Workers in the field find more unanimity for Senator McCumber than for any other candidate on the Republican ticket. The danger of losing the services of a man who is rounding out twenty-four years in the United States with chairmanship of the finance commit- tee and a membership on the foreign relations com- mittee to his credit are assets unparalleled for a state of the size of North Dakota. President Harding secured 160,072 votes in the last general election, indicative that there are that many voters who favor a continuance of Republi- can principles. Senator McCumber is the mouth- piece cf the Harding administration in the senate. He is a factor in the important party conferences that fix policies and as long as he’is in the senate, he will not allow policies to be fixed that will be inimical to North Dakota or to the great agricul- tural states of the nation. Senator McCumber should receive relatively as emphatic an endorsement as did President Hard- ing. Opposed to Senator McCumber are men who do not represent the great principles of the Re- publican party in the sense that the senior senatcr does. There is no necessity to deal in personalities in this campaign. Lynn J. Frazicr and Ormsby Mc- Harg have a perfect right to run under the pri- mary system and they should be given a respectful hearing. Both of them honestly believe their plat- forms superior to that of Senator McCumber and under the primary law, as long as it is the law of the state, they have a right to be heard without having their motives impugned. All political fac- tions are prone to be dictatorial and sce in any statement or any candidacy that runs counter to their own selfish interests improper motives. Editor SCHOOL FOR TAX EXPERTS When the Standard Oil company was looking for | a good tax expert they came to North Dakota and took F, E. Packard. Now the Western Union has claimed George Wallace at a very good salary so much better than the state could pay, that he was willing to relinquish all connections with parties and cliques. While The Tribune opposed strenuously the po-| litical doctrines of Packard and Wallace, and had lambasted their affiliations from time to time,} both men know taxes from a practical and theor- etical standpoint. ‘Mr. Packard has been with the Standard Oil company for nearly two years and has made good. Affiliations with the Nonpartisan League have not militated against these men, who now get nice berths with two of the so-called “Big Busi- ness” corporations. | Sometimes it would seem that politicians paint | the picture of our state a little blacker than is necessary. It serves to make votes at home, but are all the things told about North Dakota else-| where believed? The appointments of Packard and Wallace would indicate that “Big Business” knowing the game of politics smiles and hires a good man regardless of his party affiliations. Mr. Wallace has an excellent record as state tax ioner or the Western Union would not have hired him. He made enemies in his official | position, but he was always a good citizen of Bis-| marck. He has taken an active part in church work and in the affairs of the Boy Scouts. In be- ing a big brother to many a Bismarck boy, he has served his city well. Whatever the opinion of his! politics, Mr. Wallace will go to his new field with many friends wishing him the best of success in} his new and broader field. At any rate, North Dakota is a good training school for tax experts. There is a great variety) of taxes here and the ability to collect them evi- dently wins laurels of a substantial nature from | the great corporations in othcr states. THREE ALTERNATIVES The Courier-News declares that Stegner’: platform of scrapping the industrial program is’ a “back to the woods” program. It is rather an| “out of the woods’ program and especially for those who are now being plunged deeper into ta bondage. Of course it is unreasonable to expect; the Courier-News to appreciate any program that does not endorse state socialism. The voters have two chances at state socialism this June.| One alternative has the sky as the limit when it itions—Killdeer Herald. | ‘ idrast THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE } & FRIDAY; ' JUNE! ‘2, 1922 comes to expenditures, the other alternative is to spend just enough ‘to “try ’er out.” A third alternative is to scrap the’mills, eleva- tors and turn the key on the ’ole blooming mess, as Johnny Bull would say. FIGURES THAT SHOULD JOLT Voters should be alive to the fact that unless ie steps are taken to curb the industrial pro- gram that taxes will continue to soar. Any pol- icy that promises to continue the state in these unprofitable ventures means more taxes. The politicians can sugar coat the pill as they will, but the bitter fact remains that taxes cannot be re- duced if the League is returned to power or if the Nestos administration insists upon carrying out virtually the same kind of a program. Figures issued by the Nestos administration on taxes should jolt the most indifferent tax payer. They should be read carefully by every voter in the state and then an emphatic protest by letter, by ballot or in any other manner should be registered against continuing in such ventures that can only in the end embarrass the state and increase the tax‘load of the people and retard progress toward normalcy. The following excerpt from the Duluth Herald is an excellent analysis of the tax situation in North Dakota. This paper cannot be charged with favoring especially any candidate in the pri- maries so the quotation is given herewith: “The state tax commissioner of North Dakota recently made an astounding report. “de stated that nearly one-half of all the taxes levied in the state of North Dakota during the thirty-one years of statehood "have been'levied in the past five years. “During the first twenty-six years of the state’s existence the total tax levies amounted to $194,- 299,005 and during ‘the last five $145,280,707. In other words during twenty-six years the tax bur- den averaged but $7,473,038 a year, put since 1917 it has jumped to an average of $29,056,141 a year. “For the year 1900 state and local tax levies totaled about $3,288,000, while the population was 319,146. Last year the levies had grown to $31,- 422,054, or about ten times as much as in 1900, while the population had but little more than doubled.” PARACHUTE Would you begin saving up to buy a flying ma- chine if you were sure you wouldn’t fall? Prob- ably. The airplane never will become generally used until it is made fool-proof, with most of its danger eliminated. Steps are being made in that direction. London experiments with this device: When a plane starts falling, the pilot jerks out a pocket para- chute. As the rush of wind opens it, the safety device lifts the pilot out of the falling machine and drops him gently to earth. The rest of us will wait until we have reason- able proof that the parachute will not fail to func- tion at the crucial moment. DRUGS Representative Watson of Pennsylvania, ficht- ing the drug traffic, estimates that a million Americans are drug fiends. Roughly, that would be one in 100, which sounds like an impossibly high figure, as it probably is. You can prove anything on paper. If all the statistics that are generally accepted as gospel truth really were true, most of us are crazy, dying of disease, with rates annually de- stroying national wealth faster than we create it. FLYING The first long-distance delivery of fresh farm products by airplane takes place in the east. Half a ton of fresh asparagus is ‘carried to the Boston market from New Jersey..farms. This little item,will seem more important a gen- eration from now when historians begin tracing the enormous airplan draffic in freight and ex- press, which is coming just as surely as death and taxes, tg “EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced in this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune.

Bismarck, N. D: The Tribune Company. i By H, H. Hobart ! Member, The Curtis Service Bureau I should first endeavor to establish the fact that I really wanted to en- gage in some branch of the building industry. When confronted with the need of making such a decision, how ions induced me to spend my vaca during my high school course wo) for some org: tion ‘engaged in the building industry. T would then know something about the kindof work those engaged in the building industry must do and would therefore be in a better positicn to ar- rive. at a definite conclusion. _ Having made my first decision 1 should take a course at some good college in architectural engineering. The knowledge which can be gained by taking such a course can. also be obtained outside of college. There are plenty of good correspondence courses on the subject. My preference would be the college education because the _ knowledge would not only be gained more readi- ly but my associations with fellow students weuld breaden me in many other ways.

My appetite was so poor I thought I was doing well to even eat a piece of toast and drink a cup of coffee, and I had a burning sensation in my stomach at times like I had swallowed a red hot coal. I finally got so weak and run down I was unable to leave the house, and was so nervous that it nearly ran me wild for someone to walk hea- {vy across the room. “Tanlac has now put me in fine shape. I have gained several pounds iin weight, and am in better health than I have been in years. I have my business going again, and am_ so grateful to Tanlac, I recommend it every chance I get.” Tanlac is sold by all druggists.
