S11,OOO IN PRIZES CONTEST

In order to stimulate study of the political and economic questions of the day Truxton Beale has offered $10,0OO in prizes for the best repub- lican platform written by any person under twenty-five years of age. An Arizona citizen has supplemented this offer for Arizona contest ants with an offer of $1 900 for the best repubii can platform under the same rules as the na- tional contest There is widespread belief that there is crying need for better under standing of our government, not among any one class of people, but in all classes; too many peo- pie merely believe what they are told and are prone to let it go at that rather than take the trouble to satisfy themselves from the proper authorities This is splendid opportunity for students and even if they should lose in the con test their efforts will be of value to them in knowledge gained. The rules of the contest may be found elsewhere in The Sun.

The person who started out so bravely to throw few monkey wrenches into the political machinery with non-partsan movement for Hoover, at least succeeded in Smoking him out. :" Hoover announces that, q have not sought and thorized to speak for me-" But that is as far as they were able to smoke him. He says he will vote for the party backing the league of nations, but does not divulge his party affiliation.

It is claimed now that MT. Creel the gentle man who was paid a high salary to do publicity work for President Wilson, and who squandered money right and left, also did few helpful things for the Russian Reds at the same time, so the War Soviet Ambassador" Mortens tells the senate committee. It is strange how many things the people of this country bought with their liberty bonds that they knew nothing about.

Henry P. Fletcher, for IS years in the diplo- matic service, has resigned as ambassador to Mexico Mir. Fletcher's resignation is voluntary and is in itself a severe commentary on the policy of this government with respect to Mexico. He is convinced of the useessness of trying to ac- complish anything for the betterment of rela- tions with the Mexican government or the satis- factory protection of American rights and life under the existing regimes in Mexico City and Washington

One of the certain things of life is that men will always have great problems to solve. They have had them since the beginning of time and will have them until the end of time therefore, there is little to be gained by siderstepping and putting off far better to meet them courage eousy as they come.

INDIANS SIGN CHECKS
WITH FINGER PRINTS

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah, Oct. %
Indians who have accounts in the
banks # the Unita Basin district of
Utah, especially at Vernal and Ouch
esne, sign their checks with finger
prints, according to reports received
here. Bankers say this method is
necessary as few of the red men can
read and write. while many have
names so long that there is not
room enough on the bottom OF the
checks to write them.
When an Indian, unable to write.
desires to draw some of his money
he has some one fill out blank
check for him then affix his thumb
print The check is compared with
the prints kept on file at the bank
and If found to be correct, is paid
A full record of thumb prints is
Kept at each bank aud officials
claim that under this system there
has never been wrong payment
Many of the Unita Basin indians
are wealthy and have large bank
accounts. The majority Of them
raise cattle and sheep.

H0RNADAY fine FELLOW, SAYS
CAMPFIRE CLUB ASKING FOR
Correspondence --HERE IT IS

Alaska and the views expressed
by them are largely in accord
with your own. !.
We realize that the situation
in Alaska, with regard to the
conservation of wild life, is
unique in comparison vita
other section Of the country at
the present time and that the
peculiar necessities of pioneers
must be met. We look upon
Alaska also as the refuge of the
most splendid of the remaining
species of game animals of this
country and feel that as Alaska
is part and parcel of the whole
country so the people Of the
whole country have a vested
interest in those animals, not
especially for present use but
as heritage for generations to
come. Although we, or most
of us, as individuals, may be
said to have been spOrtsmen
before we were conservation
lists, we do not for one moment
claim consideration for the in
terests of mere sportsmen as
against the interests of Alas
kans. We stand upon the
broader ground
So far as the brown bear is
concerned we believe that it
should be protected to such an
extent as to prevent the posi-
bility of its determination and,
On the other hand, that it
should not be permitted to be a
real menace to settlers. We are
confident that some plan can
be devised under which both
ends can be reached.
AS to fur bearing animals
and, hoofed animals we believe
that they are, and ii conserved,
will continue to be, an asset to
Alaska and that the utmost
care should be exercised that
the stock is not depleted by
spCrtsmen, Indians or Alaskans.
Especially do we believe that
all the wild life of Alaska
should be guarded most string
emily against commercial inter-
ests, lest their profits be in
creased at the cost of the
people.
AS you know, your general
plan for the control of game
by an Alaskan Commission met
with the general approval of
the members of our Committee,
with some diversity of opinion
among them as to details. In
our own State we have wrestled
with some of the problems pre-
sented and at our meeting
sought only to give you the re-
suits of our own experience.
If we can be of any assistance
to you in this or in any other
direction we shall be glad to
serve you.
Permit me in closing to ex-
press the great satisfaction
which we, as sportsmen and
conservationists, take in the
fact that Alaska has in you a
Governor who is familiar with
Alaska and it's needs and as a
sportsman and conservationist
takes a keen and intelligent
interest in its wild life.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed)
