STOCK GROWERS FACE

Rural Spirit Proposes Scheme for
Disposition Of Public Lands
Need Protection.

The livestock situation In western
states is much confused because OF
the uncertainty regarding the future
OF the public domain. Under our
public land laws. a homesteador may
take up $40 acres OF government land
and by living thereon for three years,
secure title thereto, During the past
few years, many millions OF acres
have been taken by homesteaders.
which has greatly limited the area
left for grazing sheep and cattle.
Naturally, the land taken has been
the best grazing land, Some OF this
and has been found valuable for rails
ing dry land crops, but much OF IL
was valuable only for grazing. and
an attempt 10 crop 1t has brought
disaster TO many.
No one can find any objection to
the homesteaders taking every acre
of land that can by any possibility
support him and his family in a de-
cent manner, but the public that de-
pends on these range lands for its
future supply OF meat and wool has
right TO mist that lands only valua-
BILE for grazing be devoted 10 that
purpose.
In the western states, there re-
mains about 27O.O0O. 900 acres of un-
appropriated government land. All
of this land has been open TO settle
ment since the beginning, and natur-
ally that which remains is the very
poorest of all, that which no one
would have. These lands are large
ly desert or rough, broken rocky
areas and have a very low annual
rainfall.
AS a grazing proposition II would
require approximately fifty acres to
support a cow a year. or seven to
eight acres to support a sheep. I'm
der existing land laws these lands
can never be settled, and congress
seems TO want all these lands in pri-
vate ownership at an early date. To
secure this end. IT has been proposed
TO enlarge the homestead from S2O
acres to $40 acres. But a 64O-acre
homestead is still far too small to
support a family, and its enactment
would simply destroy our range live

II these lands are to be disposed of
to the homesteader. common decency
demands that he be given enough
land so that he can reasonably ex-
pect TO make a fair living. To do
this would require that the home
steads range In size from 1 1850 acres
up TO 6,400 acres on the poorer lands.
This would necessarily mean that the
government would first have to clas-
sify the land, which ought to be done
anyhow. But congress would never
consent to give this land away in this
manner. 80 Il In idle TO discuss the

This would relieve these farmers OF

with which to develop their lands.
After this was done, $500. O.OOO, 900

half OF this should be devoted to

SAYS STATE NEEDS
new NORMAL SCHOOL
Portland Newspaper Man Touring
State for Initiative Bill for
Pendlcton School.

Fred Lockley, a special writer for
the Oregon Journal OF Portland. Is
in town in the interests OF the pro-
posed Eastern oregon state normal
school at Pendleton. "The pioneers
OF Oregon we're intensely interested
in education" said Mr.. Lockley.
"They gave. and gave generously,
that Oregon should be in the fore
front along educational lines but we
cannot keep abreast OF the best II
we depend on inexperienced and un-
trained teachers. The old saying
that he who would teach must first
Be taught" still holds true. oregon
has but one normal school, located NJ
Monmouth. and Il is unable TO sup
ply more than n tenth OF the trained
teachers required In the public
schools OF oregon. Eastern Oregon
is the worst suffered from this scar
city OF properly equipped teachers as
the graduates OF the Monmouth nor
NAL school find positions In the
schools OF the Willamette valley.
Eastern oregon pays much higher
salaries than do the schools In west
ern oregon but In spite OF the high
salaries paid east OF the mountains
we do not secure normal graduates
as teachers.
"The cost OF the proposed Eastern
Oregon State Normal school will
ambunt to n tax OF one-twenty-fifth
OF a mill or four cents on each thous-
and dollars OF taxable property. Ey-
cry educator OF prominence in the
state is In favor OF more adequate
normal facilities and the people gen
orally. particularly in eastern oregon
favor such a school, The only thing
likely 20 defeat II will be the apathy
or Indifference OF the voters. Every
person opposed to Il will be sure TO
vote against II while many OF It's
well wishers will neglect TO record
vote In It's favor. Governor James
withycombe is strongly In favor OF
II so, too. are w. J. Kerr, president
of the o. A. c.. p. l.. Campbell, pres
ident OF the State University, J. II.

mouth normal school and J. A.

voices the sentiments OF the educators
when he says:
"oregon's greatest need for its ru-
raj schools is the teacher who has
had full preparation to do her work.
Such a preparation can best come
thru normal school training,
II trust that the voters OF the state
will assist in raising the standard OF
our schools by establishing a state
normal school at Pendleton. The To-
cation is central. the interest of the
people OF Pendleton in education
most excellent. and the large num-
ber Of pupils in the public schools
will give ample opportunity 10 all
students TO get the amount of teach
ing practice required in a standard
normal school"

BLOW DEALT BIRTH OF A

Columbus, Ohio, June 24-The Su.
preme Court today dismissed the case
of the Epoch Producing Company of
New York against the Industrial Com
mission of Ohio in which the right OF
the company to exhibit THE Birth of
a Nation, a moving picture play de-
plotting conditions in the South follow

The Court held its decision on the
case would be unnecessary, because a
case involving the same question is
now pending in the Federal Court
here.
The Ohio Board of MovingPicture
Censors, part of the Industrial Com
mission, rejected the film play, de-
claring it was conducive of race pre-
judice.
Attorney General Turner says he
will file motion forthwith in the
State Supreme Court, asking that it
reconsider its action in Diminishing, the
case and set the case down for hearing
or its merits. II this motion is re-

WEAK KIDNEYS MAKE WEAK
BODIES
Kidney Diseases Cause Many Aches
and Ills of MaysviIle People.

AS one weak link weakens a chain,
so may weak kidneys weaken the
whole body and hasten the final
breaking-down.
Overwork, strains, colds and other
causes injure the kidneys and gener-
ally when their activity is lessened the
whole body suffers.
Aches and pains and languor and
urinary ills frequently come, and there
is an ever-increasing tendency to-
wards dropsy, gravel or fatal Bright's
disease. When the kidneys fail there
is no real help for the sufferer except
kidney help.

the kindeys. Maysville testimony is
proof of their effectiveness.
