indians Saved Wild Game.

Long before the first white man
set foot in America, the conserva-
tion of certain natural resources
was most carefully practiced among
the Indian tribes of what is now
the northeastern part of the United
States, as Prof. Crank G. Speck
of the University of Pennsylvania
was first to show. To the Indian,
Professor Speck we'll says, there
was no wilderness. Trackless to
the whites, to him all the land was
known. and within the limitations
set by his knowledge of natural
resurces all of it was used.
Among the Algonkian tribes
each family-in our own sense of
the term, a group of relatives
owned a hunting ground of its
own, usually of from two hundred
to four hundred square miles in
area, within which their right to
kill game was exclusive and su-
preme. The boundaries of this
hunting ground were determined
by rivers, lakes, ridges, or other
natural features. In some regions
however, the boundaries were
marked by signs blazed on the
trees, or by cutting figures in
bark representing the animal en-.
blem of the owner.
At times the shape of the family
hunting ground was determined
by the local distribution of game
animals. Thus i1 might extend
from the lower lands where moose

forest districts) in a long narrow
strip to the higher regions de-
nuded by fires where bear were to

Well, get ready to dig. State
Auditor Preus has announced the
state tax rate for the next year
and its a whopper. The rate as
certified to all county auditors. by
Mr.. Preus, is $40 mills, the high
est in the history of the State.
Following the close of the Civil
war, a rate of six mills was IN
effect, but succeeding Legislatures
by a course of economy reduced
that figure to as low as ~ mills
in 1910, which was the low level
for the state. Since then the fig
ures have been increasing, and
eliminated last week in the bigh
figure of $40 mills as certified by
Auditor Preus. The new tax rate
includes 5.67 miols to cover ap-
preparations made by the present
legislature and. 2.43 mills Inherited
from previous legislatures. What
the, you probably exclaim,
show me. Well, the present leg
islature at its regular and special
sessions authorized expenditures
totalliog close to $66, 600, 900. and
some one will simply have to pay
the bill. No ole hollered and the
members took it for granted that
everybody was agreeable. Under
the head of state expense q total
expenditure of over $32 ,OOO,O 600
for the two years was authorized.
The University management de-
clared it simply could not get
along with less than $4,000, 600
for building purposes. Then there
was nearly 100000 for relief
growing out of various calamities
and to top it all. the legislature at
its late special session kicked in

Society Of American In-
dianS Holds Successful
Conference at Mime
apo|is.

VpVSuVS
The Eight Annual Conference OF
the Society of American Indians
which held its sessions at Mime
apolis, October I'd, Sd, and 4th,
was, in many respects most
notable and representative gather
ing as we'll as decided successful
occasion. They came from all
points of the com pass, the college
bred man, the professional man,
the business man, the Carlisle and
Hampton graduate and large
number from the lower walks of
life, but all bent and absorbed in
the one great fundamental princi-
pie of American citizenship for
Indians; self determination, in
other words in Government for,
of and BY the people, condemna'
ton of segregated policies, etc.,
The Indians are heartily tired of
being bullied and threatened into
doing things their judgement does
not approve. They are weary of
the depressing dominance and de-
moralizing tendencies of undemo-
cratic policies. They have meekly
stood by for these many years in a
mo mans land" position, help
lessly, witnessing the gradual de-
pletion and squanderin9 Of their
once princely heritage until it has
dwindled down to a mere cipher.
Most of these appropriations were
obtained under the Classification"
of and ''for the relief and civiliza-
ton" of this and that tribe of In
dams; the tribe having the biggest
amount to their credit in the q. S.
Treasury being invariably repre-
sented as being most in need of
"relief and civilization' and we're
called upon to bear the heaviest
burden of such unjust taxation.
Notorious facts of poverty and
degradation were reported to ex
ist among some of the western
tribes and who were practically
termed '')and poor," Indians who
held title to thousands of acres of
rich grazing lands but who have
been and are now deprived of ::em
ploying these vast fertile acres to
their individual benefits for the
reason that under existing rules
and regulations" these lands are
leased by the government to rich
cattle men who are annually grow
ing richer and richer while the
Indian is growing poorer and
poorer, and several instances were
related by competent authority
present 1t the Conference where
Indian men and women, the
poorer and older members, had
been seen ''rsvenously devourine
carriou by the road side" while the
favored contractor, the lessor Of
these Indian grazing lands, we're
feastiDg and accumlating fortunes
at the expense of Americas frs,
citizens. many of them having
furnished sons to fight, and die il
need be, for humanity and world
democracy and to make the world
a safe place to live in.

