The importance of mining in Idaho
to the ;other industries, to every line
of business and to every home is not
represented wholly by the reports
g coming from official sources showing
the output Of lead, silver and gold
in very large way does 1t Affect our
every day life by furnishing a sub
sstantial home market for our pro-
s;ducts.
If the Fdaho farm produce that is
absorbed by our mining districts were
added to the volume that must reach
extent would the supply in those mar
kets affect prices downward. Con-
versely, as these local markets absorb
our produce the farmer avoids that
much composition and, to that ex-
tent, enjoys a,,definite and larger in
come 'proportionate TO the supply in
that direction. Agriculture being
Idaho's basic industry, the effect
thereon of mining operations must be
taken into serious consideration
Mining presents the risks associat-,
ed with the development OF the I'M
certain and the unseen. With all our
prospecting and search into the
bowels of the earth, Idaho das only
some half dozen dividend paying
mines out of several hundred that
have had large SUMS spent on them.
Many Of these are struggling to-day to
get into the dividenu-paying class, and
the general benefits 11cwing from such
eventuation grant them unanimous
immunity from any excess burdens.
They have the best wishes Of all.
None would attempt to impede their /
progress, for they are legitimately en-
gagged, they are bringing in new cap
ftal and they are heavy buyers Of onr
farm products and merchandise.

MOVE To Birdie
SUPREME COURTS
POWER PROMISED

WASHINGTON, April 16.-Pro-
gressives in the next congress will
demand legislation or constitutional
amendments depriving the United
States supreme court of its power to
declare unconstitutional acts of con-
gress by a five to four vote.
This will pave the way to enact.
ment of child labor, minimum wage,
stock dividend tax and the other
laws which the court has knocked
out.
Senator LaFollette, Wisconsin,
leader of the Progressive group, and
Senator Norris, Nebraska, a member
Of it, have blazed the trail for this
legislation. LaFollette has prepared
a measure giving congress the veto
power over supreme court decisions.
Under LaFollette's proposal, con-
gross by repassing a law after the
court has held it unconstitutional,
could override the court. Norris

Gliding constitutional questions must
show a majority of at least two
votes before law could be declared
unconstitutional.
There is a difference of opinion as
to the necessary steps to curb the
courts power. Some members of
congress hold congress by passing a
law can regulate the court, basing
their claim upon the fact that con-
gress can change the size of the
court by law. Others hold that the
court, as a coordinate branch of the
government, cannot be interferred
with except by constitutional amend
ment. This point will be threshed
out when congress takes up the
problem, which promises to be one
of the most bitterly contested of the

ANOTHER FLORIDA
COUNTY |NVOLV WE'D IN
CRUELTY CHARGES

TALLAHASSEE, Fla, April 16.-
Another picture of illbodied con.
victs, their flesh SCARED, inhumanly
worked and beaten, came to Speaker
L. D. Edge, of the house Of repre-
sentatives. today, In the form of
Lee county grand jury presentment
dealing with prisoners Of that coun-
ty under lease to a private firm in
Charlotte county.
The presentment. handed down
under date Of April 10, followed an
investigation by Sheriff Tippins and
County Commissioner +. G. Thomp-
son, of Lee county, who ordered that
the prisoners be Immediately taken
from the Charlotte county camp and
returned to the Lee county jail. The
Charlotte county camp is described
as the Mars Camp" about six or
seven miles out in the woods from
Murdoch.
The presentment found that the
prisoners were required Ito work
from twelve to fourteen hours day
and walk to and from work, from
one to seven miles, at a very fast
rate, also are whipped for any in
fraction of the rules, and often whip
ped for no known reason but at the
pleasure of the man in charge. The
men are not properly clothed and
are compelled to wear any shoe that
is given to them regardless of size
or condition. Some Of the convicts
brought before us have large and
open sores on their hands and feet,
and have never received any medical
attention, and have blisters and
corns on their hands and feet, and
in some instances the flesh is crack
ed open, but in every instance each
of them is required to work along
with the others, and at the same
rate, and are whipped if not able
to do So"
The presentment singled out the
case of a young man whose right
hand was swollen to more than twice
it's normal size, and bearing an open
sore. He was forced, it is charged,
to work steady with a heavy pole,
up to the time he appeared before
the grand jury. All the convicts
were required to eat and sleep with
a negro in the advanced stages Of
an incurable disease, the report says.
Commissioner thompson, In MS
letter accompanying the grand jury
report, says that mis- investigation
disclosed that the men are whipped
from forty to los ticks at time.
Zone white man, named Carter, /
believe" Mr.. Thompson wrote, was
| whipped one week ago, the man that
gave the information counted forty
| ticks until the man dropped, then
negro was called to hold his head,
and he was given quite a few more;
| the onlooker turned and walked
away when the victim fell"
The grand jury presentment calls
upon Representative John A. Hen
derson, Sr., of Lee county, to sup
port legislation to eradicate the
lease system, and if no proposals to
| that end have already been intro
duced, for him to pave the way.
