Little constructive legisla- tion can be expected, in view: of the defeats “administered to Democratic members of the lower house. - Although the Democratic ‘party’ re- tained control of the executive branch of the government by a close margin, its prestige in Congress is weakened. In the House it is probable that ‘Champ Clark will yield to a Republi- can speaker when the ‘Sixty-fifth Con- &ress convenes. Democratic control suffered a se- vere blow in\the ‘Senate. While Wil- son’s leaders remain in the saddle, it is with a very small working major- ity. .Senator Kern, his chief hench- aman, has. been replaced by a Republi- can. Stormy, times are ahead for the Democrats. The wages of sin is death; with ex- tra pay for overtime, all right. YOUR FAMILY BUDGET! . , ‘High wages for everybody and high prices for everything mean of the family budget. ‘What is a budget? Planning how you will spend: your salary—balancing your’ accounts be- forehand, not for the sake of counting your chickens before they are hatch- ed, but in order to divide your wages 6o that your family. will get the most Fevision}, tribution. Failing there, then it will be time to think seriously of an em- | bargo on the exportation of foodstuffs. WHERE, OH WHERE? Editor—What has become of the old-fashioned housewives, who, them- 00 | selves used to cold storage eggs and butter against this high prices of win- ter? Cc. M. ‘We don’t know “C. M.” Maybe he is Commission Merchant. But we can answer his query about the old- fashioned housewives aforesaid. The species is extinct. If that epidemic of foot and mouth disease develops, meat will go so high that even the aviators can’t get it. FARMER ON ECONOMICS, Secretary McAdoo, out at Los An- geles trying to get a rest, tries to cheer us up. Speaking on the high cost of living, he says: “There should be no occasion for alarm, as the prosperity of the coun- try will insure ample funds with which to purchase necessaries, de- spite the fact that the cost has gone soaring.” We put this cheer up to a horny- handed farmer friend, who said: is on a large, reliable salary, Now, we producer folks are not on salary or anything else that’s certain. When we have big crops, we get little prices. When prices are high, we haven't the big crops. At present, however, wo Rave fair crops, for which we are getting fair prices, ‘but we have to pay 40 to 140 per cent more for every- thing. we have to buy, In the end,.we are no better off than before. Merely, more money passes through ‘our handg; just. as little of it sticks to our hands as ever. I've always thought, too, that this is about the case with the factory hand and the taiff. Low tariff—low wages and low prices of necessities. High tariff— high wages and high prices. Simply, a little more of the money slips through the workingman’s hands un- der high tariff. Of course, there’s no occasion for alarm. With us farmers the question is, as with everybody else, how much we will save, how faithfully we shall deny ourselves lux- uries,. while the income increase is passing through our hands?” New York’s bureau of weights offi- cially calls for.an egg boycott. We'll ‘bet on the cold: storage egg to hold out the longer. ‘NEW MAGAIZNE, |" On January; 5, 1914, there will ap- Dear, a ‘new, magazine, named “The Periscope.” It will be edited and pub- ‘at that city, and, will be:devoted:to an exposition and discussion of the prin- ciples and tenets’ of ‘Democracy: Its object will be the propagation of a better understanding of the princi- comfort for the. least money. You know what your wages for the next month or the next year will ‘be. You also know what are your neces- sities and luxuries. According to the budget system, you -divide youry in- come to cover these needs, and never Tob one to increase the other, nor spend more than your appropriation. Few do this, but those who are thus forehanded generally prosper. Nobody can tell exactly what anoth- ‘er's budget ought to be. One estimate allows 20 per cent for urent, 12 per. cent for operating ex: Denses, such as ifght, heat, ‘carfare and laundry; 18 per cent for cloth- ‘ing; 15 per cent for incidentals— amusements, education, church, lodge, doctor, dentist, savings and insur- ance; and 35 per cent for food: This may be a proper distribution of a salary, and again it may not. No law of expenditure can possibly be made. earls ne At present high prices, families Hv- ing on $1,000 a year probably are spending 45 per cent for food. Fam- ilies living on $2,500 need spend no more than $450 a year for food; thus as the income increases ‘the percent: age required for food becomes small- er. People who try to practice econ omy are usually content with a clear- ing house system of accounting. They balance their books at the end of the , Month and are satisfied if they have not spent more than they have earn- ed, if there are no unpaid and unpay- able bills. But this method gets them nowhere. It conceals bad management without remedying it. The budget system is better, for it substitutes sense for chance in spend: ing. The auto men aren't up to snuff, ad- vertisingly speaking. Nobody's tell- ing what sort of make Villa's using in leading his troops. FOOD EMBARGO. This nation should go slowly in the matter of food embargoes. States and municipalities can, if they will, apply remedies to ease the situation caused by the prevalence of high prices. A federal embargo will give rise to foreign complications that may some day in the hour of our own need react unfavorably. 