PRESIDENT
TO CALL RESERVES
House Adopts Kahn Amendment
to Hay Army Reorganization
Bill.

An amendment to the Hay army re-
organization bill. giving the President
n free hand to call out regular army
reserves in case of war or threatened
hostilities, was adopted by the House
today.
Its effect would be to increase the army
by 10000 at stroke OF the Presidents
pen without awaiting action by Con-
gross.
The amendment giving the President
carte blanche power to call out the reg
ular reserves was the most important
change yet made In the House bill. II
was offered by Kahn OF California. and
accepted by Chairman HAY and the
House without debate. Under the
amendment the 10000 reserves to be
created In four year by the Hay bill
would be subject TO instant call in time
OF danger.
Expect Passage Friday.
Although the House rushed through
the army bill. hope OF passing It today
be Friday before the final vote is
reached.
Radical preparedness advocates cen
tered their fire on shortening the enlist
ment period In the regular army. The
militia liberalization fight may not be
reached before Thursday.
Mr. Kahn offered another amendment
today to- create more reserves for the
regular army by permitting discre-
tionary one-year enlistment service.
Many members scored tho present long
term and small pay enlistments. kahn's
proposed amendment would allow men
to leave the army after one or two years
and remain In reserve for the rest Of the
seven-year enlistment period.
There are two reasons why we don't
get more ehlistments:" said Mr.. Gard:
ner. "Ore Is, we don't pay enough. and
the other Is the long enlistment period.
Only $50 men have enlisted SO far under
the 5000 urgent increase authority we
granted last week."
and tie themselves UP for three or four
years" what the country needs Is re-

call in time Of war;" said Mr.. Kahn.

REPORT IS GIVEN
TOTHF GOVERNOR
ON CONVICT LABOR
Working of Prisoners on the
Shoshone Falls Grade
Cost the State $1.50 Per
Man.

Does free" convict labor engaged in
road work pay in Idaho?
This is the question state officials
are now engaged in figuring out as a
result of report demanded by Gov
of work done by convict labor on the
, Shoshone Falls grade
This report shows that this labor
cost the state of Idaho an average Of
$3.50 per day per prisoner, not count
ing the cost Of superintendent. con-
struction equipment, team hire. camp
equipment such as lumber tents, tools,
stoves, cooking utensils, blankets, soap.
toweling. etc.
The prisoners were worked eight
hours a day. The going wages for like
labor ranges from Is to 30 cents an
hour. or about 81 per day Of eight
hours, without board, clothing, or other
sustenance expense. SO that, taking
into consideration the we'll known fact
that convict labor is not nearly so eff
cient or productive as employed labor,
the state officials are seriously wonder
ing whether it has paid to shut out
labor in the state seeking employment
in order to give the work to convict
labor.
The report was made to Governor
Alexander by S. }. Hindman. Of the
state highway engineers office, upon
the governors demand for such a re
port after examining the bills present
. ed to cover tho cost Of this free"
labor. The size of the bills led the gov
ernor to believe that the labor was
costing the state an excessive amount
