The Department of the Interior appropriation bill as it passed the house and as it will "be reported to theSeuate today contains an item of $208,250 for the Salem United States Indian Training school at Chemawa, an increase of $9000 over last year, and the bill provides for 850 pupils, an increase of 50 over last year1 L .

J r ; :"t.t So far so, good Jf Tha, is somethiugHfi , iLi : ,; yr But it li jipt enoligh. The bill still contains the provision against the further reception of Alaskan Indian pupils after January first. ! .1." , x This ought tnot to ;be, t The scheme ought not to be allowed to'be put over, v M:,t ' x -: :-: " r It has been carried on through false pretenses, as related in the "article in this corner of The Statesman on Sunday. Those who are working for the scheme have been saying the climatic changes here cause the Alaskan Indians to become tubercular. This is-a lie. Those who use this argument know it is a lie. They have been saying the students graduated from the Salem school do not readily go back to the ways of their former life. Of course they do not. They should not. This ought to be an argument for the training they receive here. Their former environments are on-the average beneath all enlightened in stincts of humanity and morality. r j V Salem must wake up, and send wires ;and letters to the members of the Oregon delegation. - The Statesman is making .this kind of a fight and is doing it gladly ; asa matter of duty and common decency and common honesty. But this is the fight of every man and woman in Salem, or in j the whole United States, as much as it is the fight LATIN AMERICAN The Statesman has been telling of the great importance and gtovrth and possible, further expansion of our, Latin American trade, nnder the fostering car of Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover j J An expansion destined to render our producers of food stuffs, at least, independent of Europe and finally to change our country from an exporter to an importer of foodstuffs. '-. Here are some more specific figures: j ? r In the first nine months of this year we exported 4,546,000 pounds of butter. Nearly all of it went to the Latin Americas. Mexico, took 665,000 pounds, and that country buys about 95 per cent of its butter from our producers. And 425,000 pounds of it went to Peru. So on down the list. ! In the same nine months we exported 2,822,000 pounds of cheese. Cuba, took 890,000 pounds of it, Mexico 602,000, and nearly all the rest of it went to the Latin Americas also. We: exported 22,000,000 dozens of eggs in the same nine months, and . Cuba took 9,768,000 dozens of them, Mexico 4,393,000 dozens, Panama 702,000 dozens and nearly all the rest went to Latin America, Argentina took 1,882,000 dozens. - Again, we should have another Hoover, to conduct a nromo- tion department, to render the Yiattrm - : . I nation. t jit.. ' The date importers of the United States have an association, and it is flooding the country with circulars and other forms of advertising, tcHingf how good and wholesome, and appetizing and delicious dates are. Yott cannot blame' them. But they arc taking part ?of th-,trade that.ughttQ.ibclorig to our prune growers and our producers of various other fruits; including our loganberry growers. Wj should advertise more. Wc should tell 'em how much better for the health and for the good of the whole country are our own home grown fruits. . t ? ; . ; -!.--1 f; . 1 , . r i : Mr. Vining, president of the State Chamber of Commerce, is giving the whole people of Oregon the message the Slogan inan of The Statesman has preached for so many years that he does not care to say how many that Oregonians must sell Oregon to themselves. They have the potentially greatest and .richest and altogether best state in the Union and a whole lot of them are still either ignorant of this most important fact or are saying little or nothing about.it. They should know the truth and tell it all the time and every where,! and the truth will make them rich. " r FRUN'CII SPOLIATION CLADIS The French spoliation claims are coming in for a1 good deal of attention just now because Presi dent. Coolidge has recommended - the payment of J the . remaining ones. Four previous appropria tions r have been' made by acts passed In 1891, 1899, 1902 and ;i05, but there is still unliquidat ed 1500 claims. They have re malned unpaid since the. year ISOO-j-a century and a quarter. Thej country is inclined to agree with the ( president that if these claims are Just they ought to be paid. I ." The history of the origin of these claims, except as It has been recalled at intervals since a period slightly later ' than the Revolu tionary; war, .Is almost forgotten. At : the- close of that war.

