ANTIHOOVERIZINGr
FEATURE AT BENTON
Appropriations Made by County
Court for Persons Not In
mates of Poorhouse.
(Special to The News.)
Benton, Jan. 10. The January, 1918,
terra of the quarterly county court con
vened here Monday morning. Anti-
Hooverizlng seemed to be the order of
the day. Chairman S. I Hlgdon was
reelected for another year and his sal
ary was raised to $1,200 per year. The
court appropriated back pay to the
amount of $400, thereby making his sal
ary for the year 1917 $1,200 instead of
$800. The chairman was authorized to
select two men, and the two men so se
lected and the chairman were author
ized to purchase ground on which to
erect a library, and the court passed an
order appropriating the sum of $1,000 a
year for the maintenance of the library
when built. R. I Lyle, keeper of the
poor, was allowed $1 additional per per
son over last year's allowance for all
persons kept at the poorhouse. In addi
tion to the appropriation made for the
poor kept at the poorhouse a number of
appropriations were made by the court
for persons who are not inmates of the
poorhouse. When one looks over the
names and amounts donated by the court
he Is made to wonder whether or not
the members of the court would be so
free to dish out the dollars if they had
to dig down in their own pockets after
them.

MEXICO'S CHIEF TROUBLE
MAKER AGAIN ON WARPATH
Recent Outbreak Yaqui Indians Recalls Checkered His
toryDispossessed of Their Rich Valleys, the One
Time Agricultural Tribes Now Live as Bandits.
Hermoslllo, Sonora, Mex., Dec. SI.
(Correspondence Associated Press.)
The Taqui Indian has been the trouble
maker of northwestern Mexico for
generations and his recent outbreak
is but one of a large number which
have occurred during the administra
tions of Diaz, Madero and other lead
ers. Starting with the Bronco Taquls
along the Bio Yaqui, in southwestern
Sonora, early In September, the re
volt has spread to many of the allied
tribes. Including the Mansos Yaquis,
whd have been peaceful in the past
and who derived their names froi.. the
fact that they worked with their
hands.
In the rich Taqui river valley of
southwestern Sonora the Indian up
rising has had its center. The In
dian towns of Potam, Vacum, Bacum,
La Colorada and Sunqui Grande have
been scenes of various Indian raids
and Mexican federal troops have been
unable to make any great headway
In conquering these warring tribes
men. The revolt reached Its height
after the fall harvests of corn, beans
and garbanzo had been harvested.
Storehouses where these crops were
put away for the winter were looted
and the Indians extended their field
of operations far into the north to
ward Hermoslllo, the capital. Ammu
nition and rifles were smuggled across
the Sonora border for them and a
number of engagements fought be
tween the Taquls and the federals
resulted in the routing of the govern
ment troops.
Land Problem Causes Unrsst.
The basic cause of the unrest among
these northwestern Mexico Indians Is
the land problem. At one time these
Indians owned and tilled thousands
of acres of the most fertile land in
the republic which was watered by
the Taqui river. These lands were
gradually confiscated by the various
governments and parceled out to fa
vorites of the ruling powers. The In
dians claim they were given inferior
lands In place of their original hold
ings and Insist upon the restoration
of these tribal holdings. One Ameri
can company new controls 300,000
acres of land in the Yaqui country,
much of which Is claimed by the In
dians. The Taqui tribes were originally
agricultural people with a bent for
hunting In the mountains during the
winter. They are stocky, sturdy and
possess many of the traits of the
American Indian. Fighting has late
ly been one of their chief occupations,
as they have been on the warpath
either In their own interest or for the
various de facto governments for fif

teen years.
During the days of President Diaz
the Yaquis were dispossessed of much
of their fertile valley lands by Gen.
Torres, the federal governor of So
nora, Large numbers were deported
from the state by boat to the hot
lands of Yucatan and to Tres Marias
Island, off the coast of Teptc This
was one of the chief grievances which
caused the Yaqui war. This war con
tinued until the outbreak of the Ma
dero revolution when the Indians
Joined with Madero against their
sworn enemies of the old federal re
glme. Helped Shstter Villa's Dream.
They did much of the hard fighting
during the Madero and subsequent
revqlutions, especially at Cclaya.
where they were Gen. Obregon's chief
mainstay when Villa and his power
ful army attacked the entrenched po
sitions of Obregon's Carranza force.
The Yaquis were given l uch of the
credit for this victory which shattered
Villa's dream of political power and
drove him back to the border. At
Agua Prleta, Sonora, the Yaquis again
aided In defeating Villa and causing
him to revert to his guerrilla cam
paign, which Included the Santa Ysa
bel and Columbus, N. M., massacres.
Gen. Plutarco Ellas Calles has un
dertaken a "mailed fist" campaign
against the Yaqui Indians In Sonora to
suppr--s the present uprisings. He has
interned the peaceful Yaquis In re
concentration camps and has ordered
all others hunted down and killed.
Wholesale deportations to the hot
lands of Mexico have also been threat
ened. The Taquls are divided Into two
classes. One Is the "bronco Yaqui,"
which Includes the fiercest of the
fighters and the sturdiest of the
tribesmen. The other class includes
the "manses" or peaceful Indians.
Numbers of attempts have been
made to convert these Indians to
peaceful ways. President Madero had
a commission of Indians visit him in
Mexico City. Later he sent a com
mission tp treat with the tribal lead
ers. But the Indians claimed they
were not given back their promised
lands and were soon on the warpath.
The present uprising is said by offi
cials of the government to be the
most threatening since the days of
Diaz.
