THE STATE’S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) GET YOUR PENCILS OUT If it cost Blakemore $20,000 to superintend the building of one bungalow in Bismarck after two years in office, how much and how many years will it take to erect 20 bungalows in Fargo? . BECOMING PENURIOUS? Governor Frazier recently offered a reward of $1,000 for the capture of the fiend who murdered eight defenceless persons on a Turtle Lake farm. Is the administration becoming penurious? Here is a case at least where Townley’s motto: “The Sky is the Limit,” should have obtained. We suggest that Fred W. Cathro, the $10,000 a year state fed and state bedded director general, pass the hat and help swell the reward from among the state officials receiving $5,000 a year or more. MUST HAVE HOUSES The government is spending millions on every conceivable scheme, yet has not spent a dollar and has not made an effort to provide homes for the people in their great need. In fact, the pub- lic’s ability to get loans for home building has actually been reduced in recent months through tight credit largely caused by the Federal Re- serve Board’s increase in discount rates to banks, which is being reflected in reduced lending and higher interest rates. The dangers’ of the housing situation in this country cannot be overestimated. Hundreds of thousands of people are literally in distress and despair because they cannot find fit places. to live, or because of the utter impossibility of meet- ing enormous rent increases. In.thousands of homes living standards are ac- tually being seriously reduced because too large a portion of the family income is going into rent, because of over-crowding, poor sanitation and similar handicaps imposed by the housing short- age. Of all forms of profiteering, that of the land- lord has probably been the most flagrant and merciless. A horde of house and apartment spec- ulators has grown rich by repeated buying and selling of houses and apartments, by sales of leases and similar practices. Restlessness and discontent, disease, unsani- tary conditions and impaired morals are the log- ical products of the situation, It is a crying shame that the government has done nothing to correct this grave condition. The government, of course, cannot do, all; but by its help the situation can be remedied far more speedily than otherwise. The highest duty of a government is to pro- tect and assist its people—in fact, that is the reason for its existence. EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinions of The Tribune, They are pre- sented here in order \hat our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed im the press of the day. PROMISES? An editorial in one of our exchanges seems to hit the nail on the head when it says: We were promised a state bank that would Mrs. Moffit and her pupils presented make money plentiful and cheap in North Dakota, We got a bank that has made money scarcer than it ever was before, and higher than it has} 54 been for years, and is driving all outside capital from the state. We were promised that the financial resources would be “kept at home.” We got a financial institution that keeps depos- its at New York, Chicago and the Twin Cities. We were promised cheaper flour as the result | of the state flour mill. We got a mill that claims to be profiteering at the rate of 85 per cent yearly, but we haven’t noticed any reduction in living costs. We were'promised assistance for the man of small means to build his own home. We got a “homebuilders’ association” that has built one bungalow in a year, and spent twice the|- cost of the building in “overhead.” We were promised an economical administra- tion. We got doubled and trebled taxes. We were promised a “Farmers’” government. We got a government by imported socialists who actually discriminated against farmers in levying of taxes. We were promised a free press. We got the Brinton newspaper grab bill. We were promised free speech. We got the “liars’ license law.” We were promised representative government. We got the abolition of the Australian ballot for part of the voters. We were promised democracy. We got caucus.aule. The comparison between promises and perform- | ance could be continued almost indefinitely. The best arguments against the socialist rule in North Dakota is its own record of inefficiency and lack of accomplishment.—Wells County Farmer. Ieee LIVELY TOWNS IN COUNTY HOLDING FINE MEETINGS The community meetings held in the county recently were a decided success. ‘Che community program at Driscoll Wednesday evening consisted of recitations, solos, duets, dramatiza- tion by the school, Miss Bertha Pal- i WAS DiFFICULT TO Gb HIS BREATH, . : qt ‘ FARMER DECLAKES “beiore 1 started taking ‘Tanlac 1 Was almost past going, but since tak- aug i 1 can work all day without Being Nail as ured as 4 did in two hours belore,” said us.

Gustafson, county agricultural agent, showed scenic pictures from St. Paul to the Pacific coast. Chapin Meeting The meeting of Chapin Friday even- ing was equally as successful and entertaining. A playlet, “American Beauties” was the hit of the evening. A special feature was a solo by four- ( enjoyable. year-old Peaches Dutton. Miss Pal- mer repeated’ her talk given at Dris- coll. Miss Stark, who had charge of both meetings, told about Cho Cho and requested a good attendance at the health clown’s performance on (May 22. Mr. Gustafson gave his il- lustrated lecture.

Ten miles used > to be along way HAT a difference in these -motor-car days, when every point in the county is hardly more than “just around the corner.” People’s ideas are chang- ing, too. : They’re beginning to fig- ure out how much it is cost- ing them to keep a car. And the man who is doing the greatest amount of figuring is the man with the moderate- price car. rl There still seems to be a notion in some quarters that any tire is good enough for a small car. i That’s not what the men who owns it thinks.
