Says Game Laws
Need Changing

HAVE JUST read the article YOU
published from the Rosebud Farm Ru-
reau on game law changes. l think
it is great article and 1 thank you
very much for publishing it. And I
think it is a mighty good law they
have in Colorado, making the game
department pay landowners for DAM
ages done by trespassing game. The
Colorado game officials are not so fast
to transplant game to new locations
as they are in this state.
And 1 think hunting license should
not cost non-resident-if he is a
citizen of the United States or Canada
over SIS. Where game is nuisance.
1 suggest allowing anyone to kill up
to five head of one kind or an assort-
ment of different kinds, whichever he
wished to.
l think a landowner should be al
lowed to kill game on his own land
without a license if they are doing
damage, and be allowed to use the
meat anytime of year. 1 think we
are getting too many reserves where
no hunting is allowed. The game in
creaseS there and then spreads out all
over the country.
I have lived on this ranch for 81
years. When / was young, before
1900 we saw deer twice a year. They
went up in the high mountains in the
spring and in the fall they went back
down to lower attitudes around the
Missouri river. And they never did
any damage to the ranches. They
just passed through and that was all.
Now the deer live on the ranches
IL months in the year. They are extra
bad on second crop alfalfa before cut
ting and in the winter if they can get
lOnctOp of stack they sure raise cain
with it. And then fatten up on grain
fields before you can harvest them.
If all the Farm Bureaus in the state
would work with the Rosebud County
Farm Bureau and work on the mem
berS of the legislature, maybe we could
get law passed to favor the ranchers.
But think it will be a hard job. And
thank you for the interest you are
taking in this matter.-David Gehrig

Minerals May Not
Be Unlimited

THE MAY L. 1854 issue of Montana
Farmer r-Stockman contains very in
teresting article by A. w. Erickson
entitled, wheat as Medicine" con-
slider this very valuable article to us
who till the soil and raise mostly good
protein wheat. However, l should eau
ton readers that the unlimited minerals
contained in our Montana soils are
fact to be accepted only after tests of
soils in every locality have been made
to see that minerals are present in
quantity needed Seems to me that MIR.
ErickSon'S belief about unlimited miner
ais in our soils must be checked on
especially in localities that do not pro-
duce satisfactory wheat or other grains.
1t has been called to my attention
that in Eastern North Dakota many
spots in fields are now bare of vegeta-
ton of any kind. What is the cause?
May it not be lack of some of the %
minerals listed and some of the other
four elements?
1t is a well-known fact our Eastern
Montana. soils have only six inches of
top soil. This is not much of a store
house when wind and water erosion
removes much of the top soil and
plants are absorbing minerals regularly.
I believe these minerals must be re-
turned to the soil in powder form if
they are to be assimilated by growing
plants. Growing grass crops in rotation
should restore much Of the other four
elements, but how to restore the miner
al elements is new problem to us
And believe the time is now ripe tC
combine both under a rotation system
to replace our worry about SurpluseS
storage and bad distribution of farm
produce.
I am writing the Secretary of Agri
culture to consider making payments
to resident, family farmers of $40 pc
acre for growing grasses until such tim'
there is need for increased grain pro
duction. Grass would have to be grow
to maturity for full payment.
| Under this plan, our soil resources OF
diverted acres would be built up-an
I think they need to be because it.
highly probable that, due to population
increases, there will be very drasti
shortage of surplus grains in the nc
very distant future.-Henry b. Syverud

the tremendous increase" in the
duties and responsibilities of the
Vice President, the commission
declared:
"1n the performance of his
assignments the Vice President
incurs social and other obliga-
tions as the representative Of
our Nation for which no pro-
vision for reimbursement is now
made. For example. the officials
of the nations of the Far East
recently visited by the present
Vice President will quite nat
urally anticipate, when they re-
turn his visits and our people
will expect, that the Vice Presi-
dent reciprocate in a manner
befitting the greatest Nation on
earth"
Besides noting the increas-
ingly wide and difficult range of
the Speakers work, the COM
mission said membership in
Congress now is full-time and
exceedingly expensive job, in
addition to the problem Of cop
ing with many new and highly
complicated issues.
The commission declared 1t
did not imply that higher pay in
itself would bring better public
officials. But it contended the
recommended raises were rea-
sonable and essential to attract

that payment of such expenses
on vouchers would relieve men,
bers of the necessity of paying
so large a portion of their essen
tial official expenses from their
own private funds"
Taxes Cut Cost.
The commission estimated that
the overall increases it recon-
mended would amount to an ad-
ditional $11.336,500 a year. But
it explained that the total of
$6,662 500 for members of Con-
gress would represent a net cost
of only $4.527. .302 to the Gov
ernment, because of payment of
taxes on the salaries.
Similarly. the $4,674.000 for
Federal jurists would actually
cost the Government only ST.
891 ,491. The commission said the
combined net increases would
constitute only one one-hundreth
of one per cent Of the Federal
budget.
Buying Power Limited.
The commission said the
recommended $27,500 would give
members of Congress. in terms
of 1899 dollars. a purchasing
power of only $1,472 (after
taxes) more than they have now.
This. the report said, won't
greatly help the many members
who must maintain homes both
in Washington and in their dis
tricts, besides paying other heavy
occupational expenses.
The commission's 36-page re-
port announced that approval Of
the proposed salary adjustments
was unanimous. although sew
eral members had argued for
somewhat higher or lower
amounts in various categories.
The commission addressed it
self to the limited problem Of
determining, insofar as it was
able to do so. what constituted
fair and reasonable compensa-
ton for members of Congress
and the Federal judiciary" the
report stated. However. the
members feel they would be re-
miss in their duty If they did
not point out that this problem:
