ROAD DISTRICT
WINS 0VER BANK

Judgment has iustl been entered by
Judge w. n. Scalesl of the district
court, in a Lewis coutty case. brought
by the Fort Misery Highway district
OF Idaho county, against the defunct
state Bank of kaniiah, to recover
about $4,000 of monty belonging to
the highway district, (which was de
posted by the highway districts
treasurer in that bank in violation of
law.
This action was brodght to test the
new banking act passkd at the 1921
session of the Legislature, which pro-
vided that, Notwithstanding deposits
OF moneys were illegally made, the
deposit should be considered like other
deposits and paid prof. tata with other
depositors.
The courts have previously held
that as suoh deposits were illegal,
title of the money nev4r passed to the
bank, and that the public bodies and
municipalities were entitled to recover
such money from thd bank as pre-
ferred claim and trust funds.
Judge Scales decision holds that the
new law, in SO far ad it attempts to
diyest the title of the Highway district,
Is illegal and in violation of the con-
stitution, and that tie moneys are,
in effect, a special deposit and trust
funds, and may be recovered.

OIL CHANCES IN.
IDAHO HELD TO
Be SLIGHT

Although certain structures occur In
southwestern and sduth central Idaho
that ordinarily would be satisfactory
for the productbn of commercial
quantities of naturR gas and oil, the
sedimentary formations lack oil-bear-
ing qualities and the outlook for
prospecting for oil abd gas is extreme
ly slender. according to a report issued
by John p. Buwal4a, geologist, who
recently completed la survey of the
foregoing regions al the instance of
and in cooperation with the Idaho
bureau of mines. Mr.. Buwalda also
worked in cooperation with the Z. S.
geological survey.
In commenting OF the possibilities
of oil-bearing stratalin the formations
of non-marine origin, Mr.. Buwalda
says:
although 1t Is conceivable that
fresh-water format1bns might origi-
nate petroleum, thd absence of au-
thentic cases in whi9h they have done
so, and the lack of true oil seeps in
the region under examination, reduce
to rather slender proportions the hope
for success In oil anil gas prospecting.
The area examined by Mr.. Buwalda
comprises that part Of southeastern
Idaho known as thd Snake river val
ley, and includes mhny of the tribu-
tary valleys, from a point fifteen
miles northwest of Weiser, on the
west, to Raft riverI and Goose creek
valleys in south central Idaho.

erty claimed by Howard, on which it

CENSORS AID BAD BOOKS.

New York, March I6.-Obscure and obscene books have often been put in the list of best sellers through the ac- tivity of some prying censor, who would guard the peoples morals, ac- cording to a letter written by Chief City Magistrate McAdoo to Supreme Court Justice Ford. The magistrate said that many failing play has been turned into success overnight with the aid of some reformer.
 And I am convinced" he said, "that the theater people themselves are behind the movement to advertise their thoroughly nasty, rotten produc- tions" The law has broken down in effectively dealing with these matters, said the magistrate.
 This breakdown, he said, is caused not because of the law but because of court decisions which are based on the evidence of those who have an interest in the production of plays, paintings and books. To remedy this condition Magistrate McAdoo re- ferred to a decision by the New York supreme court which held that evi- dence from this source was incom- potent and that the question of wheth-
 CT a play or book is immoral "is tc be determined by their reaction or
 the ordinary citizen, the everyday man and woman of the average in | tellieence and having regard to wha
 is conventionally considered decen and moral"

SUGAR BEET BARONS
 EXPLOIT CHILDREN

Washington, March 16.-Under present
 wage standards in the sugar beet fields
 children will not be kept in school regu-
 larly and mothers will not be withdrawn
 from the field to care for their children
 and the home, says the United States
 Children Bureau in report on child
 labor and the work of mothers in the beet fields of Michigan. The report will be
 Of the 500 families studied either child under 16 or a mother of a child
 under worked in the beet fields in 1920
 Among the laborers' families nine out of 10 of the mothers having children under years of age worked in the fields. and practically half the children this age were usually taken by their parents to the fields. The babies were some times kept in boxes or baskets without shelter of any kind Only half of the young children who were left at home were for by brothers Or sisters less than 7 years old, and some had no caretakers in the house. The mothers worked long hours in the fields and did house work in addition.
 Several of the migratory laborers reported their entire family's work would yield no more than the father alone was accustomed to earn in an equal period of time at other work
 Three fourths of the children of school age had been absent from school
 on account of their work, according to
 statements by their parents. The sugar companies usually rented old farm houses for these workers or furnished small portable houses, which too frequently were crowded, and some A. h,I To, f1r11
 lies from three to 10 were obliged to sleep in one small. illy-ventilated room. Occasionally a shack of tar paper or tin, | or a varavan wagon, to be moved about
 as the work required, was the only shelter l provided.

HOW LABOR IS PROTECTED

Washinqton, March 16.-The present high tariff on sugar is defended on the ground that it ''protects American labor" but this industry employs the cheapest labor in America. according to a letter Senator David I. Walsh has re- ceived from the United States sugar as
 sociation which says:
 'In Hawaii over o5 per cent of the
 labor in the sugar industry consists of Japanese, Chinese and Philippine i'm migrants. and Hawaiian sugar interests are now endeavoring before Congress to obtain special legislation to allow them to import Chinese coolies to relieve the preponderance of Japanese influence on the islands. They prefer the Chinese to any other nationality principally be- cause they will work for less, and their present labor elements are not sat1sheld with the present wages na1d Tn Dropor- tion to the sugar companies profits. Japanese, Mexican peons. and some Hindt1s constitute the labor in the dones- tic beet industry of California. "Mexicans. Japanese. Russian-Ger-
 mans and children prevail in Utah, Idaho I and Colorado.
 "Russian-Germans and the surplus | foreign labor supply of the larger cities
 comprises the labor employed in the rest 1 of the states. This class is usually
 rounded up and contracted for by agents l of the factory and furnished to a farmer upon a basis of so much per acre of | beets. They are the cheapest kind and
 class of labor that can be secured.

WOULD REVERT TO JUNGLE
 WANTS ANTI STRIKE LAW

Springfield, H., March 16.-Ben. w.. Hooper. chairman of the United States Railroad Labor Board. would revert to the jungle by making it a crime for workers to quit their employment i'll what he terms "essentia1 industries" They may quit, according to his reasoning, whenever the public is not incon- venienced
 If conditions of these workers is bad. Mr. Hooper does not suggest that the public insist justice be done. but says 1t should be made crime for these workers to strike.
 This jungle reasoning by the railroad labor board head was delivered at a speech in this city to insurance agents The speaker out-Allenized former Gov ernor Allen in attacking workers who are forced to strike He made no com ment on the present policy of railroads l who are responsible for the coal scarcity | His tirade was directed against workers who resort to the strike which. he de clared, "is the sympathetic organized use of force in the settlement of industrial controversies.
 He did not label his system. which consists of jailing workers, and throwing the full power of government against those who dare to quit their employment
