NOT UNIFORM DESIGN

Under the new law, the memorials
erected in each county are not
required to be of uniform design, as
under conditions which formerly OBJ
tanned
Under the law passed at the 1919
session of the legislature the governor
was to appoint three persons who were
to decide upon AMI adopt q uniform
memorial to be erected in each county
of the state, under certain conditions
An appropriation of $4,000 was made
and each county was to receive $1,000
from the state when a similar amount
had been raised by the county.
House bill No Ill, 1921 session deos
away with the commission created
two years previously and instead
makes the local commanders of the
American Legion and the heads Of
other local established and recognized
bodies sf world war veterns, and the
board of county commissioners of each
county the memorial commission. The
new law vests in this commission the
power to determine the style, charac
ter and design of the memorial to be
erected in each county, and eliminates
the requirement that the memorials
must be uniform in all counties.
ATTORNEY GENERAL RULES
The new law did not repeal the
$50, 900 appropriation and, regarding
the money, IN opinion by the attorney
general reads as follows:
"The law makes the state money
available whenever there shall have
been certified to the state auditor by
the county commissioners that the
county commissioners have appropri
ated at least $1,000 and that a suitable
site had been provided. 1t further
gives all counties four years to avail
themselves of the funds provided, be
ing the $4,000 previously appropri-
ated, of the unexpected balance
On the question as to whether or
not the state can hold the sculptors to
their contract for furnishing this /
only to Idaho, the attorney /
general writes: 1T is my opinion that I
when the commission is abolished that /
the counties are allowed to re-deter
mine the m1tter the contract is broken, |
So that thew may use the design for
any other state or in any other man
ler they desire. -

GET TOGETHER MEETING

SUNDAY AT THE Y. Ms 0. A.
 At the Y. M. c. A. Sunday afternoon an interesting "get together was held and a group of men enjoyed the discus sion of the topic A Man and His Giving. After the singing, scripture reading and prayer the topic was discussed. and among the points brought out were the following: g.
 That we are placed in this world for the purpose of serving and thereby mak- ing the world better that among the reasons why we should give are that God commands it; that the world needs 1t, and those who are in need physically or morally have right to expect Christian men to help them in every way possible There is a difference in the spirit in which men give; some give grudginglyt others because others give, and then 1 those who give from a heart impulse. The latter is the only true giving. If mar gives money, and nothing else, he has not entered fully into the spirit of giving, fol one should with his money also give him. 1 self to those whom he can help. Jus because a man gives money to a cause or an institution is no reason why hs ] should expect special privilges simply 1 because he gives, for if he does he ha! not given exactly in the right spirit. man should give intelligently, and no l thoughtlessly, and he should take a req 1 interest in the cause to which he gives Among the things to which every Chris tian man should give at least something are the church, agencies thai help tn city morally, socially or educatienally also to the care of the sick and the un fortunate.
 Several scripture passages were read f
 line with the. topic, and emphasis wa laid on the thought that we should fol low the exararsz es. Jesus in giving to needy world
 After the diseSsH4a. refreshments wer served and all .,fe8s1t felt that the hou I had been a profitable one.

TO TAKE UP RAILROAD
 LEGISLATION THIS WEEK

Washington, Aug. 7.-Upon President Hsrding's return from his vacation. sen- ate republican leaders are to take up the question of railroad legislation with the executive. Whether the adminis- tration bill for funding about $500. .ooO,- 900 of carriers debts by the war finance corporation shall be preised immedi- ately or deferred until after the pro- posed senate vacation recess, is to be determined.
 Some doubt regarding the presidents wishes is held. At the recent White house dinner to republican senators. the president was said to have agreed to delaying the railroad bill over the re- cess period planned When the pres ident talked later with house republican leaders he was quoted as desiring prompt enactment of the funding bill.
 The president senators said tonight. will be informed this week that it would be impossible for the senate to secure any vacation if the railroad measure should be pressed Weeks of debate. it was said, are certain. If the president should consent to house action first on the bill the senate leaders hope to pass the anti-beer and Capper-Tincher grain gambling bills this week and adjourn for month or six weeks.
 Action on the railroad bHl Is to be discussed also next Tuesday by the sen ate interstate commerce commission with Chairman CummiRs. who has been | i'll, returning Co take charge.

