GOVERNOR FAVORS
D|SROBING JUDGE

Governor Hardee of Florida Mon
day afternoon recommended to the
Senate that County Judge Willis of
Leon county be dismissed from Of
flee. The charges upon which the
dismissal are asked we're malfeasance
and drunkenness, growing out of the
investigation into the death of Mar
tin Talbert in a convict camp.
1t was Judge Willis who sentenced
Talbert, giving him ninety days at
hard labor on a charge of riding a
freight train. While at the camp Tai
bert was terribly beaten and died two
days later.
Sheriff Jones of Leon county, who
arrested Talbert, was removed from
office by the Senate last week on the
same charges filed against Judge Will
lis.
1t was shown that the Putnam
Lumber company, in whose camp Tai
bert died, was assured a continuous
supply of labor by arrests on the
smallest pretext. The county's law
enforcement machinery was set up for
the purpose of supplying this demand.
Men who were arrested we're advised
to plead guilty with the understand
ing that they would be either dis
missed or given light sentence. This
permitted the court to adjust the SEN
tence to the labor demands of the
lumber company. When prisoners
were charged by guards with Sinking
their work they were turned over to
a whipping boss" and whipped in
true slavery style.
The United States government is
investigating the death of another
convict from slashing. who died in
the Leon county jail shortly after he
was returned from a lease convict
camp.

WHITFIELD TO DIE
FOR KILLING GIRL

Vancouver, Wash.-George e. Whit
field, II, must pay the death penalty
for the murder Of little Anna Nosko,
the jury which heard the five days
trial of the youth decided. Little time
was consumed In reaching a verdict
of guilty Of murder in the first de-
gree, which was reached on the second
ballot, it was said. but in this state the
jury in a murder case must make a
special finding as to whether or not
the death penalty shall be inflicted.
1t was on this question that the jury
halted and deliberated, finally decid-
ing that Whitfield's act merited death.
On the night of March 8, 1923, Clarke
county was shocked by reports OF the
murder of little Anna Nosko, 11-year-
old school girl Of Battle Ground. She
failed to reach home on the night in
question, and search made by a large
number Of men resulted in finding her
body hid in dense thicket of under
brush south of the Northern Pacific
railroad track Whitfield was arrested
that same night as he stood among
the crowd Of men gathered near the
body.

DOLLAR SHRINEAGE
OFFSETS INCREASE

Continuous increases in the cost OF
living since January 1, 1922, have re
duced the purchasing power of the
dollar from 72.5 cents to 59.5 cents
april 1, 1929, according to Irving
Fisher. professor economics at Yale
university. The dollar has lost 61k
per cent of its purchasing power
since January Of this year.
The workers in the cotton and wool
en- mills of the east and certain en-
ployes Of the big steel corporation, as
well as the employees in the lumber
industry in the west, have recently
received increases of from 10 to 121k
per cent in their wages. This rate of
increase seems like considerable
gain until it is measured not in terms
of the dollars value in 1913. but in re-
spect to the purchasing power of the
dollar in April, 1923.
These operatives are not getting
dollars of 100 cents each. The dollar
that is paid to them now has a value
in commodities of only 591k cents.
The recent advances in wages--Most
of them to take effect In April and
May-mean, therefore. not from 10 to
1914 cents on the dollar OF 1913, but
from 6 to tx cents on the dollar Of
April, 1928. The dollar has lost more
than s per cent of its purchasing
power since January 1 last, and is still
declining at the same rate. In anoth-
er three months the rise in prices and
the corresponding shrinkage of the
dollar, If they continue at the present
rate, will have deprived the workers
of the small increases granted in the
larger industries.

NEW YORK, May 3sThe whirl.
wind Of protest against Judge Gary's
immigration policy has forced him on
the defensive for the first time ID HIS
career.
He insists that be does not favor
unrestricted immigration. and called
newspaper reporters to his office that
they might make public the elad It'd.
ings.
The judge quoted from his steno-
graphic notes Of his speech al q meet
ing Of the steel stockholders. in which
he objected to the immigration law
"as passed" He insisted that these
two words we're overlooked BY his
critics.
The incident is significant. Il shows
the power of publicity and constant
agitation. If Judge Gary was not
stung by the criticisms he would
never invite newspaper men to his Of
flee to. hear him explain.
Under the law that he objects TO-
a check is placed on Unrestricted inn
migration from the Balkans and
Southern Europe. The quotas from
western and northern European eoun-
tries are yet untitled, but Judge Gary
is not interested in immigrants from
these countries. They demand q liv-
ing wage.
The corporations want the quota
from the cheap labor sections in
creased. OF course, they do not want
immigration. All they
want is a sufficient number to keep
wages down and make possible. an
army of strfkebreakers.
