American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1918-08-09

When Baird filed his case against
the commissioners he called into oues-
ton their honor and sincerity alone
with challenging the legality of their
acts. This is the thing that caused
the withdrawal of Mr.. Jones from Tho
Press. The writer had some informa-
ton that Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Baird did
not have. That information was first
hand, and related to the contract he
tween the highway commissioners and
the county for the building of the
county's part of the Bannock vallav
road. That information was a positive
defense of the highway board and the
county commissioners against every
charge of insincerity or wrong intent
and for everything charged by Baird
in his complaint, except Irregularities
in the making of the. contract. The
writer had the option of keeping ST.
lence and leaving w. S. Sparks. M. F
Walker and c. F Eggers under sus-
picion of insincerity and wrongintent
or to defend them. Only one course
was open to an honest man, and that
course was to defend the board against
the implication of willful wrong in
gill III Ata " IBldIlODH
over the policy of the Press, and with
in a few weeks Mr.. Jones was paid
1000 for his interest and retired. q
the trial of the appeals filed by Baird
the court sustained every contention
the Press made in behalf of the com
~missioners, the decision commending
the board for its apparent desire to
do the right thing. Because the writ
er took the position he did in this mat
ter, the only position an honest man
who was in possession of facts con-
troverting the charges against the
commissioners sincerity and honesty
of purpose could take, Mr.. Baird got
a wrong impression which he is still
laboring under. The Press is not for
Baum and against Baird. 1t is for
Baum when he is right and for Baird
when he is right. Every tub must
stand on its own bottom. And if Mr..
Baird is ever made the victim OF
charges that fade away like mist be
fore a summer sun when they are
forced out into the open, he will find
a defender in the Press. and one that
will cost him nothing.
The Press is against character as
s%assination. whoever the victim may
be.
Criticism is all right, but character
assassination never is.
There is but one remedy for it, and
that is public disapproval. Ask the
next person you hear questioning the
good purposes of anyone if he is will
ling to have his statement repeated and
credited to him. If not, ask him if he
is a rumor factory, or merely a stOoi
pigeon for one who is.

searched several times during the
time the file was discovered to be mis-
sing. Part OF the contents Of the file
were gone.

PLANNING TO OBSERVE
TAG YOUR SHOVEL"
DAY HERE JAN. Doth
NATIONAL FUEL ADMINISTRATION
WILL COOPERATE IN MOVE.
MENT TO SAVE A SHOVELFUL
A DAY."

Americas residents are to be asked
to observe National Tag Your-Shovel
Day" The occasion is to be celebrat-
ed January Both, and school children
are slated to take the lead in the
movement, under guidance of the fuel
administration of school authorities
Lee Allen, fuel administrator for
Americas, has received suggestions
from the state fuel administration au-
thorities regarding observance of the
day, and heartily approves the plan.
The following letter from DR.. L. G..
Hartman, state fuel administering, to
Mr.. Allen, tells in 'detail of the plan
of celebration;
Commerce, Ca, Jan. 14th, 1918.
To City committeeman and County
Chairmen:
The conservation division of the fuel
administration has set January 9th,
1918, as national Tag Your Shovel
Day"
We are sending you 5000 tags. These
tags are to be tied to the shovels in
each home by the school children. Eff
fective publicity might be secured in
the various cities by having the mayors
and other prominent men content to
have their shovels publicly tagged, the
public tagging to take place on the
31st, the day following the general tag
ging, and the tagging to be done by
the boy or girl tagging the greatest
number of shovels on the Both.
You are requested to turn these tags
over to the superintendent of the
public schools, who will in turn dis
tribute them to the various schools in
the community.
The date of tag day has already
been announced, and il is hoped thai
county chairmen and city committee.
men will do what they can to make it q
success.
The imperative need for such an
endeavor lies in the fact that in spite
of the utmost effort there is still a
shortage of 50,0OO,OOo tons of coal
which must be made up in every way
possible. The saving of a shovelful of
coal by domestic consumers every
where will aid materially, and it is to
impress this fact upon the minds of
the people that the fuel administration
has adopted the tag day method Yours
very truly L. G. HARDMAN,
Federal Fuel Administrator for Ga.
