GRAZING FEES
To Increase Rates in Forest Reserves
Now Would be Hardship.

Grazing at present is the principal
source of money return to the gov
eminent from the national forests,
SO states the secretary Of agriculture.
E. T. Meredith in his just published
annual report to the president. Since
1915 adds the secretary, the grazing
fees have been doubled, with the view
Of making them commensurate with
current rental rates for neighboring
private lands Of. the same character.
When the existing rates we're estab-
lished, the users Of the range under
stood that they would remain in eff
feet for FIVE years, and many of the
grazing permits were issued for five
years. The value of the graz
ing privilege on many ranges subse-
quently advanced and considerable
sentiment in favor of an immediate
further increase in the fees develop
ed. The good faith of the government
would be impaired by such a course.
Furthermore, to advance the fees at
the present time would add seriously
to the instability which confronts the
national forest livestock INDUSTRY be-
cause of changing market conditions,
and would be neither just nor good
public policy.
No policy has been laid down by
congress for the guidance of the de-
partment in the exercise Of the ad-
ministrative discretion, with which it
has for fifteen years been vested, to
determine the conditions under which
the use of the range should be per-
mitted. If congress desires to pre-
scribe such policy, says Secretary
Meredith, it should not take effect I'M
til after 1923, when the existing leas-
es will expire. Even in the absence
of legislation, the department will
make classification of the ranges
and fix a new scale of charges, to be
imposed in 1924, under which the
fees will represent the actual grazing
value of the particular portion of the
range used by each permittee or group
of permittees. Before the new scale
is determined, an opportunity will be
given the local associations of national
forest range users to submit any data
the fairness of the proposed
fees which they may desire to pre-
sent

WANTED REcIPRocATloN
Sockfess Jerry Was Willing to Show
His Hose if Woman Would.

The fact that Miss Alice M. Robert
son who will be the second woman
ever elected to congress, has announc-
ed that she has never worn any thing
but cotton stockings and does not in
tend to indulge herself in the luxury
Of silk hosiery, brings to mind that it
was just thirty years ago that man
from Kansas was elected to serve in
the house of representatives because
he made the issue in his campsign
that he was too poor to wear socks.
That individual was Jerry Simpson
of Medicine Lodge, who was elected
on the Peoples Party ticket. He was
dubbed "Sockless Jerry"
Shortly after Mr.. Simpson entered
upon his duties as congressman from
the Sunfiower state Mrs. Charlotte
Smith, well known in Washington by
reason of the fact that she champion
ed the cause of women wage earners
through the weekly newspaper she
published in that city, got into a con-
fab with the member from Kansas.
Mrs. Smith, who was as bright as
she was good looking, glanced at the
feet of the Peoples Party represen-
tative and said: "By the way, Mr..
Simpson, 1 wish you would pull up
your trousers and let me see if it is
really true that you do not wear
socks"
81 WILL" quickly answered the Med
icine Lodge man, "if you will then be
kind enough to lift up your dress 80
that all of US here in the corridor
men and women both-can see what
kind of stockings, if any, you as the
friend of working women can afford
to wear in times like these"
Mrs. Smith was taken so by sur
prise that she blushed greatly and
instantly took to her heels, much to
the amusement Of the bystanders. If
"Sockless Jerry" were alive now he
would not even have to strain his
eyes in walking through the capital
corridor to find out what sort of stock
ings ("if any') the women were wear
ing.

SEX CONTROL OF
FARM ANIMALS
Result Of Research Work Of Univer-
sity Specialist.

