CARSON'S MESSAGE TO AMERICA

The Irish question is always in
teresting. While President De Valera
of the Irish republic" is here to raise
money and is greeted by enthusiastic
crowds, Sir Edward Carson, the Irish
unionist leader, is telling the United
States to mind it's own business. In
speech at Belfast he said:
"Heaven knows I want good feel
ing between America and this country.
l believe the whole future of the
world probably depends upon the rela-
tions between the United States of
America and ourselves, but 1 am not
going to submit to this kind of a cam
paign, whether for friendship or any
other purpose.
II seriously say to America today,
you attend to your own affairs; we
will attend to ours. You look after
your own questions at home; we will
look after ours. We will brook no
interference in our own affairs by any
country however powerful 1t is not

LADY BEATTYS RICHES COSTLY

An income of 100000 a year is
supposed to insure one from fear of
the wolf at the door. But not if one
lives in England and owns property
in the United States. Here is what
happens in the case of Lady Ethel
Beatty, wife of Admiral Sir David
Beatty of the British navy, and daugh-
ter of the late Marshall Field.
The British government takes 30
per cent of her income on the ground
that she is a British subject, being
married to a Briton. And the United
States government takes 60 per cent
because her property is in America.
Her income is known to be between
100000 and 100000 a year, because
it is only on incomes of that amount
that 60 per cent is levied
Say, then, that Lady Beatty draws
100000 a year from her property.
The British government takes $780,
900, the American government takes
$120,000, and her income is $4,000
less than nothing at all. If her income
ment taxes $4,000, the American COVE
pays $2S,O0O more than she gets.

exterminating rodents and predatory
wild animals, and in every case the
results are much more satisfactory and
less expensive than under the bounty
system. / have before me now par
tial report made by the men in charge
of this work in the southwestern part
of the country through the council OF
defense of the state of New Mexico.
'In the spring of 1918 the governor
Of the state authorized the use OF $25,-
600 from the fund known in our state
as the war fund, and under an agree
ment covering the plan for the cooper
ative work as executed. Under this
agreement $4,000 of this amount, in
conjunction with an equal amount by
the department Of agriculture, was set
aside and applied in reducing losses In
live stock due to predatory wild ami
mails, an increased force Of hunters
was placed in the field, trapping was
resorted to by this experiment; the
results have been very satisfactory.
estate hunters have total of 1872
days, at cost of $5,741.44. They have
taken 642 coyotes, 124 bob cats, IA
gray wolves, predatory bears, includ-
ing 8 grizzlies. The average cost Of
animals in June was $88.87; in July.
1888: August, $5.93. The government
operations in the state during the same
periods cost $9,225.7O, and resulted in
the killing Of AT coyotes, II bob cats,
Al gray wolves, 13 mountain lions, 2
bears. No reasonable estimate of DAM
age inflicted by predatory animals that
has been advanced can show anything
other than the return on this invest
ment of a very high rate Of interest.
The estimate generally accepted-and
If is conservative, indeed, in view Of
the present high value Of live stock
is that each gray wolf destroys an
nuaIly $1,000 worth Of live stock; each
mountain lion, $500; each coyote and
bob cat, $50 worth; predatory bears
NAV be rated in the same class with
wolves. On this basis the saving rep
resented in this cooperative work Is
nearly nine times the amount of ex-
penditure. Thus you will observe that
the estimated saving to the people Of
the nation, you might state, is $131 800,
at a cost of about $20,000."
While the facts presented by the
New Mexican representative are not
clearly arranged, they afford a glimpse
of the situation that prevails pretty
much all over the far West, and the
whole nation is interested, too, as Mr..
Hernandez said in closing:
1--WE are all interested in that in
dustry. We send our wool 100000
or 25,OOOOOO pounds-to the cities of
Philadelphia and Boston, so that those
merchants can have that product,
which will increase the employment
of their people. We send our meat to
the packing houses. All the American
people are interested in that. There

TARDIEU NEXT FRENCH PREMIER?

The report comes from Brest,
France, that Andre Tardieu will be the
next French premier. In that strong
hold of socialism the men who make
politics what it is in that end of
France predict the resignation of Pre-
mier Clemenceau before long.
Political gossip has it ''The Tiger"
will retire with colors flying. taking
no chances of asking the chamber of
deputies to vote its confidence in the
government. Much of this talk comes
from circles in which are the support
ers of Deputy Goude of Brest, member
of the extreme left who has led the
fights against Clemenceau.
This speculation is coincident with
the arrival here from the Black sea
of the French warship Justice. Now,
it was aboard the Justice that the
sailors mutinied in Sebastopol and IN
whose behalf Deputy Goude demanded
amnesty, lining up 1877 votes in sup

WOULD KEEP PRESIDENTS AT HOME

The president of the United States
would not be permitted, during his
term Of office, to leave the country or
to perform the duties of his Office ex-
cept at Washington, under bill intro
duced by Representative Campbell OF
Kansas, chairman of the house rules
committee. The bill's text follows:
"Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the United
States of America in congress assem-
bled, section /, that from and after
the passage of this act it shall be un-
lawful for the president of the United
States, during the term of his office,
to absent himself from the territorial
jurisdiction of the United States or to
perform the duties of his office at any
other place than at the seat of govern
ment established by the act for estab-
lishment Of the temporary and perma-
nent seat of government of the United
States, approved July 16, 1880, to
which this act is an amendment"

