Delivers Address at Tempe
A. r. Price. a member of the Amer
lean Legion delivered an address be-
fore the American Legion of Tempe
last Thursday night on the subject of
the great necessity of the substitu-
ton by congress or broad national
reclamation campaign instead of pay
ing cash bonus 10 the ex-service
men. If this plan could be adopted
there could be a home for every ex-
soldier who was engaged in the
World war and then have millions of
acres to spare to the people from the
congested districts of the north and
eastern portion of this country.
Mr.. Price further stated that should
a cash bonus be paid that the amount
would be very small and the life of
the benefits to be derived from any
amount that will be paid will be of
very short life. and it would not be
but very short time all the certifi-
Gates would float into the hands of
very few people as other certifi-
Gates have in the past.

of five sheep men on 35 counts for
alleged trespass against the rights

The one case in which conviction

allied sheep interests are anxious to
have tested in the supreme court and
relates to usage by cattle, sheep or
both, of public range.

Senator did not state definitely it en-

Harding Caught in
Reservation Fight


Continued from Pake One
embarrassing the President has been
taken by members of his own party.
The Democrats do not have to take the
lead. As in most other cases. they have
merely to follow Senator Borah. Their
responsibility for delaying or blocking
the treaties will be lessened because all
the spectacular work will be done by
Republicans.
The motives of the Republican irrec.
oncilables are various. Senator
Brandegee, like the late Senator Knox,
is an isolationist. lie has strong con-
victions upon the necessity Of keeping
this country free from foreign involve
ments. He Is not playing politics and
has no personal ambition in pressing
his reservation before the committee.
His was the strongest will in the fight
upon tie league covenant. and he is
the worst enemy of the present pact
unamended.
johnson sees in the present fight a
way to come back to the prominence he
enjoyed in the struggle against the
league. From the moment when he
failed of nomination his star has been
on the wanc. Borah has completely
eclipsed him as national figure. His
lack Of solid convictions. his narrowness
Of vision leave him u politician rather
than statesman. even among the rather
poor array of statesmen on the Hill.
johnson Hoping to Come Back
During the fight which ended at Chi.
icago. Borah was the brains behind
johnson. But the two have driftcd
apart. owing probably to the Califor-,
mans Jealousy of the man from Idaho.
johnson reached tlfe depths when he
ducked the vote upon seating Newberry.
after the storm he had made for years
over direct primaries and the misuse of
money in elections. johnson hopes for
n way to come back in the present treaty
fight.
Borah is more ,iificult to analyzc.
When you put your finger upon an act
of his and say that Is personal ambi-
tion. he Immediately does something else
which makes you say that sprung from
convictions. ! doubt If he any more
thinks of himself as possible candidate
for President.
He has made up his mind that the
break up of parties has arrived and this
consideration doubtless influences his
actions. He enjoys the limelight; his
ambition appears not so much to be
Office as prominence. No one could wear
his hair the way Borah does and be in
different to attention.
But at the bottom is unusual ability
and real convictions set free by the
idea that parties are a thing of the
past.