Definite theories announced as the
result of research work in sex control
among farm animals recently COM
pleted by DR.. ]. E. Vodsedalek, head
Of the department Of zoology and en-
tomology at the University Of Idaho,
are attracting the attention Of lead
ing scientists not only in the United
States, but in Latin America and in
Europe An article by DR.. Vodseda-
lex on this subject was given prom
inent position in a recent issue Of the
Biological Bulletin"
The results of this research are
said to have very important bearing
on heredity in livestock, and the uni
versity daily receives from various
parts of the country requests for re-
prints of DR.. Vodsedalek's article. As
DR.. Vodsedalek spends virtually al.
his vacations and his leisure" hours
on research, his recently published
paper offers the results of Is months
of constant, painstaking microscopic
work on the cells of cattle.
The problem was supported by the
Adams fund Of the Agricultural Ex-
pertinent station. In commenting on
the experiment Dean E. ]. Iddings, di-
rector of the experiment station and
head of the college of agriculture,
said: "This most interesting paper
by DR.. Vodsedalek represents a piece
of truly fundamental research. 1t
has the special merit of contributing
materially to information available
on the problem of sex control and
appeals equally to those concerned
in the practical operation in animal
production and animal Improvement.
I have found that many animal hus-
bandry specialists have been intense
ly interested in, and have followed
closely DIR. Vodsedalek's research.
The paper is most valuable contri-
button to animal literature"

AND NOW A PEACH
APHIS
New Orchard Pest Discovered in the
State by EntOmologist-.

Two new orchard pests have made
their appearance in Idaho and threat
en- to become of Serious consequence,
according to report Of r. H. Smith,
associate entomologist of the Univer-
sity of Idaho experiment station, who
has been working at Twin Falls.
These include the Indian peach
-aphis, which is native insect Of In
dia, where it is serious pest and the
imported orchard mite, which is a pest
that has been introduced from Eu-
rope.
Description Of the aphis, its habits,
etc, is given below:
"The InG.al peach aphis was first
observed ca ~ in the spring near
Twin Falls, wnc-e it was causing very
serious curling of the leaves on pruns
trees. Some trees were so badly in
jured that there was not sound leaf
left on them by the first Of July.
Later investigation reve' led that this
pest was present and doing more or
less injury in orchards about Boise
and Payette, and that it was general
ly distributed throughout southern
Idaho. In addition to curling the
leaves very badly and causing many
of them to fall off, this aphis in India
is said to cause dwarfish and sickly
peaches, which drop off early in the
summer after attaining small size.
Sometimes whole orchards are affect
ed in this manner. 1t is probable that
the pest was brought from Asia on
nursery stock and that it is present
in other states in the northwest"
The imported orchard mite is
small scarlet creature about one-third
the size of a pin head. 1t feeds on
the upper and under surfaces leaves,
causing them to turn an lhealthy
grayish-green color, which gradually
fades to yellow 1t is distinguished
from the common spider mite or the
"Red Spider" by the fact that it does
not spin web.

A HANDFUL OF LIES NAILED

Washington, Sept. 7.-(Special
Correspondence - The great eX-
tremity to which the Democrats have
been pushed for campaign material is
illustrated by set of false state
ments distributed for publication out
side of Ohio but carefully withheld
from circulation in the State where
the Republican nominee is best
known. This Democratic propaganda
asserts, that there is opposition to
Senator Harding among five thousand
operatives of steam shovel and other
plants in his home city, in which he
is alleged to be a shareholder, be-
cause of his alleged statement that
a dollar day was enough for any
workingman and that a dollar a
bushel is enough for the farmers
wheat, and his alleged discourage
'ment of organization of unions among
employees of his establishment.
An examination of the facts in the
case show why the Democratic Pub
licity Bureau as careful not to cir
culate this material in Ohio. Senator
Harding never said that dollar a
day is enough for any working man,
or that dollar bushel is enough for
the farmers wheat. He is neither a
director nor a stakeholder in the
shovel company. The employees Of his
shop are organized and use room
set apart for them in the Harding
newspaper building and there has
never been a Misunderstanding or dis
agreement between Harding and his
employees. 1t thus appears that every
assertion made in the Democratic
circular is false.

CHINESE PEOPLE IMMUNE
TO BOL LSEiEVISM, Is BOAST
OF HER FOREIGN OFFICE
Seven-Eighths of People Hold Land, and Capt.
talism Is Virtually Non
Existent.

