Ice formed one.half OF an inch in

THE morning at 10 a. m. we in
company with twenty. or thirty
other gentlemen found aman who
had been killed and buried in the
eand under lone tree which stood
In a small ravine about $50 yards
to the right OF the road. The
wolves had scratched the dirt from
over him aud toasted upon him. It
was by this means that we made
the discovery We dug him on.
and found him TO be entirely naked,
IA physician who happened along
lat the time supposed he had mo-
been dead more than torty.e;ght
hours.
His body bore the marks Of hav.
ing been engaged in mortal com.
bat. Three balls from revolver,
or grape fired from o rifle, had
entered his neck and had come ont
below his right ear: three balls
entered the right side OF Ehis breast
and passed ont Just below the
shoulder blade; he had been
stabbed three times near the heart
and five times IN the back and his
head had been marked with either
stones or gun barrels. Any Of
these wounds would have proved
mortal.
The body was 80 mangled that
1t Is impossible to describe the
man. He was about six feet IN
height and wore long black hair,
but we could not determine his
age.
We judged, from the manner in
which he had been found that he
had been killed by his own com.
pany, for Indians are not half so
barbarous, and had been carried
some distance from the scene OF
action. Under his head was a
shirt and It appeared as II It had
been put there to stop the blood
from dripping upon the ground,
Nearby we discovered where
there had been a small fire and
upon examination there was found

gether with the clasp OF q monoy
purse, nil Of which were, found in
one heap OF ashes. thus leaving us
no clue to find out who he was or
from. where he came.
The general opinion il that he
had insulted his company, or that
he had a large sum OF money with
him, and that the company Lad
murdered him for the insult, or to
obtain the, money. About this We
know nothing. However we buried
him decently on a beautiful knoll
near where Te found him.

a NEW DEMOCRACY

( Industry is changing from the the
DRY of exclusion to the theory of in
clusion, writes Vice President Calvin
Coolidge in The Nations Business
no longer is content with one small
part of the individual, 1t seeks to en-
list all his powers, to recognize al
his rights as we'll as require the per
Torrance of all his obligations. In the
ideal industry, each individual would
become an owner, an operator, and
a manager, and a master and a sery-
ant, as ruler and subject. Thus
there would be established a system
of true industrial democracy.
In very many Industries this is
already taking place. Employees
are encouraged to purchase stock in
the corporation and are provided
with credit facilities for such pur-
pose. This gives them ownership.
They are encouraged to make sug-
gestions for the better conduct of
the business. They are requested to
apply their inventive ability in the
various mechanical operations Thru
trade unions and shop committees
they have a large share in the deter
mination of wages and conditions of
labor. BY the introduction of the
sliding scale and piece work they
share in the general prosperity of the
concern. This gives them manage
ment. Thus industrial democracy is
being gradually developed

THE STATE OF BRITAIN'S
FOREIGN TRADE

For all of our exports and imports
we do not have figures which are ex-
actly comparable to the British cal
calations. The Federal Reserve
Board has for more important COM
modities made calculations to show
the monthly result as compared with
the figure on 1913. These figures
tend to show that on 1921 our ex-
ports were per cent over those for
1913, and our imports 35 per cent
higher. In May, 1922, the percent
age of imports was around 80 per
cent of the volume for the same
month in 1913, and of imports was
ITS per cent.
In exports of manufactured artic-
les and in import of articles for fur
Their manufacture we have our great
est increases. In May of 1922 these
exports were SIS per cent over the
level for 1913 and the imports which
were to go into further manufacture
ing were 127 per cent above the 1918
figure.-The Nations Business.

EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS

The educational institutions. be-
ginning with 1919, were showing
enormous needs of additional funds
They had been SKINNED down In
both maintenance and in equipme nt
until they were forced to demand
much larger appropriations in order
to replenish what should have been
replenished before, and to take care
of the new students. For instance,
at the University of Idaho in 1918
there was enrolled approximately
400 students, while in the winter OF
1919 the enrolment reached as high
as 100, and in 1921 the enrolment
was 400.
The appropriations demanded by
the institutions through the State
Board Of Education, non-political
board composed at that time of four
Democrats and two Republicans,
were cut from the requested amount,
S2,722,973.24, to s2,308, 466.00.
This latter amount, recommended
by the said Board, SO composed OF
four Democrats and two Republicans,
was the amount, allowed by the legis-
lature.

