provides for a reduction of the retail fee from $500 to $300, and for the Increase of the wholesale fee from $200 to $300, and requires druggists and merchants who sell intoxicating liquors to pay the same license fee a.K saloon-keepers. The fee for selling In country districts Is fixed at $100. The bill also makes a dea'ler sells or gives away liquor to habitual, drunkards liable for damages, to be paid to the relatives of such drunkard, and renders his license subject to The other measure provides that 50 per cent of alZ arising from liquor and. gambling licenses shall be paid into-the school fund of the district in which, collected, and that the other 50 per cent shall bo paid Into the county road fund, except In incorporated -wnere shall be paid into the city i'schpol fund, and one-half into the city treasury. The gambling license fees are now all paid into this school Ten per cent of the liquor license moneys is at present turned Into, -the.

fund for the redemption of State capital bonds, and the remaining- 90 per cent is used for general county purposes. Senator Dewey Is of the o-pln- Ion, and he 'believes -a good majority of I agrees with him, that the distribution of the moneys as proposed by him, In the Interest of good roads and better schools, would be more satisfactory to the people is the present -apportionment of the revenues In .15. H. Dewey, the young Senator from Owyheo and Cassia, who enjoys the distinction of representing 'the district in which he was born, has -been savagely attacked by Sweet newspapers for changing from Sweet to Shoup. Tho' principal accwa-tion brought -against him is that he made pledges repeatedly to the people of his county 'throughout the campaign to vote for Sweet.

Senator Dewey says, however, that he ma.de no p'ubllc promises to his constituents to support Sweet, and that the few men to wham he gave assurances to that effect Irave him from all obligation on account of such as have two-thirds of tha delegates to 'the convention -Hiat nominated him. He has been appealed -to by Senator Dubols 'and others to return to Sweet, but he remains firm In the belief that he is properly represent- dng the wishes of his constituents in course -he Is following. OF THE TEST OATH. Among the bills passed -the one to repeal -the test oath is of srreat -political significance. It recognizes 'the sin- cerity of the Mormon people in their statements that they -will 'obey the laws and places them on 'a par -with E.

H. JDewey- the other religious denominations of the State, so -far as politics is concerned. In the Legislature -the representatives the Mormon Church sent -up this yeai- are splendid men, and are loyally working for the best interests of the State. NEW INSURANCE BILL. A bill has been lately Introduced to regulate insurance matters in Idaho that i-3 of much interest to the people.

Tihe re are at present sixty companies doing business here, bringing in a total revenue -of Under the proposed it Is estimated the revenue -will bo $10,800,. a net gain to the State of over $7000. Under the present- law many agents solicit without certificates, as no provision is made by which the expense of invest)gating them can be hence they 'arc not compelled, to take out certificates, which they would 'be compelled -to do by the Insurance Commissioner. Under the proposed law the State Auditor is made Commissioner of Insurance-, but while this measure adds -to his official duties, it does not increase his salary. No fire insurance company can issue a policy in which provision is not made for cancellation of the policy at the request of the policy holder -and the return of the unearned premium, nor can a life policy be issued that does not contain a non- forfeiture clause after three payments.

It provides that -all losses must be paid within thirty days of proof of. death, or the license of the company Is forfeited. CORRUPT PRACTICES BILL. The bill Introduced by Representative McCarthy to prevent the corrupt use of money at elections provides that each political p-arty shall appoint a committee of five to have the exclusive handling of all party funds for oaimpaJgn purposes. Such committees 'are required to file within 'twenty-one days after the completion of the -official canvass of any election a detailed statement of all moneys expended by them.

The 'bill also requires every -candidate for office to file a s-imlar sil-atement of all moneys received and expended by him, all such statements to be made under oath. The amount to be expended by Is limited. Where the 'office is for yea)-, the amount shall not exceed 5 per cent ot 'the salary. Where the term is for two years, the 'amount is fixed at 7Mj per cent, while a candidate seeking an office for a longer term, may be permitted, to spend 10 per cent o-f the salary 'attached to such position for the term. 7 The NEW In case 'any cf 0 0 party committee resort practices or the candidate elected through 9uo meajis shall forfeit uisr.nffht.to hold the office.

They are as follows: "The Judge of the Second District has been guilty O'J conduct, which would render him liable to impeachment and which could 'be proved ihere. in fifteen' 'minutes by reputable Sen-o-tcr McGiH of Albany county, is Judge Blake's home, replied to Senator Hurt as follows: "The -statements of the gentleman from Natrona a.re un mitigated lies and he knew them to such when he made 'them. I have known Judge Blake as a friend -n els-lib or.

-'or twenty-five years, and I know -there Is no more upright citizen in. the State. or a man who is more highly esteemed as an official than he is." The incident created excitement in the Senate and was the oC discussion about the capital during- the day. is possible Senator Hurt may be called upon to -answer for 'bis utterances in a criminal proceeding- "'in the courts of the State. House recommended for passage -bi'H appropriating- $40,000 'to build -tihe Wyoming College at Lander and 'another appropriating $20,000 complete the State Penitentiary at Rawlins.

He insisted that if a single person perishtKl in blizzard of yesterday that the members of the (State Commission be arrested an-d tried for manslaughter. He also denounced the Senate for whai he termed its asinine stupidity, in. passing: a law tleing- up the relief iworlc -wlth-out so much red tapo. The discussion. soon took 2.