Characteristic OF militarisn must he
the menace II constitutes to other
nations, 1. e., there must be present
the organization of force in such a
form that II presses on or is ready
to press upon the liberties and
rights of those who live beyond the
national frontiers. In the classic
example of prewar Germany the
whole indictment Of the allied peo-
pie rested upon that assumption.
What China is today suffering from
is not militarism properly so-called,
but an overweight of provincial mil
itary organization In relation to the
general administration brough {
about by circumstances existing an
terror to the revolution, an over
weight which has been accentuated
by certain relatively new facilities
such as railways. Pending the
growth of the civic rights move
ment-which cannot be quickened
by government action since It must
come from the people-this feature
cannot be abolished.
The greatest enemy of today ia
not militarism or provincial mill
fancy but the low standard of liy-
ing among the mass of the popu-
Iation and the luxury which mod
ern essentials such as railways
and road represent because of their
immense first cost in comparative
terms. The narrow margin be-
tween existence and starvation is
so easily wiped out in China's
dense population that when to this
problem Is added the problem of
taxation, which Immediately It
shifts from indirect to direct
forms becomes a crushing hard
ship. the work of government pre-
sents incredible difficulties. In
western countries well-articulated
credit systems serve to disguise
postwar problems perhaps greater
than China's; but in this country
they present themselves in all the
nakedness of their component ele-
ments which renders evasion or
postponement impossible.
China needs foreign help, but 1t
must be help justly given. If she
has to face the tremendous handi-
cap of unjust judges her burdens
will be increased to the breaking
point She pins her faith to the
league of nations and to a dis
passionate nonpartisan settlement
of her issues abroad because too
often in the past 1t has been shown
that what is desired of her at home
is not negotiation but surrender.
International generosity will find a
swifter reward than elsewhere be-
cause the issues are simpler and
because the people having been
given the vision of new ideals will
count even a partial realisation of
them a personal victory"

PEKIN, Dec, l3.-The following is
an excerp from an orficial statement
covering conditions in China as far
as the country's attitude toward
Bolshevism Is concerned and issued
by the Chinese foreign office:
The attention of authoritative
Chinese circles has been drawn to
the numerous erroneous reports and
Inspired statements of Q damaging
nature which have recently been
circulated both in China and abroad
and which not only mislead public
opinion but have a serious reper-
cussion on trade.
The reports which are most per-
sistent are precisely those which
are most ill-founded. One is that a
monarchical restoration has actu-
ally occurred or is imminent; an
other that the country not only Of
fers an attractive field for Boil
shevism but that an insidious and
farspread campaign of propaganda
is actually raging which may en-
gulf the nation. Roth statements
disclose singular ignorance of exist
ing conditions and of the whole
trend of Chinese thought.
1T may be generally said that the
people at large are so completely
accustomed to the republican idea
that the conception of a hereditary
ruler seems to belong to a remote
past. That some years ago, owing
to a peculiar situation which arose
in the capital from the shifting OF
some troops a nominal restoration
was gazetted must be counted 4
purely fortuitous affair due to the
abnormal conditions and the preoc-
cupation of everyone with the world
war.
LAS for Bolshevist doctrines China
is probably the last country in the
world to fear what is the nightmare
of other nations. Not only Is the
land all divided and tightly held
in small parcels by title deed among
tens of millions of cultivators, who
comprise ssven-eighths of the popu-
lation. but capitalism in the Euro
pean sense is virtually absent. Chi
nese society, with its ancient COL
lectivist structure, indeed offers
such a serious challenge to MARKHAM
communism that the practice of the
latter appears both retrograde and
elementary. Contact with Bolshe-
visit elements along an open land
frontier thousands of miles in
length and the continued presence
of large Chinese trading commun-
ties in Russian towns-when all 9TH
er foreigners have disappeared-tend
to prove that the Chinese are not
only immune but alone of all the
nations can hold their own in COM
petition with Sovietism.
IN what is said about the prevail
cree of militarism there is likewise
grave confusion. The essential
