WITH
GERMANY At ONCE
PRESIDENT HARDING'S FIRST
MESSAGE TO CONGRESS URG-
ES IMMEDIATE ACTION.

Washington, April 12.-Congress
should adopt a resolution declaring
peace with Germany without further
delay, President Harding recommend
ed in his first message to congress
today. Such action, he said, could
in no sense be construed as a deser-
tion of the allies. He made plain
his belief that the League of Nations
is dead. Measures to lower taxes and
lower retail prices were outstanding
features of his recommendation for
dealing with democratic problems. A
peace resolution, Harding explained,
should undertake no more than to de-
clare state of peace and must put
no difficulty in the way of the collec-
ton OF reparations or the restoration
of wartorn Europe. Turning his back
completely ON the League of Nations
Harding reaffirmed his allegiance TO
an ideal of a world association of
nations. This problem must be con-
sidered deliberately, he added, and
promised to invite the advice of the
senate when the time comes.

MAKE FIGHT ON
HIGH TAXATION
SU ISORS TOWNSHIP IN
CHARLES MIX COUNTY FAVOR
SUSPENSION ROAD WORK.

Academy, April 12-County sup
ervisors of Charles Mix county are
taken to task by taxpayers of La
Roche township, in which the town
OF Academy is located, in a recent
protest against high taxation which
may mark the beginning of a gen.
eral campaign in South Dakota for
lower taxes.
The supervisors of La Roche town
ship recently passed and published
set of resolutions severely criticising
the county supervisors for levying
excessive and unnecessary" taxes.
1--WE object" they say, "to the ac-
tion of the county commissioners in
raising the assessed valuations on our
livestock and some other classes of
personal property when that proper
ty had already been assessed at full
market value by our township as
sessor."
In the same signed resolutions
they consider the action of the coun-
ty commissioners in making a three
mill bridge levy as being extravag-
ant and uncalled for at this time.
We deplore this action fo the county
commissioners as tending to enrich
the bridge companies at the expense
of the taxpayers. We believe this
will also apply to the concerns sell
ing road machinery to the county"
The township supervisors demand
a more business-like and economical
administration of the county affairs
10 the end that the burden of taxes
may De lessened."
They also favor a suspension or
road and bridge work by the county
commissioners until such time as the
taxpayers are able to meet the ex-
pense."

iff John Minder returned here from
Montana, having in custody Ed. Lew
is, who is wanted in this (Roberts)
county on charge of passing a
worthless check for $1,000, payable to
the Bank of New Ellington and
drawn to the Smith-F1ynn Commits
sion company, 321 Exc. Bldg, st.
Paul, MINI.
The check was not discovered to be
worthless until after Lewis had dis
appeared, this being about the mid
die of last December. Officers had
been trailing him ever since and he
recently was located in Montana.
He refused to return to South Da-
kota without requisition papers and
this caused delay and Inconvenience
to the officer who went after him.

||WD|ANSPLEASED
WITT BUR- {
INTERPRETER IN FEDE ERA l.
COURT TELLS OF DIFFgCUL-
TIES FACING HIS PEOPLE.

Sioux Falls, April IAN the
Indians were glad to hear that Charl-
rs H. Burke was to be the next Com
missioner of Indian AFFAIRS declar-
| ed Henry Fielder, Indian court in
terpreter of the federal court, who is
in the city attending the present ses-
sion. 1--WE all know Mr.. Burke and
we have worlds of confidence in his
ability and his fairness He knows
the Indians and will be able to do
much to help the Indians OF the Da-
kotas and in the other states"
Mr.. Fielder, who has been court
interpreter for the past several years,
and is one of the best known In
dians in the state. He is a recogniz-
ed leader among the Indians, and has
done much to help his people in their
battle to adjust themselves to citi-
zenship.
Great dissatisfaction over the leas-
es given to the big ranchers is being
expressed among the Indians on the
Cheyenne reservation, according TO
Mr. Fielder. The leases were re-
Gently completed for a term of two
and one-half years without the con-
sent of the tribe. The Indians want
the tribal land to use for stock rails
ing.
There is very general desire
among the Indians to get into the
stock raising business" continued
Mr.. Fielder. "They know the busi-
ness and want to get start.
Zone thing that discourages the
citizen Indians, and there are about
500 on the Cheyenne reservation, is
to have leases of this kind made
without the consent of the men who
are most interested.
'PThe oil scare struck us in that
country, and many are entertaining
hopes of finding oil. A committee
of five has been appointed in the
tribe to look after this phase of the
work, and they will see that all leas-
es made in the future will protect the
Indians on oil rights.
1.-THE Indians are hoping to get
the money from the Black Hills
lands. The attorney in the case rep
resenting the Indians was Charles E.
Hughes, but since his appointment as
secretary Of state, another will have
to be retained. This will amount to
$50,000,000 and would prove great
thing for the people"
The Black Hills fight is an old one
in South Dakota, and it is expected
that it will come to head in short
time.

