THE GOVERNORS BOOST PLAN

Pittsburg Dec, 23.-Ont of the western gov
ernor's eastern tour has come the most far
reaching movement ever started for the de-
velopment of all the region lying west of the
Mississippi river. The plan which is based up
on the affiiliat,on Of the governors of twenty
two states, comprising more than half of the
United States, with party politics eliminated,
for the benefit of agricultural progress, was con-
ceived today by governor West of Oregon.
Why not perpetuate this original alliance of
ten states which has accomplished so much good
for the west through our eastern trip?" the
executive of Oregon suggested to the other
governors. The idea took like wild fire and
within five minutes there was held on the exc
cutive end of the palatial Great Northern train
conference which set in motion this most
gigantic campaigne for q greater west.
Governor Norris of Montana was elected chair
man of the conference, and resolutions were
drawn up inviting the governors of all the states
of the west to come into the mammoth booster
club and help bring the west into it's own. The
initial conference. according to tentative plans,
will be held either in Denver, St. Lewis or one
the Twin Cities next summer,
1t is not the intention of this alignment of
governors to stir sectional feelings between the
east and the west, the sole object of the oagan-
lied gubernatorial effort is to swing the United
States senator's and congressman of the
western states into conserted movement that

il the following story which appear

"The Indian lands on the various

sion was reached at the conference
of the supervisors of Indian schools,
headed by Chief Supervisor H. P.

suggest to Commissioner Valentine
that he make recommendation for
the necessary legislation.
"The trust period, it is explained,
will expire on many of the reserva-

unless congress 50 authorizes, the
states cannot collect taxes on these

the end, It is pointed out, because the
money derived would be used in build
