THE ALIEN AND THE WAR

IL we are to allow the japanese and
Iindu and other aliens to come TO
Imperial county to buy and lease
our land and raise crops and wax
cich; if we are to register them for
war service and count them in oar to-
tal, why are we then compelled to
exempt them and fill their places with
men from our farms whose places as
wealth producers will in turn be taken
BY the men who by virtre Of being
aliens slip out Of war service?
1t is law. but it is not justice. The
man who comes here and stays here
year after year and enjoys all the
blessings of liberty and freedom should
pay the price of liberty. The man who
is on an equality in the accretion OF
wealth with any American citizen.
ought to compelled to do his hit in
the American army or pack his trunk
and seek safety whence he came.
The Japanese are and have been
raising "a great huilabaloo about the
anti-land laws, yet of the hundreds
registered here in the Valley we find
just two who are willing to help per
petuate the freedom of the country by
bearing arms.
Apparently our money just suits
these and other aliens, but our flag
don't seem to be to their liking. We
aae a good people 10 work for and with
hlt moi good enough to fight for. Thsre
is something radically wrong about
the whole system.

everybody who wants to i've here and
join in making the country great and
doing their duty as residents, if not
as citizens. There are lot Of objec-
tions that can be raised to these state
ments technically, such as non-citizen-
ship ana discriminating laws and al
that, but the bald fact remains thar
they are here and enjoying our pro
lection and our liberty and our free
dom and paying less Price for it all

MlLITARISTIC PEACE TALK

As the militarists rule Germany
we suspect that peace talk is being
emo eyed At theif .ehest as a psyche
logical weapon.
They have not been content merely
to fight this war on the battlefield.
Their spies were at work long before
the war, sowing disloyalty and dissen-
sion in each Of the countries marked
for attack. When they aim at a
reighbor's destruction they first un-
desnaine its morale. When fighting
has begun they seek to deprave 1t still
further by using the device known as
f1ightfulness. As the war proceeds
they employ peace talk at intervals
for much the same purpose. Ihere Is
always chance that some faint

THRIFT THOUGHTS
Spread the Meat Flavor

Spread the meat flavor and so econ
onlize on the amount Of meat con-
sumed, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture. Here is one
way to utilize leftover meat by
spreading it's flavor.
Meat and Bread-Crumb Cakes
To four parts of chopped or ground
meat, add one part Of soaked bread
crumbs, small quantity of chopped
onion and salt and pepper to taste,
Mix and form into small round cakes.
Brown the cakes in butter or other
fat, turning them.
Raw ground meat may be used. II
so the pan should be covered SO that
greater heat will be applied.

FROM OLD STRAW

! A Kansas farmer noticed that when
his chickens were turned loose they
made bee line for the old strawstack
and spent the day scratching happily.
He Investigated, and found wheat
mine, which he decided was of paying
quality, He had the stack thrsehed
over again, and was rewarded with
$50 bushels of grain, which he sold
at $3.50 a bushel.
As a result of that experiment,
threshing crews have been busy the
I asst spring and summer all through
the wheat sections of the West.
"Threshing outfits" have been going
from fran to farm, running the straw
through their machines and taking
their pay. as q rule, in the form Of
half the grain recovered. Both they
and the farmers have made money,
and there has been an appreciable
addition to the country's wheat sup.
ply.
This sort of conservation is some
thing new in America. Our farming
operations, like most of our other
activities, have been conducted on q
careless and wasteful basis. We are
just learning the rudiments of real
thrift. This secord threshing is richly
suggestive of possibilities in many
lines of agriculture and manufacture.
We may have incalculable wealth, now
unuti,ized. merely awaiting d new
threshing of the old straw.

the allied countries will graon, 80
why not end it now and stop this
needless slaughter That disinte-
CRATES morale. OF all known tricks
for weakening the enemy, it is the

