AGAINST SUGAR BOUNTY
Organized Labor Will Test IL
in the Courts.

~ WV OO@b SSs
The beet sugar bounty bill passed
by the last legislature is evidently
going to meet with some opposition
and may have to be settled in the
courts. A correspondent to the
Spokesman Review from Boise
says:
at is now evident that the
Utah Sugar company, which is to
erect factory near Idaho Falls,
Idaho, will not be permitted to col
lect the bounty granted by the last
legislature without an appeal to
the courts.
'"The legislature passed meas
ure giving one cent per pound
bounty for every pound of sugar
manufactured in the state from
beets grown therein during the
year 1908 and one half cent per
pound for sugar manufactured dur
ing 1904.
"'The Utah Sugar company,
organized to erect the Idaho fac
tory, is composed of the leading
Mormons who are operating fac
tories in Utah. The bill was
pushed through the legislature by
the log rolling process by the solid
vote of the Mormon members who
represent the counties of southern
Idaho.
IAN amendment that no bounty
should be paid if any Asiatic labor
was employed was defeated and it
is now given out that 1000 Japs
will be employed in the cultivation
of the beets.
GAS the leading attorneys of the
state claim the act is unconstitu.
tional, Idaho having an antiloan.

Municipal Ownership.

The result of the municipal
election held in Chicago last week
is but another triumph for the
public ownership idea; at least SC
far as it applies to the municipal
lighting and traction question.
Il he municipal ownership prop
ositon was q distinct issue in the
campaign and not only Mr.. Har-
riso d, but nearly all of the alder
manic candidates who favored
municipal ownership, received the
indorcement of the people.
This, it cannot be denied, was
equivalent to referendum vote
on the municipal ownership ques'
ton, and it may be expected that
Chi ago will at once take adj
van ced steps in that direction.
The fact cannot be disguised
that the municipal public idea il
gaining ground wherever anc
VIII never put to the test. How
far a municipality or a state may
go in this direction is a matter
still to be determined; and it is 1
que stiop that depends largely up
on the conditions existing il
each particular instance.
But the important fact is-ant
it ) worthy of more than pass
ing note-that the people ar
rapidly accepting the principle o
public ownership. What 10 or L
yea RS ago would have been re
garded as inexpedient and eve
dangerous has come to be re
gar ded as being, under certain con
ditions, not only justi6able, bu
necessary.
The reason for this change c
opinion is to be easily found i
the tendency of private corpora
ito Us TO make the public pay di
vidends on securities that hav
been multiplied three and fou
tin les over by shrewd stock ms
nipulators, and, in return there
for, render only such service a
the public is able to extract frol
them.-Dayton Courier Press.

If the tariff is a business ques-
ton and is to be settled on refer
ence to cost of production, cost OF
labor, ETC., why is it we never
mention these industries by name
and discuss the cost? Why is it
that we fight so shy of the merits
OF the case and reply to every

glittering generalities? Is it be-
cause we are afraid of too close in

As Much Enjoyed by the Small Boy
as by the Epicure.
The demand for frogs is great. 1t
a increased with the years until now
at almost every banquet of Importance
the dainty is on the menu. All of the
larger dining places use from six to
ten dozens per day. OF these crea-
lures, which. according - a scientific
paper, are waiting to be classified by
law as to whether they are fish or
animals-just as woman had to wait
for centuries to find out whether or
not they had souls-there seems to be
no especial variety for eating. They
are caught anywhere, and, as a small
boy said: "All frogs are good to eat
1t they are not toads."
Boys and girls with nets much like
those used In catching butterflies, only
much stronger, can be seen making
for the small streams and ponds that
spot the fields about San Francisco.
Inc average small boy is an expert
In catching, killing and dressing the
palatable creatures. 1t is no unusual
sight to see away off in the field from
around which a few sturdy young
sons OF America are busy preparing
a feast. Ihey broil the tender, white
flesh, which they sprinkle with salt
n basic with a bit of butter, carried
perhaps in a cinnamon can in a pocket
along with %tish-hooks, keys, marbles
and string. The frogs may not be
on silver shells; they may be
garnished only with a spray of fresh
watercress, but | wager they are en-

the lawn in front of the tavern are to

cxbeIe and Her chlldrsn.

The Mother has eternal youth,
Yet in the fading of the year,
For sake of what must fade, in ruth
She wears a crown of oak-leaves scar.
BY whistling woods, by naked rocks,
That long have lost the summers heat,
She calls the wild unfolded fiocks,
And points them to their shelter meet.
In her deep bosom sink they all;
The hunter and the prey are there;
No ravin-cry, no hunger-call;
These do not fear, and those forbear.
The winding serpent watches not;
Unmatched, the field-mouse trembles
not;
Weak hyla, quiet in his grot.
So rests, nor changes line or spot.
For food the Mother gives them sleep;
Against the cold she gives them sleep;
To cheat their foes she gives them sleep
For safety gives them deathlike sleep.
The Mother has eternal youth,
And therefrom, in the Weakening year,
Their life r%evives; and they, in sooth,
Forget their mystic bondage drearl
