DEPARTMENT FOR
CAREY ACT LANDS
Idaho Establishes One to Help the
Land Board With Vast Amount
of Work

Boise, Idaho.-The state land board
has created a Carey act department and
placed Senator b. p. Shawhan at its
head.
In speaking of the creation of this
department State Auditor S. d. Tay-
lor says: .-..
'The establishment of a Carey act
department is, in my judgment, one of
the most important steps taken by the
present land board. Idaho has 5000, 900
acres of Carey act lands, representing
investments of between $75, 100000 and
$100,000,000, and affecting many thou
sands of settlers. 1t must be evident
that the supervision of this work in
wolves a vast amount of detail.
Heretofore the executive officers of
the state, constituting the state land
board, have been expected to take on
the burden of all this detailed work, in
addition to their regular duties. This
has been a physical impossibility, and
has resulted in many mistakes being
made and costly oversights, while the
settlers living on the tracts have not
yet had the attention that they should
have.
"This status of affairs has led to the
suggestion of a Carey act commission.
The legislature refused to create a
Carey act commission, but the state land
board has evolved a plan much more
simple than that of a commission, less
expensive and which has practically all
of its advantages.
Under the new plan all business in
tended for the consideration of the
state land board will be given mature
consideration by the Carey act depart
ment before the land board is required
to pass upon the subject

RECIPROCITY BILL FINALLY
CARRIED BY A VOTE
Of So To q.
Majority of Republicans Members on
Record as Against It-Democrats
Help Taft Most-President Signs 1t
This Week, Then It's UP to Canada
Alone to Complete the Treaty.

Washington.-The reciprocity agree
ment between the United States and
Canada embodied in the reciprocity bill
that proved storm center in two
houses of congress passed the senate
without amendment by a vote of SO to
81. majority of republicans voted
against it. Of the SO votes for it 32
were democratic and 21 republican. Of
the 81 against, "a were republican and
three democratic.
This action settled the whole Cana
dian reciprocity question as far as con-
gress is concerned, and save for execu-
tive approval and the Canadian parlia-
ment 8 ratification, virtually made the
pact the law of the land.
The reciprocity bill, having origina-
ted in the house, must be returned
there for engrossment and for the sig
nature of Speaker Clark while the house
is sitting.
The Canadian parliament has not yet
acted on the agreement, and with one
exception the provisions of the bill as
passed by congress viii not become eff
fective until the president issues a
proclamation that Canada has ratified
the pact. The exception to this pro-
cedure is in the paper and pulp section
of the bill, which, it is announced, will
become Immediately effective when the
president signs the law.
From the White House President Taft
followed the votes on the amendments
and on the final passage of the bill with
the keenest interest.
81 am very much gratified and de-
lighted that the bill is passed." he said.
cit indicates the increase of mutually
beneficial relations between Canada and
this country"
Senator Penrose ventured the predic-
ton that congress would adjourn not
later than August 9 or 10.
A bitter struggle is expected in the
senate this week over the wool tariff.

WESTERN FEDERATION Miners
AT BUTTE TAKE ACTION
OF Condemnation.
'Pious Fraud" they Say, Drilling
Youths to Be "Flunkeys Claim It
Tends to Foster Military Spirit in
Youths of Countrywide Members to
Keep Children Out of Boy Scouts.

