MAYOR jim WOULD
MAKE EMPLOYEES
WORK FOR SALARIES

Atlanta, Nov 12.-"Bow! Wow!" and
likewise "Grrrrr!" said the watchdog
of Atlanta's treasury this morning.
Accompanying the remarks was \
showing of teeth and paving of the
earth and following them there was
extreme sadness among certain minor
city employees, including the policemen.
The watchdog is Uncle i'm Wood
ward, who also enjoys the title OF
mayor. He as proud of one as the
other, and lives up to both.
The thing that is making his hair
stand ON an end and causing him 10
bark and growl at the present moment
is the effort Of city council to increase
the pay of the city attorney $50 a
month to increase the pay Of the city
policemen somewhat, and by various
other increases to add several thous-
and dollars to the city's salary list.
Uncle Jim is revolutionary. He has
made a suggestion never heard of be-
fore in any municipality or any other
organization in which. men are elected
or appointed for political reasons. He
is actually SO revolutionary that some
people think his ideas border on an
archy, for he proposes, mirable dictu,
that the salaries of city employees shall
be proportionate to the amount Of
work they do!
If such plan were carried out 1t
would probably mean some big changes
in the salary list, for it is Mr. Wood
wards strange idea that a city gov
ernment ought to be run like a big
business organization in which every
employe actually shall earn the money
which is paid him.
q think it is manifestly unjust tn 1t
some employees should receive only SIS
for certain work, while others receive
four or FIVE times as much for the
same grade OF work. Mayor Wood
ward is quoted as saying today.
Where he got such queer ideas no.

IN JAIL FOR ARSON
STATE FIRE MARSHALL CAUSES
ARREST OF THREE SUSPECTS
~ CRANDALL ARSON CASE.
HAPP ENINGS OVER
What is Going on Here and There
That Is Of interest to the Read
ers Throughout South Da-
kota and Vicinity.

Webster.-After a hearing before
Justice Hotter here, Peter and Henry
Roseth and William Wareham. all OF
Crandall. were held to the next term
OF circuit court under bonds of $1,000,
on a charge of arson.
On the night Of July 3, the building
occupied by the Roseths, who conduct
ed a general store at Crandall, caught
fire, but the blaze was ex~tinguished.
On he night of July Z, while State
Fire Marshal A. X. Stablein was in
Crandall investigating the first fire.
which was apparently of ~incendiary
origin, a second fire broke out in the
Roseth store. which destroyed the
stock of goods and the building in
which it was located, with three other
business houses, wiping out the prin-
cipal portion Of the business part Of
town. and causing a loss of 100000.
After investigation, the state fire
marshal caused to be issued John Doe
s~ubpoenas for a number of persons,
and the hearing was held before JUS
tice Hotter at Webster. Sixteen wit
nesses We're examined, and at the con-
clusion Of the hearing warrants were
issued for the Roseths and Wareham.
They did not furnish bail and were
lodged in the Day county Jail. The ev-
idence disclosed the fact hat the
stock of goods carried by the Roseths
was valued at about $4,000. but that
they had taken out insurance on the
stock aggregating Sc, 100. 1t was also
brought out that at the time Of the fire
on July 3, the Roseth brothers, who
We're in the store, displayed great re-
luctance to let in the men who, at
tracted by the smoke from the store,
had FASTENED to the scene to aid in
putting out the fire. When the fire
fighters were finally admitted, a huge
pile of rubbish was found to be on
fire in the cellar of the store. Will
lam Wareham, who was held for trial
also, had been employed in the store
by the Roseths.
The arrest of the Roseths and Ware
ham is largely due to the determined
efforts Of the state fire marshal, who
has been untiring in his efforts to run
the incendiaries to earth. and who is
said to have secured ample evidence
to bring about the conviction Of the
prisoners. when the case comes up In
circuit court.

Line, generally known as the Luce

shall from the main line at Thorpe,

line will be extended to Brookings il
arrangements now being made here

out railroad facilities, either steam
or electric. There is a rumor that IL
is the plan of the company to ultf-
mately extend the Bookings line
southwark through Sioux Falls and.
Sioux City to Omaha. Such q line
appears entirely feasible, as it would
mean almost a straight line from
B%rookings to Omaha. Representatives
