 But let us keep to the philoso- phical discussion of the literacy bill. I ask the editor of the Legionnaire to square tn eresolution with the Constitution of our country. Certain ly he cannot look any further or deeper for true principles of demo- Cracy. The Constitution begins: :"We the PEOPLE of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Unicn, establish Justice, insure do- mestic Tranquility, * and to se- cure the blessings of liberty to our selves and our Posterity."
 believe that of all organizations who have proposed a hteracy test, the American Legion has the least prejudice. The trouble is not with their intention to be just and fair. but the failure to study the rights of so-called illiterates, or the animuS which first proposed this literacy test. The superficial treatment which the proposed measure would afford and the utter lack of effort on the part ol pfopOSeIS ol Illl9 measure to go to the root of the trouble is an evidence of ignorance.
 The cure is not to have literacy test law, but to provide adequate schools for all children and a strong compulsory school law with officers to see that all children shall go to school. This is the final test of consistency and sincerity.
 At Juneau, where the Legiona!ro is printed, all Natives pay the schoo! tax, but no child goes to the public school, supported in part by these funds until the school board has made the child comply with many conditions which are not imposed on any other race, or color For years. sixty or more of these chil- Gren have been crowded into crack
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-06-15

CT box, with no facilities, and only one teacher, who was asked to teach all grades. This same is true of Ketchkan, Petersburg, Douglas, and Sitka. The facts are really worse, for these incorporated towns con tribute directly only one-fourth of the school expenses, deriving the other 75 per cent from territorial funds. Thus native communities where there is no public school what ever, like Yakutat, Hoonah, Rake, kiilisnoo, Angoon, Bayview and oth- CTS are contributing to the support of these schools from which Indian children are excluded.
 Lastly, if 1 were mere 'cheap pclitician," l would drop the school issue. 1 would also drop the "trap issue' Hundreds of children in Alaska are growing up in compara- tive ignorance because of the lack of school facilities due to the direct opposition of the territorial school authorities. Thousands of laboring men are kept in comparative pow arty by the raVages of the Fish Trap These questions will not be settled unti! they are settled right.
 We have no quarrel with the Am erican Legion; but we believe that they are wrong on this issue, not because the bulk of the Legion are wrong, but because certain leaders of theirs, living in the false atmos- phere of Juneau, have not taken the care to go to the root of the ques- tion. l hope the Legion editor would, in his next issue, treat with the Declaration of Independence and the Consultation and square his argu- ment with these great documents. Never mind my poor efforts. Tackle the cradles of our liberties and see if your literacy test for voters can be justified therein
The Alaska fisherman., 1924-06-15
LOGIC
ReductiO ad Absurdum

falsity of an argument or a position can be clearly shown by continuing the argument and showing the "ab- surdity."
 Probably the best argument that can be made to support Literacy Test Bill is contained in the last issue of the Alaska Legionnaire.
 First, he says: "A number of years ago Congress in it's wisdom made literacy requisite for an immigrant to enter this country" And, again, "If illiterate immigrants are right fully barred as undesirable, etc.
 The bill to which the writer re- ferred did not become a law and so more than one half of the editorial can be passed over.
 The second argument reads like this: "To be consistent, like the politicians, if man is good enough to fight he is good enough to vote. If he is good enough to vote, he is god enough to hold office. If he is good enough to hold office he is good enough to be selected to a high executive position, even though he has to depend on someone else to read state documents for him and affix his official signature with mark. The Legion is able to dis tinguish that although a man might be physically qualified for combat he may not be mentally competent to discharge one of the highest duties of citizenship"
 Is there a thing wrong with the logic of the Legion writer? Not thing. The above statement is a good definition of pure democracy. I would change one sentence to read, "providing the majority of the citl- zens want that man to be elected to a high executive position even though he has to depend on someone else to read state documents for him and affiN his official signature with mark.
 Let the Legion members reread the Declaration of Independence, and square their resolution against illit- eracy with that great cradle of our iberties ''To secure these ends (pursuit of life, liberty and happi- ness), governments were established among men, deriving their just pow CTS from the consent of the gov" erned.". This is the challenge of the Alaska Fisherman to the American Legion It is not whether or not I am "cheap politician" The thinking citizens of Alaska know that the literacy test issue has not been raised to strike at the Natives. It is something entirely different, altho many sincere people believe in the measure. The real purpose of those who raised the issue is to cnt down the liberal and labor vote.

COCKLEBUR CAUSES SOME
LOSSES To SHEEP GROWERS

The common weed known as cock
lebur was responsible for consider
able sheep losses in Rosebud county
during the months of June and July,
according to a report from Dr.. How
ard WEIGH, veterinarian at Montana
State College to R. B. Mercer, county
agent. DR.. Welch found the weed
prevalent in all sections where losses
occurred and vigorous eradication
campaign under the direction of the
county agent put an end to the
trouble for the remainder of the
season. The banks of streams and
bitches were favorite places for the
weed. DR.. WEIGH explained that
cocklebur is. only poisonous during
its very early growth, at the time
when the first two leaves appear.
In the sections where the losses oc-
Cured new plants kept coming on
during the season as the water in the
streams became lower. Thus the
poison season was extended over
considerable period of time.

