Show APPROPRIATIONS FOR SCHOOLS ARE INTACT Lower House, of the Idalio Legislature Refuses to Make Any Reduction, Special to The Tribune. BOISE, Idaho, Feb. 2. The minority economy programme to cut dowp educational edu-cational institution appropriations, as recommended by the sLate board of education, edu-cation, met with complete failure today and the Albion State normal again came out victorious. The house went on , on record as favoring appropriations approximating $S0U,0't0. At the same time I lh6 majority reported on the several mi-I mi-I nority bills to scale salaries of state I officials, recommending they be not j passed, so that salaries of officials op- , eratine: the state Kovernment will re- ' main unchanged at least for the n;xt two years. The minoruy received a further fur-ther jolt in its attempt to have the state tax commission abolished, as the majority major-ity again refused to report favorably on a bill of thin kind. A figtit developed !n the senate when the majority wing passed the house resolution, reso-lution, calling on the prison board to submit to the legislative, investigating committee the report of Expert Oleason on the accounts at the penitentiary. The minority fought the resolution on the ground that the majority only wanted it spread on the legislative records, because be-cause it gave, what it terms, to the prison, a "clean bill of health," while other reports re-ports by the expert charged the Republican Repub-lican majority with keeping matters off the records. The resolution was passed after a spirited debated. |