THE IMMIGRATION TIDE

Immigration has got hack to the
volume it had in 1899 In the fiscal
year which has just closed there were
admitted 100000 Immigrants. Pro-
badly there would have been more,
if restrictive legislation had not been
in force. However that may be, if
one turns to the pre-war years he EN-
counters the figure of 1913, when
the volume reached its greatest fig
ure, 1,218,000, and has to run back
ward for more than a decade to get a
figure comparable Wit. the total of
the twelve month3 recently closed
-311,0 900 in 1899.
= A striking figure in the statistics
for the last year is the proportion of
women; they outnUmbored the men,
thus reversing the usual state OF
things. There was another novelty
in, the figures for 1921-22; for the
first time Hebrews constituted the
largest number of immigrants be-
longing to any one nationality, reach
ing a total of $4,000. Besides, only
$50 of this race left the country dur
ing the year. Southern Italians took
second place in immigration, with
$4,000; Germans gained third place,
with $1,000, and the English num-
Der fourth, 10000.
The net gain through immigration
was only 10000. Although 1900
Italians entered the country $4,000
reparted. Almost twice as many
Greeks left as sought our shores, and
Bohemians, Bulgarians, Poles, Portu-
guese and Spaniards sailed away IN
greater number than they applied for
admission.

WHY STATE TAX
INCREASE IN 1916


state taxes increased in 1919 AZ
mills on one dollar valuation over
1918.
The reason was that the Alexan-
der administration in 1917 and 1918
shamefully permitted all state edu-
cational. penal, charitable, and all
ether Institutions to run down, both
in maintenance and buildings and
equipment.
In addition to this, that admins
tration failed to raise by more than
100000 the amounts appropriated
by the legislature during Alexander's
term of office.
Alexander also left deficient bills
amounting to more than $4,000.
Following the war the people OF
tho state through the legislature
made demands for new items requir-
ing large sums of money as follows
which show the increase Of AS mills
in state taxes for 1919.

Agriculture ....... $82,015.00l
In the building of improvements
at the educational and charitable in
situations the money had to be raised
by direct tax, as was the case with
the highways, for the reason that
the Alexander administration had
used up the entire state bonding
limit by issuing S1,000,000 in bonds
for highways.
1t will be noticed that the Alex
ander administration sold S1,000,-i
600 in bonds for highways, and the
only amount which they had to pay
of this amount, was the INTEREST,"
thereon, which was $4,000 per
year.

UNITED STATES
VETERANS, RIrREAIr

thlEfhaNO BUREAU
Pacific Northwest District, Seattle.
Washington.
December 16 of this year has been
set as the last day applications for
vocational training made by disabled
war veterans may be accepted by
the United States Veterans Bureau,
according to an announcement re-
ceived here today from L. c. Jes-
seph, northwest district manager of
the government agency. He urged
that all former service people who
feel that they may seek training at
the expense of the government at a
later date file their applications with
the nearest Office of the Veterans
Bureau within the next few weeks.
The veteran has one year after re-
quest for training is granted to take
advantage of it. If the vocational
handicap is eliminated during the
delay period, he may lose his train
ing privilege, 1t was stated.
Mr.. Joseph states that awarding
OF vocational training claims is based
on service connection of the war dis
ability, which must be a voca-
tional handicap and the feasibility OF
the applicant entering training. The
trainee is paid $50 and 500 a month
and additional allowances for de-
pendents as living expenses during
his course of study. More than goo
disabled veterans of the Pacific
Northwest have successfully com
pleted training courses and $500
others are now intraining, it was
stated. Within the next month the
veterans Bureau will present GER
tlf1cates of graduation to the train
ing students who have completed
tnelr work satisfactorily. An EN-.
ployment service was recently es-
tablished by the Veterans Bureau TO
place the vocational graduates in DO.
