LIGHT WANTS MORE LIGHT
Desires the Opinion of His Cenxtitu-
ents I'm Regard To Making Changes
I'm the Road LAWS

L respectfully call your attention to
the following road laws. and beg of
the county commissioners and tax
payers 10 let me know IL I am right
in trying TO have sections Sal, s42 and
S43 repealed.
Section s4I says it shall be the duty
of the county commissioners in each
county, at their first meeting in jan
uary of each and every year. to ap-
point three fit and proper persons in
each road district as commissioners
for roads and bridges, within their re-
spective districts, etc
Section S42 describes the duties of
these road commissioners.
Section SAB describes their terms of
office and fixes their pay at s12 per
annum. etc.
These laws are dead; no good, are
not wanted. Shall try and have them
repealed.
Also how about part of section S51
The law forbids county commissioners
from paying more than $50 per day
for oversers. and 10 cents per hour for
laborers, and for overseers not to do
any work unless they have no less
than six men employed each day, etc.
This in my judgment should be
changed, allowing the county COM
missioners the privilege of fixing ths
pay as they deem best, as few COM
petent men can be had to overseer
road work at s1.50 per day. In some
counties day labor is worth Is cents
per hour and no road help could be
had at 10 cents per hour, compelling
the county commissioners to either
evade the law or not work the roads.
The county commissioners should have
the right to fix the pay of day labor
ers.
Also, 1 call your attention to section
$50. This chapter allows the county
commissioners to appoint road
superintendent to supervise the repair
and building of new roads in the eoun-
! ty, but limits the pay to no more than
SO per day. The pay of superintend-
| ents should be left to the discretion
| of the county commissioners.
1 believe it would be a wise invest
ment for Marion county to have a
competent, discreet. wide-awake coun-
| ty road superintendent. who would
give his whole time and attention to
our public roads, seeing each road in
the county once each three months
Seeing that road overseers do good and
proper work, recruiting and keepina
| of road hands, making estimates oi
proposed work to be done. seeing thai
no part of the county is neglected. in
forming the commissioners of ths
roads and road needs. etc.
Also call your attention to chapter
S55. 1t says that every able-bodiet
nerson over the age of Is years and
under the age of As years, who doe:
not pay a road tax shall work or
public roads no more than eight day:
iper year.
| 1t should limit the amount to say
three days. Tt should include all il
the county. 1t should be strengthened
so that the Incorporated towns ant
cities would be compelled TO work al
i those whb do not pay any road tax TIL,
same as the people in the county.
1 will be glad through the columns
Iof our county papers or otherwise I,
ihear from our people on the abov'
subject. Now is the time to get read.
for good legislative work.

CHARGES CAUSE STIR
HITCHCOCK ACCUSED OF SPEND.
ING MILLION ILLEGALLY.
Ex-Clerk Tells Congressional Commit
tee He Can Prove Postal Clerks
Have to Make Untrue Reports.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Charges
against Postmaster General Hitchcock
and Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Stewart involving the alleged il
legal expenditure of 100000 of post
office funds for the installation of SAM
tary and safety devices on railway
mail cars created a stir at the capital
The charges were made before the
house committee on civil service re-
form by Urban A. Waters, editor of
the Denver Harpoon, once a railway
mail clerk, who declared that, not
outstanding this expenditure, the
railroads had not installed the appli-
ances and the galway mail clerks
were forced by the postmaster general
and his assistants to make untrue re-
ports that these devices had been in
stalled.
Waters said if congress would in
sure immunity TO the railway clerks
against official displeasure and the en-
forcement of the consecutive order
prohibiting government employees from
seeking aid from congress, he would
bring records and reports to prove
his charges.
The civil service committee took no
direct action on the charges, but il
Is intimated special committee will
be named to make an inquiry

GARY DENIES CHARGE
STEEL HEAD REFUTES LAWYER
BRANDEIS' ACCUSATIONS.

Are High.

New York. Jan. lin carefully
executive head of the United States
Steel corporation, defended that trust
from the spirited attack made upon
1t by Louis D. Brandeis, the Boston
lawyer and economist. in an address
at the Republican club in New York
Judge Gary warmly denies Mr..
Brandeis' charge that the steel cor
DOration is making slaves of its work
men and forcing them to work twelve
hours a day seven days in the week.
He declares the object has been TO
better the condition of the workers,
and that wages are now 20 percent
higher than when the corporation was
organized The statement is as fol
lows:
We do not resent criticism. On
by it when we believe 1t is deserved.
81 believe, taking everything into
account, the treatment accorded by
our corporation to its employees com
pares favorably with that of any line
Of industry in this country.
I'VE are paying % per cent. higher
wages than we were when the cor
pOration was organized, and we have
spent and are spending millions TO
prevent accidents in the works, to ina
prove the sanitary conditions, to fur
nish voluntary relief i3 case OF acct.
dent. regardless of legal liability, and
for pensions to superannuates.
I'VE have largely abandoned seven.
day work. and have to a large extent
eliminated twelve-hours-a -day work
1t is true there is considerable Of the
latter still in force but this is large
ly because the employees prefer twelve
hours-a-day work in order to receive
large compensation. We could, Of
course, reduce the hours of labor. but
wages would follow. Whether or not
we are paying as much as we ought
TO pay is a question always up for
consideration"
