Permits Required ~ rnst
Several years ago 1t was required that
all who wished to cut Christmas trees
must secure permits from the local for
estry office. A force of deputies was en-
ployed for enforcing the ruling. but the
arrangement was not satisfactory and has
since been discontinued, though 1t is
still q misdemeanor to cut trees in ma
tional forest preserves.
Mr.. Taylor cited as an example of the
lengths to which Christmas tree seekers
will go, the vandalism that occurred at
the summer home OF a prominent Butte
resident. One of the large evergreens,
priced as q shade tree and as an en-
hancement Of the beauty of the prem
ises, was ruthlessly shorn OF its top, the
manned trunk left standing in the yard.
The topping Of the large trees to secure
the symmetrical apex, Mr.. Taylor consid-
ers a practice that should be vigorously
dealt with.
viii BE Commercial
There are not more thai 500 fir trees
to the acre In any OF the timbered areas
around the city. Approximately 10000
trees are cut annually and upon this
basis, Mr.. Taylor estimates there will be
no frs in Ave years. Christmas trees
were shipped into Butte this year M in
a short time will be q commercial prod
uct. They will be cut under regulation
in the heavily timbered areas of west
ern Montana and Washington and will
be taken from areas bordering railroads.
They will not cost more than they do
now when bought from vendors, who sell
them about the city during the holidays.
Permits granting the privilege of cut
ting trees In Thompson park were issued
by a city official. Mr.. Taylor called his
attention to the fact that the park Is ma
tional forest property and that the per-
mits must be revoked. II could not thin
that residents Of the city would willingly
have the beauty OF the Thompson park
drive mutilated by the cutting down OF
the trees" Mr.. Taylor said.

OF THE
COLONIAL COUNCIL

Continued from Saturdays AUjS.)
4th Member for Frederiksted Country
District (M. NJ. Ske0ch): Mr.. Chairman,
more or less these remarks are becoming
yearly occurrences. | think it is a waste
OF time to discuss the budget because we
do not make any head way, it is tale of
woe here. | think if we can act on the
budget as a legislative body we should do
so because the Council might be misre-
presented. Ii was not my intention to at
tend this meeting, but it afterwards Oc-
CURED to me that it is ones duty to at
tend the meetings when he is elected. 70
me the whole thing is a farce.
3rd Member for Christiansted Town
(FabiO): Mr.. Chairman, don't you think
that much Of this trouble is due to the
fact that the Council at one time gave uD
the control Of the municipalities affairs
to the Executive?
The Chairman: You are referring to
the different commissions?
3rd Member for Christjansted Town
(FGb1O): Yes.
3rd Member for Chrisfiansted Town
(FG6jO): continuing: For the short time |
have been IN this Council | have read the
Colonial Law and | see no where in it
where the COuaciI has the right to give
that power to the Executive. That is the
cause of all the trouble. Really people
are inquirinG of US what money is spent
on public Institutions and we are not in a
position to say. | think it is high time for
this Council to function in a proper way.
LIST Member for Christiansted Country
District (ALerander): Mr.. Chairman, can
the DespatchIng Secretary furnish this
Council with a copy of the Act of Con-
gress increasing the judges salary?

copy of it. He is acting on advice from
the Governor which was received by tele-
graph.
1st Member for Christiansted Country
District (ALeTGnder): Mr.. Chairman, |
think this is a mistake on the part of
Congress. AS far as | understand there
was an act before that body providing
for an increase in salary to the Federal
Judges and without knowing conditions
as they exist in these Islands they pass
the act and include the District Court
Judge of the Virgin Islands. | believe
the Governor acted hastily in giving the
Judge a new appointment. he might have
waited until after the act came to ha !.
had he done so there would be no need
for this discussion.
The Chairman: | have been looking up
the Congressional Record and have not
been able to find anything in it that
would give an idea as to what the inten-
ton of Congress is in regard to this mat
ter. | think we will see the Federal APP.
preparation much more reduced, because
understand that they contemplate in
creaSing the salaries of Clerks and Stem
OgrapherS Of the Courts The question
that occurs to me is if the people of these
islands get no Federal appropriation
would they be bound to pay the Iog II,
salary?
Despatching Secretary (ForU3U: Mr..
Chairman, | have no intOrmluOn that
Congress intends to cut out the Federal
appropriation for these islands. Ii such
is going to be the case these Islands will
not be under the obligation to pay any
salary fixed by Congress.
3rd Member for Frederik5ted Country
District (AnderSen): Mr.. Chairman, | am
glad to see that the remarks of the Hon.
orable LIST Member for Christiansted
Country District harmonic with that of
the Municipal Committee. 1t was a bit
premature to act before the Act OF
Congress was recei we'd The Governor
might have thought it all right to give
the Judge a new appointment but the
Council of St. CrOiX might see different
to that. Coming back to the budget |
cannot see the necessity for submitting
three drafts of budget, what difference
would it make if the difference in the
appropriation for these islands is a few
thousand dollars less? We have an estim-
ated deficit of Frcs 53I, 100000 In former
years we had a more dignIfied way of
writing do IN this deficit, it was always
written ESTIMATED difference between
Revenues and Expenditures to be made

