Average Net Farm Income

N farm Journals, has recently completed an
agricultural census along lines similar to those
employed by the agricultural department at
Washington 4.
The conclusions arrived at are that the average
mainland dairy farm comprises about l6 acres.
The average capitalization where the best use IS
made of farm OF that size was found to be about
$4,000 The average net income was found to
be only six and one half per cent on capital in
yestment Statistics obtained from something

culation. .", .'a>
The results of such Investigations into the busi-
ness Of farming emphasize the point that agrieul-
ture as life trade differs very little from any
other established profession or occupation II, as
lere in Hawaii, the average OF wealth per capita
is low, the corporate form Of association must
necessarily be the most economical to operate and
renee the most profitable to the entire population.

into landowners, if they were imbued with the
idea of making this their permanent home, do
not in the main have that ambition, capital for

| Unless farmer in Hawaii has at least the
average capital of the average mainland farmer
in lands, stock, machinery and equipment, and
cash in bank for operation expenses, and has in
addition the ambition, knowledge, temperament

reasonably expect to secure a return, or net in

THE TRANSPORTATION OF
DELINQUENT CHILDREN
COUNTY CHARGE

A little while ago Judge Frank E.
Meek, after some investigation OF
the laws made and provided, decided
that the state of Idaho should pay the
expenses of transporting delinquent
children to the state reform school.
In conformity with this decision he
filed claims against the state for ex-
penses incurred for the purpose of
bringing the matter squarely to the
attention of the state board of
claims.
The state board asked Attorney
General Peterson for an opinion
which, unfortunately, does not agree
with the opinion of Judge Meek.
Opinion of Peterson.
The opinion of Attorney General
Peterson was written December Z.
1t is in substance as follows: Sec
ton 825 of the revised codes of Ida
no, dealing with the industrial school,
provides:
"The expense of conveying said boy
or girl to said institution shall be
paid as in the case of convicts con-
veyed to the penitentiary of the state
of Idaho"
This section Immediately follows a
section which provides the grounds
for commitment, namely, that the
child so committed shall have been
found guilty of any felony, except
murder and manslaughter.
"Section 161 of the school code de-
fines juvenile disorderly person,
and section l62 provides for the con-
veyance of such juvenile disorderly
person 10 the state industrial school,
after commitment by the probate
court, and also provides that the ex-
pense of transportation of the child
to the juvenile reformatory shall be
paid by the county from which the
child is committed.
Not Against State.
From the foregoing statutes, it is
the opinion of this office that any
child committed to the Idaho Indus
trial school, either as a juvenile dis,
ORDERLY person or as a delinquent
child, does not come within the terms
of section 1923, revised codes, and
therefore the cost of conveying sucf
child to the Idaho Industrial schoo
is a proper charge against the coun
ty and not against the state.
Where State Pays.
Insofar, however, as children com
mitted to the Idaho Industrial schoo
for the commission of felony, no
amounting to murder or manslaugh
ter, is concerned, the statutes pro
vide for the payment of cost of con
veyance by the state. 1t becomes i'm
portant, therefore, to determine
whether the legislature has made pro
vision for the payment of these ex
'penses."

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES AND
THE SCHOOLROOM

Whenever large numbers of child
rem come together, there is always
an increase in the number of cases
of contagious disease. This is espe-
cially true when the thousands of
boys and girls areturn to school after
the summer vacation.
Thousands of children die each
year from the contagious diseases,
Besides countless children are sick
with them.
All mothers know that such illness
can often be prevented. All teach
ers know that contagious diseases can
often be prevented. Mothers and
teachers should therefore do all in
their power to prevent the spread OF
these diseases.
AS soon as your child shows any
signs of illness, such as fever, rash,
coughing, vomiting or sore throat,
sneezing and watering of the eyes, do
not send him to school. Keep him
home that morning. Send for the
doctor to make sure that your child
is not suffering from any one of the
contagious diseases. Who knows
but that the persistent coughing
sneezing and watering of the eyes
may be the first signs of an attack OF
measles? The Group cough and sore
throat may be the beginning of diph'
iberia, or the vomiting and rash may
be the signs of scarlet fever.
Take no chances. By sending your
child to school when he shows sucl
signs of illness you not only place
your own child's life in danger, bu
you also endanger the life and healtl
of hundreds of other children VIVA
should you think of the mother wht
would send her child. sick with scar
let fever, to the very classroom whicl
your child attends? What shoul,
you think of that mother if your chill
should get the disease and die of it
Do not send your child to schoo
when he shows any signs of illness.

JONES PLANS RELIEF
FOR WESTERN ENTRYMEN
Did Not Know They Were Required
to File Acceptance for Extension

There are some entrymen in the
west who did not receive notice that
they should elect to accept the terms
of the reclamation extension act of
August Is. 1914, Which extended the
time for making payment under the
reclamation act until after the time
provided in the act had expired. The
matter was called to the attention Of
Senator Jones of Washington, and
after arriving here and calling at the
Office of the reclamation department,
he found that this condition was so
general and such a large number OF
people affected that some legislation
was necessary to protect their in
terests.

SENATOR JONES WILL
DO WHAT He GAN
FOR SETTLERS

Unless congress comes to the front
this winter and provides some man
ner for raising more revenue for the
construction of irrigation works in
the west, new development will be eff
fectually stopped, so far as govern
ment work, and there is little prospect
that new private projects can be fin
anced because of the disrepute into
which irrigation securities have fallen.
Secretary Lane has stated repeatedly
that he can not recommend the I'M
dertaking of any new projects unless
some method is devised whereby adj
ditional funds can be made available.
In the absence of such revenue he
feels constrained to apply all the
money in the reclamation fund for
the next few years toward complet-
ing projects that are now in course
of construction.
Jones Presents Plan.
Senator Jones of Washington, who
is thoroughly familiar with the situa-
ton, believes it will be impossible this
session to pass through congress bill
authorizing a loan of money out of
the federal treasury to the reclama-
ton fund, but he has worked out an
other plan of financing irrigation and
drainage projects and embodied his
ideas into a bill which he recently in
troduced. Under the terms of this
bill, where the land owners of any
particular section organize an irriga-
ton or drainage district under state
law for the purpose of retaining
their lands, they may issue bonds to
raise revenue to construct the neces-

government will guarantee the inter-
est on these bonds. The United
States, however, will only stand back
of such bonds after the secretary of
the interior has investigated the pro-
ject, approved the plans, and satisfied
himself that the undertaking is feas-
IDLE.
Bonds so issued may run for not to
exceed 40 years and the interest guar
anteed by the government shall not
exceed per cent per annum. The
United States is given lien on the
lands of the district to, safeguard it
self in event it is called upon to pay
this plan.
Capital is Timid.
There are many large irrigation

ment," said Senator Jones, at the
time he introduced his bill. Private
capital will not invest in private pro
ljects, because of the disrepute in which
irrigation bonds are now held, anC
also because of inherent difficulties
about carrying on successfully large
irrigation enterprise Furthermore
the present state of the nationa
finances renders it out of the ques
ton for congress to appropriate an,
money directly for the development
of these projects.
"The plan propose would insur
