sUsPENDs DEER KILLING

Governor Pierce of oregon has is
sued proclamation susepending the
open season for killing deer and
other large game, beginning August
20. Forest fires have been numerous
and widespread owing to the long
drouth. The danger Of more confla-
grations from numerous hunters en-
tering the forests and setting fires
from shooting and camping, is tre-
mendous.
Many of the deer are driven from
their usual habitat and crowded in
to small areas. The governors action
Is fully justified by humanity.
The killing of game is absolutely
prohibited until there has been suf-
ficient rain to avert all possible dan
ger Of forest fires.
His splendid example will be fol-
lowed by many other states that
have suffered from drouth and for
est fires

Subway passengers are familiar
with the signs 'Three-car STOP or
"Four-car STOP" displayed at stations
for the guidance of metormen, but

some of the big North river piers for
the aid Of pilots docking liners. AT

she was pupil of Donizetti. Now
Donizetti died in 1S4S, IA years

MAY EXHIBIT LIVESTOCK
UNDER MODIFIED RULING

The following information rela-
tive to modification order OF the Of,

interest to those who may be desir-
GUS OF exhibiting livestock at the
fall fairs:
Enclosed herewith is Official
Modification No. OF our quarantine
No. against the foot and mouth
disease in California.
prior to this time it was mad
visable to attempt to exhibit live
stock at fairs to be held In Idaho
this fall, but the disease is almost
eradicated, and under control in the
hands of federal officials in Cali
fornia, and 1t is deemed perfectly
safe at the present time by the de-
partment of agriculture to hold ex-
hibits of live stock at our county
and district fairs. However, live
stock exhibited must come from
part of the county not under quar-
antine for foot and mouth disease.
1t maye yet be possible to as
semble exhibits for all of the later
fairs, and some exhibits for those
to be held in the near future. We
would ask that you give this matter

make exhibition of livestock at any
fair In Idaho may do SO.

DONKEY AND MULE

The donkey and the mule, slandered
and slurred. more often cursed than
discussed, maligned and impugned as
obstreperous, cantankerous beasts OF
burden, have served man hong ana
well. The best donkeys, says the
Brooklyn Eagle, are not to be tound

mines and mountainous regions the
patiently working little beasts daliy

The donkeys of Spain are especially
good, md in Egypt the donkey is tar
more precious than the horse. IL is
said that the donkey is far better
able to find its way over the DESERT
than Is the camel, and travellers have
reported seeing long lines OF camels
travelling in a caravan with a single
donkey In the lead. The camels carry
the water supply for their little pliot
of the caravan and, In return for TINS
service, he leads them safely IN the
right direction.
The donkey Is the father or the
mule. On the eastern continent don
KEYS run wild and have interDred

and an excellent mels DRY. AS mat
ter of fact, their memory is often TOO
good. They will long remember peo-
pie who have mistreated them ana
plainly show their resentment for a
long time after. They are alike en-
dowed with a will power that is
peculiarly strong and they like TO
have their own way. This trait has
earned for them the reputation of be- ]
Ing balky, obstreperous and obstinate.
The donkey has a mouth that is
lined with very tough skin so that
he can live on vegetable fare that

Calvin Coolidge early took his
place upon the farm. Born in
Plymouth, Vermont, twelve miles
from the nearest railroad depot, he
is the son of a dirt farmer and has
experienced all the hardships, re-
verses and arduous labors that fall
to the lot of the farmer boy. One
biographer has said of him:
While many of the boys of to-
day are feverishing putting on the
golf green, Cal was happy in pursu-
ing to its native lair the sportive
potato. He early and always has
been an artist in moving and
he early became an adept in
divorcing the lowing herd which
winds slowly DER the lea from the
raw material which makes for
butter and cheese"
He took the oath of office in the
Coolidge farm house.
And, as the biographer has

Perennially aspirants to public
office, mindful of the farmer vote,
become converts to the cause of
agriculture and the farmer and
demand justice for the tillers of the
soil.
To them there Is no significance
in the fact that they have been
little concerned with this great div
ision of the citizenry during the
off-campaign season. The votes
the thing, and one may look from
now until November for a veritable
deluge of oratory and pictorial
evidence that all candidates are for
Justice for the farmer" More
often than not it is an artificial
sponsorship calculated to mislead
the Man With the Hoe.
An exception to the rule is re-

