JEFFRIEs HOLDS OVER
No Vacancy, and Commissioners Can
Not Create One, Is Opinion of Coun-
ty Attorney.

When the board OF commissioners
met last week an opinion was render
ed by County Attorney Baird. who was
fortified by opinions from former At
torney General Peterson and from At
torney General Walters, that there
was no vacancy in the office Of sher-
iff.
Since the death Of w. A. West. who
was elected sheriff over Mr.. Jeffries
by small majority, there has been
much interest in the matter of a sue
cessor for him. and considerable work
was done in the interest of two can
didates for the position. At that time
Sheriff Jeffries employed a Pocatello
attorney to represent his interests, and
quite a little feeling developed al
times over the matter. Sheriff JEFF
fries declined to listen to ali sugges-
tions that he could create a vacancy,
standing on his legal rights, contend
ing that more votes were cast for
him than could be secured to any pc
tition for any other person for the
position. The opinion of County At
torney Baird will be found in the com
missioners proceeding published else
where.

LABOR TWELVE HOURS.

We do not know whether goodness
of heart or threat of an uprising was
responsible for the change, but a new
ftcaory law has been put into effect in
Japan and twelve hours a day is the
maximum number of working hours
for laborers. Before the law went into
effect there was no limit to the amount
OF work the employer could exact from
the employee, and the twelve-hour
maximum is regarded as a long step
in advance by those whose business il
is to watch labor conditions through
out the world Under the new law
women and girls will have a better
chance to exist without sacrificing all
that is dear to them The chief of
the bureau of commerce and industry
in the department of agriculture sums
up the advantages of the new Japanese
factory law as follows:
The application of this new fac
tory law might be termed a primary
step toward solving the question Of
female employment. affording better
treatment of laborers. and providing
for them a means of improving their
moral surroundings and physical con-
ditions. Roughly speaking the indus
/ tries of Japan are constituted largely
of fiber industries that is. the major
ity of the factories are engaged in
making or supplying materials for
clothes, such as cotton-yarn factories,
spinning mills, and companies of a
similar nature which necessitate juve-
nile labor. In large factories alone
in Japan there are 500 900 work girls
employed, and if those in the smaller
factories were included the figures
would reach about 100000 The new
factory law is expected to lead to
great improvement in labor condi-
tions
But there is another side to the
question in which the American peo-
pie are interested to a considerable
extent With the japanese factory
hands working twelve hours a day at
exceedingly small wages American
manufacturing concerns in the same
lines of business will be unable to
compete with the orientals in the mar
kets of the world or even in our home
market unless fully protected by the
tariff No other conclusion can be
reached regarding the situation and
We shall feel the competition more
keenly after the European war-Salt

FREE JOBS FOR ALL ON
THE COUNTY ROCK PILE
Sheriff Jeffries Preparing to Start an
Employment Agency With Free
Board and Plenty of Exercise.

A short time since the county OF
Power and the village of American
Fails decided to give employment to
the unfortunate. The unfortunate in
this case is to be construed as those
who violate the laws of the land and
get caught at it, They decided to es-
tablish a rock pile. No doubt they
were moved to do so knowing that
close confinement in small quarters
is injurious. They were led to be-
lieve that vigorous exercise, like
swinging a ten pound hammer against
hundred pound stone. was neces- airy
for the well being of the county and
village boarders, and as a result OF
this belief a rock pile is already ap-
pearing in front of the sheriffs office,
and soon there promises to be some
thing doing.
Sheriff Jeffries. who insists that
he is in a position TO know, says there
will be no eating without some work
ing, and that there will be no favori-
tism shown except to bootleggers who,
on account of their flabby muscles.
ought to have the biggest hammers.
Union hours of labor will not be en-
forced, so that il any want to get in
any overtime they will be Accommodated.
The rock pile, it is predicted, will
make the county Jail unpopular as a
place of residence. II is hoped that
such will prove true, at least, because
with the present high cost of living
prices, the hotel is running at a loss.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.

Governor Alexander's message to
the legislature presents several inter
esting aspects. Starting of with a
panegyric of the Democratic party. he
admonishes the lawmakers to com
pIete their labors within forty days
and then maps out for them a legisla-
tive program that would keep them at
Boise for six months if they gave care
full consideration to all of his rec
concentrations However, in the in
terest of safe and sane government
and the general public welfare, it is
hoped that some of his legislative pro-
pOsals will go into the discard We
have special reference to the initiative.
referendum and recall and the elimin-
alton of party tickets from election
ballots The direct legislation" fad
has about run its course in other
states. where it has been tried and
found to be an illusion. 1t has prov
ed to be a most expensive and unsat-
isfactory experiment. keeping the peo-
pie in a constant turmoil adding
greatly to the expense of government
and accomplishing no beneficial re-
suits. Deliver Idaho from the chronic
sgitator and the professional reform
er. Cut out the freak legislation
Some of the governors recommen-
dations concerning Carey act legisa-
ton might justify criticism. but in
asmuch as this legislation would only
affect future enterprises, and no new
Carey act project is likely to be
launched within the present gepera-
ton. the subject hardly merits con-
sideration
The consolidation of various state
boards and the adoption of a uniform
system of county accounting should
receive favorable consideration.
One objectionable omission by the
governor was his failure to advise the
legislature concerning fat bills and
lean" bills. AS he stated during the
late campaign, he does not read any
Of the bills passed by the legislature.
Ii they are fat" bills he vetoes them
and if they are lean" bills he ap-
proves them. 1t would have been no
more fair for him to have defined
fat" and lean" in his message, so
the legislators might conform to his
specifications and make all the bills
lean" enough to get by. His excel
lency will make a most serious mis-
take il he now changes his methods
and considers any bill on its merits
BY their votes the people declared that
man who would veto bills because
they we're sfat" and approve them be-
cause they were lean" without read
ing any Of them. was just the kind OF
man they wanted for governor. and

THRIFT DAY-FEBRUARY 3.
A day to be observed. Why not?

Now that the Thrift Campaign inaugurated by
The Evening World and the American Bankers
socaton is fairly under way a suggestion comes
from Philadelphia that day be chosen to be celebra
ed as Thrift Day.
No bell ringing, banqueting, carousing or squan-
dering of good dollars on expensive festivities. On
the contrary Thrift Day is to be celebrated by each
individual with the performance of at least thrift
ty act
Men, women and children all over the country can
join in that kind of celebration and be the better off
for it. There plenty of holidays that invite
idleness and the spending of money on good times
This day is not holiday in that sense. 1t is day
not for spending but for saving:
A day for starting savings bank account
day for getting angle on the family
budget
A day for stopping tiny leaks that drain the
pocket.
A day for planning new system of mar
keting and keeping the kitchen accounts.
day for adjusting expenditure more ac-
curately to income.
Thrift is saving and something 1t is get
ting value out of every dollar-fair return from
every direction for money earned and spent.
Many well-to-do families with good incomes are
too easy going to worry about minor household
penses They think there is something small in
scrutinizing too closely the monthly grocers bill
They are wrong. Indifference and waste are the
real things to be ashmed of Any fool throw
away money if he has it. The wise man. whether he
has much or little, takes his household wastes
not. Though he be generous in thousands yet is he
prudent in pennies.
Plan ahead for Thrift Day-the day from which to
date some habit that shall prove lifelong help
