viding for the acceptance of the build.
ings at the Chamberlain Indian school
as a gift from the general government
with proviso that state school be
kept in existence at which Indian
children shall have free tuition. The
house sentiment does not appear to
be in favor of the acceptance on such
terms. and if the state refuses, 1t is
up to some private organization to
take it over at a set price, and one
is ready to pick it up.
The house passed the Bartine
freight rate bill and the bill providing
for state inspector of hotels and
places of public gatherings.
The house killed the Gable bill re-
quir,ng the publication of the names
of the sgners of liquor license petit
tions and adopted the conference re-
port on the warrant interest bill, fix
ing the interest at per cent on gen.
eral fund warrants and requiring the
state treasurer to refund not more
than 5 per cent whenever the out
standing warrants reach $4,000.
The house anti-cigarette bill did not
create ripple when it was called up
in the senate, and passed easily, giving
the state a strong anti-cigarette law,
it going through the senate with three
votes to spare.
Bates led a fight in the senate
which smoked out" of committee
the bill to cut off the publication of
insurance statementS. The opposi-
tion was led by Byrne, but the COM
mittee was instructed to report the
| bill.
The bill to legalize bond election
| for court house bonds, which barely
squeezed through the house, passed
the senate after a contest, Bryne lead
ing for the bill and Dillon opposing it.

we feed the world is being corrected:
and unless We can increase the agrl.

the question OF a source Of food sup
ply at home will soon supersede the
question OF a market for our own
products abroad" This was the warn.

OF the decline OF agriculture and its
consequences. Mr. HIS subject was

increased population without increas.
ed production per acre, our home food
supply will be insufficient for our own
needs. within ten years, possibly less,
we are likely to become whcat-im-
porting nation: the percentage OF the
population engaged in agriculture and
the wheat product per acre arc both
falling; at the same time the cost OF
living Is raised everywhere by this
relative scarcity of bread by arti-
ficial increase in the price OF all manu-
featured articles. and by habit OF
extravagance which has enlarged the
view of both rich and poor OF what are
TO be considered the necessaries OF
life. These plain facts should disturb
and arouse not only the economic
student but the men who are most IN

nation and most concerned that II

Mr.. Hill declared that never yet has

AGRICULTURAL decline and inability TO

Mr.. Hill said the farm is our main
reliance and that every other activity
depends on that He asserted. how
ever that the majority Of people fail
to realize practically the declining
status of agriculture In the country.
"Tbey are misled by the statistics OF
farm values and products, mounting
annually by great leaps, into thinking
that this absolute increase implies
