LITTLE HOPE OF RELIEF
FOR indian WAR VETERANS

~ am much discouraged at the
attitude of the interior department.,
said Representative French, in COM
menting on the adverse report of the
secretary. "These soldiers saw the
same service as did their comrades who
were members of the same companies
and served with them. 1t was not the
fault of the soldier that the records
were not kept, but the fault of the of
ficers in charge, and l regard it as
outrageous that this little band Of
men who helped to save the west
should now be denied the same consid-
Grafton that their other fellows are
receiving whose records of service are
on file in the department in Washing
ton, or in state archives.
81 am going to continue my efforts
further, but / must confess | am
tremendously disappointed that the
INTERIOR department $ report on my
bill should be adverse. had gone
over the matter fully with the interior
department officers and the pension
officers and was hopeful that the re-
port would be favorable"

the members who will assemble here
for a great cause to absorb their own
expenses. If it is right that a session
should be called, then it is right that
the state pay the ordinary expenses of
the members. Under the statutes it
would be possible for the legislators to
draw mileage at the rate of 20 cents
per mile in addition to their per diem
allowance. l shall ask the body, how
ever, to confine its appropriation for
expenses to the actual amount ex-
pended by each member and I am GER
tain that they will gladly acquiesce.
NO OTHER BUSINESS
"'The formal call for the session
than the ratification of the suffrage
stipulates that no legislation other
amendment may be taken up. The
legislature is restricted by the consti-
tuition from having any power to leg
islate on any subject other than that
specified in the proclamation.
'This action is taken after most
mature dehberation. While postwar
problems are always confusing, yet
nothing could be more confusing than
to open up the legislative deliberations
to an hundred and one things which
pressure would be brought to bear to
present to it. Idaho has a minimum
of difficulties to surmount, for which
we are all thankful, and I maintain
that the next regular session of the
legislature will be held in time to
meet its problems.

EXTRA SESSION OF
STATE LEGISLATURE
CALLED TO RATIFY
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Governor Summons Solons to
Boise February II to APP
prove U. S. Amendment
Lawmakers of Idaho to Gather
for But One Day NO Other
Matters Will Be Taken Up

Extra session of the Idaho legisla-
ture was on Monday called by Govern
or Davis to meet in Boise February IL,
to ratify the amendment to the U. S.
constitution granting full suffrage to
women.
The governors call stipulates that
the extra session is only for the pur-
pose Of ratifying the amendment, and
no other legislation may be taken up.
In order that the woman suffrage am
endment to the constitution may be
come effective before the presidential
election next fall, it is necessary that
three-fourths of the states ratify the
amendment. Although Idaho has
long granted suffrage to women, it
no doubt is felt that Idaho
should be one of the first thirty
six states to ratify the amendment to
the organic law of the United States.
INFLUENCED BY sUFFRAGISTs?
Governor Davis a week ago was quo
ted as not enthusiastic over the extra
session plan, but it is presumed here
that club women and other suffragists
in south Idaho brought so much pres
sure to bear upon the governor, that he
decided calling of an extra session was
the only. way out of the, difficulty.
(, N embers of the legislature from
Idaho county are: State senator, N. B.
Pettibone, Grslseville; representa-
tiyes, Seth D. Jones, Whitepifd; and
August Schroeder, Cottonwood .s5
The governor s announcement of the
Forthcoming session is herewith given
in full:
"With the proud record of having
allowed full suffrage to women for
twenty-three years, almost since the
birth of the state, it seems peculiarly
fitting that Idaho should play promi
nent part in finally granting to woman
her rights in the shaping of national
affairs.
HELD TO ACTUAL EXPENSES

many weeks the calling of a special
session of the legislature, and | have
now decided definitely that this call

arv II, 1920. 1t has been intensely |
gratifying to me to find that big |
majority of the members of the Fiji

to come here at their own personal ex-

and breadth of purpose
which is a distinct compliment to the
personnel of the legislature. However

One of our neighbors has a phono-
graph which does not play well. We
were invited one night over to their
house for supper. and as we have a
little daughter we were supposed to
take her along. AS we were on our
way to the house I remarked to my
wife that ] did not like to 60 be-
cause of the monograph and also re.
marked that 1t was too tin-canny.
When we were through our meal. we
went into the parlor and they began
to play the monograph. After the
first song was over our little daughter,
who must have heard me remarl,
about the photograph, exclaimed: ii
guess you were right, daddy, when you
said that that photograph was tin
canny." Never went into that house
again.-Chicago Tribune.

POISONING BOIL WEEvl

What is claimed to be the most o..

method was perfected by B. r. Coad

Agriculture, at the Tallulah, La, sta

menting. The weevil ID poisoned by
busting the cotton ct night or while
the dew Ia on, using busting ma
chine to apply It. The material poi
sons the dew on which the wsevil de-
ponds for bis drinking water. The
weevil is killed, but there h another
generation Matching out, so that the
poison must be applied three or four
times at d week or ten days intervals.
Experiments show that the weevil
can be kept down to such an extent
that they can not do serious damage.
the cotton saved Ia worth far more
than the cost,
It Is important that the right kind
Of calcium arsenate be used. There
are differedt kinda. made for differ
ent purposes. The wrong kind may
be too weak to kill weevils. or too
strong and injure the cotton plant.
| There is no use to begin busting
the cotton plants before about ten
out of every 100 squares are punctured
by the weevil. 1t will be waste Of
money to undertake to spray field
thoroughly to when there are fewer
weevils In the field. While It will
kill practically all that are alive. the
new hatch will have to be taken care
Of by subsequent sprays. II is not ad-
vised that any one undertake to dust
the plants with anything else than the
regular busting machines. The pole
and bag methods has not proven sue
cessful.

Relief will make to the country In
February for funds to support its
work among the starving peoples of
that stricken land. To the Wash
ington meeting he wrote:
"Advices and information coming
from the Near East cannot be doubt
ed. There is great actual suffering
and famine. These people, recently
become Independent and released
from bitter thraldom, cannot sup
port themselves. And the Christian
and common instincts of humanity
which have prompted the people of
the United States during the last
two years to relieve the distress
and needs, especially of the Near
East, must not be allowed to grow
cold and be diminished.
s"T hope we shall all unite in this
present emergency and be able to
collect sufficient funds to enable
these peoples to live and work until
next summer brings them perma-
nent relief and Subsistence. call
upon all to respond generously to
the appeal now being made and
trust that the committee will be
gratified with the results"
