There is one answer, as Washington
sees it, to Huey Long and others of his
kind-and that is return of prosperity
with unemployment of many of the
idle. Until that time comes either Huey
or others Of his type who promise the
people in glowing terms things that
cannot be accomplished, will continue
to have their following. Every depres-
sion brings forth crop of impossible
cures for the troubles the nation may
be experiencing at the time Finally the
cold and sober judgment of the public
discerns the impracticability of many
of the supposed-to-be cures and they
pass into the realm Of the forgotten
upon the return of good times.
These cure-alIs which substitute
horse linament for horse-sense are
nothing new. A Chinese student in

try's history back several centuries and
found it had had new deal, share

to home work as substitute for
school work. We both agree that
evening work at home shouldn't be

energy; It takes those troublesome

PUBLICITY is PUBLIC FUND
SAFEGUARD.

Judging by the number Of investiga-
tons that are being made Of the ex-
penditures Of our state and national
officials there is a need for the develop
ment of an informed and intelligent
citizenship.
The state law requires or permits
county clerks, city clerks and other Of
fetal tax-spending bodies to publish a
statement Of all claims authorized and
ordered paid. The purpose of the law
is to acquaint the interested citizens
with the expenditures Of the various
units, to advise them as to just how
and for what the tax money is being
spent.
1t was one of the wisest laws ever
enacted from the standpoint of safe
guarding public funds and insuring
them against waste, extravaganza and
misuse. When the controlling body
knows that it must account publicly for
every cent it spends and that every
citizen is to be given the opportunity
Of scrutinizing every item Of expendi-
ture, there is natural tendency to be
careful and cautious in the appropria-
ton Of funds.
Without any reflection upon anyone,
we undertake to say that many unwise
expenditures would not have been
made had the governing bodies known
that the full glare of publicity would be
turned upon their monthly claims

ANVk VI AH0AA OAs6Ahs
For years there has been an errone-
Gus impression among the lay public
that the present day American Indian
constructed the mounds which have
been found on the North American
continent Many assumptions have been
advanced as to the possible origin
Of the Indian, one among these being
the claim by the Latter Day Saints
Church (Mormon) of Utah, that the
Indian was Of Hebrew descent and was
part of the ten lost tribes of Israel
This is ridiculous and no evidence has
ever been offered to show that the ten
tribes were ever lost. 1t is quite pos
sible that they amalgamated with other
races Of Egypt, Assyria and Italy. There
is nothing in the makeup of the Ameri-
can Indian to class him with any race
of Semetic origin. There is slight
Ethiopic strain in the Indian, yet not
enough to class him with the African
Negro. The leaning is more to the
Asiatic an ce stry than toward the
Ethiopic or Semetic.
A comparison of genealogical meas
uIGIuGGlLS LdhEil u CAllultlCQ ohuiL1 Va
the Mound Builders with those of lat
ter day American Indians shows dis
tinct similarity, especially in the sup
raorbital ridge over the eye sockets and
in trephanned types which are those
with hole bored in for post norton
purposes.
Leg, thigh and arm bone measure
ments also disclose identity between
the Mound Builders and the Indian.
In study of the Sioux, the Apache
and the Mohawk Indian tribes, one can
see in the inverted eyes, the coarse
black hair, the high cheek bones and
the sloping forehead, that Asiatic racial
dominance is quite evident, Competent
archaeological and anthropological au-
thorities have conceded the point that
the American Indian is of Asiatic or
Mongoloid origin He is also the direct
lineal descendent of the Mound Build
ers who were the first cultural aborig-
inai inhabitants of what is now the
state Of Montana.
Races have come, and races have
gone, but the relics which they have
left behind in the shape of mounds,
arrow heads, stone axes, human re-
mains, pottery vessels, shell beads, etc,
give us the story of their one time
habitation Of this continent.

Mission range and the Kootenai noun
tains, trace of the earth Notifications
of the mound builders can be seen
when comparison is made between
the natural topography of the terrain.
The artificial, though barely discernible
still shows and can be traced by an
archaeologist with very little difficulty.
This type Of mound was used by the
Mound Builders to control floods and to
act as battlements in case of attack by
alien tribes Portions Of skeletons found
with arrow heads driven into the
skulls have been found in this area,
which testify to the times thousands Of
years ago when the Swan River Valley
area rang with the shouts of battle as
the Mound Builders clashed with their
attackers.
Inland Waters As Trade Carriers.
In the selection of the territory ad-
jacent to inland waterways the Mound
Builders exhibited rare judgment. The
river afforded ample water for their
primeval trading operations, and 1t
also placed at their disposal means
for trading with those who inhabited
the territories further south and into
Mexico. AS proof of these prehistoric
trading operations the writer points to
the following artifacts which were
found in 1884 on the North American
continent:
At MissouriV alley, Ia, stone smok-
ing pipe taken from burial tomb of
the Mound Builders was found by DR..
Richard Glider of Omaha, Neb., this
pipe bearing the Plumed Serpent De-
sign of Quetzelcoatl, who according to
ancient Mexican mythology was the
God of War Of the mighty Mayans.
In the construction of ceremonial
mounds, the Mound Builders exemplify
the ancient Mayas, in that whereas the
Mayas used earthworks faced with
stone in erecting their temples Of an
tiouity, the Mound Builders used SINH
liar earthworks with no facings. The
similarity is striking and either the
Mayas learned the art from the Mound
Builders or vice versa There is con-
nection somewhere.
The picture writings which appear
along the Snake river in Idaho, and
along the Yellowstone river in central
Montana bear striking similarity not
only to Maya glyphs in the Yucatan but
to those which appear on temple walls
OF the Egyptian temples of antiquity
which dot the valley Of the Kings, near
luxor, Egypt
From the above it can readily be
seen that trading operations and an

