SLOT MACHINES
WILL Be ORDERED
FROM ALL STORES
Councilman Woodcock Sc
cures Opinion From City
Attorney on What Consti-
tutes Gambling.

Slot machines Of all types and other
gambling devices of all kinds must
come down from the counters and
every form OF gambling in the city
must stop. is the word given out to-
day by Councilman Woodcock, who,
acting upon advice of written
opinion from the city attorney as 70
what constitutes gambling, proposes TO
enforce the law TO the letter
Since the stir over gambling In
Boise began, Councilman Woodcock
has been keeping in close touch with
conditions and In order to be perfectly
clear before issuing general orders.
MIR. Woodcock Yesterday secured an
opinion from the city attorney, which
is as follows:
Boise, Ida, Jan IS, 1913.
Hon Thomas F. Woodeock.
Supt. Department Public Safety.
City,
In compliance with your request as
to what constitutes gambling and 70
what extent the police officers are
justified and required by law to pro-
hibit certain games and devices, ] Will
say that In my Judgment the ordi-
nances Of Boise City, prohibit slot
machines and games in cigar stores
and saloons.
/ think under the ordinances of this
city game in saloon for checks
or drinks is gambling within the law
and this also applies to cigar stores
and other places where checks, credit
or any other representation of value is
given or received as the result of a
game.
A slot machine in my Judgment Is
a gambling device within the ordi-
nances of Boise City, and is just as
much prohibited as any other device
contrivance, or game in which there is
an element ar chance, in which one is
winner and the other loser.
Gambling IS commonly defined TO b'
contract between two or more per,
sons by which they agree TO play by
certain rules at cards, dice or othe1
contrivancc, and that one shall be tn
Lesser and the other winner and thi
contract does not have to be AN OK
press agreement, but may be Implies
by tie acts or conduct of either on
o, both of the parties.
Respectfully submitted,
CHARLES F. REDDOCH,
City Attorney.

COMPANY is INCORPORATED
TO PRODUCE POTASH IN u. S.

Considera BILE interest was aroused
in chemical circles by the report Of
the Incorporation of the American
Trona Corporation at Dover, Del. The
company was incorporated with an
authorized capital stock Of 81, 100000.
It's object is 20 manufacture potash,
borax and other chemicals from the
alkaf deposits at Searles Lake. in the
Mohave Desert. California. The i'm
preston prevailed that if the compa-
ny had discovered a successful proc
ess for the manufacture Of these
chemicals it would be Of material i'm
portance TO the agricultural interests
Of the country. All Of the potash used
here at the present time is imported
from Germany. where its manufacture
IS controlled by a syndicate.
tt is used extensively by fertilizer
manufacturers. II was said that #
competition with the German prodU~r
could be- furnished by an American

tiIizer would probably result II was
said also that several companies had
been previously organized to mani
raeinre potash here, but had been IN

LABOR FACTOR

Leather Manufacturers Find Pay

Other Expenses.

NEW YORK. June 21.--Of the ma

production as in the case Of the leath-
.er producers. particularly the tanners
Of sole leather. Central Leather, for
example, is one Of the fifteen or TWEEN
ty corporations whose annual gross
runs above $4,000 600 For the year

process Of tanning are the small end
of the expense factor.
The contrast between company

comparatively little labor is required

General Electric Is most impressive.
In order to produce 500 ISAIAH Of

the school teacher or the country
superintendent under whose direct
authority the clubs have been organ
lied, is self-evident Perhaps the
best arrangement yet devised for the
direction of the farm demonstration
agents is that which applies in Geor-
gia where the agents have headquar-
ters at the State College of Agricul-
ture and from which direction is Civ
en- in cooperative way by the Fed
eral as well as the State authorities
In the college also centers the corn
clubs and the girls clubs. From the
college also emanates the farmers in
stitutes. By thus co-ordinating and
cooperating the forces of agricul-
tural extension, the uovt can be ac-
complished for the money spent.
Some Important Prescriptions.
Some of the most important mes
sages which the farm demonstration
agents are now carrying out to the
farmers of the South, are deep plow-
ing in the fall and turning under
stalks rather than piling them up to
burn. They advise turning into the
soil all the vegetable matter possible
Thorough preparation of the seed bed
before planting is urged After plant
ing and even before the sprouting of
the grain, the demonstration agents
are keeping the crust broken to con-
serve the moisture in the ground As
soon after rain as il is possible to
get into the field ana work the ground.
they advise stirring the crust to break
up the capillary opening through
which the sun is sucking the mois-
ture.
They advise shallow and frequent
cultivation Of corn and cotton. This
means cultivators, weeders harroWs.
1t means doing the work four or five
times more quickly and better than
using the old time pillow.
To use machinery on the farm, it
is necessary to get stumps out of the
field and dynamiting stumps is stres-
sed, Growing legumeS such as cow
peas soy beans. velvet beans. clover,
alfalfa, vetCh and the like is proba-
bly, urged more than any other crop
because of their great value as soil
builders.
Live stock comes in for strong en-
phasis, not only for beef growing and
dairyin~ but for farm power, for pork
production, etc They advise a svs-
TEN of crop rotation that the farm
most needs.
They encourage fruit growing,
trucking. In fact, the demonstration
agent is supposed to agitate and en-
courage Improvement in agriculture
wherever there is need of it. 1t goes
without saying that there is work of
this kind to do anywhere one may
go in this country.

Case of Each Railroad Is
Judged on Its Own Merits
Many Have Narrow Margin Like Frisco, Yet Are
in Sound Condition.

Following the appointment of a re
ceiver for the st. Louis and San
Francisco, a decline of from to 3
points or more occurred in the stocks
of a number of railroads whose shares
were already selling at a low figure.
In the fresh OutburSt of selling that
followed this weeks Minnesota rate
decision il was inevitable that the
perpleXed financial mind should ask
whether the decline in the price of
a number of non dividend paying
railway shares was simply part of the
general liquidation that was taking
place or whether other less pleasant
differences should be drawn. To such
questions what answer should be
given?
It is now generally understood that
the Frisco was forced into the hands
of receivers because it had used up
its credit and was unable to meet
payment on $3.50 900 maturing notes.
1t would seem, therefore, that the
way to answer the question in mind
is to determine first if any of the
railroads whose shares have been
specially weak has, like the Frisco,
used up it's credit, and next, if any
of those companies will be called upon
in the near future to meet maturing
obligations.
When Frisco passed into the hands
of receivers, it was pointed out that
for the fiscal year 1912 the company
had earned a bare surplus of S177 900
over its STATEHOOD fixed charges. 1t
was pointed out further that the mar
gin Of safety for 1912, that is, the
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1913-06-22

percentage Of net income remaining
after payment of fixed charges. was
] per cent compared with 10 per cent
for 1911, Z per cent for 1910. per
cent for 1909, 4 per cent for 1908. and
that the ten-year average margin of
safety was ia per cent.
A railroad whose present margin
Of safety is at least 80 per cent Of
net income and whose average mar
gin of safety for the past ten years
runs as high as 80 per cent will ex-
perlence no difficulty in meeting all
maturing obligations. For example.
New York Ceutrals margin of safety.
Tor the past ten years figures out 20
per cent and during all of those
years that company has been paving
dividends of per cent or more on it's
entire capital stock When the mar
gin of safety runs under 10 per cent
hoWevev the case calls for close
study.
However it by no means follows
That railroad whose margin of safe
" runs below 10 per cent is a candi-
GATE for receivership Last year Mis-
souri, Pacific did not have any mar