TRADE AGAIN United States a self contained -i ' When, a few years later, this as sistance was- asked, President Washington decided that his coun try was not In a position to ren der this aid, and the treatyVas abrogated. As a result, France adopted a policy of reprisals against American vessels. Somo 3,000 ships were seized. In 1800 a new convention of peace was concluded between France and the United States, under which French national claims against the United States were offset by the Individu al claims of American citizen aris ing out of seizures under the re prisal policy. , There have been a number of reports on this. In i 1827 a full documentary proof of the claims was supplied by the state depart ment. Altogether 40 favorable reports hare been filed and twice congress voted, relief. One of these was vetoed by President Polk and the' other by President Pierce. In - 1885 the eourt' ol ! claims undertook an investigation ;and 20-". years" later ' reported, rrcsidcttt TaU tlco recommended to -congress .that a settlement of the claims . be made, although President Cleveland In 189$ had retoed a relief bill upon the theory that whatever liability existed must be assumed by the insurance companies which had written poli cies on the vessels. . There is no assurance that Pres ident Coolidge's recommendation will be followed as the claims are pretty well wrapped up In red tape anyway, but the country agrees that now is a good time to make an equitable adjustment of our admitted obligations. ' CARING FOR WILD HORSES The Oregon State Humane so ciety received a letter by airplane mail yesterday from President Wilder of the American Humane association, head of the national organization in New. York, saying they were ready to act upon the plea of the Oregon State Human? society for help in dealing with the wild horse problem in eastern Oregon. The Washington State Humane society has 1 also taken action to take steps to relieve the starving horses in the Inland Empire, or adopt some plan to put them out of' their misery. The publicity matter sent out by the Oregon so ciety has stirred the humanitari ans all over the nation to come to the rescue of suffering animals. With the financial assistance offered in New York a first class humane officer will be put in the field to organize local aid and visit the owners of the stock and formulate plans to either feed the starving' animals Or secure cooper ation in rounding them up' and seeing that they are 'humanely ex terminated, as has been suggested; Col. Hofer, as president, and Mrs. Swanton as state - manager, feel they have made a little prog ress in the solution of the biggest domestic animal problem ever faced by a humane organization. In the absence of any 'legislation touching the subject and with no state appropriation to work with, they are going to secure action. GOOD CHEER Christmas is a time of good cheer; it Is a time for helpfulness; it is a time when everybody wants to do good some more, ; some less. ; ' "' " . , ; Listen! Everyone around Sa lem can do ' this thing. If ; they know a, family that needs Christ mas cheer that is hot on the list of the organizations and they will send that family's name to The Statesman, sympathetic hands will administer neighborly relief. It will not be charity. It will not be blazoned abroad. It will be quietly done in the spirit of neigh borliness. . - -j ; ' . . : The Statesman Chrtmas fund Is a messenger of good cheer. That is the sole purpose for which the money has been collected, i There Isn't a cent that has been given but what could have. been given to other deserving institutions, but these gifts 'were made because the donors felt their money would be used for neighborly kindness and help that would not injure the pride or duplicate I any other work. . , ; ' . , : There are a good many people who will have no Christmas. They are not'subjects for charity. They are unfortunate neighbors, lit matters not at this time why they are poor. It matters .a great deal If they are left to suffer because in this land of abundance certainly no one wants anyonejn Sajem or vicinity to go .without jSJjrJsunas. good cheer.' I LOOKING RETTTJR ' . - j r ;rr , - - H,vW 'Stone of thePprttand YMCA has just returned Yr6m "the east and finds that j there' J. a revival of Interest In YMCA work. That has been apparent in Salem for some time. In fact there has been no lagging here. - Both the city and the county "Y" have met every challenge and . responded to every legitimate demand. The YMCA fills a real need. It is a work that the churches might have done had it started 50 years ago and developed the Institutional idea, but they did not start, and it Is too late now. The field belongs to the YMCA, and it is good news that everywhere in the country the usefulness of this splendid .or ganization is being recognized. 'X THE RIGHT TONE Denton G. Burdick. who will be tho next speaker of the house, has heard the vagabond j talk 'about punishing Governor Pierce and making a martyr of him. , He sees the folly of it. Mr. Burdick in a very sensible interview takes the position that this must be a con structive legislature and f good Ideas will be welcomed from any one.. He declares that service is going to be recognized as never be fore, and the republican majority; will address itself to the needs of Oregon in a-patriotic rather thin a partisan spirit1 Included in tho interview, Mr. llurdick said: '.: k 1 "This talk or taking away ap pointments from the "governor Is only talk, as I get the rumors, for the house members have indicated no such program against; Mr. Pierce.' Representatives arfe going to Salem ' to' work for the "state, and they are Interested In effici ency and economy and' are not actuated by a desire to play petty politics. Just remember that leg islators' pay Is $3 a day and that the house is full of successful men in many lines who are making a personal sacrifice in contributing their services to the common wealth. Taxpayers want a busi nesslike session, and the repre sentatives will try to make good on that. "And one thing more. I have not heard a member say he wanted to put the governor In, a hole, or punish him. The governor has his responsibilities and duties as gov- ! ernor; the house has its duties and responsibilities as the house." STATE NORMAL Of course there is a great de mand for appropriations. Paid lobbyists will be here presenting everything under the sun. There is one institution that must not be crippled. It must be given money enough to continue. The state normal has doubled its at tendance the last three years. It is almost in the bread-line so far as money is concerned, yet it con tinues to exert every ounce of Its strength for the betterment of the Oregon schools. It is very essen tial to have the schools taught fey those understanding normal work and while all the educational in stitutions of the ."'state, are doing good work, the Monmouth normal Is the only one devoted exclusively to .fthet principle,, of better teach-: ersf . , r . ,-. :i If the ways and means' commit tee of the legislature will take a trip over to Monmouth, which is only 1 5 miles ' distant, and will familiarize itself with tho work that is being donjs there and pre sent first-hand the needs' of this school, there is no question that it will be permitted to expand as it should. Those familiar .with the work being done are all parti sans of the state normal. ! . LOOKIN G UP The trade balance in favor of the United States for the month of November was $198,000,000. Our exports s are getting larger. For the 11 months ending with November the United : States had a favorable balance-on the basis of department of commerce figures of $869,000,000, produced by ex ports of $4,145,000,000 and' Im ports Of $3,276.000,00b:'wWe im- ported gold to the amount of $19,1; 849,000 and silver to the amount of $6,480,000. Our exports of the two metals amounted to about $16,000,000. Grain - exports-conr tinue to be gratifying which means that the price will stay up.";' The talk about the slaughter ef the , Christmas trees is not war ranted. The greatest desire of a tree if it could speak would be to contribute to human happiness, and no tree does this quite so much as the Christmas tree. . A tree has not lived in vain that finds its last resting place in a home on. Christmas eve. ' The modern test of will power Is to work cross-word puzzles or let 'em alone.