Butte, Mont.-At a session of the
Western Federation of Miners the fol
lowing resolution, presented by Dele
gate Frank Curran of Butte Miners
union, was adopted:
Resolved, That we condemn in the
strongest terms the so-called boy scout
movement as a mere pious fraud by
which the youths of the nation are
being drilled into principles of slayish
obedience to superiors BETTING funk
eys, but wholly unbeftting American
citizens, and into spirit of militarism
which tends to incite and foster the
willingness to shoot, main and murder
their fellow men at the behest of the
master class and under cover of a cor
rupted spirit of so-called patriotism.
ave denounce the principle of the
boy scout movement as wholly falla-
cious, unsocial and undemocratic, and
we brand the movement itself as a
capitalistic infamy which has as its
objective the rearing of boys who In
the coming years will be the supple
slaves and willing hirelings of the CAPT
talistic class to murder the men, wild
working class, who shall be struggling
for economic freedom. And we warn
all members of this organization and
organized labor generally against per-
hitting their children entering the or
ganization."
Several other states have taken sim
liar action.
The committee on strikes and lock-
outs created a decided stir in the con-
vention by reporting in favor of cen
surfing the executive board of the
American Federation of Labor for re-
fusing, so it was reported, to extend
aid to the girl button workers of Mus
eatine, Iowa. The committee expressed
the opinion that owing to the drafts
on its finances in its own jurisdiction.
the Western federation could not now
give the button workers any aid.
THE convention is wasting about
$500 worth of time in debating this
question:" declared Secretary Ernest
| Mills. Before that much more time
10 WdSleu move tnaC we extend our
sympathy and best wishes for success
to our sisters in trouble and accompany
the message with a check for $500"
The motion was adopted by unanimous
vote.
A report of the committee on strikes
and lockouts denounced the action OF
the Black Hills mine owners as cruel
and inhuman and recommended that the
fight to end the lockout be continued
with energy and determination and that
the assessment to aid the miners there
be continued
The report of the committee on the
Nome (Alaska) refund of assessments
was adopted by the convention.
The convention considered the report
OF the committee on grievances on an
appeal to the convention by Joseph
Commoll, former secretary, from the
executive board. The committee found
IN its report that the president and ex-
ecutlve board had acted rightly in re-
voking the charter of local No. 101,
Arizona, and recommended that the con
vention sustain their action.

BAY POLICY
WRONG, SAYS ROOSEVELT
Government Should Retain Controi ~
Alaska to Prevent Monopoly
Essential to Development.

New York-Theodore Roosevelt mas
an article on the development Oh Alash"
in q recent issue of the Outlook, III
which he raps the interior department
for it's attitude in the Controller pay
cases.
Referring to the Controller bay case,
Mr.. Roosevelt says:
.sIn this connection L wish also TO
call attention to the essential tact as
regards the Controller aay SITUATION
Controller bay, under actual conditlonS'
offers the only chance, or at any ra'e'
very much the best chance, for a free
outlet from the great Boring river coal
fields.
cit was the imperative duty OF the
government service to keep this outlet
free and not to dispose of it to any indi-
vidual or individuals.
Elimination Unfortunate.
N'The government should have held
this land in perpetuity, permitting It's
use by any individual or corporation
only under conditions that would sub
serve the general public interest. I'm
fortunately, the interior department last
October eliminated from the government
reserve not only the 800 acres the elm
nation of which was mistakenly recon-
mended by the agricultural department,
but $500 acres. Whether there was or
was not improperly in the way in
which the elimination was brought
about, or whether or not there was i'm
propriety in the action which resulted
IN the instant fling of claims by Mr..
Ryan and others, does not go to the
root of the matter.
''The root of the matter is that no
such elimination should have been made
by the interior department. The pub
lie interest demanded that this land
should be kept under public control and
that to prevent monopoly its use should
be permitted only under such conditions
as the public need required.
Favor Development.
Remember always that such action
would not have hindered development
it would have favored development, for
it would have enabled any honest cor
poration to come in and do its part in
developing the country without fear of
being crowded out by some other corpo-
ration which, through unwise govern
ment action, might obtain a monopolis-
tic right.
1T is absolutely essential to the pro-
per development of our waterways
within the United States and it is es-
sential to the proper development of
| he Alaska coal felds.'
He declares two factors to be respon
sible for retarding progress in this di
rection: "Great capitalists who wished
to develop Alaska by making enor
nous fortunes for themselves outside
OF and in defiance of the law" and the
congressman who, "under pretense OF
hostility to the corporations, decline tc
permit the passage of legislation which
Will enable them to do their work hon
estly and develop the coal fields with 8
fair profit to themselves while doine
justice to others"

Killer Lindsay was more deliberate and

keenly enough to be certain that he had
not made the attempt.
The pilot, therefore. having three small
cards in his hand, saw the raise. though
he went no further. Threes were a fair
risk. providing there should be no re-
raise. and so far AS One Eye was con-
cerned there was none. He trailed, how
ever. and the Killer reraised 1t SO.
