people and accept payment of 81 and
make them into legal DIRECTORS and
beat the paving district. He said
that some of the petitioners were
now ready to sign a protest and have
their names taken off the petition.
A Double Signer
One of the councilmen remarked
that man who would sign petition
and then turn around and sign pro-
test, was poor stick and that the
council need not take him very seri-
ously. The petition showed IS per
cent Of the resident property holders
in favor Of the petition, and that was
what the council hat acted on in
starting the expense and the process
of consideration of the whole pro-
ject, and now If the remaining 35
per cent objetxed, the council would
hear their objections and consider
how valid and reasonable were their
reasons and then act az they thought
best. It might appear that the IS
per cent were chiefly obstructionists
who hold property awaiting the rise
in value and wished to let the pro-
gressive folks all about them pave
their streets and then by reason of
this other property being surrounded
by paving and improved property
they could sell theirs at high values
and escape the burden of making It
valuable.
Mr.. Hayes said he was not Of that
class; he had signed the petition to

''If paper money in ever SO great
quantity could be made, no man
could get any of 1t without giving
something for it. But all he saves In
this way will be his own for nothing,
and his country actually SO much
richer. Then the merchants old and
doubtful debts may be honestly paid
off, and trading becomes surer there
after, IL not SO extensive"

SPEAKING OF THE
FAIRGROUNDS

In the last issue of this paper we
published our decision as to the best
course to pursue regarding the ex-
travagance and waste in the fair
ground matters last year, and M. M.
Farmer of Firth came in to say that
he heartily endorsed our position and
our line Of reasoning.
Mr.. Farmer added that it requires
the stirring up of a certain amount
of enthusiasm to get public work
planned and done. 1t requires the
stirring of an interest that amounts
almost to recklessness, to get men
to forget their other interests and
obligations and give of their own
money and get officers to give of the
public money to get big undertakings
put across as did the people of this
county and especially some of the
men of Blackfoot last year. A good
many business houses and business
men gave personally in large blocks,
to get North Broadway opened and
the changes made at the fairgrounds.
1t was done in the nick of time to
get proper entrance to the town.
Since the paving has been put in and
lines sharply defined at the upper
end of Main street it appears that
there is such a choked up condition
near the Anderson lumber yard, it
would be absurd to push all the
travel thru such a neck-in-the-bottle
The men who put up blocks of pri-
vate money to open the second en-
trance on condition that the county
match it with improvements within
the grounds, forced an issue that was
about to become pressing necessity
These same men put up their own
money for the new steel fence to re-
place the old board fence, so like q
prison stockade, and allow the public
to see into the grounds every day in
the year. This in turn stimulated
the interest of many others to help
in various features of the improve
ments, and it is only natural that
when men get enthusiastic in spend
ing their own money they become
more or less reckless in spending the
public money in the same good work.
Mr.. Farmer hopes people will for
get the irritation caused by the waste
of last year, remember and guard
against a repetition of it, and 60 on
with enthusiastic team work in max
ing the most useful and most beauti-
flu fairgrounds in the state.

Tax, as Is Provided by the Act
Ruled Upon, Says Judge Boyd.

Greensboro, N. C.-Judge James z.
Boyd, in federal court, held the ma.
tional child labor law, which seeks
to collect a federal tax OF ten per
cent on the profits derived from the
products Of child labor, unconstitution.
al. The decision was in the case
of the Vivian Spanning Mills, Of Cher
ryville. N. c., seeking to restrain ].
w. Bailey, collector Of internal rev.
enue, from enforcing the act.
The Overwhelming child labor law
was also held unconstitutional by
Judge Boyd in decision rendered two
years ago and that ruling was up
held by the Supreme Court Of the
United States.
Regulation of labor, Judge Boyd
ruled in his decision, is one of the
powers retained by the states, and NOT
delegated to the federal government
State child labor laws are adequate
to take care Of the situation and pro
vide penalty, not tax, as is pro
posed by the act of congress.
The attempt of the federal govern
ment to regulate labor within the
state is an usurpation of authorit!
and a violation of the sovereign
rights of the state, concludes the rul
