The Automobile Blue Book rakes I'D
some early American history. Man
kato. Minnesota. in pioneer days was
the domain of the Sioux Indians In
1862. this tribe, according to the tour
bible. became dissatisfied with the
slowness Of the Government In having
their annuities. Taking advantage Of
the fact that the Civil War had taken
so many men from the country. the
Sioux inaugurated one of the blood
lest ruassacres in the history of
indian warfare. The indians were
ultimately overcome by troops and 400
of them sentenced to death or impris-
onment in Mankato. However, preaI-
dent Lincoln commuted the sentece OF
all but thirty-one. One OF these died
and the other thirty-eight were
hanged from one scaffold on the
ievee in Mankato. The spot is now
marked by a monument.
Ever hear that a tea-burninr eni-
sode. similar to the well known Bos-
tnn Tea Party took place In iT7f AZ
Greenwich. New Jersey? The Auto
mobile Blue Book says so and adds.

JONES WOULD PAY PUBLIC
DEBT IN INSTALLMENTS

The Secretary Of the Treasury IS
called upon in a measure introduced
by Representative Jones Of Texas 10
inform Congress as to the total and
the unpaid war debt Of the nation
and what sum would be required each
year for principal and interest to re-
tire this de btin equal annual pay
ments extending over a period Of from
forty TO sixty years.
The measure was referred TO the
Ways and Means Committee. which
has jurisdiction over financial legisla-
ton
Jones' inquiry is along lines Of a
speech delivered in the House last
week in which he suggested that the
war debt be paid in small install
ments extended throughout a period
of forty to sixty years. He urged that
the sum is so great that the entire
burden should not be assumed by the
taxpayers during the next few years.
