The task dies down again, it has been noticeable that a wave of criticism cften has been started in certain quarters when some politi- eal question is at stake, or when some other interest is: threatened. : A move with some definiteness has been made in the. offer of the city commission. The commission will of course ke supported in a policy intended to prevent a situation arising in which an exorbitant price would be paid for the plant. The City of Bismarck is not engaged in confiscating private property; nor is its business to give away money. Now that a discussion of the problem-has been réopened it may as well be continued without interruption, except to keep the discussion from serving a political or private pur- pose for any individual or group. : “THE SUBMERGED DEFICIT” The postoffice department sustained a loss during the Jast year of more than $16.000,000, it is charged by General | Dawes of “Hell and Maria” and budget. force. The figures are not those ofthe postoffice department. The report of that department was not, the complaint termed, in “under- Standable business ianguage.” A Chicago‘ business man aided General Dawes in balancing the report of the depart- ment and the deficit figure was arrived at. k , As a result a group of Chicago business men in a lunch- éon club meeting adopted a resolution asking the Postmaster- General to render reports in (language that should clearly explain the situation in the department. = The complaint voiced in this instance has often been raised in the consideration of government business of any kind, from the national bureaus. to municipal enterprises The manager of every private business knows that he mus! report the exact situation to his-baard of directors, and to} the stcckholders. But without so stern a check in many. public enterprises the tendency is to go into generalities in reports, to make the reports as ‘favorable as possible even though a distorted balancé sheet may result. “There ought not. to -be any quarrel over the: financial status of any public enterprise, or any division of the gov- &mnment. An understandable report’ ought to be issued, and # ought to be specific and correct. - ee dee F EXPERTS © < ets % Frank Laudenberger decided to save money by pulling iis own teeth. .They bury him at Columbia, Pa,, dead from blood poisoning.

THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. EDITORIAL REVIEW | Comments reproduced in: this column may or may not express the opinion of The Tribune, They are presented here ir order that our readers may have bosh ‘sides of important issues which are being discussed in the press of the day, LIMITING WHEAT PRODUCTION ; A Washington Ietter/;saya_ that | Congressman Young, of’ North Da- | lkota, ha8\ prepared an article} which is to™be published in an| early issue of Farm Stock and Home in which he advocates the! | organized reduction of wheat. acre: | jage as a means of regulating the price. The essential feature of the | jplan as outlined is the creation of la federal government organization | | which shall operate as a market- ing agency, and which shall also | secure from farmers pledges to; reduce their wheat acreage by 25 | \per cent, the purpose being to re- | duce the wheat production of the }eountry to approximately 600,000,- 000 bushels which will suffice for domestic consymption, eliminating the several hundred million bush- | els which we usyally produce as a surplus. It is proposed that upon the receipt of such pledges from 75 per cent of the- growers, the’ bureau shall guarantee to them the price which is‘agreed on in! advance as satisfactory, leaving outside of the benefits to be ehjoy- ed the 25 per cent, who do not sign. ‘This, it is believed, will re- sult in the pledging of the. entire acreage.:, Various details, of the {plan.are worked out in, an inter-| jesting way-which it: would not be; proper to describe in-advance of; \the regular publication of thej article. Limitation of wheat acreage, we believe, would be an excellent thing, but limitation ‘by pledge ‘to |the government would invove so many hazardous features that .it will ‘be well ‘to proceed slowly in considering it. The first objection that presents itself is a very im- portant one, and to many it will of itself be conclusive. The plan! proposed would introduce into our; system an element not only foreign but utterly repugnant to it, name- ly, the right of the individual ‘to ise his own property in his own ;Way and according to his own {best judgment-of what is really useful and constructive. The American farmer has had a good} many things to contend with, but! more than any other -man -he. has preserved his personal independ-| ence. He ‘has been master’ of; his own acres, and he will not readily accustom himself to a system un- der which he is subjected to out- aide dictation as to what he shall plant, and where, and how much. In sections of Russia there, has been for many years a ‘community control over many of 'the.acts of the individual. The village council ' has decided on the entire farm pro- gram for the year, designating the number of acres which "peasants should plant, the kind: dfigrain, and prescribing all the details of the geason’s work. The-council decid- ed on the: proper .time to begin planting, the time to cut hay and to hharvest grain. ' It is said that the peasants were quite happy un- \der this. sort of arrangement. They jhad been born to it,and had grown up in it. To them it was natural; and normal. But to the American, jfarmer it is neither natural nor normal, And, aside from the prac-! |tical difficulties inherent in the, plan, such as the effect which the arbitrary reduction of wheat acre- age would have on other produc- ition, we believe that the unwill- jingness of the American farmer to accept a plan go foreign te all his! thought an dtraining would pre-| vent its adoption. ‘Wheat acreage, we believe, will When the in-; dividual becomes conyinced that! than he can use profitably for that age cf his own: accord. In most cases ‘this’ reduction ‘will be ac+ companied by, other changes for. which the farmer hag made ade- quate” preparation” Whether the} ig more or less, the individual will (find himself .pfoducing wheat re cheaply becélise his acre will Md | 000 Suit % In $50 if i | i | is i j | Mrs. Annabelle Scheer, above, | wife of Herbert Scheer. famous Chi cago chef who 1s suing Alfred B. | +Sonne, below. hotel employment \nead, for $50,000 ' Scheer chs' ges Sonne staged “petting parties”’ hear his. hotel THE WHISPER HEARD CMON FELLAS ) HERE'S A GUY WHAT'S GONNA Q\> ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Barton Roberts The next person, Dusty Coat. the! little fairy sandman, sent to Dream-| land was Jackie Jumping Mouse. * #7] I don’t know whether or not’ it's) because Jack jumps so much in the summe rtime that he gets “extra tired out, but anyway he: disappears. for months at a time in cold weather, and no doubt that’s the reason. 1 Nancy and Nick apd. the fairyman had a great time finding him, be-, cause, although there was enough: snow on the ground to show th tracks of a mosquito, Jack jumped so far at’one bound that he only3 touched the ground every ten feet He was. only,'as big as a mediui sized pickle, but he looked and acte exactly like ‘a*kangaroo. His tai was long and thin, and his hind: legs, like Kicky Kangaroo’s, must: have had regular springs in them. But they found Jackie at last, all huddled up in his house under the sugar maple, looking all blue and’ pinched with the cold.; ‘} i “Cub id,” he called when they rap- ped. © “Why, Jackie,” declared Nancy. “You look dreadful. You've got a dreadful cold.” “I dow,” blinked Jackie, is nose with a hanky he took out: of his coat pocket. Oh, yes, he had on a nice red coat that the Brown- ies had made him. “It's by tail,” he said. “I cav't get a coat tht will cover it and [ always catch cold in it. There’s “o hair on it adyway. Brrrrr.” And he shook like an egg-beater. “I thought it was about time I was|- declared Dusty |. coming aroun{.” Coat briskly, opening up his brown jbag-with deft fingers. “What have you got there?” piped Jackie curiously ,peering at it out) oh his watery eyes. ji'Magie—tmagic snuff, I call it,” an- swered Dusty Coat with a wink at the Twins. “It’s good for a cold.” “Oh Tet me have sub,, will you?” sniffled Jackie. “I—I’d take any- thing.” So Dusty Coat gave him a pinch and Jackie took a big sniff. “Soon he was snorjng soundly and the Twins tucked hir. into bed for the- winter, “Pleasant' dreams” © whispered Dusty Coat softly as they all tip- toed out. * (To be Continued) BALDWIN (Continued from page two) will spend the holiday season visit- ing friends and relatives, returning little jhome early in ihe year.
