There seems to no question but that the issue will meet with emphatic ‘approval as did the previous one, but indifference is a dan- \ ‘gerous thing and all those who desire a final solution of this vexacious issue should not fail to cast their vote. = The city because of this election does not propose to spend more money. . In fact some $30,000 has been elimin- ated in the distribution system as originally laid out. The sole purpose of the election is to change slightly the scheme ‘of financing the project made necessary because of the bond houses refusing to accept special assessment warrants until “formal transfer was made of-the water plant to the city and -assessment spread. This complication in financing delayed the transfer, but with the bond issue available attorneys for the city declare that but a short period will elaspe before the city can have funds to make payment upon the present plant. By issuing less in special assessment warrants and more in bonds, the city officials believe there will be a saving in interest., Attorncys for the city report that these bonds will =be sold as promises to that effect were made when Twin City bond houses advised a second election and a change in the ischeme of financing. Do your duty — get out and vote to settle the water controversy for all time. = Put it over by a bigger majority than the first election. It is not a political issue—not the, commission’s fight,, but =m matter that vitally affeéts every resident of Bismarck. & m1 There should be no slackers. ‘ THE.

The league may have for issues many plans of far-flung state action in the field of banking nd credit, but such’ proposals as have already arisen lack ‘popular appeal, are so visionary that they do not capture lid support even.among the leaguers in convention; and dt may’ be assumed that the voters of the state while they @re paying out hard money in taxes to support grandiose schemes which have not been successful, will be slow to leap ery tar into new fields in the immediate future.

D. Our book | THE REMITTANCE Divisi CONTROLLED SOTHING P, America’s work in Russia cleaned ‘ap one of the great plague spots of the world, according to Col. William N. Haskell, director of the Russian Unit of the American Relief Admin- istration, who landed recently in New York with the last of the Americans who hed been with him in Moscow. i “Russia, when we went in, was more than a famine country,” he said. “It was a disease focus. Famine could have been confined/to Russia,’ but typhus and cholera know no man-made boundaries. 1 am not. sure that the medical work accomplished by the American Re- lief Administration has not saved even more lives than the feeding of more than ‘ten million Russians. “Aside from vast areas whel there was actual starvation and th prompt arrival of American food saved- the population from being wiped out, diseases borne by refu- gees fleeing from famine districts had spread throughout the country. Hospitals were overcrowded, their supplies and equipment almost. nil because of years of war; water sup- broken. -down,- and everything dis- organized. . Every filthy freight car, crowded with refugees, was a breed- ing place for. typhus-bearing ver- min.

And Russia was threat- ening her ‘neighbors, with contagi “When Gorky and the patriarch, Tikhon appealed to the world for aid in the summer of 1921, and Her- bert Hoover offered through the American ‘Relief Administration to feed a°million Russian’ children, we never dreamed that -before we fin- ished America would jbe called gipon to feed nearly ten and @ half million children and adults, And even then 4oR— CYRIL J.C QUINN of SAGINAW ASST.

That was in Aug- ust, 1922, And even that doesn’t include thousdnds of people kept alive that month by A. R. A. food packages .bought by relatives and friends or philanthropic persons in merica.
