SOLVE UNEMPLC
BY HARRY PAYNE BURTON
Copyright, 1915, by the Newspaper
Enterprise Association)
New York, Jan. 21.-Samuel I'm
teFmyer, the famous New York law
yer, who has been asked as an ex-
pert to appear before the federal
commission on industrial relations at
the opening of it's proceedings in New
York city. last Monday, made a
startling statement today as to what
in his judgment is the significance Of
the present movement.
'The significance of the move
ment is in the fact that this investi-
cation is the opening gun in a ma
tional campaign for comprehensive
social reform in which we are about
25 years behind European countries
in all that pertains to a scientific
study of national methods for arrest
ing industrial poverty" declared IN
termyer.
''In Germany, Austria, Italy, Den
mark, England and, in fact, in almost
all European countries, there Is In eX-
istence a governmental agency deal
ing scientifically with the subjects OF
maternity benefits, sickness, inVa-
idity, unemployment and old age
among the industrial workers of the
country.
''The beneficent results have been
far reaching. Medicines and physi-
clans have been placed within the
constant reach of the poorest work
efs, and there has been a marked i'm
provement in the physical condition
of the workers.
"The subject is too vast for this
sort of discussion. Nothing approach
ing it in it's difficulty has ever been
attempted by our government, but it
is capable of solution with us as it
has been and is being solved in other
countries

ut is high time" Untermyer con-
cluded, that our public men were
made to understand that they must
now seriously approach the problem
of ameliorating industrial conditions

they have before them, they do not
solve that problem their places viii

to do So"
WHAT SEN. ROBERT L. OWENS
OF OKLAHOMA THINKS
am in favor of giving jobs imme-
diately to the unemployed, and to
that end I would favor immediate
legislation by congress for the be-
ginning of public works which would
give work at once to the men out of
work who want work and cannot
get it.
AS one practical means to this end
1 suggest the appropriation of a sum
large enough to begin construction
of roads. It would be my idea that
this road work could be started in
every part Of the country where la
Dor is idle, and that men could i'm
mediately be put on this work and
given shelter in tents and plentiful
food, and, in addition, nominal
wage of Is cents or a dollar a day. I
would keep the wage low enough so
that, while meeting the immediate
necessities of the workers, it would
not interfere with the normal de-
mand for labor in other industries.
By this means I would convert
what is now a huge liability into a
commercial asset. These unemployed
now have to be supported. They are
a dead weight on the community.
They have no chance to pay in labor
for what they eat and wear. And it
is not their fault. If we put them to
work at building roads their work be-
comes an asset. The road is a thing
of permanent value and of continuing
usefulness to the community, and
good roads ultimately would lower
the cost of living by opening up more

necessity any the less urgent. Nor
does it make injuries to the COM
munity any the less vital because the
persons inhicting the injuries are
ignorant Of the harm they are doing.
A community gives to each OF its
citizens a great many things that
they would sorely miss if deprived OF
them. In return and for its own
preservation the local town-the
nucleus of the community, without
which it would not exist--demands
something from the citizen-his trade.
We sometimes wonder how many
citizens use this town to the greatest
possible advantage to themselves.
Suppose everybody looked upon
the town as an organization designed
especially to contribute to his COM
forts, his progress and his happiness.
What has it to offer that he must
have in order to be happy and con-
tented, and that he can not secure

Town is Community Center

Everybody nowadays, farmers and
townspeople, are working together
in preserving and developing their
communities. This is logical result
of modern conditions, for there has
hardly been time in the history of
the United States when this kind Of
cooperation has been more needed
than at present. In the pioneer days
the town was little more than place
to trade, but it was indispensable for
that purpose alone. The modern
town is not only the trading center
of the community but it is its social
and educational center as well.
Some citizens have sometimes
overlooked or underestimate the
importance of the social advantages
afforded by the small country town
that would be wholly unsupplied if
not provided by the town. Local
trade and commerce produce and
retain wealth and prosperity where
that trade is carried on--in the rural
community. AS wealth accumulates
in community every citizen in the
communicable especially the
property owners benefited. Where
money is in circulation money may
be acquired, wealth may be accum.
ulated.
Town and community are moi
made prosperous by the money thai
is sent away, but by the money thai
is spent at home. The best possible
way, in fact the only practical way
to make this community more pros
porous is to make it more populous
we must have more people RICH
here to consume what we produc,
and sell. So far as the wealth ant
prosperity of the community ar
concerned, they will be promoted a
directly by the purchase and con
sumption OF what is sold, as by TIL
consumption of what is produces
here. In other words things mus
be bought here and the money pro
duced in the community must b
spent and used here if the communi
ty is to prosper as it should.
Town and community are nc
mere accidental features of the land
scape; they are indispensable factor
in producing not only the highes
but the only known civilization. TIL
human race can as conveniently dis
pense with houses as with commun
ties. Man is social animal and tn
community is but development {
mans social instincts. OF course tn
community can be destroyed, tn
rural town can be wiped off the mar
but not without a serious loss t
civilization. The fact that som
persons are so shortsighted as
ignore the necessity of the commun
ty organization. does not make tn;

Boost Reservation Land.