wINDHAM-ToLLAND HUNTERS
 GET YOUNG PHEAsANre

Pheasants numbering 1000 were brought up from the state farm at Mad ison Friday morning to this city says the Middletoyn Press, and turned over to representatives of game clubs in Holland and Windham counties for the purpose of distributing the birds in those two sec- tions of the state.
 The state farm men were met by the Holland and Windham county people in front of the postoffice and the transfer was made. The up-country folks came in automobiles and went back home in the evening.
 The birds were quite young, looking like chickens about a month old. They were in large baskets, Il birds to a bas- ket. A good many stopped to look at the birds and to note how they enjoyed their proposed change of location.
 All appeared to be in good trim. ready to grow up and make fine marks for the hunters later on. The farm, so the of- ficers said, never had better luck than it has had this year raising pheasants.

CHARGES. AGAINST THE
 CHEMICAL FoUNDATIoN co.

Washington. Aug. T-The charges that ''the dye mohopoy Seaded by the Chem ieal .Fsundation Company" has sought to influence three members of president Hardings cabinet in an effort to perpertu- ate it's present exclusive power ia this country" is made by Representative Frear, republican. w;scopsin. in letter to Chairman Penrose, of khe senate com mittee considering the tarif bill. The communication was made public today by Mir. Fresr with the anncuncement that copies had been sent to tae cresi- dent and to others who would seem 10 speak with authority on matters con tained in it
 MT. Frear, who led the successful fight in the house agalnst the dye embargo in the Fordney bill, referred specifically to tse letters written to Senator Penrose by Secretaries Weeks and Denby who urged continuance of the embargo SO that the country might be provided with cheslicals | in the event of war. Mir. Fre1r also de- eiared that Attorney General Daugherty had failed to acknowledge or to act upon his letter ef July IS, asking that legal proceedings be instituted to set aside tie chemical foundation company.
 'No invisible government" said Mir.
 Frear, ''has ever shown more brazen ef- l llTOulcIy lndu L1lS aye 1lClOpOlg. we may well be concerned over the power
 of these dye interests that reach to three
 cabinet officers in their efforts to per
 petuate their present exclusive power in this country.
 Not a line of evidence in all the
 hearings I am informed. suggests that this government depended upon or re-
 cieyed aid from any dye establishments in the country during the recent war nd the argument that we should preserve
 this half billion dollar dye moaoroly
 with it's excessive prices and enormous
 power because of approaching war and
 through need of private protection is
 both preposterous and ridiculous.
 Secretaries Weeks and Denby are re-
 ported by the Press to have written youl committee simultaneously that the dyt embargo should be continued fer that
 reason. If so they certainly had littl'
 information on which to base such state
 ments and caution Is thrown to the wind
 when dye interests bring these two letter to your committee on the same day t t influence committee action.
 T have no fear of their inhuenc . either in your committee or on the bod = you represent, but I do express concer 0 over any power that can secure sllc n letters from such high sources and nor s important bsat apparently has endeavore It to smother efforts made to have the gov '. ernment bring legal proceedings in or s der to set aside the chemical foundatio
 company. Failure for practically thre 1, weeks to receive any reply from the al 7 torney general is an unusual oversigf l. by a department that represents tn # congress as well as the administratio y and it is impossible to believe failul IS to acknowledge receipt of an oficii a courteous letter was due to an ovel s. sight"

DROUGHT CAUSES CONCERN
 IN FRANCE AND ENGLAND

Washington, Aug Optimism was the general keynote of British industry during July, while the business crisis per sisted in France with scarcely any indi- cations of improvement, according to the monthly cabled summary of conditions in western Europe and South Africa issued today by the bureau of foreign and do- nestle commerce.
 Drought in both France and England was reported to be causing serious con- cern, with the expectation of inferior crops, although the wheat prospects in those countries were considered good, presaging smaller imports of grain
 Continued depression in Scandinavia and South Africa was also reported.
 Restoration of confidence, bringing a revival of trade in heretofore dormant lines in Great Britain, Trade Comuis- sioner Page at London declared, has re- suited from the settlement of industrial troubles Indications, he added. are that there will be industrial peace for some | time.
 It is realized throughout England, he 1 asserted, that a thorough revival of busi- | ness is dependent upon cheaper coal which is looked for under>the settlement 1 of the recent strike, and an economic l improvement in Great Britain's Europcai 1 markets. Growing popularity of the in. | dustrial plans for export credits, Mir | Page said, has created prevailing optim | ism as regards foreign trade. The gen,
