The doctrine cf peace on earth and good will to men never had so much publicity. ‘ The press and the magazines teem with homilies, on the brotherhood of man. Instruments of tor-| ture no longer have much standing in the war, councils. The submarines and the poison gas, bemb are viewed in most circles with an abhor-! rence that promise8‘to reduce if not banish their, potency. | North Dakota has come through six years of/ bitter political warfare.. Every instrument of i political strife has been utilized from mud bat-| teries to verbal gas bombs. It would seem that| in the year of our Lord 1922, starting with such, promise of harmony and; international amity,, that the state political leadefs might with good! grace place political contention, upon. a ,higher plane. : The state is on the eve of the biennial primary | struggle. It should be possible to come through it so that party alignments might prevail that) will solidify party factions for the best interests | of all the people of the state. Opening up political graves, revealing nasty | scars and hurling persofal invectives merely con-| fuse the issues. These. political weapons have| beén used generally by all factions. None can | claim immunity, but if the state is to forge ahead| there must be an end of it all. There is room here for a general disarmament | conference among the various factions that claim! to be Republicans, although party labels have; lost much of their significance. Surely it will be, possible to go through the next primary campaign} so that Republicans can all rally around their nom- inees and Democrats can do likewise. As long as} the mud batteries and the gas bombs befoul the, political atmosphere of the state no constructive work can be done. If political spoils are more important than the principles of the two dominant | parties, disgust over political methods employed; will become more acute. Mudslinging from what-; ever source it comes does not impress the rank and file of voters of either party. Those leaders charged with handling the poli- «tical campaigns can do much to raise the stand- ards of the combat. Strife there will be and| should be along political lines until by majority; vote honestly cast and counted, the issues are set-| ‘tled by. the various parties, but political contention) ‘which dodges the issues and hurls personalities in lieu of sound sense and logic, should have short shrift at the hands of the voters. ~~ REVERSING HIMSELF Walt Taylor of the LaMoure Chronicle calls Percy Trubshaw to time in a recent issue of his} “newspaper. The Valley City Times-Record in| =speaking of Congressman Young’s candidacy. for renomination pointed with considerable gusto and pride to the fact that he served upon some of the} most important House committees. Recently, however, when Senator McCumber| became chairman of an important committee and . Some of his friends began urging this as a valid argument for his reelection, The Times-Record! asks belligerently: “Is this a one man nation?” = Mr. Taylor promptly answers that there are! as good fish in the sea as ever have come out up} = to date and admonishes the vigorous editor of the Times-Record to watch out for short currents and/ rossed wires. é | Political arguments when they fit our friends re conclusive, but when applicable with equal ; stheir iridescence. 4 In pointing out Congressman Young’s import-| “ant standing in the House as a reason for his re-| «turn to office Mr. Trubshaw must remember that} * what is sauce for the goose is also sauce for the! “ gander, as Walt Taylor effectively discloses. | The Chronicle, however, in our humble esti-j “mation dismissed too empirically—with a wave of the editorial pen as it were—the significance of| committee assignments. Mere membership on a committee often carries little weight, but the “chairmanship of one of the most important com- mittees gives the state a political asset which is! ‘Jegitimate campaign thunder. The Tribune agrees / _with the Chronicle that there must be a record of ‘performance behind the committee assignments, put Walt Taylor’s blanket indictment that stand- E Editor prestige of his committee appointments, but those ithat )American busine: [thought to those that do. ‘rates discriminatory against national commerce. there is even pending a: bill to make lawful action jof that sort which the Supreme Court has more orce to opponents they naturally. lose some of | lable that already there are grounds for such in- skillfully he has tempered his conclusion. | Every candidate is going to be aided by the lalone are not the determining factors with the voters as all politicians very well know. Just recall the defeat of the late “Jim” Tawney cf Minnesota. He was chairman of the appropri- ations committee of the House. President Taft came to Winona and gave that famous address that buried “Jim’s” political future beyond resur-| rection, giving the Democrats a most potent war! cryin the next campaign.’ \ It is hardly likely that Senator McCumber or) his friends are going to lean wholly on such slen- der reeds as committee assignments in the next campaign. 1 ' i CANNOT TAX BACHELORS \ Legislation aimed to drive bachelors into matri-| mony has proved futile. Special taxes imposed; in some states do not seem to have increased| Cupid’s batting averages. Now comes the Mon- tana supreme court and rules that the law im- posing a poll tax on all males more than 21, years of age and not heads of families is unconstitu- tional. Confirmed bachelors in Montana are laughing up their sleeves. They are boasting of immunity from the shafts of Cupid or from the sting of special taxes. It is impossible to legislate those into matrimony who care not for its blessings, its trials or tribulations. » Strictly class legislation usually fails.of its ob- jective. Experience shows that when legislators try to force Utopia,-they merely postpone a few aeons the day of the millenium. WEATHERS THE STORM R. G.. Dun & Co., cr estigators, announce iffutes°in 1921 totaled 19,652. That is a big death list. But it shouldn’t scare any one into the cyclone cellar. In 1915 there were 20,596 failures. Nearly 2,000,000 firms were. doing business in America in 1921. Failures were only about lin 100. A cyclone is not alarming when it leaves 99 trees standing for every one it tears down in the forest. More thought to businesses that don’t fail. Less HORSES The country now has about 20,200,000 horses, compared with 13,537,000 in 1900. That is how the auto is ‘making. the horse pass out. Horses have practically ‘disappeared from. city streets. Apparently, though, they’ve just moved to the farm, where they’re plugging away same as ever. “Like most new things, the auto merely has added to our list of con¥enience, instead of driv- ing out something already established, to’ make room for itself.

They are presented here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day. NORTH DAKOTA WRONG AGAIN The Supreme Court re lo special excise tax which North Dako! ed-oh railways pro- portioned to: their mileage within that State of erratic notions. “An excise tax like that could exclude railways from any State or be used to compel conformity,,to State rate regulation. Since the power to tax is the power to destroy, it follows that competition among the States to over- tax the railways could ruin them, and. national commerce with them. That is no idle theory. It is exemplified by the argument on behalf of all States can fix intrastate rates at will, without reference to the orders of the Interstate Com- merce Commission that the States shall not make Several States have discriminated in the man- ner of North Dakota in the matter of rates, and than once declared unlawful. . Only those who think it in the public interest that the railways should be ruined can approve unlimited taxation of them, or confiscation of their earnings by statutes or orders cf commissions that commerce shall be carried below cost of transportation. The bills pending in Congress wetlld allow the regula- tion of rates down to the limit. of confiscation.) There the courts wouid intervene, and it is argu- tervention. But public opinion is ripening in sup- port of the Transportation act, which allows a profit if it can be earned and which would disal- sonable profits. There is no greater stimulus to profits in general than the making of profits by the railways. The rehabilitation in that manner of the credit of some twenty billions of capital in- vestment would start a buying movement among related industries which would reduce unemploy- ment by enlarging wage payments.—New York HE BISMARCK TRIBUNE : the States before the Sypreme Court that the/ low compulsory costs that would prevent such rea.)