production of silly statesmen. However,
we doubt that last claim. We think that
distinction should go to the nations of
Europe But there is no denying the
fact that the United States does lead
in the number of murders committed
by its citizens. Our murder rate, go out
of each 100000 persons, is II times that
of England, two and half times that
of Italy, and seven times the murder
rate in Europe generally. Our annual
crime bill runs into several billions
some authorities put it as high as IL
billions, counting everything.
A national broadcasting company says
there are Is million radio sets in
American homes today. Of this total
about 100000 are automobile sets.
Some million sets were bought last
year, during time of depression. This
radio company, making a careful sur
vey, says that seven out of 10 families
have sets and listen in.
American men who have made bad
guesses and bad bargains pay total
of 1886 million in alimony every year
To that large amount must be added
about 2 billion which goes to lawyers
and court clerks engaged in the profit
able business Of Ending Ii All. In this
country it is said a marriage occurs
every 80 seconds; divorce every three
minutes. Truly this is land of speed
Without any public announcement OF
the fact, reports from Washington are
to the effect that the Works-Relief bill
marks change of policy on the part
of the Administration in regard to pub
lie works Our informant says that
originally the Administration con-
ceived of public works, las we all know
as a means of printing the pump, ol
stimulating heavy and other industries
The first PWA fund did not work out
that way. Money was fed out too slowly
It's effect was dissipated, because the
amount going into industrial channels
at any one time was too small to exert
influence.
The new public works program il
conceived, in spite of whatever may he
said to the contrary, as means of sus-
tanning the unemployed. The idea of in
creasing consuming power has disap-
peared and the object now is to pay
bare subsistence wages in lieu Of re-
| lief It is a relief rather than recovery
measure.

Boat Owners Are Urged
To Register for Rodeo

tons, and II begins to appear that
there will be q shortage OF boats.
Our system OF handling this
matter last year resulted In some
dissatisfaction as a number OF boat
owners falling to get parties which
Trey might have obtained had the
matter been handled differently"
DR. Hockaday states. We have
worked out the following plan.
which 7 believe win give everyone
q better opportunity 70 obtain par
ties during these three days:
1.-THE committee has required
that all boats which expect To
participate must register with our
committee. This matter viii be han
died by L. Z. Barwick, Jr.,l again
this year. No points viii be scored
for any contestant fishing from q
boat not registered.
"2-Instead OF asking boat own
crC and guides to withhold the con-
tracing Of parties in advance or the
fudeo date. we are arranging TO put
our registrants in contact with the
EOatmen In advance 50 that the
deal may be worked out between
them at any time before the rodeo.
Inquiries are coming in now re-
queSting that we reserve boats for
the writers; seven OF such requests
came In Saturdays mail. Our plan
Is. upon receipt OF request from
Northern sportsmen, to advise boat
men so that they can write the
sportsman direct
-3-The scale OF prices for the
better class Of boats such as the
Gulf Ranger" boats of the Pattee
Line. and Thompson boats, with
guide, Is $40 per day. Smaller boats
should not expect top prices Larger
boats. capable OF going TO the snap
ger banks or Of handling large
parties, can likely secure an even
better rate In proportion TO the &C
ccmmodation furnished.
1--WE r having some difficult
t. this year In raising funds TO meet
The expense OF the rodeo and take
care Of the deficit OF last year. We
have provided this year that each
contestant, excepting ladies, shall
pay q registration fee OF $3.50. We
are raising a limited fund by public

connections and through the med
ium Of the AnanaiS club. The boat
men, OF course, r some OF the
principal beneficiaries, both direct
ly and indirectly, and we feel that
we r not asking too much when
we ask that each boatman contribute
ten percent OF his receipts. This will
nelp us meet current expenses and
We hope that az the close or the
rOdeo we viii have a fund OF q few
hundred dollars, 50 that at the first
Of the season next year we will be
able to get some effective work done
early In q few years I am confident
that the rodeo will be self-sustain-
Ing and that there win be no need
TO ask anyone, locally to contribute
TO the event.
