HO . TON. Ok la.. Nov. 1 Tha
1 ulna World Oentlemea: There la
an old expression "circumstances al
ier cases.' A few years ago oraan
lied labor made a great outcry about
even working convicts on the roads:
this Is now accepted by orgunUed la-
bor and tho country In general as the
proper thing. Three of the gieat
mutes or rne I nlon have gone a step
farther. The great stares of Califor-
nlu Texan and Massachusetts have to
a certain extent solved the problem
of the hobo and the "I Wont Work"
f. W. XV.) Thla has long been solved
by Mexico; when they wake up long
enough to care in Mexico they peon
them; in the three states of the Union
they farm them out.
I -ft a hobo start to California as in
the days of 1907 and woe unto him If
he don't want to work. He may get
past Houston and San Antonio but
let him get caught at Dl D'llanls
Hnndereon Jtel Itlo or Devil's River
and some vigilant constable Is as sure
to get him as tnat Cod made little
apples. Then he will be fined about
one hundred dollars one offense for
riding an interstate train one for be-
ing a vagabond and another for being
alive; by the time they get thru with-
nini ne la good for at least one crop
reason; then he In farmed out at about
60 cent a day to himself to pay Mm
fine. Thn county gets about n dollar
a day for him. 'Thus they make money
on him and even In the desert regime
they do not suffer for help. This i
the grape country wh?re about half
f your "California grapes" come
from; also the "El Pano grapes" both
very delicious.

you find thousands of men doing

Known in the history of the country
crofia going M waste men sitting
around Hinoke Houses" and pool
halls. Tho newspap.irn have madn too
much publicity of a few men going to
war. Therj la not yet a Hhoiiage of
rnon. Oct your last year's statlntic
and see how many Idle men there
were In the I'rdtert Htutes and yon
will fln'l there were five million In
vdte of plenty of work Ir. certain re-
gion and P'jod wage now the army
has taken a mllllot- we will say us
the maximum; there are possibly two
hundred thousand who have enlisted
in vr.rlooa ways thru ('unada. In the
f rem h foreign leulon and with Great
KrlUiln so we have yet a surplus of
Idle men.
What the army hus really done tho
in to t.lke the productive men initially

When a man enllntn In war times he In

It has been proven In Texas and
California that a great percentage of
the men who forced to go to
wcrk finally adapt themselves to It:
thev lenrn how to work. Must of
them did not kuow before; some of
them become foremen on bridge an l
construction work srwern sirllroada
etc. As stigireMted lu the above tho
farmer gets tho convicted lunn makes
every provision In his power for his
sufoa keeping the officers all alon'J
the highways make a hardness of bak-
ing out for tramps; If the loafter geJ
away from the farmer he Is cauaht
and brought track; If ne gets away tno
farmer pays for what time he Is actu-
ally In lino.
Of course the  system will be
n bused. Some farmers will take tlio
j men uso them and pay less than
rriiiiined. but If the community only
gets en-nuth out of him to pay actual
fees expended and the farmer only
ivets a day's labor everyone ought to
feel good over It; it will help that
much.
In conclusion do you ever hoar of

t Water Power Laws
Mlf.FOItD Pn. Nv. 12. Mr. Eu-
Kono T.orton Kditor The W'orld.
Tulna Okla. near Mr. Iortont
The great war in which our -nation
Is engaged will be won not alone b
food and men hut by mechanical
power as well. Without mechanical
power we could dot make or move
tho weapons with which we fight
guns ammunition ships nnd sup-
plies our national resources of
power whether from coal oil or
water power are national war neces-
sities. Wc need then: to win the war.
In thin gigantic struggle our secur-
ity requires us to use all these great
resources and to use them wisely
nnd well. Tho people of the lUited
States own soma fifty million unde-
veloped water horse power or about
enough to run every f ain troliey
factory mill mine and electric power
plant we have.
For ten years the friends of conser-
vation have urged tho development
of public wtferpowor In the public
interest . Hut development lias boon
hold hack by a Jittlo group of water-
power magnates and their friends In
conpre.s.i who have blocked all legia-
tnlion which would not srive them
then valuable properties forever and
for nothing.
Today when the nation needs nil
Its resources the same men who
have ben blocking rensonalrie water-
power legislation own and nnd are
holding millions of water horse power
undeveloped and out of use while
clamoring for more.
The time has come when such ob-
struction threatens the nation's safe-
ty and success. We need the devel-
opment of these powers In war even
more than In peace. At the coming
session of congress sound watcrpowev
legislation should be enacted as a
war measure based upon principles
fair to all sides. These principles I
Relieve to be briefly as follows:
The thing to do with waterpowsr
Is to develop It. Whatever retards of
restricts the development of public
water" p'owers on ter.ns fair to tho
public Is against the public policy and
htotile to the general welfare.
Waterpower belongs to the people.
The site where it ia produced should
always be held In public hands for
only so can effective control In tho
general Interest be secured.
Where public development la not
desired the right to use waterpower
sites should be leaded for periods long
trough to permit sound attractive
and profitable Investment but never
longer than fifty years. At the end
of each lease all rights should re-
turn to the people who gave them.
In order to protect the consumer
cgalnat extortion rates and service
should be regulated by fedoral au-
thority when state and local authori-
ties fall to do so. -
Reasonably prompt and complete
development and continuous opera-
tion subject to market conditions
should be required. Already millions
of water horsepower are held oat of
to further monopoly by private
corporations.
 As the president bag said "tho su-
preme fert of the nation hsa come.
We must all speak" act nnd sen's to-
gether." Sincerely yours lilfforJ
