WHO WANTS THE
MEXICANS?

The question of whether the Utah
Idaho Sugar company shall return
the Mexican laborers to their own
country according to the original con-
tract; has been hanging Are for a
good WINE and The Republican Of
fee has taken the matter up with the
department Of labor and immigration
as we'll az with the sugar company
and the reports from different sources
do not tally. e
We have q letter from Merrill
Nibley, vice president and assistant
general manager of the Utah-Idaho
Sugar company, in which he says
they are intending to return those
people to their own country accord
ing to the original contract, but on
account of the appeal made by the
farmers of this valley, saying they
needed them until after the beets are

general of immigration and as he
failed to authorize such proceedin gs,
the managers Of the sugar companies
are powerless to keep their agree
ment to return the Mexicans at the
time agreed upon unless the Next
cans were willing. Mr.. Mcconnell
goes on to say that thousands Of
Mexicans, most of whom were
paupers and illiterates have, entered
the United States during the past
three years under contract to Guilt
vate cotton, sugar beets or do other
labor under what is termed the De-
partment Exception" The author
ity for their admission was claimed
to exist in provision 9 of section 3 of
the immigration of January 5, 1917.
The system under which the contracts
were made does not protect the gov
eminent in producing the return of
these people to their own country.
The government does not care to as
sumo the expense of returning them
and he contractors have no means
of compelling the Mexicans to re-
turn tho it has not been shown that
the Mexicans are unwilling to return.
For anything we know they might be
anxious to get back home, but we
have not investigated that feature
of the case. The fact remains that
the Mexicans were admitted without
adequate provision for their control
and return.
1t will be remembered that a GER
tain amount of their wages was to
be retained during the working
months and paid out to them
during the winter period, the
assumption being that the Mexicans
were improvident and might
squander their money during the
summer time and be a burden on
the community in the winter time.
This very thing happened notwith-
standing the provision made to pre-
vent it. The reason it happened was
that labor agitators in our own
country worked among the Mexicans
and told them that the sugar COM
pany was holding back a part of their
wages and that they had no right to
do It, Demand was made for the
payment of the rest of it and it was
found that under the Idaho laws the
Mexican could sue for his wages and |
the sugar company would not only |
have to pay all but pay the attorneys
fee for handling the case in court. So |
there was nothing for the sugar COM
pany to do but to pay them in full |
every pay day. II man Is ignorant |
or dishonest it is pretty hard to tie
him up to contract that will hold
good. He will find some way to break
It.

TRIM THE TRAVELLING
EXPENSES

When the legislature cut down tn
appropriations for the various. stat
institutions they did a good job pro
vided that the expense is trimmed
on the right parts Of the expenses.
The managers of a good many O.
the state institutions have a habi
of running around the country anG
across the continent at state expense
for purposes, the Lord knows what
and the tax payers have Il
pay the travelling expenses anG
the salaries of the travellers
while they are gone. 1t is a matter
of such common occurrence for state
officials and managers II the state IN
stitutions to be travelling abOut the
country like people Of leisure, to stnp
in and visit a little her, and a little
there, look wise and talk a great
deal and pay for it Ut Of the public
treasury. Men connect I'd with fbe
department of educarion run back
and forth across the continent and
have very good time at public ex-
nense, but we have been questioning
for many years whether they did good
with their trips. Men connected with
the agricultural extension depart
ment have been doing the same way;
county agents have been running
back and forth to conventions, both
in the state and in parts of the
country requiring them to travel
thousands of miles to attend the con-
ventions. We question whether they
bring back enough additional infor-
nation to be worth the price. On one
occasion, the boys and girls clubs of
the county held a meeting at Black
foot and had picnic and some sports
and contests. One of those contests
was to see who could do the job best
of walking two by four scantling
fastened to the ground on edge, walk
ing forward on the edge of the
scantling and then walking back to
the other end, forward and back a
certain number of times without fall
ing off, number of other little
stunts children play, and member
of the agricultural extension depart
ment at Boise made the trip to Black
foot and back. spending about three
days time and $35 in money Just to
superintend and score these little
contests we have been speaking Of.
We made inquiry to see whether
she had any other business in this
part of the state and she said she
did not; she said she made the trip
especially and entirely from Boise
and back to tend to that scoring
which took an hour or two.
1t is not enough for the legisla-
ture to cut down the amounts of the
appropria tions for these institutions.
There ought to be some way Of cut
ting down the amount of money
by the heads of the in
'titution for the travelling expense for
rips that have too much of the APP
pearance Of being merely an outing
or executives. I
