GIFT TO AUSTRALIA.

The flotilla of six destroyers pre- sented by the British admiralty as a free gift to the Australian navy has just been taken over formally by the Australian high commission CT, Andrew Fisher, and is timed to arrive at Sydney on Anzac Day, April 25. They are the Tattoo, Success, Tasmania, Stalwart, Anzac, and Swordsman.
 MT. Fisher states that these new vessels, all of which have left the slips since the armistice, differ so greatly in designa, armament, ma. neuvering speed, and range from the destroyers already belonging to the Australian navy that if pitted against them not one of the earlier vessels could live for more than g minute or two.

RIGHT REINDEER PLAN.

It is pleasing to note, says the Dawson News, that Yukon's mem Der and Bishop Stringer, who ap- peared before the royal commission at Ottawa to investigate the pro- posed introduction of reindeer and similar domesticated herds into the Canadian Northland, oppose the commercializing of the herds, espe- cially at this stage of the pro- cedure. They favor the Alaskan system. Alaska some twenty years ago introduced reindeer. and the herds have multiplied wonderfully and have been great source of service and sustenance and likewise wealth to whites and natives of the region. There seems little or no valid reason why similar herds should not be introduced into the Yukon Territory on plans prevail ing there, at least to some extent.
 If vast exclusive tracts of Ian be given to concerns wishing to en- gage in the development of animals adapted to the Northland. it may be only short time until Canada finds herself stripped of all such lands. Nothing would contribute more to the Encouragement of the early oc- cupation by settlers in this Northern zone.
 The time is at hand for Canada to encourage hardy and willing people to come North. A vast portion of the Dominion lies north of the boun- diaries of Alberta, British Columbia Manitoba, Ontario, and Quebec This vast hinterland will flourish il the concession curse be averted Dr. Thompson was in Yukon wher the mining concession was the bant of the Individual miner and when !1 caused many a good man to leave the country.

AUTOS FOR ROAD WORK.

Approximately 24,c00 motor ve- hicles intended for war purposes have been turned over to the De- partment of Agriculture by the War Department for distribution among the state highway commissioners for use in road building, allotments be- ing based on the amount of Fed eral aid for roads which the states receive. Already 12,O00 have been delivered to states. and the remaind- CT will be distributed as fast as railway cars can be secured for their transportation, which probably will be two or three months. This equipment promises to be of great aid in carrying out the large road building program for 1920.

SOCIALISTS OF SWEDEN ADOPT
 DRY PLATFORM

STOCKHOLM. - Adoption of a
 prohibition platform, by vote of 118 to 1O5, and passage of reso- lution in favor of the. separation of
 church and state, were two of the decisions taken by the Swedish So-
 cialist Party congress, whose labors
 here have just come to close. These decisions, however, were
 overshadowed by internal party up-
 heavals which lasted throughout the congress, much to the joy of the
 Bolshevist and other extremist fac tions, as we'll as of rival political parties.
 During the economic crisis, profit eering reared its head in Sweden, land several leading Socialists were !alleged to have been connected with Icompanies accused of making excess lsive profits. Whereupon a cry was raised to read them all out of the party.
 Hjalmar Granting, ex-minister of finance and a leading Socialist, de- tended G. Mailman, formerly chair man of the ways and means com mite; Warner Ryden, formerly min- ister of education; Herman Lind 'quist, president of the Second cham Der, nd Senator C. G. Magnusson, burgomaster of Stockholm, in re- |spect to certain charges brought |against them.
 Last November, Kallen, Ryden, land also the Liberal minister, Axel Schotte, resigned their offices. Now, in consequence of the action taken by the congress, Ryden gives up his seat in the senate, and Burgomaster
 Magnusson, although popular with all classes in Stockholm, retires and
 will no longer sit on the numerous
 municipal committees of which he
 was a prominent and active mem ber He will also lay down his sen- atorship.
 Herman Lindquist alone weather ed the storm. He was chairman of a company called the Arbeterbra-
 ensle, which imported coal and coke
 from Germany during the war thru
 Parvus, the German Socialist finan-
 cier. Granting succeeded in having
 Lindquist retain his seat as presi-
 dent of the Second chamber.
 The Socialists are sure of retain
 ing their numerical superiority in
 parliament at least until after the general election next October.

county. The present assessed valua-
ton of the county would authorize
the expenditures of approximately
$180,00000 for the erection of such
memorial. The bonds or taxes pro-
vided for this purpose are authorized
by Chapter 279 of the Session Laws
of Kansas for 1919, and may be is
sued or levied in addition to all Other
bonds or levies now permitted by
statutes.
/ If it is determined. upon sub
mitting the profosition to the voters,
that such a memorial be erected, il
then becomes the duty of the Board
Of County Commissioners to proceed
and erect the same in accordance with
the petition and election heretofore
had, and to appoint three trustees as
a board of management and control
thereof, who shall serve without
compensation, and shall render an
nual reports to the County Commits
siOners. The expense of maintenance
of said memorial shall be paid out
of the general fund of the County,
but in case the came shall be insult
ficient, a special fund may be created
for which the county is authorized
to make levy of not more than one
tenth of one mill per annum.
Unless the proposition of site
for the erection of such memorial is
presented to the voters at the spec
ial election held therefore, the Board
Of County Commissioners may secure
the site by purchase of condemna-
ton as provided by law in such cases,
and the bond issue shall not exceed
the actual cost of the memorial plus
the cost of the site and of the elect
ion. Before any contract is let for
the erection of a memorial, the plans
therefore must be submitted to the
state architect and the contract price
must not exceed the estimate of the
costs thereof as made by him.

