Submits Reasons
For Bonus PAYMENT

TO the Editor OF The Star.
I have read Mr. Feldman's proposal
to Congress that they cancel the other
half of the bonus.
Perhaps Mr.. Feldman feels the same
as some OF our ether high bankers and
politicians-that the bonus should not
be paid, but that we should thank
England and other foreign countries
for the privilege of lending them money
and just let's call it square; or perhaps
our bankers or railroads will need q
couple of billion more next year, and.
of course, If the United States paid the
bonus, they may not have it.
Perhaps If the boys q am one of
them) saw little more patriotism In
regard to money, being shown by our
higher f1nanciers and politicians, they
probably wouldn't be forced to hide a
smile when the bonus question Is
brought up and are asked to show pa
triotiSm by not asking for same.
In conclusion, am only one of many
who had in 1917 a job paying me $40
week and enlisted in the Navy for
$50 month, and would do the same
thing again. But the point I am bring
ing out is, Did the boys squawk in 1917
when they lost not only this pay, but
many also their jobs? No, they didn't.
They just served their country In q
crisis. Now many Of these boys are in
q crisis. Why can't the country help
them? CLARK BERToN.

Retirement
Proposal Criticized

To the Editor of The Star:
Summary retirement of officials and
employees whose terms of service have
been extended under the law. would
effect no reduction in expenditures.
Such plan would be inhuman in the
extreme, as these officials, with a def
mite contract OF extension, have planned
their living costs accordingly.
The retirement law was amended to
provide for the retention of those who
are specially qualified by expert knowl-
edge and long experience, in order that
the Government might have the benefit
of their invaluable services, during the
contract period named in the extension
certificate. The great Majority of these
5000 employees hold positions that it
would be necessary to fill at once. but
with less qualified employees in addi-
tion to which there would be the 81 200
retired pay to be provided, and the loss
of 81. per cent of the salaries of those
retired. 1t Is absurd to figure any saw
ing by such plan: rather there would
be a substantial increase in expendi-
lures. GEORGE G. GRAHAM.

Big Boy Wcrld.

Big Boy World.
Again to school this big World went,
Again he stands, a penitent,
Facing Experience so grim
With lessons most severe for him.
In law he'd not been very quick
He fumbled his arithmetic
Into a corner he was led;
They placed Ounce cap on his head.
Experience said, in accents grave,
Now, Big Boy World. try to behave!
Don't yearn for the electric lights,
Find some good book to read o. nights.
Don't play the games that bring regrets.
Reform, Big Boy, and pay your debts.

GLACIER
INQUISITIvE FOLK

Glacier Park, Dec. 20.-Just ex-
actly what a national park ranger
does in the winter is perhaps the
question asked most often by park
visitors in the opinion of Glacier
National park rangers. But, they
add, it is also the question which
provokes the greatest variety Of
conjectures by inquiring tourists.
How warm are snowshoe cab
ms? Do deer really shed their
horns every year? How old are
the mountains? Are the glaciers
here all year around? These and
countless other questions are
.cheerfully answered by the rang
ers, all of whom are full of info--
nation pertaining to the national
parks.
For instance, there was the wo-
man who wanted to see a glacier
move. 1t was subsequently ex-
planned to her that even the Invest
of glaciers moves only a few
inches each year. One eastern
man, interested in the winter APP
parel of rangers, was anxious to
know whether overshoes or snow
shoes were warmer.

NEW OF
STATE TO PRESIDE
AT HOUSE OPENING

Helena, Mont, Dec. 16.-(AP)
When Sam d. Mitchell of Butte
becomes secretary of state, his
first official duty will be to call
to order the first Democratic house
Of representatives since 1917.
This is a function of the secre-
tary of state since there are no
follower members in the house
and speaker is elected from the
membership at each session. IN
the senate, the lieutenant govern
or presides and, for this session
and the next, this official is a
Democrat, Frank H. Cooney of
Missoula.
Members of the senate are
sworn in usually, by the chief
justice, members of the house by
one of the associate justices.
Since the legislative session begins
at noon the several new state Of
ficers will have been sworn in.
Usually they invite some member
of the supreme court to admins
ter the oath.

