Passage during yesterday's session of the senate of the anti-cigarette bill absolutely prohibiting the manufacture or sale of cigarettes in the state of Idaho or their smoking, by the one-sided vote of 29 to 12, jarred the solons to a realization of what may be expected before the session is over. Senator Harding, minority member of the senate, prominent Mormon bishop of Oneida county, made probably the most forceful address of the session so far, when he arose to champion the measure which he had introduced. He said that where six billions of cigarettes were smoked ten years ago, there are now forty-six billion consumed to the detriment of the smokers. He presented to the senate a stack of petitions signed by people in all parts of Idaho urging passage of the bill. The vote on the measure stood as follows: Ayes—Baker, Christensen, Clark of Bear Lake, Clarke of Clark, Disney, Featherstone, Gilchrist, Harding, Hegsted, Hunt, Johnson, Jones, Kerrick, McKinney, MacMurray, Mix, Monson, Orme, Paddock, Porter, Reed, Rehberg, Seaver, Smith, Sutcliffe, Thomas, Thompson, Van Hoesen, Witty. Total 29.

Noes—Armstrong, Bought on, Burkey, Fish, Hunter, Keith, King, Sonner, Whitman, Whitten, and Yeaman. Total 12.

Absent and not voting—Howarth, Noggle, Whitcomb. Total 3.