GAME LAW CHANGES
ARE CONSIDERED

Boise, Feb. IO.-The govern
ment bureau of fisheries is ask
ing the state of Idaho to enact
legislation to give it greater
rights to the use Of streams for
hatcheries and for the purpose Of
Ash propagation. The informa-
ton regarding the legislation de-
sired came in a letter to Gov.
Alexander and was turned over to
the senate committee.
Federal hatcheries have al
ready been established in Idaho
and the additional expenditures to
be made by the government will
be delayed until the required
laws have been enacted. The
federal government asks the un-
restricted right to build and
maintain traps and hatcheries for
Ash propagation and the laws de-
sired are only to avoid conflicts
between state and federal rights.
Much attention is being given
10 nsh and game protection and
propagation by the legislature.
The present laws will not be
greatly disturbed but the COM
mittee measure turns over to the
respective counties the funds de-
rived from the sale of licenses
and charges the sheriff's Office
with the enforcement of the fish
and game laws. No change is
made in the Office Of state game
warden. The proposed measure
increase the fees to be charged
for nonresident hunting and
fishing licenses.
There are also changes in the
bag limit on the different varie-
ties Of game birds and there is a
strong sentiment in favor of ell
iminating the buck law. The
proposed change would allow the
killing Of one deer, male or fe-
male, in a season.

MAKE CHANGE IN
LAND PAYMENTS

Washington. Feb. 1t-Con-
gresham Smith of Idaho has Sc
cured the passage of the bill re-
storing to the public domain land
donated to the city of Twin Falls
for reservoir purposes, which
the municipality abandoned as
not being suitable for the par
pose.
He also secured the passage of
the bill introduced by Senator
Borah to simplify the procedure
in the issuing Of patents and fl
nal water right certificates for
lands in reclamation projects by
requiring that all payments shall
be made at the time of final proof
instead of at the time of the is
suance of patent. The enact
ment of this law will meet a diff
nculty which has confronted the
interior department in many
cases and avoid much unneces-
sary delay in conducting CORE
spondence. The enactment Of
the bill was strongly recOmmed-
ed by the secretary of the inter
ior.
The house also has passed a
senate bill providing that home
steaders under the general law
who have acquired title to less
than 100 acres through the
| homestead laws shall be permit
ted to acquire land under the en-
larged homestead act to the ex-
tent of twice the amount to
which they would be entitled un-
der the general law permitting
additional entries. This will en-
able hOmesteaders on reclama-
ton projects who have proved uI
on 40, 80 or i2O acres the priv
lege of entering land under the
enlarged homestead act to the
amount of twice the number OF
acres remaining under their or
! iginal entry.

COMPENSATION BILL
WINS FIRST CONFLICT

Boise, Idaho, Feb. iO.-The
Bates compensation bill, ap-
proved by the workingmen's or
carnations Of the state, has been
successful in the first conflict in
the legislature. 1t was amend
ed by its authors, Bates of Ada
and Grice of Shoshone, in the
committee of the whole and rec
commended back for passage by a
close majority vote. Several
republicans voted for the bill and
five democrats voted against the
measure.
The bill as amended retains
the monopolistic state insurance
feature, but it was amended to
leave out the occupational dis
ease feature. It's authors ex-
planned that it was hoped later
Legislature would amend it so
that this feature would be in
cluded.
Representative Kiger of KoO-
tenai county thinks the bill is
demonstrations as now present
ed. He has proposed an amend
ment to the constitution. He
does not think we'll of some of
the provisions Of the bill, but was
not strongly opposed to it.
Representative Kribs Of ShO-
shone spoke against the bill. He
is opposed to the principle of
state insurance and favOrs the
Montana law Mr.. Kiger and
Mr.. Kribs also object to a board
having so much control, and con-
shutting, as Mr.. Kiger said on the
floor, 1.-The attorney, court, prose-
cutor and jury"
Both Mr.. Bates and Mr.. Grice
made extended arguments in fav-
OF of the bill. Mr.. Grice spoke
lin favor of an indefinite and ex-
tended payment of the benefits
instead of a lump sum being paid
as provided in other bills. Indebt-
edness to the bills previously
passed by Washington and Bri-
fish Columbia is acknowledged
on the part of the authors of the
bill. The vote In favor of the
bill came as a surprise to those
who had opposed it.

against the motion to indefinite

eliminated. This amendment
was offered by Hill and was sup
