City Council Will
Receive Bids For
New Water system

Aberdeen is to erect an addition to
its school building. Plans and speci.
fications can be obtained from Frank
Paradise, the architect of Pocatello
The bids will be opened April II.
The city council of Blackfoot will
open bids for building the water
works and water system for Black
foot on April 2S. Plans and speci-
fcations can be seen at the city hall,
or Cotton & Wilson, architects of
Idaho Falls will exhibit them.
Contractors may bid on any diff
ferent parts or units of the water
works, such as drilling the we'll,
building the pumps and pump house
or tanks or laying the pipes. The
cost of the system will be something
over a quarter of a million dollars
and 1t is desirable to have the work
begin as early in the spring as pos
sible.
At a meeting of the Blackfoot
Commercial club held on Thursday
evening, resolution was passed en-
dorsing the work of the city council
In preparing the plans for the water
works and getting things in shape for
the construction of the new system,
expressing their confidence in the
plans of the mayor and council and
expressing their hope that they would
do what they could to let the contract
to local men, if possible, even tho
they could not stick absolutely to the
lowest bids in doing this. 1t was
the sentiment of the Commercial
club that it will be better for the
town to have this work let to local
who will employ local
people than to get it done for little
less money by contractors living in
other places outside the country or
state, who are likely to bring in a
part or all of their employees, thus
leaving our home people out of en-
ployment at time when 1t is so
much needed.

SAFETY FIRST FOR CHILDREN

The school board has rebuilt the
old exit Of the Central school so that
1t Is safe and substantial. 1t had
been in good many years and was
going to decay. The members of the
school board were getting uneasy
about it and were afraid it might be
needed and not sufficiently strong to
do the work. Fire Chief Simons had
been uneasy about it for good
while and was much pleased when
it was rebuilt.

STRIKING DOESN'T PAY

The Spanish Syndicalists have de-
have issued recommendations against
the practice. Heretofore the strike
has been one of the %favorite weapons
Of syndicalism, but the men at the
head of the movement IN Spain have
decided against it. They have exam
ined the facts and have demonstrat-
ed to their own satisfaction that the
:trike is a costly thing. and that its
cost is pr sently reflected In tn. prices
Of goods, which advanced price the
strikers, as consumers, must pay.
The Spanish organization, il pre-
senting its conclusions on this subject,
outlines another. plan which, on this
side of the water, at least, has the sa-
o of originality. The syndicalist or
ganization is to examine the cost of
production of goods offered for sale,
and will declare what is the fair SELL
ing price of each article. Members of
the organization who are employed as
clerks and salespeople must then re-
fuse to sell goods at more than the
fair price.
1t remains to be seen how this plan
will work. In the meantime, it is in
teresting to note that a national labor
organization which certainly cannot be
accused of being Irejudiced in favor
of capital has determined from its
own Investigations that strikes do not
pay

tho above conditions compares With
the Inconvenience due to the invest
mont BY the people Of North Dakota,
especially tho farmers, Of money in
speculative enterprises from which
they have received no return what
ever. It Is a fair guess that II the
people Of the statA had the money
which they have sunk in projects Of
this kind they could pay all their
debts ana have money in the bank
without touching the past years crop
at all.
There is not . section In the state
where the people have not invested
freely in stocks and. certificates Of one
sort and another. in enterprises, not
related to their regular business. or
in which, II a relationship could be
traced, they had no means Of know
ing whether or mo- the enterprise was
80 organized and managed as to give
it a fair prospect of success.
For %inctance, there is afloat in the
state a large quantity of stock In the
Equity Packing plant at Fargo for
which good hard money was paid, and
the present value of which Is prob
lematical. Solicitors for the sale of
that stock presented the ase plaus-
IDLY, and farmers purchased the stock
in good faith, assuming correctly that
the successful operation Of such a
plant would be of decided advantage
to them in the prosecution of their
regular business. It is not the pur-
plant situation or to attempt to fx re-
sponsibtlity for its present condition.
But it is a fact hal farmers invested
money in the stock without knowing
how or by whom the business was to
be managed, and without receiving
from competent men who did know
the assurance which they needed to
make their investment reasonably
safe. The company has not made sat-
isfactory progress, and the holders of
stock suffer.
That is but illustration out Of
many Of loss through ~inattention to
one of the fundamentals of business.
In the aggregate immense sums have
been invested in stores, newspapers,
mines, oil wells and other enterprises
which are entirely out of the field Of
the investor, and whose operations he
was poweriess to direct or even OBJ
serve. Some of these things have been
purely fraudulent. Others, while I'M
tainted with actual fraud, have been
too speculative to warrant investment
except by those who had money which
they could afford to lose. The. total
must run to many millions, and if
thase who made the investments only
had their money back, the financial
situation would be wonderfully eased.