New Quartz Find
Ruins AS High AS
$l18.OOO linn Gold

With small box containing a
dozen pieces of quartz literally
sprinkled with coarse gold, one
button containing $1,000, melted
from an ounce and a quarter piece
of ore, and an assay from other
samples that returned values of
S188,000 in gold to the ton, E. A.
Morley of the Red Mountain Hy-
draulic placer recently returned to
Butte from the Rimini property
jubilant over the recent find which
may develop into an exceedingly
rich quartz mine. VI
The Red Mountain placers ac-
quired a few years ago by Mr.. Morley,
Charles Hewett, Frank Winger and
other Butte men, is located between
Butte and Helena and is a few miles
from Rimini, where the famous por-
phry dixie is located. Last season
the cleanup on placer was highly
satisfactory, and this year the opera
lions were greatly increased.
Mr.. Winger found in one of the
placer sluices piece of quartz which
was literally sprinkled with gold. A
search of the sluices brought a
score of rich quartz specimens to
light.

Congress opposed to any dealings be-
tween the Federal authorities and the
states which did not possess funds
with which to match the Federal
grants.
Other speakers emphasized the
fact that the 1922 legislature Grip
pied Federal Aid plans in Montana by
putting state road funds in the hands
of the several counties. The records
showed that Montana counties last
year had about 100000 of Mon
tana road funds, and that less than
20 per cent of these funds had been
used to match Federal Aid.
1t was also shown that by giving
the state half the auto license tax
and all of the gas tax arrangements
could be made to match the states
share of Federal Aid in the next two
years, and build many miles of good
road for the state.
Chairman George Lanstrum of the
State Highway Commission declared
at this meeting that if provision we're
not made for state highway fund
with which to match Federal Aid in
the next two years, there would be
little else for the State Highway
Commission to do but wind up pres
ent contracts and go out of business.
1t was for the purpose of render
ing assistance in the solution of this
grave problem that the Montana
Good Roads and Automobile Associa-
ton was formed.

President Sid j.. Coffee OF ~the
recently organized Montana Good
Roads and Automobile association
has named the following Executive
Committee of seven to direct the
activities of that body with parti-
cular reference to seriously needed
legislation to provide state high
way funds for Montana:
Andrew j. Davis, Butte; A. J.
Breitenstein, Great Falls; w. E.
Dowlin, Billings; P. N. Bernard,
Kalispell; VIM. G. Ferguson, Hell
ena; H. o. Bell, MisouIa; and George
J. Weideman, Lewistown.
This committee has been request
ed to use its greatest efforts in be-
half of the movement for Montana
state highways, moulding public
opinion in their districts and where
ever else they can, in favor of the
proposals adopted atthe recent meet
ing in Helena at which this organ
ization was perfected.
President Coffee states that a
meeting of the executive committee
will be held in the near future for
the purpose of outlining definite
steps to be taken throughout the
state by the Montana Good Roads
and Automobile association.
This organization grew out of a
meeting of the State Executive Good
Roads Committee held at Helena,
August 4, called by Chairman Sid j.
Coffee to discuss the urgent neces-
city of immediate steps to insure the
enactment of laws at the forthcoming
session of legislature, such laws as
will provide state highway fund
with which to match and thus save
Montana's share of Federal Aid road
funds.
There were present at this meet
ing representatives from Butte,
Great Falls, Billings, Missoula, Hell
ena, Livingston, Kalispell, Bozeman
and Whitefish, as well as other state
centers.
Congressman Scott Leavitt in
formed the delegates that he had |
cure as much Federal assistance as
possible. The Cotton Bill was de-
signed to give states of small popula-
ton, such as Montana, practically
one hundred per cent Federal Aid
on primary system roads, he said.
The Dowell Bill, which would be i'm
portant to Montana, was expected to
pass quickly at the next session of
Congress.
But, the Congressman declared,
Montana must have state highway
fund, and all of the gas tax should
be in that fund. He stated that

slain and wounded, Babies wer,
shot, and women who, exhausted
sat down to rest, were mercilessl,
Slaughtered. One of the womer
killed was the daughter of Dull
Knife, who was carrying another
woman's child.
Some reached the hills and hid
in holes in the rocks. Most OF
these were killed. Sixty-five were
captured, and taken back to the
post. The next day soldiers with
six mule teams were sent out to
bring in the dead. About fifty
we're found.
Grinnell says, "The dead were
brought in and unloaded like dogs.
The soldiers got into the full wa
CONS and standing on the bodies
took the frozen corpses by the
heads and feet and tossed them to
the ground. After a wagon was
partly unloaded, men standing on
the ground reached in, took the
bodies by the feet or head, dragged
them out and let them drop to the
ground"

A girl wounded in the foot arose,
and leaning against the wall an

not go back; we will die rather.
You have killed most of us, why do
you not go ahead and finish the
work."
Fifteen of the escaped Indians
were pursued by the soldiers, and
finally took refuge in buffalo wal
low. The troops surrounded them
and kept UP fire allday, killing all
but three women. When these
fifteen were first overtaken, Cap
tain Vessels asked the interpreter
to demand their surrender. The in
terpreter replied that he did not
like to do so.
"Are you afraid?" asked the Cap

if you command me to" replied the
interpreter. He went to the edge
of the wallow, and Captain Vessels
accompanied him, when a shot from
the Indians passed between the
two, causing Captain Vessels to
luck his head. He lost his bal
ance and rolled to the bottom of the
but on the outside. The
interpreter inquired of him whe-
her he would not like to come up