Lee Says Covenant
Assures Red Gross
World Health Plan
Major, Assistant to Chair
man Davidson, Arrives
Home With Optimistic
Report OH Activities

Ivy Lee, a major of the Red Gross,
who went abroad in December as an
assistant to Henry P. Dawson, chair
man Of the war council, arrived here
yesterday on the White Star liner Bal
tic with an optimistic report on the
outlook for the organizations world
wide peace activities.
The most promising assurance of the
Red Cross's future usefulness. he said,
lies in the fact that the revised league
of nations covenant provides for it's
peace activities.
CLAUSE XIV" said Mr.. Lee. was
inserted at the instance of a committee
Of which Mr.. Dawson was chairman,
representing the Red Cross organiza-
tions of the United States. Great Brit
ain. France, Italy and Japan. Presi
dent Wilson and Colonel House were
particularly interested in this clause.
"Many of the national Red Cross or
ganizations have been confined by their
charters to works Of war, and without
the new clause would have been un-
able 10 engage in the new field of ac-
tivlties without obtaining new national
charters.
The conference OF specialists which
met at Cannes, France, on April l
drew up programmes which might be
recommended to the peoples of the
world through their Red Cross socie-
ties toward the prevention and cure of
tuberculosis, malaria. venercai disease
and also efforts in the fields Of nursing
infant welfare and general public
health and hygiene
"The plan now being developed is tc
set up an organization with hcadquar-
ters at Geneva and in close coopera.
tlon with the league of nations. Undc,
the plan the Red Cross organization II
each country remains absolutely au-
tonomous.
Another feature of great import.
ance is the expectation that through
the newly-created international organ,
ization all the nations will be able
promptly to alleviate suffering in cases
of pestilence, famine, or other forms Of
acute distress.
"The whole world is being aroused
as never before over the Importance Of
human health. And it is believed that
this plan to mobilize the volunteer e.
forts of people everywhere on behalf Of
the welfare of humanity will make the
league Of nations not alone a prevent
i've of war, but an active agent pro
noting the welfare of mankind in
peace"

Considerable discussion was aroused
by letter which Glassberg had signed
among others that was published in
"The Call" for March %, 1919. which
demanded reorganization of the
American Socialist party, and CON
demnation of moderate Socialists"
and social patriots" In answer to a
question, Glassberg said men like
Scheidemann and Ebert were meant to
be classified in that manner.
Glassberg then said. in answer to
questions, that he had based his state
ment that Lenine and Trotzky were not
reading newspaper stories in The Trib-
une. "The Times" and "Nation" and
"New Republic" which stated that
both these men had by means of propa-
ganda undermined the morale of the
German army and thus indirectly
brought on the revolution.

of the board interrupted to ask, care

Human Bones Found
In Paris s'Death Villa''

PARIS. May 8.-Calcined human
bones are said to have been discovered
by the police in the villa at Gambass,
owned by Henri Landru, who is under
arrest on suspicion of being able to ex-
plain the disappearance of several
women in the recent past. According
to the police, the trunks of the women
were burned in the furnace Of the villa
and their limbs were burned in the
fireplace of the house.
The authorities found a mass of
stones piled against wall of the villa.
These stones evidently belong to fur
mace and clinging to them, it is said,
were found bits of melted glass, in
which were pieces of bones, which ply
sicians have declared to be human.
These bones are alleged to include three
fragments Of human skulls.