1900 the total of marks and
brands had reached 10000 and
was increasing at the rate of
about 1000 a year. Stockmen were
asked to devise new markings and
prices paid for registered MARKS
ranged from S25 to $50 and in one
instance reached $3.50.
Sometimes, says Thatcher, "the
brands adopted were of particular
significance, possibly including the
initials of the owners, as in the
case of Sanborn & Loud, whose
brand was ST., or w. K. Duval of
Dawson county, whose brand was
WK. The Lee Brothers used their
complete name, LEE, and Leigh
ton & Jordan used J-L. j. L. De-
harris brand was D and a heart, ].
w. Toohey's brand was 2E. Other
famous brands apparently were
adopted for convenience and have
no particular significance. Roose-
velt's brands were the Maltese
Cross and the ELK Horn. The
brand of the Grinnell Livestock
company was a Monkey Wrench
and the brand of the Great Cont
mental Cattle company was sup
posed to look somewhat like a
hash knife, which was the name
properly given to their outfit"
Losses by Indians, predatory an
imals and rustlers, high freight
rates, confiscation by the Canad-
ian government of cattle that
strayed across the international
boundary were some of the cattl.-
mans problems, most of them
continuing through the years.

lative officers and assistants and
the formality of voting upon them
is the first official business Of
the session in either house. Com
mittees are appointed to notify
the governor and the other house
that business may be transacted.
The governor replies by setting a
date for delivery of his legislative
message.
By the end of the first week all
committees usually are function

and the 6O-day Legislative period
will be under way.

Tribute Paid to Cowboy, who
Built Stock Industry in West

Helena, Mont, Dec. 2O.-(AP)
Tribute is paid to the hard
working, hard riding, carefree,
im~provident cowboy as the techni-
cal expert who built the founda-
ton for the livestock industry in
Montana, by Robert S. Hatcher,
agricultural economist, in a new
publication by Montana State col
lege.
Flatcher's entertaining study of
the range cattle business in east
ern Montana, is based on much re-
search through early day news
papers, records of the Montana
Stock Growers association and
personal contacts with many old
time stockmen.
THE cattlemen," he says, "were
a mixed lot. Some were disap-
pointed miners from Last Chance
and Virginia City, like Joe Scott
and Granville Stuart; some had
come west to fight Indians, some
for their health and some to hunt
the buffalo. The sporting type was
represented by Theodore Roose-
Welt and the sparkling Marquis De
Moers, both of whom ran cattle in
western Dakota in the district
controlled by the Montana Stock
growers association. There were
only a few Gentlemen who had
had experience in raising cattle
before.
~. w. Toohey started in the
business when the vaudeville conf
pany with which he was associat-
ed disbanded at Miles City. In a
group of Sc biographies of cattle
men living in Chouteau county in
1884, it is revealed that Is had
been miners, 10 general farmers.
8 traders and freighters, five rail
road hands, three soldiers, three
clerks, three hunters and trappers
three steamboat hands, two groc-
ers, two lumberjacks, two butch
ers. two iron moulders and two
saloon keepers. One each at some
time or another engaged as sheep
herder, factory hand, interpreter
tinsmith, wiremaker, blacksmith
miller, lawyer, mounted policeman
Indian scout, school teacher, pho
tographer or vine dresser in
France. Only four had previously
been engaged in the cattle bust
ness. The few experienced mer
helped teach the others, but UNI
d~oubtedly it was the cow hands
many Of whom came up from
Texas or other southern ranges
who contributed the most practi'
cal knowledge with regard tc
management of range herds"
First official recording OF
brands, he says, was in 1871 and
this work was in charge of tnt
territorial supreme court. In 1877
it was made the duty of the state
treasurer. Ten years later, the
office of state recorder of marks
and brands was established. BY
