MOSCOW IS URGED
TO HELP STUDENTS
CHAMBER OF COMMERCE WILL
TAKE UP PROJECT OF FINDING
WORK FOR THEM

Can you give a student a job next
winter? If you can't, have you a
neighbor who can?
Wednesdays meeting of the Moscow
Chamber of Commerce will be devot-
ed to consideration of this problem.
This matter of student employ
ment is more important this year
than it has been for many years
past" said President A. H. Upham
today. Enrolment of many students
in the university this fall will depend
to a large extent on the reply we can
give to their requests for a job FL
nancial depression, affecting some
parts of the state more seriously than
others, but affecting all sections to
some extent, has brought about this
situation.
please make it plain, however,
that Moscow people are not called on
to support these students. Every. one
Of them will bring all the money he
san rake and scrape. The university
urges them to come with at least
enough funds to pay their expenses
or the first semester They will
spend here not only every dollar that
hey earn here but also an equal
amount brought in from the outside.
"The Chamber of Commerce has
agreed to help us devise system Of
putting the right student in touch
With the right job. We already have
'eceived applications for work from
Students especially qualified in many
'ocations We need to learn from
ach citizen, what is the job that you
want done, and how big job is it?''
1t is expected that Wednesdays
1eeting will formulate plans for col

is ILLINOIS GOVERNOR
IMMUNE FROM ARREST?

Springfield, Illinois-(By A P)-
Whether Governor Small, indicted for
alleged embezzlement of interest on
state funds while state treasurer, is
immune from arrest will be decided
by Circuit Judge Smith today.
The presence of several national
guard officers in uniform in the state
house is considered significant in
some quarters today in view of the
opinion of the governors counsel
that he has the power to muster
troops to protect him from arrest
Judge Smith told newspaper men
late this afternoon that there will be
nothing done in the case until Tues
day morning.

r. RETRENCHMENT is POLICY FOR
CITY DEPARTMENTS
PUSH SEPTIC TANK

Mayor H. Melgard said Friday
morning when interviewed by a Star
Mirror man that the new pumping
station of the city water department,
recently erected with a capacity of
$500 gallons per hour was proving
to be valuable adjunct to the water
supply of Moscow. The new tower
has four times the capacity of the old
one, and the storage capacity now is
five times the capacity of the old
regime. His honor is satisfied that
the water department is a revenue get
ter, and at the same time gives good
service.
In accordance with the policy pur-
sued in other states and in other mu-
nicipal departments, it was stated
Friday that retrenchment would be
put into effect in the various work
ing departments of the city. Begin
ming August 1 reduction of 20 per
cent would go into effect on the wage
scale. A new scale will be announ-
ced at the next meeting of the mayor
and the city council. This matter has
been taken up with the sole view of
retrenchment.
The council is planning for filling
to the filtering beds for the new sep
tic tank on the flats. Gravel Isl ex-
pected. The delay is thus explained
in the work which will be pushed to
completion later. Mayor Melgard is
pleased with the work so far done In
the important matter of new side
walks and the doing away with the 4!
old board walk systems. The electric
light system will also be an import

TOB|N GETS HEAVY
SENTENCE AND FINE
PLEADS WITH COURT ABOUT HIS
LITTLE FARM BUT FAILS
TO SATISFY JUDGE

Mike Tobin of near Winchester
aged 81, charged in the district court
Friday before Judge Edgar C. Steele
with bootlegging, pleaded guilty to the
charge which was prosecuted by At
torney V R. Clements of the district
attorneys office. The liquor amount
ed to one gallon and as the defendant
had no permit, the violations were
proven. He was sentenced by the
court to pay a fine of 5000 and to
serve four months Imprisonment. The
defendant began to bemoan his Git
tie farm"
"Sure, and there will be nobody to
look after me little place at all at all, !"
he said to the court. His honor en-
phasized the fact that Mike had been
up in the courts for similar offenses
three times and had been found on
the reservation with load of whis-
key.
MAY it plaze yer homer, man
sthole me whiskey and he stole bot

blamed fur it. I was not selling at all,
at all. And fwhat will bekum of me

"It is peculiar that an old man like
you should come repeatedly before
this court replied the judge. "You
have always been full of promises to
REFORM"
The defendant again said someone
ought to attend his farm. If the
court would let him go, he added, he
would leave the country and go to
brother in Ohio.
Asked what he had on his 'Far-r-rm'
Tobin said he had an acre of pota-
toes, some corn, and garden truck.
The court was not satisfied and told
him the fine would stand, and that
he would have to serve his sentence
n prison.

UNCLE JOHN DUNBAR
TO Be RE|MSTATEO
WILL r. HAYS, POSTMASTER GEN
ERAL, ISSUES ORDER RE-
VERSING BURLESON

The efforts of this paper to have
Uncle john Dunbar restored to the
position OF carrier on rural route No.
2, out of Moscow, have born fruit.
The prediction made by this paper
that VIII X. Hays, postmaster gener-
al, would right the wrong done by
his predecessor, Burleson, who fired
Mr.. Dunbar last fall, over the largest
protest of patrons of the route, Post
master Morgareidge and Congress-
man French, has been verified.
Realizing that gross injustice had
been done to faithful employ who
had given 20 or more of the best years
of his life to the service and was
'fired" just after there had been a
substantial increase, in salary, the
editor of this paper took the matter
up and asked the citizens of Moscow
to protest. The citizens of Moscow
and the route served by Mr.. Dunbar
took action. Mrs j. e. Anderton.
living on the route Mr. Dunbar had
served SO faithfully for so many years
came to this office and asked the
editor to draft petition to Postmas-
ter General Hays asking that Mr..
Dunbar be reinstated. She circulated
it on route 2 and got practically every
patron. None to whom the petition
was presented refused to sign it.
Some who did not see it came to this |
office and asked for the privilege of |
being first to sign one Of the petit
tions.
The petitions were sent to Postmas-
ter General Hays, together with clip
pings from the local paper telling Of
The action that had been taken. The
editor wrote personal letter to Mr..
Hays giving him the facts and ask
ng that the wrong done by his pre-
1ecessor be righted. Today the edi-
or received the following message
rom Washington, D. c.:
VIII Reinstate all of Them
"All postal employees retired a year
lgo against their will under orders
# former Postmaster General Bur-
eson under the age retirement act
will be reinstated. Postmaster Cen
raj Hays announced yesterday.
"Mr. Hays is now completing plans
o effect the reinstatement, which
viii affect thousands of employees
throughout the country. 1t is pos
ible that special legislation will be
sked of Congress to confirm the re-
1statement."
