Der is going to be iusistent.
France and Belgium, wher for

building, will call for enormous
quantities Of it for hasty rehabil-

GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES
AND STRIKES

One of the pleasures Of being
an employee Of the government
under public ownership plans is
that strokes are forbidden.
Director General McAdoo warns
, the telegraphers that under gov
eminent operation Of telegraphs
and telephone strikes must 90.
He says: you are now work
ing for the government and no
strike has ever. occurred against
the government" Except in
shipyards, etc.
1t was impossible to announce
a decision of the War Wage Board
on the demands of the telegraph
ers and so he asked them to wait.
The theory that government
employees cannot strike has not
been found true in other countries,
as for instance England and
France.
President Wilson and Director
McAdoo deserve commentator
fer reprimanding threatening
strikers and the rule may be es-
tablished.
1t is a fact that postal employees
and city, county and state and
federal employees, or job-holders
have never gone on strike.

LEGISLATURE REFORMS

The people are demanding a
higher standard of service in the
state legislature if that branch Of
the government is to enjoy re-
spect.
BY the system known as direct
legislation the.people showed that
they distrusted legislatures as
such, but that system has not
worked well.
The people have q right to de-
mand greater efficiency and less
waste by legisIatures-less lost
motion and less rash enactment
Of laws.
Before legislature takes up
and enacts a new law imposing a
| tax or creating burdens affecting
all the people such law should be
asked for by some one besides
those interested in putting it over.
The old order Of business, pet
itions and remoustrances" that
was established as a regular feat
ure of legislative business should
I be revived and no law passed un=
til petitions for it are on file.
In the same way, having one or
two professional lobbyists, gener-
ally publishers from some big
ity, make headquarters at the
state house and take personal
charge Of the legislature is wrong.
Americans should also rise
above the petty practices of ne
potism that manifests itself in
taking members Of their families
to the state capitol and getting
them fat sinecmes during the scs-
sion.
If this is to be a country with
opportunity for all alike to get to
the front, in peace times as we'll
as war, and if politically we are
all created free and equal, let our
legislatures set a new pace.

D|ETz AGAIN INDICTED
BY FEDERAL JURY
Former Pullman Coach Again Arrest
ed Following Disagreement of Jury
New Charge in Two Counts

Following the disagreement and
discharge of the jury Thursday in
the case of William H. Clone Starr
Dietz, football coach and movie
actor, charged with Justification I'M
der the draft act, Dietz was again
indicted Thursday afternoon by the
federal grand jury. About the time
the indictment was reported into the
federal court Dietz appeared at the
office of United States Marshal j.
Il, McGovern and was arrested on a
warrant issued under the new in
dictment The bond of $1,000 that
secured the release of Dietz in the
old case, filed last January, was al
lowed to continue.
The new indictment is in two
counts, the same as the old one, the
first covering Dietz's registration
ard the second his answers to the
QUESTIONABLE. The indictment diff
fers from the one in the first case
in that it does not alege that Dietz
is white man. 1t alleges he is a
natural born American citizen in
stead of being noncitizen Indian
as he stated in his registration card
The other difference is the inclusion
OF Dietz's request for an exemption
as the sole manager and director of
a necessary war enterprise known as
the American Indian Film corpora
ton of Spokane. which was alleged
to be employing 3 or more people.
Reference to the film corporation
was ruled out of the recent trial be-
cause it was not covered by the first
Indictment
The jury in the Detz case was
discharged at 10 o'clock Thursday
morning in the federal court after
nearly 20 hours of deliberation.
Mere than a dozen ballots were TAX
ell, the first standing nine for az
qlittal and three for conviction. On
tho fifth ballot, taken after more
than three hours, the vote stood eight
for acquittal to four for conviction
BGlloting continued at intervals dur
ing the night until before breakfast
the vote was six TO six. After break
fast the preference of the jury
changed to eight for acquittal to four
fer conviction where it stood when
the jury entered the courtroom with
Il request for discharge.
According to members OF the jury
tie testimony of the officers of the
marines from Mare Island saying
they had approved Dietz's question
naire, was a strong point in his favor,
The question of good faith based up
Oh the claim of Dietz that he be-
lieyed he told the truth when he
signed the statements in the ques-
tionnaire also operated in his favor,
particularly in view of the instruc-
tions of the court telling the jury
to discharge Dietz II they were con-
WINGED that he really believed all of
the Indian claims he made in his
QUESTIONABLE.
Things that operated against Dietz
were his claim in the QUESTIONABLE
that he spoke the Sioux language
when proof was presented that he
only spoke word or two; his claim
that Sally Eagle Horse was his sis
ter and his professions of affection
for her and his failure to visit her
when within close range of the Pine
Ridge Indian reservation on two oc-
casions.

EAT LESS MEAT

Take a Glass of Salts to Flush Kid
neys if Bladder BOthers YOU
Drink lots of Water.

Eating meat regularly eventually
produces kidney trouble in some form
Or other, says a well-known authority,
because the uric acid in meat excites
the kidneys, they become overworked;
get sluggish; clog up and cause all
kinds of distress, particularly back
ache and misery in the kidney region;
rheumatic twinges, severe headaches,
acid stomach, constipation, torpid
liver, sleeplessness, bladder and urin-
airy irritation.
The moment your back hurts or
kidneys aren't acting right, or if
bladder bothers you, get about four
ounces of Jad Salts from any good
pharmacy; take a tablespoonful in a
glass Of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
