medical science is
toward preventive measures. The best
thought of the world is being given to
the subject It is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. It has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that medi
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy. Pnenmonia always re
sults from a cold or froui an attack of
influenza (grip), and it has been observ
ed that this remedy counteracts any
tendency of these diseases toward pneu
monia. This has been fully proven in
many thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip in recent
years, and can be relied upon with im
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re
sults from a slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until it is suddenly
i discovered that there is fever and diffi
| cnlty in breathing and pains in the chest
: and then it is announced that the pa
I tient has pneumonia. Be on the safe
! side and take Chamberlain's Cough
i Remedy as soon as the cough is con
! traded. It always cures. For sale by