USELESS TINKERING

A constitutional amendment to b.
submitted to Oregon voters at thu
November election provides that "al
employees OF all public and private
employers engaged in hazardous oc
supations, are subject to provisions
of the workingman's compensation
law; they shall not, at any time, by
any substitute, by any contract or by
any consideration, or any circum-
stances, in any manner of form ex-
clude or be permitted to exclude
themselves or any of them from the
provision of said laws on or after
the first day of January, 1926"
In plain English, the amendment
would establish state monopoly in
employers liability and workingmen
compensation insurance.
Supporters of the amendment al
lege that private companies, by Of
fering insurance at less than cost,
have induced 1900 employers to car
ry their workingmen' compensa-
ton insurance with private compa-
MES instead of the state.
What the advocates of this So
cialistic measure do not tell the peo-
pie is this: 1t is entirely within the
function of the states authority to
pass a workingmen's compensation
law such as it has done and specify
exactly how much money shall be
paid to an injured workman for any
accident, including death Of the en-
rloyee. The state law can provide
how this money shall be paid and
when it shall be paid A private in
surance company can be required to
make settlement with an employee
in accordance with the state law just
as easily as taxpayer can be re-
quired to make his tax payments in
accordance with the state law.
There is no earthly reason for es-
.ablishing state insurance depart
nent to make these payments IN
ess private companies cannot rem
Ter service or unless they charge
,xorbHant rates. But if state fund
S established in order to furnish
Insurance at supposedly cheaper
ates, there is no possible excuse for
making it a monopoly to the exclu-
ion of private companies in the in
urance business.
In the present case it seems that {
ecause private companies have
'ritten insurance cheaper than fur
ished by the state, they are to be
by constitutional amend
lent which forces them out of bust !
ess through state monopoly of the \
isualty insurance business. Q

Representative Knutson last
week introduced bill in the House
of Representatives comforting jur-,

to pass upon all claims the Chip.
pewa Indians of Minnesota may
have against the United States.
The Minnesota Chippewas have
many just claims against the gov
eminent which they have not been
able to present under the present
laws. Under the bill just intro
duced by Representative Knutson
all claims must be submitted to
the Court of Claims within five
years after the law is passed or
they cannot be passed upon.
The bill was referred to the
Committee on Indian Affairs.
Leaders of the House said the ex-
pected it could be passed on the
calendar before the recess unless
some opposition developed.

Indian Citizenship
Bill Passes Senate

On the 18th of this month, we
are informed, that bill granting
full citizenship to all Indians born
within the territorial limits of the
United States, was passed by the
Senate and is to 60 back to the
House for final action, when it
will be ready for the Presidents
signature in order to become a
law.
If our information is correct,
and we believe it is, and should
the bill become a law, it will cause
great rejoicing among the Indians
of the United States VINO for many
long years have been striving for
this goal, and striving to under
the oppression of the Indian
Bureau. The Indians as citizens
and not ''wards", if they will stick
together. will soon become power
politically and be able to elect
men to public office who they are
sure will stanc by them, and the
age of "wardship", subsection by
superintendents or other Indian
Bureau officials will go into the
discard. This is the first step, we
believe, toward the final abolish
ment of the Indian Bureau, and is
the result of earnest effort in
behalf of the Indians by conscien-
tious person, coupled with the
wave of protest that has been
sweeping over the entire country
against the Indian Bureaus admin
istration of the affairs of the
American Indians.
We sincerely hope that the bill
referred to becomes law, so that
the American Indian may cake his
place in the oody polite iu this
land that was originally his and
in which position he rightfully
belongs.
Later-The Indian citizenship
bill has passed Congress and is
now awaiting the Presidents
signature to become a law.

The Annual Celebration.

Last week we outlined to you
our plans for carrying out the
18th of June Celebration, and
among other things mentioned was
the fact that the village of White
Earth is the host for this occasion,
and with that in view we urge
every resident of White Earth and
adjacent vicinity to act as one
body and cooperate in every way
to make the proposition a success.
The Indian people are beginning
10 realize the value of this under.
taking and those who said they
never would again have anything
to do. with the celebration are
taking a renewed and active inter-
est in it. The Detroit Business
Mems Association is interested
again and we feel that they will
give US liberal support in our ad-
vertising propaganda and in at
tendance. Attendance is the main
object and to secure it we must
attract in some form or other.
County Fair attractions are COM
mon and people want to see some
thing different. We have some
thing different from the usual
form Of entertainment, and which
was outlined to you last week, and
the program committee, which was
carefully selected, is already patti,
eDtly engaged in working up the
various events and we are confident
that success awaits them and let
US do nothing that will hinder
them. No doubt if our program
meets with public satisfaction,
next year it will be much easier to
duplicate it on larger scale end
the whole County of Becker will
give US material assistance in
putting on a larger and more
elaborate celebration.
Now, remember the slogan
which we recommended to you in
last weeks issue-"Boost for
