WE SECOND THE MOTION
By Rhode Island Red

Ho, Hum. Well sir, MIR. Editor
we read with considerable con-
Germ, not to say satisfaction 3
statement in your paper last
week, made to the Chamber OF
Commerce Dv MIR H. w. Bun
ston, relative to opposition by
certain Indian officials of the
Crow tribe to the building of the
Big Horn Dam and we are right
glad to know that some one
feels the urge to come out from
behind their shirt front and
call a spade a spade, as he sc
remarked.
We wish, furthermore, to
climb on our own stump and re
mark so that all may hear that
we unqualifiedly endorse Mr..
Bunston's position and, at the
same time, we also rise to re-
mark that we might, in our
stumbling way, go a damn sight
farther.
We here in Big Horn County,
seem to be rather blind to the
fact that our prospects for the
future supply of water for irri-
cation purposes are, to say the
least, very dark and with this
in mind the BIZ Horn Dam
association and particularly its
Chairman. Mr. Funston, has
been making strenuous efforts
for the past two years to show
the people of Big Horn County
the extreme necessity of doing
something about it if we would
continue to regard our irriga-
ton systems of any value to us.
The continued uSurntiOn OF
the waters of the Big Horn riv-
er by our neighborino state of
Wyoming in the Gradual devel-
opment of their available lands
is not only going to retard the
development of lands in Big
Horn county belonging to both
Indians and Whites but is going
to nut the development we have
made out of the picture.
AN UNCERTAIN WATER SUP
PLY FOR IRRIGATION PUR-
POSES RENDERS AN IRR1GtA-
TON SYSTEM VALUELESS.
Think that over, Mr.. Yellowtail.
Any intensive study OF the
present situation, such as has
been made by Mr.. Funston and
others interested brings forth
a picture that is anything but
cheerful and ar- outright OPP
position to the only remedy that
is really lastine-a STORAGE res
ervoir behind a dam in the Big
Horn river-certainly can not
be credited to a lack of under
standing but rather to an ut
ter disregard of the welfare of
the community and a personal
desire to be reflected in the
limelight of a superficial and
obstructionistic authority.
Is it assumable that the Grow
peonle desire to go back to the
old ways of living as is desired
by Mr.. Yellowtail and give ur
the modern contraptions and
conveniences of the white man
which they now enjoy? Certain
~ not. And neither is it assum-
able that Mr.. Yellowtail would
practice what he breaches. The
welfare of the Indian people is
too much bound up with that OF
the White man to assume such
a fantastic rebound.
Lack of cooperation as evil
denced at the present by some
of the Indian officials on the

places pinched themselves and
each otner last week just to be
sure they were fully awake.
When they had treasured them
selves that they were not
dreaming, establishment turned
to confusion.
To appreciate the situation
that sent the brain trusterS in
to a dizzy Whirl, it must be re-
called that on several occasions
in recent months government
spok7Smen have said the cause
of all our economic ills was the
lack of cooperation by business
men; that if the business man
just had it in him to be con-
structive rather than critical OF
the government, recovery would
at last be in sight.
Offers of co~oneration came
Immediately from all business
quarters, but on each occasion
the brain trust group accepted
with suspicion, seeming unAill-
ing to believe that the business
men meant it.
Then came the GROWING blow
to the disbelievers last week
when some 1000 industrial lead
erS gathered for the Congress
of American Industry in new
York and went far beyond the
fondest dreams of the coopera-
ton seekers. The businessmen
not only extended a sincere Of
fer of cooperation, but went so
far as to offer constructive sug-
geStionS for cooperative efforts
between government, labor and
business.
If all the groups-industry, la
Dor and government-are ready
to admit and correct their mis-
takes, the businessmen reasoned,
then recovery should be the in
evitable result.
And what is what causes all
the confusion in Washington.
The next move is definitely up
to the government and the
brain trust is wondering just
how it is going to meet its end
of the bargain of cooperation.
They hadn't figured that they
would have to-.
Sometimes in the busy hustle
of the Capital, it is found that
the best truths come from the
most odd and unexpected sour
ces. The WASHINGTON correspon-
dent for the Manchester Char
dian famous British paper
quoted a Washington peanut
vendor on the crisis rather than
one of the statesmen.
Steve Vasilakos, peanut and
popcorn man who for many
years has peddled his wares
from a push cart in front of the
White House, was the quoted
one. The story appearing in the
Guardian read, in part:
american views of Europe
today have certain advantages.
They have the detachment that
comes of safetv and show few
er signs of wishful thinking.
The proprietor of the peanut
stand outside the White House
grounds summed up his coun-
background pretty faithful
ly when he declared to a group
of customers:
LOOK, all the world is yell
and pushing at each other
except here. Here is peace and
no fuss Over there, there
are guns. Here there amt no
guns. Here there's squirrels on
the lawn"

Five dollar bills were in slightly

First of the fakes turned up IL
