FLORIDIANS ARE
HELD ON PEON-
AGE CHARGES

Pensacola, Fla, Nov. pa fed
eral grand jury has indicted Sheriff
Clark and County Judge Chain Of
Calhoun county, and several other per
sons in connection with alleged peon-
age practices in the turpentine fields
of that section of this state.
Following an exhaustive inyestiga-
tion by federal agents, the accused
are charged with having arrested la
borers and bringing them 10 trial be
fore Judge Chain. The later, it is
stated, has admitted TO federal Off
cials that he Imposed costs with an
added 500 for Services Of the men
to go after the laborers."
The prosecution, il Is claimed, will
tell a narrowing tale Of brutality to-
ward men who escaped from these
camp. When captured, some Of the
fugitives were stripped Of clothing,
fastened to the ground and lashed.
The trial, il is declared, will show
that the evils Of the convict camps in
the turpentine fields continue, though
the state legislature passed a bill for
bidding he leasing Of conyicts 10 prl-
vate companies and abolished the lash
in prison camps.
This law followed the death Of Mar
tin Tabert Of North Dakota, who wa
arrested for riding on a freight train.
He was leased to the Putnam lumber
company, in whose camp be was
hogPed.

INSIDE FACTS
SHOW SMALL
INDICATED

The states elaim--or the claim
pressed in the name of the state by
Attorney General Brundage-against
former Treasurer Len Small and the
estate of the late +. {. Curtis, is
peculiar one.
If the money Treasurer Small de-
posted with Curtis, kankakee county
private banker, had been placed in a
Chicago bank, and loaned by that
bank to the Chicago packers, the two
per cent paid to the state would have
been satisfactory and there would
have been no question as to what IN
ierest the bank received from eusto-
mers that used the money.
Many millions of state money have
been placed in manv banks, when
Small was treasurer and before and
since. In no case, other than the one
in court, has there been question
whether the depositary received high
er interest than the legally estab-
lished rate which the depositary paid
the state. Ii has been presumed that
there was profit in the handling OF
the money. No one would care to
take the risk and pay the two per
cent, and then account for all the
difference between the legal interest
rate and the commercial interest
rate.
But, on the ground that Private
Banker Curtis was not qualified as a
depositary, it is claimed that the safe
keeping of the principal, its return
intact, and payment of the interest at
the same rate paid on state deposits
elsewhere, is not enough. The claim
is that the money, technically, was
not deposited by the state treasurer,
and that he, or the Curtis estate, rs
obliged to account for any pay over
the difference between the legal IN
terest Curtis paid to the state treas
ury and the commercial interest the
Chicago packing companies paid Cur
| It's.
1t is difficult to see the equity IN
this peculiar proceeding.
This is why the voters OF the state
| approved the announcements OF MI
| Carlstrom that he expected to dis
miss the suit if he became attorney
general.
But, until next January, Mr.. Brun'
dage holds the office for which he
was refused the nomination for an
other term.

NATIONS OIL RE-
SOURCES WASTED BY
PRIVATE GREED

Cleveland, Ohio, Nov. 29.-"Oil men
are plain boobs if they can not set
their house in ORDER" said Henry l..
Doherty of New York, head of the
cities service organization, addressing
the National Petroleum Marketers' as
sociation.
The speaker said the oil industry is
in bad way and the public, not know
ing enough about it TO insist on cor
rection, will pay for all eternity" the
price of the industry's wasted natural
resources, its decentralization and its
increasing comnetition.
Quoting figures by the United
States geographic survey, Mr.. Doheny
Twin city review. [volume] (Champaign, Ill.) 19??-1929, 1924-12-05

declared that I'VE are devastating the
oil reserves in the country at a rate
which would exhaust them in about
II years"
To check criminal wastes Of this
natural resource, Mr. Doheny favored
state regulation. No one would be
permitted to drill for oil without a
state permit, and then only in a dis
triet that had been established. No
oil well should be dug within one-hali
mile inward from the outer boun-
daries of this district.
There was no justification for an
Increase in the price of crude oil either
last year or the year before, and there
can be no justification for 1t this year
or at least for several months" Mr.
Doherty said.

gross evil it inspires. But the writer
of this article fully realizes that the
time is too late now to enact wiser
legislation. A wine and beer permit
would not now offset the evils of boot
logging in poisons. Such a permit
would have had the proper effect four
years ago. -,
But the Federation of Labor be-
lieyes in law and stands squarely
back of any well designed policy OF
law enforcement, even to the extent
of the Volstead act.
The liquor traffic whether legalized
or illicit is a great evil, productive
of unending harm to its victims and
the Review wants this traffic con-
trolled and entirely eliminated if pos
sible.

Another generation will see de-
cided change for the better in such
communities as Champaign and Ur-
bana. 1t is known fact that while
many young people are drinking, they
are not drinking in sufficient quantl-
ties to form the habit of intemper-
ance. As soon as they become en-
crossed in business they will forget
that they ever drank, and they, VIII
have little trouble in forgetting TO
drink in the wider interests of life.
The men who are now victims of the
illicit traffic are those who formed
the habit of drinking when the saloon
was in power. Eventually they wiil
die off in this community for the
noison that is sold will take care OF
that. While the younger generation
that is coming on will be of differ
ent caliber. The city, however, owes
a debt to the men who are now VIC
tins of the traffic. The bootlegger
should be haressed until he fears the
law, and quits his traffic for eXpe-
dience sake, if for no other reason.
