Five hundred million dollars per annum, is what tuberculosis.costs this country merely for the diminished length of life brought about hy the great white plague. This is entirely apart, fromthe enormous ad- ditional expense which results from the long per- jod of sickness due to tuberculosis. Counting loss of wages from inability to work, ‘the cost of médical, nursing and extradietary and other case, matty more mil lions must-he added to the above, in order to give an approximate meg ure of the fearful toll of this scourge of man- kind, Criticism) has been made that it is wrong to translate the ravages of disease into terms of dollars. | Nevertheless, much as one may sympathize with this view, there is value in directing atten- tion to the mere economic loss entailed by dis- ease. : - \ \ In tuberculosis, especially, this is of service, for the control of the disease is largely’a com- munity problem, and requires community inter- est and financial support. ; Faced with many important problems of pub- lic welfare, the community will be more willing to give adequate support to measures for the control of tuberculosis if it can be assured that ; this is economically a sound investment. Moreover, once the enormous financial burden entailed by the presence of tuberculosis is real- ized, there will be greater willingness to face’ come of the difficult: economic and social prob- Jems which lie at the root of this prevalent) dis. ease. 4 Sooner -or -later,'the community will realize the necessity of dealing effectively with such questions as adequate wages, decent housing, ‘sanitary \ working conditions, health education, and insurance against sickness. : None of these things can be had. without cost, but expenditures on such-constructive preventive measures are less than the:toll now exacted by a host of preventable diseases. Are YOU interested? Do YOU want to help? Would YOU like to inform YOURSELF as to what constitutes an adequate health program for the modern American community? If so write to the Information Editor, United States Public Health Service, and ask for the reprint entitled “Is Your Community Fit.” PAYING THEIR DEBTS They’re puling out of debt! Who? The bor- rowing individuals, communites, states, and see- tions of what is called the “Great Interior.” They are getting on their financial feet, which is’ to say, they are headed upward and onward again. Good news! Of course! And here’s the proof: Last October only three of the federal reserye banks were in the “lending” class. These were Cleveland, Philadelphia and‘ Boston. The other eight were then “borrowing” nioney of the three. These interbank rediscounts reached the peak at | the end of October, when the total was $247,000,- 00. All the agricultural sections of the country were in the “borrowing” class. The nation view- ed with alarm the rising clouds of nicreased in- terbank rediscounts. Then it was that the decis- ion to contract loans was maidle—and enforced. With what result? Interbank rediscounts (frozen credits, large- | CVery where, who ere dependent upon the farmers | pfoperty in such Mortgage and hercin- ly), dropped to less than $20,000,000 by Feb.'11. This is one-twelfth of what the debt was’ lest fall. Take Atlanta to start with. Atlanta in Oc- tober had called upon the other federal reserve banks for $36,122,000. By December 3 this was increased to more than 41 million. Then that district began liquidating its debts. On Feb. 11 Atlanta owed but $5,115,000. , *. Minneapolis bank did even better. It reduced its interbank debt from more than 26 million to less than ONE million. Richmond entirely wiped out its debt, which was over $14,000,000, October 29." Dallas reduced from more than 32 millions of debts to less than 14 millions. Kansas City,,did the “impossible” by reducing a debt_of $44,895,000 in October to not-a-cent in February. This country has never witnessed a more won- derful ability to pay debts than it has in the last four months. And, business.’ experience proves it true, when a man, or collection of men, are able-to pay their debts’so promptly, they in pretty good shape to tackle any post-panic oblems that may arise. | Comments..reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune. They a presented here. in order that our readers may have ! both eldes of important {ssues which are being dis- cussed in the press of the day. NO COMPROMISE POSSIBLE There cannot be too strong insistence on the fact that in the straightening out of the affairs’ of the state there can be no such thing as com-, promise. It is possible always to compromise on a humber of details when there is | sub- jstantial agreement, on the principles involved. | But in this case the applicatfdn of the principles of sound and safe governnient involves the abso- |Inte obliteration of the agencies which have threatened to involye the state in ruin, and on that there can be no compromise. Despite the essential soundness of the state, | its credit is non-existent and its.affairs are at a standstill. Responsibility ‘for that condition rests, immediately on the management of the Bank of North Dakota, and there will be no change in the methods of{ the Bank of North Da- ‘kota until there is a change in the personnel of the hoard which controls it. That fact-has been’ made too plain for discussion, The Bank of North Dakota must go out of business as a commercial institution. So long as it remains in its present form it menaces the evedit. and security ‘of the state. Operated by men of a different type it might be made to avoid | the Scandalous methods: which have brought. it and the state into disrepute, but no matter by} whem operated, its form of organization makes: it ‘always possible that it will be used as some: hody’s' political instrument. ‘ | It would be just as improper, just as objection-| able, to have a great, central bank, controlling all | the public funds of the state, and wielding pro-| portionate power, used for the promotion of the! political activities of the I. V. A. as for the pro-| motion of the political activities of rampant So-| sialism. And, with unlimited power vested in a} small political body there would, always exist the; temptation to use it in that manner, and alway there would exist the suspicion that the power; was being so used. \ | The Bank of North Dakota must be taken out of the field of commercial buginess, and it cannot} be removed except by changing the political con- | trol of the state. With that change must go the elimination of the whole industrial and comiper- | cial program which has been planned and partly, put into effect by the Socialist adminstration, ; except thosd items of legitimate experimentation | to which the state is already definitely commit-' ted, and which it is in honor bound to carry to: their proper conclusion —Grand Forks Herald. THE I ND OF SOCIALISM North Dakota is to remain, until it gets tired of it, an isolated Socialist community_and the per-/ fect example of Socialist finance. It has been} vainly trying to borrow $6,200,000. It was sup-, posed that certain bankers were willing to under- take the sale of the bondsjon condition that the State sheuld virtually abandon the Socialist pro-/ gram of the Non-Paltisan League, liquidate the/ practically insolvent Bank of North Dakota and! generally come back from Bedlam. The agrarian | Socialists were at the end of their tether and forced to accept the terms of the bankers, repre- sentatives of, ‘monopolistic privilege,” ‘ in ‘the League dialect. The bankers have pondered the! bargain and refuse it. 5 | They don’t want to try to sell the bonds be-} cause there is a doubt as to their validity, because | the League is divided into hostile factions about | the transaction, because thk bonds have been ped-' dled about in New York and Chicago by irrespon-| sible persons and have lost credit with investors; because, principally and fundamentally, the bank- | ers feel that the public has no appetite for th | bonds of'a Socialist State, and because, naturally, | they. don’t. want to seem to prescribe a system o ‘government, of the North Dakotans So Mr. Town iley’s economists are left to stew in their own | ‘juice. > | ; It is an impressive tribute to the genius of the) North Dakota Socialists that a State so rich in) ‘resources can’t borrow money even at 9 per cent, | iwhile the 6 per cent, bonds of the other Dakota | jare selling at a premium. In its appeal “to the, ,citizenry of North Dakota” the bank asks the vot- jers “for the support of ity program, designed to! |free the farmers of North Dakota and the workers! \for the means cf liv'ng, from the iron grip” of the exploiters, and so forth. “Nothing has transpired | jin North Dakota,” the appeal humorously says, | “to cause any alarm or to justify any meritorious opposition to these bond issues.” Therefore, “the 'eo-operation of the people of North Dakota is so- licited.” Well, the pcon'e outside of North Dakota. | show no disposition to co-epcrate for- its relief. ; One suspects t even that favered ‘people is more than a litt’> slow in sudseziding.