Seward county should have this
building aside from the patriotic OF
sentimental standpoint, but these
will have to be treated in future ar.
ticles.
The thing now is to get your name
on the petitions and have the elect
ion called and get the matter started.
The following is the legal status
of the matter, for which we are in
debted to County Attorney G. l..
Light. Mr.. Light has gone into the
matter of the application of the law
and gives the information in clear
cut manner.
The proposition of erecting a
memorial in Seward County to the
memory of the valorous achieve
ments of its citizens who as soldiers,
sailors, marines and nurses entered
into the various wars of the service
of the United States, including the
war with Mexico and the late world
war, and all Intervening wars, is
one which is now demanding the
serious consideration of our citizens.
Such a memorial may be petitioned
for and erected by bond issue or
tax levy as county proposition, and
may consist of building, monument,
arch, or other structure, or improved
highway, park or boulevard.
In order to secure the erection of
such memorial, petition signed by
twenty-five per cent of the electors
OF the county, presented to the Board
of County Commissioners. setting
forth the character of the memorial
desired to be erected, and the APP
proXimate cost thereof, will secure
an order for a special election to sub
init the proposition to the voters of
the county; or if general election
will be held within six months after
presenting such petition, the same
can be presented to the voters at
such general election, by prompt ac-
tion and circulation of a petition at
the present time and presenting the
same to the Board of County Com
the proposition could be
submitted to the voters of Seward
County next November, and thereby
save the necessary expense of
special or call election.
A memorial may be paid for in
two ways, either by the issuance of
bonds which shall run for not more
than twenty years at per cent, or
by the levy tax direct, which shall
not be in excess of two mills; but in
no event shall the amount expended,
either by bond or tax, exceed 1.5 per
cent of the assessed valuation of the

WHEN THE BOYS COME BACK

During the time the American boys
were in the trenches making the
world safe for Democracy" almost
every paper one picked up made some
mention of 'when the boys come
home"
These boys were expected to come
back with the idea that they had done
"thc big thing" and would assert
themselves on every hand, and make
all sorts of demands. In fact the
whole scheme of living was expected
to be changed And all agreed that
they had it coming-that they had
made the fight and when they had
won, nothing would be too good for
them.
Il was Il beautiful sentiment and
should have proven true.
Then the armistice was signed, the
boys began arriving in their home
towns, but instead of telling of their
deeds of bravery, their sufferings and
hardships and swelling out THEN
chests with pride, these fellows as
quickly as possible got into the civi
liam clothes and began looking fol
jobs.
It seemed to be their desire to for.
get as quickly as possible the horrors
of war; they did not get swelled W
over the big job they did so nicely
they did not start to revolutioniz'
the world; they made no demands o

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
MET WEDNESDAY, NIGHT
Will Advocate $15O,OOO Building
and Making Plans For Gigantic
Meeting September First

For more than a year there has
)een talk of erecting a building as
tribute to the soldier boys who did
not return, and dedicated to the use
of those who are with US.
The American Legion started the
movement is a small way when they
started to raise funds for a club
house. About this time a law was
enacted giving counties the privilege
of erecting memorials in the shape
of buildings or arches. and the idea
of building an auditorium as a me-
mortal was born.
All sorts of plans have been pro-
posed, the most popular being that
Of erecting a building which would
serve the needs of the entire county
and setting aside sufficient space for
the American Legion headquarters
reading rooms, etc.
Although the plan met with the
approval of a great majority of the
people, and the Legion heartily en-
dorsed it, there has been much delay
in getting the matter started. Nu-
merous meetings have been held and
although no opposition was apparent
it seemed to be a difficult matter to
get the proposition under way.
However at meeting of the Exc
cutive Board of the Liberal Cham
ber of Commerce held last night it
was decided to launch the PROPOSE
ton.
There was good attendance and
really lot of pep and enthusiasm in
evidence at the meeting, and the de-
cision to proceed was a result of the
unanimous approval of the board.
The committee appointed some
time ago made a report, advising a
building to cost $4,000 with seat
ing capacity of $500 but after much
deliberation it was decided to spend
$150,000 and secure a capacity of
1000.
1t was agreed that the recon-
mendation of the committee was too
modest and that it would be unad-
visable to build a building of that
size. Such a building would not an
swer the needs of the town alone and
if the entire county is to be accom-
modated the building must be of
greater capacity.
1t was decided to call a meeting
for September 1st, at the court house
and invite the people of the county
to come out and express themselves
in the matter. The Chamber of
Commerce will have charge of the
meeting but it is by no means a
Chamber of Commerce meeting. The
people of the town and county re-
gardless of the fact that they may or
may not be members of that organ-
zation are invited to be present and
have a part in the meeting.
1t is possible that at that time