Government would adopt this old style of
writing instead of the word deficit. Our
revenues are also estimated and are

get, because it would cast a bad reflection
on this Council. If we refuse to pass the
budget the matter might be represented
to some congressman IN such a way that
it might leave the impression that this
Council bias no regard whatsoever. For
the twelve years | have been serving in
this Council | know that much infOrma-
ton has gone up North to the effect that
this Council is a very unreliable body and
| should feel sorry indeed to see a repeti
riOn OfthiS. During my visit t. Wash
ington several members Of Congress told
me that they have no time to digest in
formation received from the Virgin
Islands, they only give a surface glance
to everything. | don't think we would
be doing ourselves any good to ask the
Governor to ask the President to put the
budget in force. | recommend to the
Council to pass the budget with or with
out amendment but don't refuse to pass
it. 1t is our sacred duty to pass the Uud
get in'one form or another.
1st Member for Christiansted Country
District (ALeuander): Mr.. Chairman, |
would like to ask the Despatchlng Secre-
tary whether the Section in the Code deal
ing with the Judges salary has been set
aside.
Despatching Secretary (F0T1UeW: MIR.
Chairman, as far as | know 1t has not
been set aside. That section of the Code
dealing with the Judges salary, as far as
know, is not mentioned IN the Act of
Congress.
End Member for Christiansted Country
District CJQckSon): Mr.. Chairman, when
ever a law Is made by Congress it changes
the local laws ipSo factO.
5th Appointed Member (ArmStrOng):
Mr.. Chairman. | say more than that,
whenever it is contemplated to make any
change in the laws of any of the outlying
possessions it is the custom to send a man
date to the Governor notifying him of
the proposed change, up to the present
time no mandate has been received, so |
think it is better to nod up this matter
until such a mandate is received,
LIST Member for Cnristiansted Country
District ~tAJerander): Mr.. Chairman, the
remarks OF the Honorable 5,h Appointed
Member corrOborate what | hay~ said.
We have a law here creating The Judges
position and his salary.
The Chairman: Ii what the 5th APP
pointed Member says is correct what WE
should do Is TO provide for the salary of
the Judge Of the District Court. The
law say we have to provide the money.
5lh Appointed Member IA mStrOng):
Mr.. Chairman, | feel that in view OF all
that has been said here today We should
take no notice of the Act of Congress.

MY PUBLIC SCHOOL GRAD
UATION.


A solemn march was playing. All
the graduates dressed in white,
marched in like soldiers, one behind
the other.
We sat down in our seats and soon
the principal came up on the plat
form and started to fead the "holy
bible"
Then we all stood up and sang "The
Star Spangled Banner" Also gave
the pledge to the American flag. The
program began. The play was very
dry and the actors went through
their parts like machines. We sang
some songs, of course they were pa
triotic and almost every song had the
word God"
Now the most important part of
the graduation exercises for the
teachers and principal came. That
was the speeches. Well, you can
imagine what kind of speeches they
were. Everyone who addressed us
seemed very solemn. They told US a
lot of Chunk"
One said, "You are in the hands of
the almighty God. Let US hope he
VIII protect you and not let you stray
off the right path"
I suppose by that he meant we
should always serve the u. S.
l wanted to cry out, cts a lie, all
you've said are lies. Where is the
freedom, and golden opportunity this
country has to give u.s." "What
about Sacco and Vanzetti. Were they
given justice?"
What about the different strikers
that were brutality beaten by the po-
lice?" SIS this freedom?"
And SO the program stretched with.
out a SMILE We must sit for three
hours and quiet as mice.
AT last the diplomas were handed
out by a priest. What made me laugh
was when one girl was presented a
character medal. The teachers neve,
notice the qualities of the children
and then at the end of the term they
are able to select one girl out of one
hundred who has the best character,
You can imagine what kind of girl
she is. Really the dumbest in the
school.
With great impatience we arrived
at the happy time when with great
ceremony we slowly marched out of
the auditorium and went home. Is it
a wonder that the American workers
are not class conscious? The public
schools are good servants in helping
to make the American children slaves
of the capitalist class.

Famous Schiller Prize Awarded
to Three Noted Dranatists

THE award of the Schiller Prize for
the best dramatic work of literary
value that has appeared within the
last six years is an event of some i'm
portance in Germany. The rules gov
erning this award have changed con-
stantly since it was founded in mem
ory of Schiller's hundredth birthday
on November 10, 1859.
For twenty years no work of suffi-
cient Importance to receive the prize
was produced in Germany. Twelve
have passed since it was last bestowed.
The present committee of nine, con-
sisting of University professors, liter
ary men, and actors, have awarded it
to three men whose work they declare
to be equally observation-disclosures
Rurte, Fritz Won Unruh, and Franz
Werfel.
The choice is significant of a gen
eral dissatisfaction with the pre-war
Germany that has been portrayed in
the works of them all. None of the
three IS a good dramatist, but all are
enthusiasts, and all are inspired by
the struggles between the old aid =
new. the eternal conflict between
father and son, the bitterness If W
fare waged for an ideal, the pity and
horror of death and devastation, and
the longing for liberty of body and
spirit. Their burning convictions on
these subjects have ensured them all
a success in postwar Germany that
would not have been so general in the
old days.
Hermann Burte, a South German.
is best known on the Berlin stage for
his drama of Frederick the Greats
friend "Katte". His plays are popular
in Germany and on the continent.
Chief among the leaders of the ex-
pressiorist school. Won Unrrh. hos
maintained his hold over great sec
ton of the public where the more
chaotic of those who led the new move
ment ere already forgotten. Franz
VERIFIED, born and brought up in
Prague, has a special claim on many
hearts in Germany today for his verse
alone. Many enthusiasts have fol-
lowed their leader DostoieVsl1i II tn
so-called school of pity" Werfei
stands alone in his power of subjugat-
ing the intellect to the emotions. His
drama of the ex-Empress Charlotte
OF Mexico, "Maximilian and Juarez,' .
ranks higher than 'The Trojan Wom-
en-" his principal earlier dramatic
work Of Importance.
Werfels Goat Song" and "Maximil
ian and Juanez" were produced here
by the Theatre Guild last season.
