The Senate suspended the rules, Saturday, and passed house bill No. 1, by Taylor. This bill, approved by the finance committee, provides $82,200 to care for the expenses of the seventeenth session of the Idaho legislature. The bill now goes to the governor.

Simplifying and making more businesslike the handling of certificates, contracts and assignments for the sale of state lands is provided for in senate bill No. 23 and 24, introduced at the morning session, Saturday, by Senator Coffin, republican of Fremont county. No. 23 provides that section 2869 of the compiled statutes be so amended that the state land board will have custody of the certificates, contracts and assignments for the sale of state lands and will also collect the moneys on such instruments. No. 24 would amend section 341, article three, chapter 17, compiled statutes, as amended by chapter 246 of the 1921 session laws, by relieving the department of public investments of this work which is transferred to the land by the senate.

In the house, one of the bills introduced was the progressive statewide direct primary bill, identical with the one previously introduced in the senate. It bears the serial of house bill No. 23 and the name of Representative W.  T. Smith, of Jerome County.
