IOWA CATTLE.TESTING LAW
AIDS FIGHT ON TB. PLAGUE

One Of the most encouraging fac
tors in the fight against cattle tuber-
culosis, according to those in charge
of the eradication work for the United
States Department of Agriculture, is
the activity of State legislatures in
passing laws to facilitate the wide
spread testing of cattle in specified
areas, a branch Of the work which
in the last few years has become Of
greater importance than the testing
of individual herds at random A
state law which contains many points
of excellence is that passed last
spring by the Iowa legislature.
Briefly, this Iowa law provides that
on petition of 81 per cent of the own
ers of breeding cattle in county,
the live stock sanitary authority Of
the state must proceed to eradicate
tuberculosis from the county as pro-
vided by law. Or the same result
may be accomplished in another way:
Upon petition of Is per cent Of the
voters a proposal to eradicate the
disease must be submitted at the next
general election to levy a 3-mill tax
upon all property to help supply
funds for the purpose, these funds,
together with those from the state
and federal governments, to be used
largely for paying for animals slaugh-
tered. When rs per cent of the own
ers Of breeding cattle petition for
county testing, all Of the fields in the
must be tested and fine and
jail sentence are provided as penalty
for those who refuse to submit their
animals to the test.
In case the county 3-mill levy and |
the state and federal funds are in
sufficient to pay indemnities, the law
provides for a tax Of 25 cents head |
IN all cattle and cents head on
Ill hogs in the county.

INSTITUTIONS WILL NOT SUFFER

ST have faith in the State Board OF
Education" said Governor G. G. Moore
Yesterday, Gin that the educational in
stitutions will not be permitted to
suffer in spite Of the loss Of Commits
sioner E. A. Bryan. While, person
ally, have always held high regard
for the commissioner, I feel that the
people Of the state have spoken in no
mistabable manner through the legis-
lature and that the will of the people
shall be obeyed.
"The higher educational institu-
tions will not suffer under the care
of the board and the State Superin-
tendent will see to it that the boys
and the girls Of the common schools
will receive every advantage of the
years just past I feel that there is
no material criticism of the present
board system and no justification OF
anyone making alarming statements
of the "wrecking" Of the educational
system or that the children OF the
state may lack in educational fac1li-
ties in the next two years.
sThe legislature provided for an
executive secretary for the board but
so far the board has not made such
appointment, leaving much Of the
secretarial work falling upon Miss
Wilson, DR.. Bryan's secretary ana
other clerks in the office"

THOUSANDS NEEDED

When Governor c. c. Moore and the
members Of the state prison board in
formed the members of the Boise
Ministerial association and the So
ciety for the Friendless that few
hundred thousand dollars would be
necessary to provide the desired con-
ditions at the state prison, there was
noticeable slump in enthusiasm of
the "reformers" who have been break
ing into print recently with sugges-
tions of the manner to run peniten-
tiary. The reformers admitted that
no charge Of brutality could be brot
against the management and could
point to no definite thing that could
be Immediately accomplished.
Governor Moore pointed out that
the lact of employment was an un-
desirable condition but that factories
demanded the investment Of consid-
cradle money not only for buildings
but for machinery. He drew the at
tention of all to the fact that the pres
ent administration was responsible
for the shirt factory which would
start soon, providing employment for
the men and opportunity for them to
earn several dollars a month. There
was much opposition to this in the
Legislature and through the state.
1t is very desirable to separate the
boys and first offenders from the
habitual criminals. Governor Moore
also pointed out, but several thou
sand dollars would be necessary for
a dormitory for the new men as the
first step in such a provision. AS
soon as a legislature feels that the
people can afford to properly equip
its state prison, this matter can be
corrected and not before This also
holds good in connection with teach
ing trades and school work in the
prison. The prison is not modern be-
cause most of it was built In pioneer
days when the chief duty toward the
was to prevent him from
a life Of crime in protect
ing society. The prison board is CIV
ing the most careful attention to the
care Of the inmates under the cir

