MAKING GOOD JOBS.

The great American fad of creating
government commissions for almost
every sort of purpose is largely re-
sBonsible for our heavy expenses for
government. Only the other day the
legislature of Illinois created a com
mission of nine members to investi
gate the question Of unemployment in
that state. The members will be
paid $40 per day each and will have
such additional assistance as may be
desired and an unlimited expense ac-
count. The commission will cost the
taxpayers Of the state $20G to $500
Per day besides the printing of long
and involved reports that will be filed
away and never read.
We have had commissions without
number in the United States to in
yestigate every conceivable subject.
Ii would not do to say that none of
them had done any good, but it will
not be denied that the cost has been
altogether out of proportion to any
good that has been achieved. The
commissions make good places for
Tame ducks" and for handy political
henchmen and the taxpayers pay the
bill but there are very few occasions
when the facts ascertained at so
much expense could not be obtained
with very little, if any, cost.
We provide system of county or
state or municipal government with
q full complement Of officers and
then we appoint a commission to de-
side whether or not these officers
have done what was expected Of
them and then another commission
IL selected to ascertain whether the
first commission reported the facts
correctly. Having confidence that
the second commission found the
facts properly we then secure an
other commission at so much per to
determine whether or not the Sec
und board drew the proper conclu-
,sens from the facts as adduced and
% on.
We are coming more and more
to the board and commission system
in Tennessee. No man, at the rate
We have been going, will be permit /
ted in few years to hoe corn with I
out having received from some well
paid board a certificate that he has
passed a certain examination. We
will then have commission to as
certain why there are no more COM
missions.

The PRESIDENTS SPEECH.

In his admirable address to the
| Daughters of the Revolution, Presi
dent Wilson has left nothing unsafe
that true, patriotic American would
| feel and say. America first" was
the burden of the chief magistrate
remarks. Loyalty to the principles
to the institutions, to the soul OF
America is the plea that was elo.
quently made. 1t is one about which,
among true Americans, there should
be no difference of opinion We have
too many different kinds of American
patriots when true patriotism consists
in first devotion to the ideals and In
stitutions Of America.
The President forcefully says: "Ev-
cry political action, every social &C
ton, should have for it's object in
America at this time to challenge the
spirit of America, to ask that every
man and woman who thinks Fl
America should rally to the standards
Of life. There have been some among
us who have not thought first of
America, who have sought to use the
might of America In some matter not
of Americas originative, and they
have forgotten that the first duty of
nation is to express ito principles
the action OF the family of nations
and not to seek to aid and abet any
rival or contrary ideal America has
a great cause which is not confined
to the American continent It is the
cause of humanity ITSELF"
These are the words of true pa
triot, of one who is Fundamentally
an American, first, last and all tn
time, of one whose highest devotion
and every impulse comes from the Dr.
sire to see America first in the paths
of righteousness, justice and virtue.
They are not the empty words of one
whose deeds have not been consist
ent Herewith, for President Wilson
has sought in all these troubulous
times to make these words the guide
and the inspiration for Americas
part in world affairs. May the Lord
be praised that we have as President
the man who can consistently and
sincerely utter these words of wis
dom and of patriotism.

APPROVING OUR COURSE.

Resolutions were unanimously
adopted by the Tennessee annual con-
ference of the Methodist church a
few days ago rejoicing that all politi-
cal parties in Tennessee were now
committed to prohibition and that it
had come to be an established policy
of the state. That is very gratifying.
Surely no one, not even the most
"pizen" advocate of Hooper, would
claim that the liquor interests control
the Tennessee Methodist conference.
and yet when The Herald, just one
year ago, said the same thing. it was
charged with being an ally of the
liquor interests, and some converts

Herald out of the prohibition ranks
where it had been almost from the
time whereof the memory of man
runneth not to the contrary. Perhaps
a majority of the Tennessee confer
ence, who voted for the above reso-
luton, voted year ago for Hooper
But they are manly enough to con-
cede that The Herald was right in its
position in 1914.
The Herald advocated prohibition,
never as a partisan issue, but for the
good of the state, the welfare OF it's
young men and the benefit Of its
girls 1t realized that so long as pro-
hibition remained a partisan issue, the
line Of division between democracy
and republicanism, it could never be-
come the settled, fixed and permanent
policy of the state 1t therefore urg-
ed upon both the democratic and re-
publican parties that they be commit
ted to the cause. Having succeeded,
1t supported the democratic party be-
cause 1t believed then, what it knows
now, that the democratic party could
render better and more efficient SER
vice in the execution of the law than
could possibly be rendered by the re-
publican party. A majority of the
people Of Tennessee fortunately felt
the same way. 1t would have been
a calamity to the prohibition cause
had Rye and democracy been defeat
ed last fall. Their election settled
and settled right and for all time a
very vexatious issue that had long
disturbed the politics of the state.

Japan have come in where split bam-
boo was the only Japanese basket ware
on sale before the war. Prices of
American willows, 1t is said, have in
creased on account or the shortage OF
imported osiers. and growers here are
meeting heavy demand.
The willowware industry in America
is centered in New York. Boston and
Rochester. Small concerns are located
sale supply comes from these three
cities. The extension of the industry
is limited not so much by the lack Of
raw material as by the scarcity of the
right class Of labor. Up to a few
months ago manufacturers used far
more imported than American willows,
because the imported rods are better
assorted and easier to obtain in the
desirable small sizes. The ayerag ge
American grower seems not to appre-
ciate the value Of small stock, which
is more difficult to peel and therefore
more expensive to produce. The Amer
lean grown willow is regarded favora-
bly, by furniture makers and could cas-
lily be made to meet all requirements
by greater care in growing and in pre-
pairing the rods for market
Basket willows are not grown com
mercially In this country over nearly
SO great range as possible. The re
suits of the department of agriculture's g
distribution of willow cuttings have
shown that willows can be grown prac-
tlcally In all parts of the country, ex-
cept in the arid and semiarid regions,
the high attitudes and portions Of the
south
The growing Of willow, however, re-
quires much labor. which must be Oh
tanned at low cost and is rather diff
cult to get Although prices Of will
lows are high at present. primarily be-
cause or the decrease In exports, 1t Is.
of course, impossible to say how long
these prices will rule. Nevertheless
there Is an increase in popularity Of
willow furniture. which at present Is
another factor In high prices
To date nearly 2.0Oo0OO willow cut
tings have been distributed free by the
forest service among state experiment
stations. forest schools and individual
growers. The value Of willow culture
as profitable means of utilizing over
fow lands not suitable for other crops
has been demonstrated. and the de-
partment of agriculture maintains q
small willow holt on the government
farm at Arlington, Va. for further
tests and for the continued production
OF cuttings for free distribution.

 NEW CANNERY AT MESA

With the arrival or carload of the new sanitary cans, and the ma chinery which is to be used in set ting the tops, work will be resumed at the Salt River valley cannery to- day With the receipt of the pres ent consignment of cans there is sufficient material for a general cleaning up of this years tomato harvest.
 The canning of the peach crop will also commence today While there will ba a good representation this year of the line of the cannery's s products. it is expected that with the coming into bearing next year of several new orchards the output of canned peaches as well as that of other fruits will be considerably larger.
 No difficulty was encountered in disposing of this seasons production, in fact had the output been consid- erably larger there would have been a market for it.
 While a few weeks ago the insti- tuition was an experiment. the man agement are now well satisfied with
 nat has been accomplished and there is no doubt but that the can nery can be enumerated with other of the valleys permanent assets.
