dictional bill that will meet with
Executive approval. A year ago
the President and the Budget Com
mittee announced their opposition
to blanket juisdictional Indian
bill. The Chippewas accepted the
terms laid down by the President
and the Budget Committee. The
jurisdictional bill of the Chippe
was authorizes the prosecution of
only those claims growing out of
the agreement Of 1889. Claims
arising under prior treaties cannot
be prosecuted under the Chippewa
jurisdictional bill. The other In
dians throughout the country re-.
fused to accept the condition laid
down by the President and Gene
raj Lord and have had introduced
aud reported out blanket jurisdic.
tional bills. President Coolidge is
quite firm. Having announced
his position with reference to
jurisdicrional bills it is a safe bet
that when the other bills reach the
White House they will receive
Executive vetoes. 1t is also safe
bet that they cannot be passed
through Congress over the Presid
ent's veto. That would require a
two third vote of each House.
The classification bill will reach
Congress within a few days The
stage is already set for it's recep.
tion, and little delay will occur in
reporting it to both the House and
Senate.
As soon as Superintendent Allen
submits his report on the Rice
Lake Reserve Bill 1t Will be started
along the legislative road. The
bill has been referred to him for
report designating the particular
lands necessary to be included in
the reserve. Since the decision in
the Swamp Land Case it has been
agreed by. all parties thatsthe. re-
serve snoulG include no more land
than is actually necessary to pre-
serve the rice fields for the InGians.
The land adjoining the lake is now
owned by the State and it will be
necessary to either purchase the
land or lease it from the State.
The purchase or lease money must
come out of the Chippewa funds.

Hearing to determine the ad-
visibility Of strengthening or
modifying the Volstead Act have
held the center of the stage at the
National Capitol for the past two
weeks. Some illuminating facts
have come to light during the
hearing. Its has been shown that
more than two million stills exist
in homes in tie United States and
are in active operation; that there
is an excess of bootleg liquor be
ing manufactured in the United
States and that Canadian author
tiles are complaining about its ex
portation to Canada; that it would
cost seventy-6ve million dollars
per annum to enforce the Volstead
Act in the city of New York alone,
and that to attempt to enforce it
rigidly throughout the United
States would in a few years bank
rupt the Government. Theoretl
cally the United States is dry, but
in fact large portions of it are as
wet as the Great Lakes. Assist

serted with great glee that since
the enactment of the Volstead Act
there has been a greater degree of
prosperity among the masses than
ever before. The vets replied
that such was the case, but tnat
the prosperity had been produced
by turning the liquor traffic over
to the poor people who were now
deriving the profits that the large
distillers formally derived, plus
the more than five hundren mil
lion dollars annually paid to the
Government in taxes, and plus the
increased cost of tho bootleg pro
duct over the cost of good distilled
liquor. Thus according to the
arguments of the vets some two
or three billions of dollars are now
annually going into the pockets
of the poor people, who have be-
come law violators, with resultant
loss to the Government in the
form of taxation as we'll as the loss
to the nation in the injury of the

mittee to meet and dispose of the

For instance, several judges may

Automobile Operators
Permit Refunds

When the present Motor Vehicle
Title Law was enacted, it was the
general impression that every per-
son operating an automobiles was
required to obtain Drivers Per-
nit. for which a charge of fifty
cents was made by the county as
SCISSORS. Believing that this charge
was not applicable to owners of
automobiles, and desiring to effect
a saving to car owners, James II.
Kerby, secretary of state, requested
an opinion from the Attorney Cen
eral. who held that owners OF cars
were not required to pay for Up
orators Permits, and all persons
driving but not owning automobiles
be charged fifty cents for their per-
mits. failure to obtain such per-
mits subjecting them to a penaly
in accordance with Section Is.
The office of the secretary OF
state thereupon Immediately pro-
ceeded to refund to automobile
owners all fifty cent payments
which they had made through their
county assessors, and has now
completed this work according to
the records.
If there are any owners of auto
mobiles who for any reason have
failed to receive a refund of the
fifty cents which they have paid,
they are requested to Immediately
advise James H. Kerby, secretary
of state, state house, Phoenix, Ar1-
IONA, giving their Operators Per-
nit Number, Certificate of Title
Number, correct name and address,
and the address given at the time
of obtaining the Permit and Certi-
ficate of Title, and refund will be

SHRINERS BUILD FREE HOSPITALS FOR

Shriners of North America with a
big movement for the assistance
and alleviation of dependent Grip
pied children.
1t was he who first voiced the
hope that this work should take
the form of a great charity for un-
fortunate children; who first
brought up the proposal at Indian
apolis in 1919, and carried the
thought all over North America
during his term as Imperial Poten-
tate.
But it is safe to say that not
even Noble Hendricks broad vision
could forsee the magnitude to
which his idea would grow. Who
could have believed that within a
few years the shrine would be
maintaining thirteen institutions
for the help of the crippled child
with a total of about $50 hospital
beds, and treating thousands OF
children a year; and with other
hospitals and working units COM
ing on, which will increase this
capacity to nearly 1000 beds?
The Shriners hospitals and mo-
bile units are open to every Grip
pied child, without restriction as
to race or religion, subject to the
following requirements:
The parents or guardians must
be financially unable to pay for its
treatment.
The child must be not over Ia
years of age, of normal mentality
and there must be reasonable hope
of materially improving the ch1ld's
condition through orthopedic sur
gerry.
Applications may be made thru
any Shriner, the officers OF the
nearest Shrine temple, or directly
to the chairman of the Governing
Board of the nearest hospital. Ad-
missions are directed by the CHIEF
surgeon and applicants will take
their places on the waiting lists.