PRESIDENT HARDING ON SAVING

| President Harding has often shown
his interest in the savings movement
and has personally invested in Treas
ury Savings Certificates, the valuable
saving security issued by the U. s.
Treasury Department. In a speech
at Salt Lake City, Utah, the President
said:
1.-THE world, it's government, its
quasi-public corporations, it's people
acquired the spending habit during
the war to an extent not merely un-
Iprecedented but absolutely alarming.
There is but one way for the COM
munity finally to get, back on it's feet
and that is to go seriously about pay
ing it's debts and reducing its ex-
penses. That is what the world must
face. The greatest and richest gov
ernment must face it and so must the
humblest citizen.
mo habit is so easy to form, none
so hard to break, as that of reckless
spending. And on the other side,
none is more certain to contribute to
SoCuTlLy duU udppluSSo Iudn IuS AdplL
Of thrift, Of savings, of careful man

balanced budgest and living within

IF could urge upon the American
people single rule applicable to
every one of them as individuals, and
to every political or corporate unit
among them, it would be to learn to
spend somewhat less than your in
come all the time. If you have debts,
reduce them as rapidly as you can:
if you are one of the fortunate few
who have no debts, make it rule to
save something every year.
81 would have our government ade-
quate in every locality and in every
activity, and public sentiment will de-
mand it and secure it, and require
no more, if we have the simple and
thrifty life which makes the healthful
nation"

INSPECT IRRIGATION DISTRICT

At the earnest request OF Governor
c. c. Moore, Chief Reclamation En-
gineer F. E. Weymouth has been Or
dered by Commissioner Of Reclama-
tion D. W. Davis to come to Boise for
an inspection of the Gem irrigation
district. Engineer Weymouth will ar
rive this Friday and will Immediately
in connection with Governor Moore
and Idaho Reclamation Commissioners
Warren G. Swendsen, make an oni-
cial inspection of the system and the
proposal to secure cheaper power
maintenance rates by the construction
of a hydro-electric plant at the spill
way of the Arrow Rock Dam.
Congressman Addison T. Smith,
chairman of the reclamation commit
tee of the House, investigated tho
proposal a few days ago and made a
very favorable report. The Gem dis
trict comprises 10000 acres out or
Caldwell, 10000 acres of which are
under water. The water is now Sc
cured by direct pumping from the
Snake river but the pumping charge
is entirely too burdensome and II
cheaper maintenance is not obtained
the district must fail. 1t is proposed
that a power plant be constructed at
the Arrow Rock dam at an approxi-
mate cost of $45O,OO0 which would de-
velop approximately 10000 horse
power Of energy. j. H. Lowell OF
Caldwell is manager Of the district.

LEAGUE STANDING
RECORD.BREAKING SALES OF
FEDERAL TIMBER ANNOUNCED

Sales Of timber from the national
forests during the fiscal year ending
June 80 were greater than In any like
period, the Forest Service, United
States Department of Agriculture, has
ANNOUNCED.
With the recent sale of 6S5 million
board feet mostly Douglas fir, from
the Cascade National Forest in Ore
gon, the total for the IL months is
between $500 million and 1900 mil
lion board feet, according to prelim-
mary figures. The estimated cut will
be between 900 million and 1000 mil
lion board feet, the latter figure re-
presenting an increase of nearly 250
million board feet over the cut of the
preceding fiscal year.
Management plans for the national
forests provide for the cutting and re-
moval of the matured crop of timber
in such a manner that reforestation
of the cut-over areas will insure
perpetual timber supply. Units OF
called working circles
are laid out and limitation of cut
fixed for each.
In some areas the timber Is clean
cut, and a new stand is obtained by
leaving seed trees but in most in
stances the smaller trees left stand
ing constitute the next potential cut.
Artificial restocking or planting or
young trees is confined entirely to
Did burned-over areas upon which
nature is exceedingly slow in estab-
fishing tree growth.
From 40 to upwards Of 100 years
ire required to complete the cutting
md removal Of timber from the usual
circle, thus providing for
lew growth Of matured timber By
he time the saver returns to the
starting point.
