JUDGES FAVOR MEASURE
Majority of Probate Judges Believe in
Free Medical Treatment

The state board of corrections and
charities has completed an investiga-
ton OF the extent OF operation of the
law passed at the last session OF the
legislature, providing for free medical
and surgical treatment OF children
whose parents are unable TO provide
proper treatment In a little less than
year after the law became operative
232 children, representing 90 counties,
had been admitted to the university
hospital for treatment.
The state board found that almost
without exception the probate judges
of the state, in whom the administra-
tion of the law is vested, are strongly
in favor of its continuance. The i'm
vestigation was made TO enable the
board to recommend to the next legis.
lature any changes in the law which
might seem advisable.
About two months ago, Probate
Judge Rite OF tins county was re-
quested by the state board OF correc-
tions and chariti1s to give his opinion
on the question, and also TO report on
the treatment of juvenile delinquents.
The Investigation for which the report
was made has just been completed

War Creates Desire For Land

The war has not only raised food
prices over night but there has been
created an exceptio nal desire for home
stead land ia the West. The farmer
again has absolutely demonstrated his
independence and while there is an
apparent unrest in other professions
which is TO be sure unwarranted, the
farmer above all has before him a
season of unbounded prosperity.
Whether or no. the sudden rise i'm food
stutfs is arbitrary or is the natural
result of economic conditions, the fact
remains that people realize more than
ever the tiller of the soil is assured
of an abundant living in any crisis,
1T seems as though we are unable
to make enough farms said Albert
V. Leonard Settlement Agent of the
Reclamation Service in the Federal
Bldg. recently. 1--WE are hurryiug
the work AS rapidly as possible and |
believe the continuance of war in
Europe with the consequent prosperity
of the farmer in America will create
large demand for good homestead
land. We have available at this time
upwards Of 200 desirable farms in the
Shoshone project near Yellowstone
Park, and on September is the Gov
ernment win dispose of 600 acres
by "a drawing of choice land in the
Truckee Carson project Nevada.
1T is encouraging TO note that these
tracts will be offered under the Re-
clamation extension act approved last
week by the President whereby actual
settlers are given 20 years time
without interest to repay the water
right loan. Here is an opportunity
seldom offered by the Government,
and prospective homesteaders should
blame only themselves for failing to
investigate this exceptional chance
proitably TO help feed not only the
growing American Nation but the
war-stricken countries of Europe 4"

MNAuGHToN REPUDIATED

MNAUGHTON REPUDIATED
Senator Thomas McNaughton OF the
seventeenth senatorial district of this
state has specialized upon the tonnage
tax. Those who know Mr.. McNaughton
say that his purpose in doing so was
10 gain favor with his constituents
whom ne figured were imbued with
the tonnage tax idea Mr.. McNaughton
figured that any doctrine which could
carry defiance TO the copper and iron
barons Of the upper peninsula would
be met with the applause of his con-
stituents, regardless OF the right or
wrong of the case. He was the open
champion of the tonnage tax measure
and had he been chosen again he would
have been the leader in pushing the
proposed measure through the legisla-
ture.
But Mr. McNaughton will not he
re elected He gagued his constituents
wrongly. The people are just as able
to digest an issue as the politicians If
given fair opportunity and In this
case they seem to have digested 1t
thoroughly for they repudiated Nc
Naughton AZ the primaries and now he
must preach his tonnage tax doctrine
from the side lines
Aud. therein lies the kernel of what
many preachers and newspapers have
been telling the men having the direc-
ton of the mining operations in this
peninsula. The people want to be fair.
II they are unfair IL is because they
have been misinformed or have been
goaded 70 reprisal by the autocratic
acts Of those in power There are
many people in the lower peninsula
swayed by seifishness just as there are
some mine owners in the upper PEN
insula swayed by the same spirit but
the majority of the people want to be
fair, just as the majority of the mine
owners and operators want to be and
if they are met In square and open
manner they will reciprocate by a
fair and open decision. We believe
that if the tonnage tax was rightfully
put before the people of the lower pen
insula il it was shown them that the
companies are paying their
just burden OF the costs of government;
if il be shown that the money from
mine tax is needed in the upper pen
insula to develop and make this section
productive and tax paying when the
iron ore and copper are gone, that the
upper peninsula has nothing 20 fear
from their decision in the matter.
We are and we always have been IN
favor Of spending the money that is
spent i'm warding off the tonnage tax
IN a campaign of enlightenment OF the
paonle and not in advancing the inte-
rests OF this or that political clique
in hopes that II may be delayed or
blocked in the Legislature. The ton
mage tax IS going 10 be an issue just
as long as any considerable number Of
the fair minded people of this state
think it is right and the opponents
might as well get To the root first as
last and show the question in is
right light In order TO put il in that
light, though. those interested must
come into court with clean hands and
put all cards face up on the top of
the table III they do that we nave no
fear OF tonnage tax being enacted in
