ONE INSTANCE OF INJUSTICE From Good House Keeping
 Continud from last week.

Mrs. Stella M. Atwood, whom the Indians lovingly call Moth er," in gratitude for all she has done for them through 12 years nf consecrated effort, told me in California last summer of the following occurrences:
 One day the Navajoes wired nle to come. Come on the next train! They needed help. Vast tracts of land belonging to them had been leased to a white cattle man without their consent, and the Indians cattle were to be put off at once. When I got there I found that the captain at Fort Wingate had leased H. coo acres of the Navajo grazing land to this white cattleman for dollar a year! This part of the reservation had been taken over oy the War Department during tie war. It was still a military reservation, the officer claimed.
 He had no right to take such ] step, in any case, without com petitive bids. A court-martial was possible. I kept the wires to Washington hot. The white cat tleman had himself made 8 de- putty sheriff and was planning to put the Indians cattle off in 24 hours. The Indians distress was terrible! This land had been the grazing ground of the Maya jos for generations. There was no place for them to go. Some of them were old scouts, on pen sions from the Government.
 They came streaming down Sunday morning to confer with me, and we were just ready to open council meeting when an Indian came galloping across the plain waving a telegram. It was from the War Department. A 1eprieve Suspend all opera tions until investigation It was the result of my wires, as chair man of the Indian welfare di- vision of the Federated Women's Clubs. The white man swung up on his horse and rode away. He was never heard from again"
 On another occasion, in 1924, just after the Indians had been made citizens, Mrs. Atwood was summoned in desperate haste to the Crow Reservation in Montana. The Indians inform ed her in their wires that the county authorities had come in
 without their approval and ar lranged to corral all the horses on the reservation and kill them and sell their hides for 65 cents Iapiece to pay the Indians taxes
 T happened to know" saic Mrs. Atwood, that neither
 trust fund nor anything bough1 with a trust fund is taxable, ane I also knew that the burden 9. lproof would lie with the county ISo I wired to the Indians to ge an attorney, promising I would come at once.

HOOVER IS EXPECTED
TO CALL FOR RELIEF
CONGRESS IN Spring
Tariff Revision Will Be Taken
Up concurrentIy With Agri-
cultural Solution Bills

Washington. Jan. 12.-(AP)-Pres-
ident-elect Hoover, as q result of his
conferences with Republican con-
gressional leaders, Is expected to call
an extra session Of the seventy first
congress in the early spring.
It is the desire Of those who will be
leaders In the next administration to
get this out Of the way as speedily as
possible SO that there will be the least
disturbance in the industrial and ag-
ricultural world.
AS the situation is now outlined
tariff revision would be taken up con-
currently with farm legislation and
would be auxiliary to 1t since 1t is the
purpose to afford q measure OF pro-
lection to agriculture comparable
with that given other industries un-
der existing or revised law.
McNary Hopes Futile
Chairman McNary Of the senate ag-
rtcultural committee and author Of
the principal farm relief measure be-
fore conference with the president
elect said he had no intention of
calling his committee together to con-
slider the bill.
Senator McNary said the congestion
Of the senate calendar doomed any
hope of getting q farm bill through
at this time. Believing that the spe-
cial session was inevitable" Senator
McNayy said he was content to leave
the farm problem to It.
Secretary Jardine had asked early
act}on on the McNary bill in order ia
make 1t effective on this years crop
but McNary believes that II the ex-
ira session is called by the middle Of
April the legislation can Be rut into
operation In time to be applied to the
next crops.
To Revise Schedules
It is explained that no general tar
iff legislation Is contemplated, but
merely q revision Of number Of ex-
listing schedules in the form Of an

North DAKOTA MAN
Will TEACH RUSSIA
HOW TO RUN farms
Thomas D. Campbell, Worlds
Largest Wheat Grower, Sails
to Advise Soviet Farmers
U. S. FARM OUTLOOK BRIGHT
American Methods Of AgricuI-
ture to Be introduced in Rus
sia as q Relief Measure

New York, Jan. 12.-(P)-The New
York Times today prints the follow
ing story:
Thomas D. Campbell Of North Da-
okta and Montana, the worlds larg-
est wheat grower, sailed last night on
the lie de France. en- route to soviet
Russia, where at the invitation Of the
government he will put the American
idea Of production into Russian farm
Ing. He disclosed just before ha
boarded the French liner that the
soviets plan development Of 10000, 600
acres In an effort to turn the country
into one Of the worlds leading ex-
porters Of grain.
Mr. Campbell. who conferred in
Washington on Thursday with Presi-
dent Coolidge and President-elect
Hoover, was very optimistic over the
outlook for the American farmer. He
declared Mr.. Hoover would give the
farmers all they asked. and do SO
without unfairness to other industries.
It the Russian Soviets adopt Mr..
Campbell's plans 1t will mean q sub
stantial gain for American industry.
His plans require the purchase in
America Of 100000, 900 worth of farm
machinery and call for 1000, 900
worth of trucks. In addition, great
quantities Of road-making machinery
will be required.
Operates $4,000 Acres
Mr.. Campbell owns and operates q
95.O00-acre farm In Montana.
Il am going to Russia" he said. "at
the invitation Of q Russian commits
sion which came to this country. The
members Of the commission are now
at my farm at Hardin. Mont. I ex-
pcct to meet Stain in Moscow and
other representatives Of the govern
ment. We will discuss the introduce
ton Of American methods In Russiai,
agriculture,
It is evident from the businesslike
methods Of Russian representatives
that the soviet IS progressive toward
agriculture. They are apparently
making every effort to solve their ag-
ricultural problem, which is greater
than ours"
At his farm in Montana Mr.. Camp
bell has 65, 900 acres annually under
furrow. and his avera., yield OF wheat
is 100000 bushels, and Of flax 100000
bushels.
Farm Outlook Bright
''The outlook for agriculture In this
country" he said, "is very bright. /
feel that MIR. Hoover's election meant
q great deal for agriculture, and he
will contribute more to the solution
Of the problem than has been done
for years.
HE has q heartfelt and sincere in
terest In agriculture. I predict un-
precedented prosperity for agriculture
In the next four years, and the in
creasing use Of power on the farms.
The best investment in the United
States today is land"
Speaking briefly Of his talks with
The president and with the president
elect, Mr.. Campbell said that 1T is
evident that something will be done
In the form Of legislation which will
be OF great advantage to agriculture
and ct the same time equally fair to
all other industries"
Mr.. Campbell was accompanied by
his wife. He will be absent only six |
weeks. for hts work will be only tod
start the Russians in the proper way. |
