POETS CORNER
OUR POET
Dedicated to "Jim" Foley.

Dedlcated to Jim Fotey.
You came to the West when the
prairics,
We're vacant, wide-open and free,
Not trace of the towns and the
Or the. homes. that were one today
to be;
found it,
OF the cowboys, and trails now
grown dim,
You pictured in rhyme the glad
| scenes of that time,
And We love you for doing it, Jim.
The nrairies gave plaee-to the wheat
fields,
They stretch away mile upon mile,
And the old-fashioned ways of our
childhood, ....
Have yielded to fashion and style;
No more the wild chant of the cow
boy,
Resounds on the clear morning air,
Nor the coyotes long wall as he fol-
lows the>trail,
That leads to his fast-hidden lair.
You wrote of the West US you found
it,
OF the cowboy, grim smiling and
staunch,
AS he herded his charges before him,
On the wide, open space of the
ranch;
Today some might call him a "ter-
ror,"
And call evil the lifS that he led,
He was ready to scrap at the drop of
hat,
And twas seldom he slept in bed.
The West, AS it once was, has gone,
Jim, :
1t has left nevcrmore to ret I'm,
The brave lads Of that day have all
passed away,
But still for their presence we yearn;
There's u wee bit o. wild in US all,
jim, -
And love for Adventures keen zest,
That is just why we say that VIC love
you today.
This day you are fifty years old.
Jim,
You have garnercd the richest of
sheaves,
And have bound them together with
heart-throbs,-
True scenes which your magic pen
weaves;
The songs you have, sung shall live
on, Jim,~
AS long as Man loves the old West,
But the friends you have known il,
the day now agone,
Must love them and understand best.

To the Editor of

To the Editor of
Bismarck Tribune:
For some months past the Quee-
ton Of whether or not this govern
ment should pass The so-called ad-
justed mpensation-or bonus-bill
has been continually before the pub
lie. The viewpoint of service men
has been given little prominence, and
| therefore ask that YOU publish this
letter so that your readers may hear
briefly what the proponents of the
measure have to say.
First of all, wish to call attent on
to the fact that the service men have
been given'to underst and at all times
that such a measure would be passed.
even the veto of President Han ding
being based primarily on the sup
posed condition of the treasury Sec.
Mellon had informed him that there
would be approximately two-thirds of
a billion deficit without any expense
of an adjusted compensation bill. Mr..
Melons figures were wrong. for the
close of the period showed a surplus
OF nearly third of q billion, or a
total error in Mr.. Melons estimate
of about one billion dollars. The
service men of this nation and their
friends therefore have right to as
sumo that Mr.. Mellon is not infall-
ibles and that his present statements
are by no means the words of an in
spired oracle.
The service men have been given
to understand by the leaders of all
factions at all times that an adjust
ed compensation bill would be BASS
ed. They believe that the sNrv.ces
which they rendered will be by no
means overpaid should tie bill be
paid. The argument that SUCH pay
ment is putting price on patriot
ISM is all bunk. The five or six
dollars month we had left after
paying government insurance pre-
miums, compulsory allotments, etc.
was putting a price on patriotism"
too if either is the case. All coun-
tries after all wars have universally
made additional settlement after the
emergency subsidized. not only to
those who were disabled but to all who
served at a nominal pay. The otLer
allied nations in the world war,
though more heavily encumbered
with war debt than we, have already
provided compensation. The United
States, the richest of them all, stands
before the world as "too poor to pay
a just debt to the country's defend
ers, according to those who are spon-
soring the so-called Mellon plan.
All of us are in favor 6f tax re
duction as far as possible. Likewise,
most honest men are in favor of pay
ing just debts. 1t is absolutely GER
tain that a substantial tax reduction
can be had without sand bagging the
interests of the men who fought. The
daily newspapers tell us that the
