That was the! excess of arrivals over departures. i In normal times, immigration is valuable, helps ‘qevelop the nation’s resources and increases its} wealth. But during depression, immigration just adds | to, unemployment. | FARMS | American farmers use 2,146,512 autos, 181,512 motor trucks and 2,508,002 tlepehones, according’ to the 1920 census returns. | Life “down on the farm” steadily lacks fewer | comforts and conveniences. Science is giving the) farmer the comforts that a decade or two ago were) practically unknown outside the city. ' In time this will solve the “back to the farm”) problem. Men go where it’s most attractive. 1 FAILURES In August 1562 American business concerns; went bankrupt, says R. G. Dunn & Co., credit ex-; ‘perts.

Too many people went into business; during the war. More middlemen than are need-} ed. Old Man Bankruptcy is weeding them out.

Here's the official explanation from the Postoffice Department: é \“The arming of line clerks, transfer clerks and registry terminal clerks to guard the mails has; greatly reduced the number of holdups. Rifle ranges and police galleries are being used all over! the country for target practice.” | In the days of the ‘pony express in the wild) west, the mail service held a lure for those who Mail service, 1921 model, offers the same sort; of thrills. ; | i NARCOTICS The Senate finance committee decides to con-| tinue transportation taxes, though freight, pass-| enger and Pullman taxes may be cut in two for the next year. i Admittedly, the government has to raise money | somewhere. But taxes on transportation are nar-| cotics for business. They handicap export of farm | products and shipment of manufactures. | Income taxes makes the big people yelp, but it doesn’t narcotize general prosperity like penaliz-' ing movement of freight and passengers. | THE WORLD, A STAR | but must take one of cotton.” Mother earth is a dancer, performing 14 differ- | ent movements as she whirls onward through |order was canceled. “This is no time to expand. | space, says Camille Flammarion, French astron- omer.

Most of the nuisances and pests of life are “lit- tle things.” Many of the biggest problems in your life originate with trivialities improperly handled. The blacksmith forged a mighty chain, but left a weak link. That one link caused the ship to break from its anchor in a storm and drift to de- struction on a reef. So can a career, a home, an important under- taking, a life’s work be wrecked —by a “little thing.” Keep your eyes on the big problems.

KABER In the Ohio Reformatory for Women, a plot is bared by which bribery and murder were to be used to free Mrs. Eva Katherine Kaber, serving a life term for husband-murder. The venture was to be financed out of a $50,000 fund which Mrs. Kaber claims a movie company! had offered for a film of the story of her life. The Arbuckle case has started a movement to houseclean the movies. First thing hit by the! broom should be the exploitation of criminals and scandal-characters in films. State legislatures should bar such films. EDITORIAL REVIEW O By Pot Boiler. Charles Cheney, political writer for the Minneapolis Journal, has been in Bismarck studying political conditions, The Pot Boiler is presenting his views of the controversy for the edification of Tribune readers.

Indpendents Confident of Victory. Mr. O'Connor is going on the stump for the recall ticket, and so are num- jerous other leaders of the state. The recall ticket wil have one advantage | the independents never possessed bhe- fore. The candidates will be on the ballot without party designation. Mr. O'Connor was beaten Just fall by the Harding wave. He was on the Demo- | cratic ticket, which in North Dakota stands in a separate cojumn. Straight Republican votes, cast: or, Harding beat him, as the independegts won on their recall measures und on the two offices where party jines were not drawn. aBrring unforseen developments, the independent forces are very confident of winning this fight. Une factor they expect to help ‘them will be stay-ai- home votes. They believe from reports that there are thousands of league far- mers not ready as yet to go over to the oppogition, yet so disgusted with the explditing methods of their leaders that they will not go to the polls. A symptom to bear out this prediction is ; the poor attendance at Attorney Gen- | eral Lemke’s meetings, on his present | tout of the state. Former Governor John Lind of Min- |nesota is to take the stump for the Nonpartisan league oificials, according to announcement ‘today by Senator A. ! A.
