Dyinu Out.

The Japanese scare, If il may proper.
ly be called that, appears to have dis.
appeared. A confident feeling exists in
official circles that danger of trouble
with the great power Of the far east
has passed away with the cordial re
ception given by the government, press
and people of Japan to the comments
in President Roosevelt's annual mes
sage on the subject of discrimination
against Japanese subjects In the Unit.
ed States. Since the California sena
tors have called on the president they
seem to feel better. Speaking of the
matter of excluding Japanese children
from their schools, Senator Perkins
said:
more fuss has been made about il
east than out west. The truth is that
there are not forty Japanese children
of school age in San Francisco, and
probably not 100 in the entire state.
Therefore, it seems to me that the
small number of children should make
no objection to attending the schools

HOTEL FOR WORKING

Author of 1.-The Long Day.
Wants Hotels for Women Like
Mills Hotels for Men.

We need a. we'll regulated system Of
boarding and lodging houses where we
can live with decenoy upon the small
wages we receive. We do not want
any so-called working girls homes
God forgive the phemism!-which,
while overcharging us for the miserable
accommodation, at the same time
would put us in the attitude Of charity
dependents. What the working girl
needs is a cheap hotel or a system of
hotels-for she needs great many of

Hotel for workingmen. She also needs
a system Of we'll regulated lodging
houses such as are scattered all over

experience Of the working girls home

from my observations and inquiries re-

which I have since visited, justifies mo
in making a few suggestions regarding
the general plan and conduct of the

be no semblance Of charity. Let the

many Prison LABOR
: REFORMS UNDER WAY
Labor Commissioner of New
Jersey Makes Startling
Report to Governor.
Says That Prison Labor Does
Not Pay and is Objection !:
able to State Interests.

In a large number of the states, of the
Union at the present time, societies, civic
associations and ptblic spirited men and
women are taking up an aggressive CAM
paign against the present methods Of en-
ploying convicts. The most hopeful phase
of the situation is the fact that the pris-
on authorities all over the country have
been made to realize that the general
public Is dissatisfied with all systems Of
prison administration that place the free
workingman in competition with convicts.
Already number Of states have prom
ised to reorganize their prison methods,
and, if the agitation continues, there is
no question but that the reform will be-
come general throughout the whole coun-
try.
In New Jersey the commissioner Of
Charities and o Corrections, George*:B
Wight, has made a. report to the governor
of the conditions existing in. that state
Mr.. Wight says that where the state Of
New Jersey sells the labor Of its convicts
under contracts with seven different firms
the returns do not average more than FIVE
cents an hour per convict employed. Con-
sidering the Each that the state furnishes
workshops, power and supervision of the
convictN. he declares that the returns are
altogether inadequate. This shows that
convict labor contractors in New:
Jersey are getting rich out of the
profits of the convict's toll, the
same as-Mr. Lovely found to be the case
in more than a dozen other
states. In New Jersey the number of
convicts to be employed in any one indus
try is limited to 100, and Mr.. Wight be-
lieves that this regulation prevents the
products of prison labor from seriously
competing with those Of free industry.
Realizing the pernicious effects Of con-
vict labor ON the general prosperity in
their own trade, the Iron Moulders' Union
in Ohio has gotten out a circular letter to
the public which gives the reasons why
competition between free and convict; la
Dor should be abolished in that state.
Without attempting to NEEDLE in politics,
the Iron Moulders have also made q can
vas Of all the candidates for the State
Legislature for the purpose of deterlnin-
ing; their position on this most important
question. In this letter the union quotes
from the report Of the National Industrial
Commission to the 5sth Congress where
the statement is made, after a thorough
investigation by unbiased individuals,
that a revenues producing system Of con-
vict administration detracts from the re-:
formatory and disciplinary features Of
prison life, and that the objection Of the
free worki1gmen to prison labor Is entire
" justified. I. 4 Ess

FRANCHISE VALUATIONS


Inc tlMsory and protean character of
a franchise is freshly illustrated by
the valuations insisted upon by a pro-
pr1etary corporation for the yerv dif-
terent purposes of selling and Of list
ing for taxa ton. The New York Cen
trail Railroad company officially de-
mands the sum of 100000 900 as the
price of legal condemnation of it's fran
ch1se for the use of certain important
streets of New York city as right-of-
way, and stands in open court with
drawn sword to resist any lesser com
pensatlon. Last year the state board
assessed the same franchise at $780,
600, in spite OF the company's vehe-
ment protestation that such assess
ment is excessive and confiscatory, and
the company is today in court resisting
the enforcement of valuation at that
figure for taxation as strenuously as
1t Is at the same time Insisting as a
seller upon the high price.
The New York case is notable but
not unique. 1t by no means SURPRISES
the preposterous feat of the Nebraska
railroads, which on a notorious occas-
ion established in court by their own
witnesses the fact that the total value
OF their terminals and rights-of-way
IN Omaha was in excess of $4,000, 600,
and later caused the same value to
vanish utterly from the assessment
roll under pretense of distributing 1t
on q mileage basis throughout the
state. Perhaps some day q rule may
be found good enough to work both
ways for the franchise chameleon.

HECLA1M1NG. DESERT LANDS.
From Leslie's Weekly:
According to an official Of the geo.

the federal government organized it's
reclamation: service rs miles 3of main
irrigation canals Of river size have
been built, which, with others Of
smaller dimensions, constructed with
IN the past rs years, make a total Of
irrigation canals in the United States
long enough to span the earth twice,
and representing an outlay Of 100000
900. Every year." we are told, 1.-THE
area reached by these canals return a
harvest valued at more than $3.50, O00,-
600, with a population Of 2,000, 1000,
dwelling IN harmony and contentment,
"here only short time ago a wilder
ness or a desert reigned'' It is beyond
question that no investment Of govern
ment funds has yielded such large, i'm
mediate and satisfactory returns as
the money expended for irrigation
purposes in the far west.
NO one except those who have visit
ed such sections of the union as Colo
RADIO, New Mexico, Arizona and south
ern California can realize what irriRa-
ton has already done and what it's
extension means for the future of
these regions, where often for eight
months OF the year not drop Of rain
falls. Southern California-now one of
the richest, most fertile, and populous
sections of the United States would
still be, for the most part, an arid
and uninhabitable country were It not
for its vast systems Of irrigation. The
saying in. all these regions that water

adopted generous and far sighted
policy IN regard to reclamation pro-