care how many animals were destroyed
by predatory beasts, because meat was
plentiful But since meat has become
all the way from $40 to $15, instead Of
from $1.5O to $3.50, we urge that the
department give us experts in cooper
alton with our own activities for the
determination of these pests"
1t is true that predatory wild ami
mails, like the mountain lion and wolf,
are expensive. The biological survey
is emphatic in it's statement that the
average gray wolf kills $1,000 worth
OF live stock a year, and a mountain
lion $500 worth. The coyote, which Is
the smaller prairie wolf, rivals his big
cousin in destruction. The biological
survey claims to have reduced the wolf
population of New Mexico by 260 In
dividuals in three years.
Incidentally, naturalists and sports
men will be interested in the state
ment by the biological survey that In
the Pecos mountain region bears have
been very destructive. The survey
uses these words:
0uAAA IuG ACCCAL SAdAAuS oC0SOM
bears killed approximately 125 head Of
valuable cattle In the Pecos region.
Similar damage in the Black range and
in the Mogollon mountain makes it evi-
dent that a total Of at least $50 head
of cattle as well as a large number of
sheep were killed by bears. These facts
are worthy Of consideration, in view
20 oAQ
now under way on the part of sports
men to enact legislation that will pre-
vent trapping Of bears or hunting them
with the aid Of dogs"
Naturalists and big game hunters
hold that bears seldom kill big game
or stock, and that when individual
bears get the stock killing habit 1t is
an acquired taste. Big-game hunters
holding these views have been active
in promoting state legislation for the
protection Of grizzly and black bears,
which otherwise are doomed to speedy
determination except in the national
parks, which are wild life sanctuaries.
Tie warfare against prairie dogs,
chipmunks and other rodents is less
exciting, but there is much more
money at stake. In New Mexico in
four summer months cooperative
work in exterminating prairie dogs
was conducted over $4,000 acres Of in
tested land, 3,403 landowners assisting
in the work An average of over 90
per cent of the prairie dogs was killed.
On the untreated land the total
loss of the crop, or at least a so
per cent loss, often occurred as a re
suit of prairie-dog infestation. 1t is
estimated that the crop saving effected
by prairie-dog control amounts to ap-
proximately $500000.
Multiply this by dozen or more
the number of states doing the same
kind of work-and the size of the job
is apparent.
A new angle to the situation is the
recent public announcement that prai-
rie dogs are good eating and that vari-
Gus towns in the infested areas are GO
ing to put them on the bill Of fare.

SARGENT COUNTY
OBJECTS TO HIGH
HANDED ACTIONS

The voters of Sargent sounty, Non

says Rep Nils Peterson of Gwinner,
back from a brief visit home, are
incensed over the treatment accorded
John Weber, elected representative
from Sargent county by substantial
majority, and deprived of his seat by
the league house majority, aftedS
farcical hearing before the elections
committee in the contest proceeding
filed by Frank Riba, an udtra radical
leader. Weber's sin was that the
election board in Forman precinct,
acting under instructions from, the
local board of health, which it could
not ignore under penalty of imprison-
ment, exsluded the mob while 1t
counted the votes election night. The
flu epidemic was then raging; people
were dying right and left, the board
of health acted for the protection OF
the public, and the election board
obeyed its orders. The league dis
covered that by throwing out the vote
in Forman precinct it could seat Riba
ana gain one more vote in the house,
and it did so. This action is decidedly
distastefull to members of both fac
tions in Sargent county.

Co. of'Grand Forks must Immediately
cease charging patrons for two

there must be established between
the two exchanges the physical con

ever, that the Northwestern had con-
tinued to operate the Tri-State ex-
change as distinct from its own. 1t

ers desiring full service to patron
ize both exchanges, doubling the cost
of service The Northwestern had
refused to make the two exchanges
one system by establishing phys
ical connection.
The rail board supports the conten-
tion of the petitioners in every par
ticular. It's order gives Grand Forks
the benefit of a consolidated service

REGISTR ALTON
TO
HIGHWAY BOARD
Important Amendments Made
in Automobile Licensing
Laws of State
NEW BASIS or ASSESSMENT
First Cost of Car to be Taken
as Fee.Fixing Standard
Other Changes

Within an hour after the highway
bill providing for new method of
registering motor vehicles was read
in the senate yesterday, the joint
highways committee of the house
and senate had agreed to two import
ant amendments.
The first of these amendments will
change the basis Of registration from
combination of first cost, weight
and horsepower much too compllcat-
ed, it was felt, to promote accuracy,
to a strict first cost basis principle.
Under this plan new cars will be as
sesscd an annual regitratiOn fee OF
one per cent on the list price, this fee
to be reduced ten per cent for each
year after the first which the car
remains in service until the fourth
year. after which the fee shall remain
stationary. 1t is provided that the
fee shall never be less than So per
annum. The average first year regis
tration fee under this law will be in
the neighJorhood Of $3.50, and it will
range all the way from $3.50 on a
Humble Henry to $50 on princely
Packard.
The second amendment will provide
that for the current year the registra-
ton OF motor vehicles shall be handled
by the state highway commission, but
that after this year the clerk Of dis
trict court in each county shall
handle the registration business for
his county. These county registrars
will be required to remit to the state
treasurer. all fees collected. dupll-
cate report will be filed at the same
time with the state highway commits
sion. The state treasurer on order
from, the state highway commission
will return to the counties their share
of the fees and transfer to the county
highway commission the balance.
Other provisions of the new bill prob
ably will stand, although the high
way committees OF the two houses
sill have under joint consideration
this measure, which will have very
important bearing on the states fu-
turc road-building policy.
The motor vehicle registration de-
partment is transferred from the or
flee of the secretary Of state 10 that
of the highway commission, and the
basis of fixing the licensing fee is
changed from horsepower rating
to a first-cost and horsepower basis
in Senate Bill 81. introduced Thurs
day by Senator King.
The fee to be paid on all motor We
hicles except motorcycles and those
used for commercial purposes, for
registration, re-registration and oper-
alton shall be based on the factory
selling price in force January l each
year to which the registration applies,
