tion.

Native Customs
No attempt to absorb the Nav
ajo Indian into the white man's
civilisation should be made, Su
perintendent O. H. Lipps of Che-
mawa told chamber of commerce
members Monday noon. Rather
the tribe, now 40,000 In number,
should be left In its native terri
tory of 12,000.000 square miles
and there should be allowed to
pursue the native arts and cus
toms which have made the Nava-
Jos one of the finest Indian
groups left.
- Llpps said' that the problem of
the northern tribes, stow largely
"civilised" was different, and ad
vocated, that as long as past edu
cational practices had worked to
wards absorption aof these In
dians Into American life, the -pro
cess should be' carried on and
completed. ' , , .
Talk nittst rated
With Products
Lipps sketched the history of
the Navajos and told about many
of their customs.. He Illustrated
his remarks about their rug
weaving by a display ot a sum
ber, ot different Navajo rugs he
possessed.
' The Navajo, ethnologlcally an
Indian, from the north, moved
Into the south and replaced an
ancient tribe which had already
developed a civilization, he said.
Here the Navajo distinguished
himself as a virile Indian, belig-
gerent at times and self-reliant.
He was able to take from a
desert land thought unfit for civ
ilisation by the whites, sufficient
subsistence to support a race
which grew from 9000 in IsCt
to 40,000 at the present time.
Retaining a civilisation pri
marily pastoral, the Navajo' add
ed the art of rug wearng which
he probably learned from the
Pueblo tribes who in turn ac
quired the industry from the
Spaniards. . These rugs, now
known throughout the world.
augmented the support he made
by agriculture.
BLx Religious
Festivals Held
Lipps said the Navajos were a
religious people, working out
many of their religious beliefs
In great festivals. Some of their
rites have been shown In pat
terns in their rugs.
Among the peculiar customs of
the race la one that a son-in-law
never looks into the face of his
mother-in-law. A Navajo Indian

' . 1 ;
The cooperation of Hal E. Host,
secretary of state. In a program
of economy directed by Governor
Meier, was pledged by the former
yesterday In a letter received at
the executive department. Hoss
as a member of the state board
of control passes on all requisi
tions for state supplies.
I classify requests coming be
fore the board of control for ma
terial and services into three di
visions." read Hoss letter, "First
are requests originating in any of
the state boards, commissions or
departments over which the gov
ernor exercises Jurisdiction. With
this group over which exclusive
Jurisdiction rests with the execu
tive. I pledge 100 per cent. coop
eration in denying any request
which does not meet with his ap
proval, : ...... -
"In" the second group are the
elective state' officials. Proper
requisitions from these officials,
evidencing the need for the ar
ticle or service, funds for which
are available through appropria
tions or fees and for which appro
val has been given by the budget
director and the ways and means
committee ot the legislature us
ually should be approved. These
officials are elected by the peo
ple themselves, who evidently
thought they had business Judg
ment enough to conduct properly
tneir omces."
Large Savins;
Already Made .
"The remaining group falls un
der two heads. One concerns the
expenditure of funds over which
the legislature alone has Jurisdic
tion and the other those boards
and institutions operating under
the state board of control. With
these, I am willing and eager to
cut to the bone and to cooperate
with the other board members In

the prison, who declsred that this
equipment would add materially
to the attractiveness of the gusrds
and distinguish them from other
employes ot the institution. :
Governor Meier declared that
he was opposed to the purchase of
the belts for the reason that they
would cost considerable money
and would in no way increase the
efficiency of the guards, j j i j
"These guards j look g o o d
enough to me,' " said Governor
Meier, "and I see no reason for
aporoving this purchase." r ; J !

ing in the negative
Governor Meier also went ou