Fugitive Sioux
Is Near Death

White Rover, April 12.-Good
Beaver, a Sioux Indian who recently
escaped from the Mellette county au-
thorities here, has been located at
the home of Squirrel Coat, one of
his Sioux brethren, northwest of Wit
ten. Good Beaver is critically i'll and
may die at any time.
At the time of his escape he was
seriously i'll and had been placed by
himself, which gave him the oppor-
tunity to escape.
He was originally arrested on the
charge of being a member of a band
of cattle "rustlers," composed Of both
Indians and whites, who for several
months have been carrying on their
operations in the western section OF
the Rosebud country.
1t is probable that authorities will
not modest Good Beaver.

.Orbeck Miffed At
Burke's Appointment

Washington, April 12.-Interest-
ing complications may arise over the
appointment of former Congressman
Charles Burke, of South Dakota, as
Indian commissioner. 1t developed
today that Senator Norbeck has new
er given his endorsement to the ap-
pointment Of Mr.. Burke. That friends
of Senator Norbeck look on the ap-
pointment in the light of a political
challenge is learned, and the possi-
,bflity exists that Senator Norbeck
will block confirmation.

GRANT INCREASE
EXPRESS RATES
STATE BOARD ALLOWS A RAISE,
OF 26 PER CENT.

Pierre, April 12.-The South Da-
kota board of railroad commissioners
today announced new basis for de-
termining express rates in this state
and at the same time issued an or
der granting the request of the
American Railway Express Co., for a
26 per cent increase.
This increase, however, is based on
the new method of rate determina-
tion and will, it is estimated be from
Is to 20 per cent greater than the
present rate. The new rates are re-
remain in force for one year to test
their fairness.
The board also announced author
ization tion of new classification for
certain articles as asked for by the
company and approved by the inter
state commerce Commission Nearly
year ago, the American Railway
Express Co, asked authorit of the
bToard to put into effect a 26 cent
increase in South Dakota rates and,
at hearings held in Sioux Falls and
here, the board found such proposed
increases under the old method of
rate determination unjustified and
also found inequality of rates exist
ed between certain towns in this state
especially where the distance was
short. To remedy this, and at the
same time grant the increase which
falt IN
the board provided for extension of
the method of stating rates for short
distances.
Instead of limiting that method as
done b tyhe Interstate Commerce
Commission In its report on the case.
the board admitted it was influenced
largely in its decision today by the
fact that the Interstate Commerce
Commission had authorized a 26 per
cent increase and more than 25 states
have allowed similar cases in intra
state rates.
To have refused to allow a sub
stantial increase in the rates, the
board maintained it would mean the
Interstate Commerce commission
would have taken the South Dakota
matter entirely upon itself and es-
tablished rates, thereby depriving
this state of the right.
The present rates were put into eff
feet during the war by the director
general of the railroads.
With the increase granted today,
the intra state rates in South Dakota
will be approximately 100 per cent
greater than pre-war rates, while
the rates on interstate shipments will
be from SIS to 60 per cent higher.
the more important changes
in classification is the removal OF
Grated poultry from the commodity
class and placing it in second class
shipments which move 400 miles or
less, and first class for anything over
that distance. Nursery stock was
changed from second to first class
and packages of fruit weighing less
than 10 pounds must be punched in
groups of four and not more than
ten. This particularly affects ship
ments such as baskets of grapes.

Firewater Proves Bad
Medicine For Indians

Lake Andes, April 12.-Too much
"firewater" is said to have proved
the undoing of several Indians here
recently.
It is reported that two of them,
Jesse St. Pierre and Ellis Zephier,
imbided more than their share and
and borrowed a shovel with which
to beat up VIM. Spotted Eagle. AS
result the county attorney has had
charge of the case.
To cap the climax 1t is said the
wife of Spotted Eagle, who was the
victim in the one affray, had him
arrested for beating her up.