3 Exert all means to correct domes- ‘the evils tnour schemie*of food dis- ' ples.of Democracy and will include in hits columns discussions: of ‘all the great public questions by’ contributors of national fame who have specializ- ed upon these subjects. There will be no attempt at sensationalism and Personalities or attacks upon persons will be barred from its pages. It will contain lively and interesting reading matter that will catch the eye of the man who is attracted by the sparkle of wit and the twinkle of humor, as well as. the solider. and more serious discussions of public questions. ‘The, name,’ “Periscope,” may ‘have an ominous or sinister sound’ to: those who remember the sub-sea disasters and: the horrors of the ‘European }trenches. Yet the instrument itself has no deadly nature and has become an/Instrument of universal use, aiding human vision and enlarging its acope, regardless of the location or situation of the user, and permitting him to view scenes and events that, but for it, would be hidden from him. Mr. McArthur's Periscope aims to fill this field in the political world of the ‘Northwest. Mr. McArthur should be able to use such an instrument to the dest effect by reason of his standing as a Democrat in the state, his knowl edge of political history and its char- acters. His eight years’ experience as a state senator and four years more as democratic campaign man- ager in the years when Democracy, was successful in North Dakota, has given him an insight Into affairs and a knowledge of men that equips him peculiarly for the editing of such a magazine and he should he: able to purvey to the people of this state reading matter of a vital interest. ‘Such a magazine should fill a field that has been, hitherto, unoccupied in the Northwest and in a state where politics are perennial and __ political discussion never ceases, it. should have an instant and gratifying popu- larity. ‘Ai 13-year-old boy of Kansas City beat all the girls in his school in a contest for canning.

YOUMAAS LOSES OUT IN HGH COURT'S DECISION Supreme Bench Holds Minot Banker Cannot Collect from Banking Board There was little satisfaction for Grant S.

Date ‘in 1916; But 191 Given Out Six : Wears Ago ' Much. has. been. said.of..the-notaiile increase of live stock -in. North: Dako- | ta‘during the pdst few years. Real evidence of this gain is found in rec- ords of the office of Commissioner of Agriculture and Labor Flint. In 1905, a year of; heavy immigra- tion, 509 stock brands, were issued from the™,commisioner’s office. By 1911,. several good crop years had so reduced the interest. in live stock that | ‘but 191 brands were applied for. Then .and live stock began to pick up. It reached its pinnacle for North Dako ta in 1916, with a total’ of (849 new brands, to date. In November 82 brands ‘ere issued, and if December holds up as well the total will be 930, as compared with 819'for 1915. Feeding Stock. Increased receipts ‘of feeding stock’ are shown by the admission on tu- berculin tests in 1916 or 15,162 head, as compared with 753 in 1911. In 1916, 13,808 stockers and feeders were admitted on inspection, as against 2,964 in 1911, Buying Breeders Here “Until very recently,” said Commis- sioner Flint today, “no one thought of came a couple of poor wheat: years, | 4! coming to North Dakota for pure bred breeding stock. In 1916, however, there left the state after being tuber: culin tested, 2,172 pure-bred cattle. In 1911 the total.wag but 895.” Increased Dairying. The dairying interest has kept pace with live stock. In 1911, North Dako- ta had 83 creameries and 180 cream stations. In 1916, there are 76 cream- eries and 411 cream stations, indicat- ing a wider diffusion of dairying and a closer concentration of ¢regmeries. In_ 1911, North Dakota reported 168, 787 dairy cows, while in 1916 there are 221,822, In 1911 the total receipts from dairying were $3,811,214; this year they are to date $5,277,770. CLAIM BRITISH TREATY suit for damages aggregating $250,000 against a former North Dakota bank board and prominent members of the Minot banking fraternity The supreme court in its opinion, written’ by Judge Bruce, found that Youmans had no case, and that Jim Manahan, ‘as 2 Minnesota attorney, had no right to practice before the North Dakota supreme court, “except as a matter of courte: The shot at Manahan was taken because of his ef- forts to delay action in the Youmans case and his failure when he court did grant a hearing on the motion for delay to appear personally with a properly prepared brict.
