STATE GRANGE OFFICER
NOT PLEASED WITH GOV.
HARTLEY'S Policies

OLYMPIA, Dec. IA, 1926.--Im-
Piled support Of the movement to re-
call Governor Roland H. Hartley, is
given by the Washington Grange in
statement Of Fred J. Chamberlain,

capabilities Of Lieut.. Governor Lon

recall. will succeed to the governor
ship. Among other matters discussed

dent Coolidge's message, which is de-
clared to meet the peoples high estl-
mate Of the chief executive; the pres
ent session Of Congress, which is
urged to adhere to the budget system,
and the marvellous growth of Seattle
and Puget Sound.
In The Agricultural Grange News
member Of the Grange asks the at
titude of the organization. with re-
spect to the recall Of Governor Hart
ley. The writer Of the letter of in
CURRY says:
Governor Hartle y has turned
down practically ali the measures we
deem most essential for our welfare,
/ recall his failure to appoint men Of
broad knowledge Of and sympathy
with agriculture to the Agricultural
Department and Tax Commission, and
that he ignored every suggestion that
the Agricultural Council made. In the
event Of Governor Hartley's recall
would we fare any better under the
administration Of Mr.. Johnson?"
The answer Of Fred J. Chamberlain,
State Grange legislative committee
man follows:
"Of course the Grange as an organ
igation can take no part IN this re-
cali fight, but If the proper petitions
are filed and an election Is called, It
win be the civic duty Of each Granger

dition arrived home and were greeted
by business and professional men of
the city .late today.
The expedition, headed by DR.. c.

John and Paul Hoefler has spent
several months in the most inacces-
sible parts of the African continent,
studying particularly the pygmy tribe
of bushmen of the south Kalahari
desert, believed to be the lowest
form of human life in existence to-
day They described the strange
bushmen as short of stature, averag-
ing about four feet in height short
legged, but fleet of foot. The primi-
tive people are fast being extermi-
mated by stronger tribes and the raw
ages of disease. They speak Ian
guage unlike any. other human Ian
guage, a series of tongue clicks, Of
which the explorers made an extern
sive study.

APPROPRIATION
HELD
YET NECESSARY
} lRv nisnatch A. p Mirel

WASHINGTON, April 24.-Senate
and house leaders emerged from a
breakfast conferencel at the White
House today with two things in
mind-holding down appropriations
and adjourning
/, House leaders even saw prospects
of quitting for the summer by May
rs and some of the senators thought
it would be possible to finish up the
Legislative program early in May and
then consider the impeachment of
Federal Judge English of Illinois.
The guests got the very definite
impression that the president thought
appropriations had gone about far
enough for this session, and Repre-
sentative Tilson, the republican floor
leader, expressed the opinion that it
would be best for congress to adj
journ and go home inasmuch as 1--WE
have no money to spend"
1t was gathered from expressions
of the. leaders that farm relief legis-
lation which would place an imme-
diate tax on the treasury would have
rocky road to travel, but none
would say definitely whether the
pending measures came in this class.
Another bill which some Of them
expect to be vetoed is the measure
to increase the pensions of disabled
Spanish war veterans. The president
.now has this measure and is seeking
the opinion of Director Lord of the
budget, as to how it will affect gov
ernment finances.

cent bountiful rains ana excellent
spring feed on the desert will enable
sheepmen who semi-annually drive a
quarter of a million head of sheep
from the southern plains to the north
ern mountains and back to delay their
drive for several weeks. This an
nouncement was made today by the
supervisor of the Prescott national
forest, following requests for two
weeks extension of the usual time for
making the drives which usually con
sumo month and half.
Foul driveways, across the forest
lands for the sheep, movement, are
set aside by federal regulation, and
this land has sufficient feed to car
ry" the great migratory aerds each
spring and fall. Sheepmen report the
most prosperous outlook in several
years. Enabled to delay their an

their lambs from the spring feeding
ground instead of carrying them along
with the main herds.

Ell PASO, Texas, April 24.-Educa-
tional and not religious motives are
responsible for Mexico's attitude to-
wards religious institutions, a com.
mittee of II investigators reported
here today on its return from Mexico
City where it has studied conditions
in the southern republic.
The committee, which included a
Jewish rabbi and representatives of
the Congregational anG Methodist
faiths, described President Gales of
Mexico as a tolerant man, eager to
improve the spiritual, material and
economic condition Of his people
through an intensive educational cam
paign. The committee recommended
that the United States pursue hands
off policy until the Gales govern
ment has had an opportunity to put
it's plan into operation.
Albert Coyle of Cleveland, a repre-
sentative of the labor press and the
Rev Frank Hampton Fox of El Paso,
another member of the committee,
emphasized the economic and educa-
tional necessity for the Mexican gov

"Old families have accumulated
property in Mexico for generations
DR.. Fox said. ''They would build up
family fortune and then some prod

The church has never been a prodigal
spender and in the course of centu-
ries about one-half of the land in
Mexico has come into its hands.
president Gales assured us that
the government meant to De fair to

Coyle quoted President Gales as
saying:
