AGITATING FOR RABBIT DRIVE

R. D. Lowe and others were in
Blackfoot the last of the week trying
to make arrangements for some win
ter rabbit drives for the purpose Of
destroying the pests and were also
looking for a market for the skin.
There is a firm in California that pays
lie apiece for them but after a man
has skinned few rabbits he begins
to question if it isn't worth more
than he gets out of it. After he be-
comes proficient he can make some
money at it but not very much.
Mr.. Lowe, in talking about the
matter stated the rabbits do great
deal of damage thruout the year, but
the damage is especially heavy in the
summer season when they eat the
hay and grain while it is growing. In
some places they destroy the entire
crop and thus nullify the farmers
efforts. They are. planning to have
some rabbit drives in the country ly-
ing west Of Moreland, Thomas and
Rockford in the near future and the
public is requested to take an inter-
est and go out and help in the sport
and job of exterminating the pest.

SPEAKS FOR CASH
BONUS FOR YANKS
Says Ex-Service Men
Should Have Bonus
at Once
By MARVIN GATES SPERRY
National president of the private SOL
diers and sailors legion.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2O.-I am
speaking as an ex-service man and
for the ex-service men when say
that the cash bonus for soldiers and
sailors is just measure and should
be passed by Congress without load
ing it up with insurance and land
schemes that only cause dissatisfac-
tion and disappointment.
We do not ask for the insurance
certificate feature for it gives no pres
ent relief and the same is true of
the vocational training feature. The
two land schemes are complicated
and would eventually put billions Of
government money into the business
of boosting the price of land for the
profit of private spectators.
The first demand of the demobi-
lized man Is the opportunity for en-
ployment. We do not purpose to be
used as .crow-bars to pry some other
man or woman out Of job; nor do
we intend to be recruited into an
army Of unemployed to be used as a
lever to force down the wages of
other citizens. We ask for a straight
cash bonus of $500, payable now;
from taxes to be levied now, on the
piled up excess war profits of cor
pOrations now in their hands, sub
ject to tax with which to pay the
bonus.
The nation could call four million
young men to the service in a few
weeks when needed and 1t can call
two billion dollars to it's service in
a few weeks when needed with equal
when it is need, from
war profits to be used for the benefit
Of the soldiers, sailors, marines and
nurses who served during the recent
war.
