Mississippi Cotton Mills.

w di' A' oioy loo "ii1tOu
pamphlet on "The Mississippi
Cotton MILL" dealing with condi
tions generally SO far as these in
dustrial institutions are concerned,
and as the picture he draws is
reverse of what the public usually
suspects, the News prints few ex
tracts from it:
"The cotton mill in Mississippi
has not been the bane, but the
blessing of those who work there;
it does not grind the lives out of
helpless children, but lifts them
up, Frightening and broadening
their outlook on life; it does not
take hope away from men and
women, but nourishes it for full.
ler realization of the promises of
industry and thrift; it does not
devitaiize and dehumapize those
who toll, but strengthens and ell
evates them to higher plane of
living None of the debasement
that follows in the train of vice
aud immortality is found here; but
church, and school, and good
homes exercise their benevolent
influence for the maintenance of
morality and clean living among
men and women and children, the
social standard is high and rightly
maintained for the exclusion of all
who will not conform to it; the
school house is not onl y the corner
stone, but the social center and
from it radiate generous influences
for the nourishment of the best
ideals, intellectual and moral.
''These mill operatives are not
the hopeless, detected yoke wear
ing slaves that have been SO often
painted in pictures of southern
mill towns, for the nourishment of
prejudice against great industry,
but they are cheerful, self respect
ing, God-feariug Americans with
the same interest in life, with its
joys and SORROWS, it's hopes and
disappointments, its victories and |
defeats, that belong to you and me.

people do, and are seeking the best
for them; they are not submerged,
but live in Gods sunlight of hope,
and work, and pray, as normal hu.
man beings do all over the world.
1t is taken for granted that what
the right-thinking, right-feeling
public, which is not directly in.
terested in the manufacture of
cotton goods, vents to know is the
simple truth about labor condi-
tions in these mills; aud that is
what this writing is designed to
give. There is no pretense that
the cotton mill is organized out of
altruistic motives, as benevolent
institution for the uplifting of the
human race. 1t is simply a busi-
ness undertaking, conducted by
men who are as decent, Anmane,
self respecting and considerate of
others as their eigh bors in any
other business may be. But it is
denied that the cotton mill in the
south is the blaody Moloch that
has been SO persfstently described
and pictured in pamphlets, books
and magazines to quicken horror
of the institution.
''It is a cruel wrong to put
stigma of shame and ignominy
upon the men and women, and
boys and girls, who work in South
ern cotton mills, as is being done
by these misleading pictures,
throughout the country every day.
"Children are employed only in
the spinning room to watch the
spindles, and the work is neither
arduous, exacting or laborious; it
is the very lightest of tasks, and
better adopted to boys and girls
than to adults. Practically all
work is paid for by the piece, and
an active boy or girl can easily
earn more, at this employment,
than can their fathers or mothers.
"The earnings of all mill workers
are based entirely upon their skill
and ability, and many of these
boys and girls get better wages
than are paid to stenographers and

la aborious and exacting.
"Truth to say, there is no cotton
mill in Massachusetts where the.
employees, adult and child, are as
we'll paid, as we'll nourished, are
as well content or as happy as are

cotton mills visited, carefully in.

"These degrading pictures of
mill operatives, SO widely dissem-
mated, are not pictures of the mill
product at all; they are pictures of
new arrivals at the mills before
they have been enabled to discard
the aspects of adject poverty else

They find employment in the mill;

school; the wages earned by this
family leave a considerable margin
above the cost of living; the work
is not as arduous as that to which
they have been accustomed, the
hours of labor are shorter and the
working environment sanitary and
wholesome.

Expense

We believe the time has come
to call halt on needless public
litigation. Recent events and
causes before the distric. court
show that there has been great
deal OF needless litigation and
consequent expense on certain
criminal matters prosecuted by
the State. We think it would be
a good thing for our prosecuting
attorneys throughout the State
generally to consider criminal
complaints very carefully before
laying the county liable to great
expense, only to have the cases
thrown out of court on some
technicalty or because there is
nc real case against the accused
We advise that much expense
may be saved to the taxpaying
public. and great deal OF en-
barrassment saved our officers II
greater care is shown in our
criminal prosecutions.

Oakley Athletic
Association.

The Oakley Athletic Association
which has been in existance for
the past two seasons is now
preparing for this season and no
doubt in the very near future they
will have a match with their old
rivals of the Academy Basket
Ball team, as no doubt both OF
these teams are anxious to meet
and test their superiority again.
We wish them success and ask
that the public and members of
the Association will give it their
supportby attending their games
and roofing for the O.A.A.
The Association meets every
Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day evenings for practice in the
Anona Hall.

Lighting.