A list Of Indian hcirship and
non-competent Indian lands of
1926 tracts is posted in the local
post office. The tracts offered are
scattered over the entire Standing
Rock reservation, and the land will
at this time be sold on payments Of
one fourth down, one fourth in two
years, one fourth in four years and
one fourth in six years, with defer
red payments drawing only six per
cent. interest. All previous sales Of
Indian lands on Standing Rock have
been for cash only, and now that
this land can be bought on good
terms it is expected that more &C.
tual settlers will take advantage Of
these land sales, and make their
home on the land bought. 1t will
also prove a good thing for the men
who want to file on homcsteads
when the reservation opens, as u
good many will be able to take a
homestead and buy adjoining lands
on easy terms. Mcbride Bulletin.

Will Furnish Seed
To Indian Farmers
Indian Office Arranging to Furnish
Seed to Indian Farmers.--Large
Increased Acreage Expected

Superintendent Covcy OF the
Standing Rock Agency, has asked
for authority to buy about $4,000
worth OF seed to issue to Indians OF
the reservation i'm the same manner
as the various counties made seed
grain loans" to llonlcstcaders dur
ing the dry years. Indian having
money to their credit will be rcquir-
cd to pay the cost OF the seed at the
time Of issue. while others without
means agree tn repay after crop re-
turns in the fall.
The estimate calls for wheat, oats,
barley, corn, f|ax, alfalfa; also
potatoes, cabbage. beans, onions
and other vegetables. The amount
of seed issued to each individual
will depend on the number OF acres
he has ready for crop. The flax
seed will be issued to Indians who
break new ground this spring. 1t
is umdcrstoud that in Cannonlmll
district about 700 acres will bc
broken and seeded to flax according
present plans.
The farmers of the different dis
tricts met here in january at which
time the amount of various kinds
OF seed required was estimated.
Authority to buy the seed was asked
for following the meeting i'm order
that there be no delay in securing
the seed in time for early distribu-
ton. 1t is hoped to have the seeds
ready for issue in ample time to
permit the Indian farmer to do his
planting at the right season. II
this is done there is no question but
what the Indian will keep pace with
his white brother across the river in
the matter of raising crops.
1t must not be understood that
all the Indians will be issued seed.
Many Of them who farm extensively
have plenty seed from last years
crop, and nearly all families have
their own seed potatoes. Ben White
alone has about 600 bushels of po-.
tatocs on hand.

The Standing Rock
Opening Not Fixed
Date For Opening Standing Rock Re.
servation Delayed Until State Land.
Are Selected, Latest Report

Washington, March 15.---Al-
though various reports have been
sent out indicating dates when the
Standing Rock Indian reservation
in North and South Dakota would
be opened for entry, it is stated by
officials of the department OF the
interior that no date has yet been
fixed.
The opening OF the lands for en-
try was authorized by the act of
Feb. IA, 1913, which provides f,r
the opening of the surplus and un-
allotted lands under the general
provisions OF the homestead and
townsitc laws. 1t is said that many
Of the most desirable tracts have
been allotted to Indians. The price
of lands entered or filed upon with
in three months after the same shall
have been opened for settlement
Ialld entry will be $500 per acre,
after the expiration OF three months
and within six months after such
opening for settlement the price
will be $3.50 per acre. and for all
lands entered after the expiration
I!of six months the price will be s.. 80
per acre.
1t also provides that the land
may be declared subject to entry
without a registration. 1t is the
present intention of the land depart
mcnt to do away with the rrgistra-
ton system and instead have the
entries for the lands made in lust
the same manner as entries for any
vacant public lands. Ii this plan
is followed those who desire to
make entry for lands upon the
Standing Rock Indian reservation
should make their filings at the
Bismarck, North Dakota, land office
for specific tracts of land.
The states Of North and South
| Dakota are entitled to make selcc-
ffss;sh.. within the Standing Rock In
didm reservation in lieu of sections
16 and &c, where those sections
have been lost to the states by rca-
son OF Indian allotmcnts or other
wise. These lieu selections have
not yet been made, but lists have
been prepared by the general land
office and are being forwarded to
the proper state authorities.
1t is the hope OF the officials of
the general la"d office to have the
opening occur on May 10, and all
arrangements have been made to do
so with the exception Of action by
the states Of North and South Dako-
ia to make lieu selections of school
land. AS soon as the states take
action the president will be asked
to open the reservation by procla-
nation, which will prescribe the
time when and the manner in which
the lands may be entered upon.
Evidently there is wide interest
in the opening of the Standing Rock
Indian reservation, as a: great many
letters have been written upon the
snbject to Representative Young OF
North Dakota, and Martin of South
Dakota.
