AUSTIN NOT IN NEED
OF RED CROSS HELP
National Director BickneI's
Report After Visiting Scene
of the Flood.

The Red Cross will not need to give
aid to the flood sufferers in Pennsylvania.
The state of Pennsylvania is not only
able to care for the striker citizens of
Austin and Costello. but is already do
ing so, thoroughly and effectively. and
any assistance would be redundant de-

probably half the corps will be dispensed
with; that all the sufferers are sheltered
and fed; that the work Of getting out
the dead is progressing with dispatch,
with 400 men digging in the debris; that
the sanitary precautions are of the best,
and that state constabulary are efficiently
policing the vicinity.
While the destruction of Austin is as
complete as pictured in the press, says
Mr.. Bicknel the loss of life has been
way below the supposed extent of the
calamity. From 100 to $50 dead are the
present estimates of the fatalities, he
says. Few persons were injured and

Washingtonians Who Have
Relatives in Stricken CITY

Among residents of Washington who
had relatives in the stricken city is
Fremont NJ. Clafiin. employed in the
computing section of the government
printing office. and living at 80 Adams
street northeast. Mrs, John CIaspy, a
cousin of Mr.. ClafIin. lived with her
husband directly in the path of the
inundation. and an aunt, Mrs. George
c. Lewis, lived with her family on
the hillside near Austin. a little above
the pathway of destruction cut by the
water.
Mr.. Clafin has heard nothing from
his relatives in Austin. and is anxious
ly awaiting word. He believes them
all safe. however, he thinks he
would have received word had any of
them persisted Mr.. Clafiin was born
In Austin and lived there until 1875,
when he went west before coming TO
Washington. He explained this morn =
ing that the town was named after T..
A. Austin. pioneer in the lumber
business who settled there in the
early forties Austin lived there prac-
ttcally alone for about twenty years
when the lumber business in that sec
ton began to develop. Mr.. Clafiin said
he saw the dam only recently. on a
visit to Austin, and that at that time
there was little apprehension it would
rive way.

Gov. Hawley has come out
squarely and arraigned every as
SCISSOR the state of Idaho has ever
had for failing to regard the
mandates of the law, and charged
them with entering into collus-
ion to defy and openly violate
he law, and that they have gross
ly violated their oath of office
in so doing. Then the governor
turns around and in answer to
the complaint that "the cash val
system will in case of fixed
levies, take vast sum of money
above the real needs, from the
pockets of the taxpayers which
will accumulate and have a ten
dency to cause extravaganza, !"
says that he will take care of the
fixed tax levies; in other words,
that he will do just what he has
denounced and condemned the as
SCISSORS for doing, ignore the law
and be come law unto himself,
and advises the county commits
sioners to go and do likewise.
He says: $50 far as fixed lev
les in the country are concerned,
| have about come to the conclu-
sion that they are only manda-
tory, and if the county commits
sioners are satisfied that a liter
al compliance with the statutes
will raise an unnecessarily large
fund, 1T WILL BE THEIR
DUTY TO DISREGARD SUCH
STATUTE, and by lower
ing the minimum rate fixed, raise
only such fund as is necessary.
/ was in doubt about this matter
for a long time, and while l do
not feel as certain now on this
as | do in regard to the state fix
ed levies, still / am pretty well
satisfied as to the correctness of
this position. Such advice from
the chief executive of state is
most amazing, and this follows
right upon the heels of his fam
Gus Jacksonian message to the as
SCISSORS in which he said "By the
Eternal will fire every one of
them who fails to comply with
| the law"

CONVICT LABOR PAYS ON
ROADS.

Idaho is a new and undevelop-
ed state. One of its greatest
needs is good roads. The cheap
est and best way to reach that
end at present is to use the con-
Wet labor of the state in improv-
ing the old and in building new
roads. This is a subject which
has received more or less discus
sion, and while no good reason
has been given in opposition to
this position, nothing definite has
been done to put the convicts to
work and the situation remains
unrelieved.
The state warden thinks there
would probably be more profit
derived by the state from con-
Wet labor utilized in the manu-
facture of over4alls than any other
way. But there would not, eth
er from a cash or Improvement
basis. Can the Idaho convicts
average a net profit to the state
of 1915 per day making overalls
Hardly. Yet that is what they
have been made to do for the
state of Washington in road
work, and good roads are worth
far more to Idaho than over-alls,
