Summers Protests the

"Dairymen of the Pacific North

country" DR.. John w. Summers of
Walla Walla, Republican nominee
for Congress, declared today in a
letter to the secretary of the treas
ury.
DR.. Summers letter was a pro-
test against an administrative or
der making collection of Scents

have been battling for their very

national forests and all they con-
tain. A study of these problems has
long since convinced me that while
our forests should be properly
utilized by livestock and the sur
plus forage and fire hazard con-
sumed, the conservation of wild
life and the forage necessary for
its growth ad expansion should not
be hampered.
"The protecting carpet of vege-
tation should always be preserved
as forage for this wild life and
livestock; also as a protection Of
the mountain sides from erosion
and guarantee of a perpetual
water supply for the irrigated val
leys below.
However, justice to all con-
cerned requires careful study,
and sound conclusions cannot be
reached by considering only condi-
tions that may exist during any
one year."

Importance of preserving Wash

of its wild life and watersheds was
stressed by DR.. John w. Summers,
Republican nominee for Congress
in the fourth district, in speaking
at dinner meeting in Yakima to-
day of Republican workers called
by j. N. Emerson of Pullman, the
newly elected Republican state
chairman.
"For many years past there has
been wanton destruction of the
wild life for which these forests
are the natural abode and which
should be given every possible OPP

THE BONUS


In view of the administrations open
handed system of spreading governmental
largess far and wide, it is not unreasonable
to expect that the Legion will be successful
in securing the remainder Of the bonus. Lee
gion men refer to it as adjusted compensa-
ton, however. Under the original terms this
vast sum, amounting to two billion, eight
hundred million, doesn't become due until
1916.
Under outside pressure the Legion, at
their national convention in Florida has de-
manded immediate payment. President
Roosevelt has announced that he is opposed
to the payment, but congress will pass it, and
again over the presidential Veto Legion men
can figure on receiving the other If of
their bonus in about two years-a couple of
months, say, before the 1886 elections.
And why not? Millions of people are
now drawing money from the government
for doing nothing! Why shouldn't the Lee
gion members get some of the government
money when they risked their very lives to
Save the World for Democracy? 2"
Of course, the next item on the Legion
program will be a move to secure pensions,
even tho the bonus was granted with the ex-
press understanding that it was to take the
place of pension. The pension idea is one
that is growing, by the way. A recent ques-
tionnaire sent to publishers all over the coun-
try indicated strong sentiment in favor of
an old-age and disability pension for every
one. not alone those who happened at the
time to have been able to get into active gov

ed to see such move started within short
time. r .ty.'@
