DR.. w. r. Crewe, state veterinarian
issues the; following warning:
Parties purchasing stations should
take precautions to determine thai
animals are free from lrausnissabie
disease and unsoundness.
The North Dakota stallion law pro
vides that stations cannot be legally
used for public service if affected
with certain transmissable diseases
and unsoundness, which are specified
in the law; accordingly, an animal
that is refused a license on accoun,
Of unsoundness has little more value
than work horse. ..' e..
1t would appear that every precau.
tion should be taken to determine
that an animal is either licensed in
this state or eligible to license, be-
fore concluding the purchase.
The law requires that stations i'm
ported into this state must be ac-
companied By a certificate of sound
ness, but this is not the best of as.
surance that the animal can be IL
censed in this state. Purchasers
might better rely on the advice Of
their local veterinarian, if they have
one that is competent.
Recently stallion was shipped in.
to this state and sold for $4,000. The
stallion was accompanied by a Ger.
titicate of soundness. The purchas-
ers took him to their local veterinari-
an to have him examined for life in.

animal with four pronounced side
bones on both front feet: This con-

Now, if this examination had been
made before the purchase was con.

would not have been sold within this

FERRIS BILL
IS PASSED BY
LOWER HOUSE

Leases Public Lands Contain.
ing Water Power.
BILL HAD SUPPORT
OF PINCHoT AND OTHERS
Senate Takes Up Question Of Elk
tending Self Government to
Philippines.

Washington, Jan. S.-The house to-
day passed the Ferris bill. which
would throw open to 50-year leases
public lands containing more than
three times as much water power as
now is under development IN the
United States. 1t is estimated that in
the eleven states which it is proposed
to enter there are about 19,OO0,UOo
undeveloped horse power. 4
The bill is the result OF careiui
study by water power experts OF ali
parties. The 5O.year lease feature
had the support of Secretary of the
Interior Franklin X. Lane; his pre-
decessor, Walter l.. Fisher, and Glf.
ford Pinchot, former chief forester OF
the United States.
Mann Supports Measure.
Party lines were cast aside in vot-
ing on the measure today. Minority
Leader Mann was one of its strongest
supporters. Western republicans
fought it, insisting that leasing would
delay development of the sites.
Western senators are planning hard
fight on the measure in the senate.
Philippine Question.
Debate in the senate began today
on a bill to extend greater self
government to the Philippine Islands,
continued attacks on the measure by
Senators Sterling and Sherman and a
speech in it's defense by Senator
Williams. Senator Sterling declared
that too much self-government al
ready has been extended to- the Fill ~ I
pinus sfor their own good, and iSef'a-
tor Sherman said the United States
was morally obliged to continue it's
supervision OF the. islands until the
people arc unquestionably able to
manage their own affairs. Discussing
a suggestion that Japan might take
the islands if the United States gave
them up, Senator Williams declared
Japan would give them better gov
ernment than we can, because the
races understand each other better"
Universal Military Service.
Secretary Garrison told the house
military committee at hearing to-
day that compulsory service was the
only really adequate basis on which
to construct military policy COM
patible with democratic govern
ment.
The secretary made the assertion
merely as an expression OF personal
sentiment and he did not elaborate
on it. His statements were regarded
as significant, however, in view OF
the known belief OF many army otii-
GERS and war department officials
that the continental army proposals
in the administration preparedness
program naturally tend toward ultl-
mate universal service.
Suffrage Amendment. Il.
The Susan B. Anthony amendment
providing for wonan's suffrage was
reportedn favorably today. to the SEN
ate by tlie suffrage committee.
The report says that inasmuch as
the nation nearly half century ago
determined to restrict state authority
over the ballot by abolishing the dis
qualifications ao{ nGBEor,, there is no
reasons why sirs shotild not continue
this policy BY abolishing the disquali-
fication Of sex.

clared Dr.. John Grier Hibben, presi
dent of Princeton university, in an
address here today before the Re

These young men, he said. arc in a

military training they have received

rise and sunset is sheer nonsense and
that war would be simply butchering
