In addition to the replacement of in

kinds, overgrazing is indicated by the
presence of dead or partly dead
stumps of palatable shrubs such as
willow, snowberry and bitterbush.
Overgrazing is also indicated by dam
age done to tree reproduction which
is ordinarily moderately palatable to
stick. Baroness and serious erosion
are, of course, the final result of
continued overgrazing.

the most valuable for forage for all

plants differ widely in form of growth

to develop undisturbed
On the high forest ranges of the in

constitute not only the highest type
and most permanent type of vegeta-

are probably the most valuable.
When this type of vegetation is ov-

HITCHCOCK is NOW
READY TO COMPROMISE

Senator Hitchcock says he is
strongly in favor of compromise
now. Why wasn't he strongly in
favor of it when the treaty was be-
fore the senate in committee of the
whole and compromise was in order
and thoroughly practicable? The
Nebraska senator expresses a regret
strangely at odds with his attitude
during the long treaty struggle.
What was the main obstacle to an
agreement on form of ratification
which could have been supported by
sixty-four senator's? Looking back
most fair-minded men will agree that
it was Mr.. Hitchcock or the principal
whose agent he was. Nearly every
member of the mild reservationist
group has testified that the Demo-
cratic leader wouldn't discuss com
promise with them. He took the
stand originally that ratification
should be unconditional. He banked
appeal to the nation.
Mr.. Hitchcock now talks of COM
promise. But the majority of the
friends of the treaty have put them
selves clearly on record. The minor
ity has not. 1t must expect to con-
cede moro than it would have had to
concede in the earlier stages of the
discussions. An agreement need not
be despaired of. Yet 1t can be OBJ
tanned only if the minority frees it.
self from dependence on outside
Judgments. Until the Democratic
senator's begin to speak and act for
themselves there will be little hope
of that union of forces which will

1t is not improbable, according to

MANY IDAHO TEACHERS
ARE Jumping THEIR JOBS'


Because Idaho school teachers, in
many instances poorly paid, are COM
PEELED to lead a hand-to-mouth ex-
istence, the state faces a probable
pedagogical dearth, says the Boise
Statesman. Figures bearing out this
discovery are contained in first re-
ports received at the state depart
ment of education in a statewide sur
vey of teachers expenses inaugural
ed recently.
These figures bear upon teachers
expenditures and show what Idaho
school ma'ams are forced to pay in
their various communities for such
items as board, rooms, clothing, etc.
They were requested by Miss Ethel
e. Redfield, state superintendent of
public instruction, so that the state
might be advised of actual living con-
dtions in order to treat intelligently
upon wage controversies, etc.
Many Idaho teachers are receiving
as little as $85 a month. Some of
these find board and room alone
take up $65 of their months income.
leaving scant balance of $40 for
clothing, recreation, incidental ex-
penses, etc.
The teachers of some Idaho coun-
ties, all too few in the opinion of a
state educational officials, are paid a
minimum of 800 a month and are
able to live somewhat easier. But
the reports coming in to the capitol
indicate that, even for the 800
group, existence is struggle.
AS "a result Of these conditions, it
is found that the teaching profession
does not appeal strongly to those
who have previously chosen it and
one by one teachers are dropping
from the lists. Many of them are
leaving, too, during school seasons
and regardless of their contracts.
Those who take such a step.
though often driven by the neces-
sity Of increasing their incomes are
doubly unfortunate because the state
has an inexorable rule that breach of
contract is cause for revocation of a
teachers license. Thus they find
that the teaching profession in the
state becomes Immediately closed to
them.