We learn that our town is to
have electric lights before long.
to illuminate our public streets.
We are told this is due to the
public-spiretedness ofseveral bus
mess and professional men OF
Oakley. Cluster street lamps
will be installed at several points
on Main ST. We feel to com
mend this action very highly. 1t
goes to show that these good
citezens of Oakley take a pride
in the City, and not only wish 1t
to put on good appearance bv
day, but that Oakley shall be
known to her sister municipali-
ties in Southern Idaho as a push
ing metropolitan center with
modern facilities and convent
ences.
With such citizens taking an
active interest in our civic prob
lens, we look for a great de-

Barber On
investigator
Trip

Mr.. 0. H. Barber, State Fish
and Came Warden of Idaho. is
here on an investigation trip to
see it conditions in Idaho cannot
be improved. Hecame here from
Boston where he attended the
meeting of the National Associa
ton of Fish and Game Commiss-
loners and the State Game War
dens.
After leaving here he will visit
some OF the noted hatcheries III
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin on
route home. He is very satisfied
with the results of his trip and
he believes his Investigations
will result in bertering conditions
in Idaho as. to both fish and
game.
He is particularly enquiring in
TO bass, pike and pickrel for
which there is quite a demand
among the sportmen in Idaho
tor stocking purposes. The Com
missioner of Fisheries is opposed
to the introduction OF any of
these species into Idaho, con-
tending that they will driye out
the native trout which is in
every way better fish than
those above mentioned.
Wisconsin has all these varities
and it is for this reason that Mr..
Barber has decided to pay visit
to that State.

Only Part of the Story.
But even this does not tell all
the story. The legislature, ow-
ing to the growth of our insti-
tutions, and the increased cost
of maintenance. found it necess-
arv to considerably increase the
appropriations therefor. 1t is
presumed that these increased
appropriations were all approx
ed by the critics of legislature.
because at the time they severely
criticised that body, or more
particularly the senate, for de-
feating bond issues involving
many thousands of dollars for
enlargements at these lpstirut-
ions.
For the capitol building and
grounds and tor the penal and
charitable institutions, the leg
istature appropriated $S5 900
more for the biennial period than
was appropriated in 1911. Sim

cational institutions S177, ,O4S. 20

that the board of equalization
was forced to provide in 1913 for

ADMINISTRATION STRIKES
BACK AT CRITICS
Governor Haines Issues Statement In Defense
of Present State Levy
WHY TAXES ARE HIGHER
Legislature Made Larger Appropriations for Things
Demanded by the People

DO1s0ROOO ~
Governor Haines does not in
tend to sit still and permit ad.
verse critics to change his ad-
ministration with extravaganza;
with being false to it's professions
of economy and retrenchment.
From the beinning the governor
has prided himself on bringing
the business of the state to
better business standard; to the
establishment of system and
better management in every de-
partment of the state govern
ment.
In an "Open Statement to the
People of Idaho on the State
Tax Lew" issued on Friday,
Governor Haines submits facts
and figures that will be of in
terest to every taxpayer in the
state. In this signed statement
he says:
Why Statement Is Made.
"The announcement by the
board of equalization OF the state
levy and the amount which will
have to be raised this year by
direct taxation from the various
counties, has been made the oc-
casion by the opposition news
papers for a declaration that the
present administration has failed
to redeem its promises IN the
matter of giving the people an
economical. business administra-
ton of state affairs.
1t ispointed out that the board
OF EQUALIZATION is raising through
direct taxation $24, ,238.73 more
this year than was similarly
raised in 1912, and an attempt
is being made to use this fact
as proof OF extravaganza and
breach of faith on the part of
the state officers.
People Should Have the Facts
1T is my belief that the people
should be fully informed on this
matter so that they may know
the exact status of the question
and be able to decide for them
selves whether or not the state
government has been economical
and business like in it's operat-
ions. 1t is true that direct taxes
have been increased bv the am
cunt named, but it is also true
that those who have attempted
to make capital out of this fact
have not been fair enough TO
give the reasons for this increase
or the facts from which the rea-
sons might be deduced.
1T is a we'll known fact that
the last legislature considerably
extended the operations of the
state government and that the
board OF equalizatio was forced
to provide for meeting many ex-
penses which heretofore have not
been charge against the state.
What Legislators Did.
For instance, the legislature.
at the peoples wish it must be
presumed, created a public util
tiles and tax commission for
whose expenses during the cur
rent year we were forced to pro-
vide $4,000 not previously re-
quired. 1t also created a state
board of education, for which
we have had to provide 10000
for current expenses. 1t appro-
$500 to pay for a silver
service tor the battleship Idaho,
an obligation coming from the
previous administration, and |
100000 for the expenses of a
state exhibit at the Panama
