DRIVE S0ÛI TO
BE UMTS
Oregon Short Line Joins With
Other Railroads in Campaign
Which Opens Latter Part of
October.
WAJVT PERFECT RECORD
Every Effort Will Be Made to
Cut Down Acoidents From
Oct. 18 to 31 to the Lowest
Possible Minimum.
A big accident prevention drive is
♦vein* planned by the Oregon Short
Line in connection with all the other
Xederal controlled railroads of the
United States. This cumpaign la to be
conducted during the period front Oct.
18 to SI inclusive, according to C*. T.
Bailey, safety first agent of the tail
road, with headquarters at Salt Lake
City, who was in Boise yesterday.
"Those In charge of this campaign,"
Bald Mr. Bailey, "feel that while It may
not be possible to make an absolutely
perfect record, they do expect to come
ns near to that 100 per cent as la hu
manly possible. Committees are being
organised at terminal points and at
the various shops, yards are being
cleaned up, and discussions are being
held with various employes as to un
safe practices of which they may have
been guilty. Extra precautions during
the dates named are being urged upon
Ail Short Eine workers.
OBJECT IS REDUCTION.
"Our lu, i\e is that through a sys
tem of intensive education It will be
possible to reduce our total of acci
dents to the lowest possible minimum.
The interstate commerce commission
requires us to report any accident in
which an employe Is incapacitated for
service for more than three days. Out
force Is being organized so as to make
as few reports of this character as
possible necessary.
"tinder federal management at this
time are 187 different railroads, em
ploying approximately two million
men. This refers to operating and
shop employes, and employes of the
maintenance department, such as sec
tion men, bridge gangs, paint outfits,
carpenters and builders.
"East June a drive continuing over
period of one week was held in
the Central Western Region. At va

months of 1919 similar drives were
held in all of !he regional jurisdictions.

diminution in the casualty lint. The
figures show that far the first nix
months of IMS, Ml fewer employee
were killed and 18,484 fewer were in
jured than during the corresponding
period of 1(11.
"It has been estimated that at least
80 per cent of accidents and Injuries on
our railroads are brought about by un
safe practices, that le practices which
can be changed by a little education.
The purpose of this campaign la to Im
press upon men who may have used
such practices that they must adopt
safer methods.
"it Is desired also to impress em

proved lines with the fact that It Is
necessary for them tu look after their
fellow employes to educate them Into
better operating methods ayd to make
them understand that an 'unsafe em

but to his fellow workers."
When the campaign is ended. Mr.
Bailey promises to submit figures on
the result and he believes they will
be very gratifying not only to the rail
road management, but to the general
public.

BENEFIT OF MIES
Widow of Pioneer Victor in
Twn Cases Decided by Su
preme Court—Also Qiven
Allowance From Estate.
Mary W. Letup, widow of Edward
Eemp, who died Sept. 6, 1912, is en
titled to the proceeds of two life In
surance polices for 82500 each and to
850 per month allowance from the
estate, the state supreme court held
Saturday In two cases appealed from
the Ada county district court.
In the case Involving the life insur
ance policies, tho probate court set
apart the proceeds of the policies to
the widow on the theory that they
were community property and did not
pass with the will, of which Herbert
I.emp and Bernard Eemp were the
legatees. The district court reversed
this judgment on the theory that the
proceeds of the policies were Aepar
ate property and passed by the will
to the legatees. The supreme court
reversed the district court nnd sus
tained the probate court, awarding
costs to the appellant, Mrs. Eemp.
The second case was an appeal from
the judgment of the district court af
firming an order of the probate court
allowing Mrs. Lemp 850 per month out
of the estate. A petition had been
filed in the probate court for an al
lowance of 8100 per month, alleging
that the petitioner was the widow of
the decedent. Bernard and Hej-Jiert
T ,, .. .. „ . . __
L«mp alleged that she was not a mem
her ,,f decedent'« fetn.ie
ber of decedent's family for the rea
son that she had voluntarily separ
ated from him more than two years
before his death.
"In the absence of any showing: to
the contrary, the presumption is that
decedent's widow was a member of
his family," the state supreme court
holds.

for tho great work they did for the
great cause.
"It was my good fortune to command
the first heavy Americn artillery reg
iment to face the enemy. This regi
ment was made up of Idaho boys
many of whom are from your own
community.
rhe colonel gave a graphic account
of the work done by this artillery reg
iment and told of the effective stop
ping of tho enemy and of driving them

Idaho," said Col. Patch.
"There is as much credit due to
the man who served in America as
to him who served overseas.
"Our boys drove the enemy from
Paris, never for him to return.
"The march to St. Mihiel was the
most orderly ever made by any regi
ment in France and these troops were
made up of Idaho soldiers.
"The war is over nnd w« must never
forget the brave boys left behind.
"The w'hole world is in a chaotic
condition. There is a future for each
one of the boys. I love overy one of
you and I wish you God-speed."

roundly applauded at the conclusion
of her splendid talk.

GOV. DAVIS' FORCEFUL ADDRESS.
Governor Davis delivered the prin
cipal address of the day. He spoke in
part as follows:
"We have made a change In our
state government."
The governor then went into some
detail in explaining the present sys
tem of state government in Idaho.
"The valuation of our state is about
8500,000,000," said the governor. He
urged every citizen to take more in
terest in governmental affairs. He
urged the history teachers in our
schools to teach state government in
a practical way.
The governor stated the condition of
our state was in a very bad way when
the present administration took over
the reins of government. He said the
bonded Indebtedness had about
reached Its legdl limit and that It Is
necessary to raise the funds for oper
ating the state by direct taxation.
The governor spoke of tile in
creased levy for the next tax period.
He said one-third of it goes to new
roads. He promised as good roads for
Idaho as any state In the northwest
Idaho through the state and counties
has about 815,000.009 raised for the
national government to match In the
construction of good roads,'' said the
governor.
OPPOSES THE LEAGUE.
Speaking of the president and Mrs
Wilson, the governor said they are
very charming people to meet, and said
he enjoyed their sociability very great
ly when he went north to Introduce
the president to the audience at Coeur
d'Alene city.
"The president says the league of
nations Is not a political question. He
said It is not open for debate. I dis
agree with him. 1 say It la a debatable
question."
The governor said "we will continue
to stand by the constitution of the
United States In preference to. the
leuguo of nations. The framers of the
constitution did a mighty good Job.
They did not frame a democracy or an
autocracy, but they did frame a re
public. A republic la a golden mean
between the other extremes,
"Ours Is the first government that
secured for Its people religious liberty,
freedom of the press, the popular fran
chise and other great things that ben
efit eveyy Individual In this nation."
The governor told of the chaotic
