One of his opponents’ chief arguments was that, if Copernicus were correct, a stone dropped from a tower would fall quite a distance away from the tower in- stead of at the base of the tower. ‘Copernicus patiently explained that_the stone, being a part of the earth, naturally was moving along with the eartir and thereforé remained close to the tower even while falling. His opponents then pointed out that a stone, dropped from un fast-moving ship, would hit the water at some distance behind the ship instead of dropping “straight down” the side. Copernicus answered that the stone was a part of the earth but not a part of the ship, so it dropped in a straight line down toward the center of the earth instead of trying to keep up with the moving ship. So the arguments continued. After the lapse of more than four centuries, the thing impressing us most is the fact that it was not until Copernicus had been dead 100 years that the experiment actually was tried, of dropping the stone from a tower, to check up his theory. If Copernicus were living today and advancing such a theory, it wouldn’t be five minutes until some one would be hot-footing out to find a tower and learn whether he was right or wrong. y a This is one of the most remarkable characteristics of our’ generation. New ideas and dev may be scoffed at, but usually they are given a trial to learn the truth. In former centuries, people were so reluctant to accept a new sugges- tion, disrupting the old and established state of affairs, that it was next to impossible to get a try-out. This explains why the world in the last 100 years has made more progress than in the 100 generations before. DETROIT YOUR EXPEN -The cost of living now is about.65 per cent higher than when the war started in 1914. This is the latest estimate by National Industrial Conference Board. It arrives at its tigure by striking an average, for the whole country. In some communities, cost of living is higher. Other places, it’s lower. Also keep in mind that the 65 per cent figure is for a wage-earner with five in family. . In simpler terms, it now costs $1.65 to buy what cost $1 before the war. Also, a man must make $1.65 now to have an income equivalent to what $1 was in pre-war day: In- teresting, for the individual to. figure up and find how his in- come compares with “what should Be,” on this basis. Do you live on a budget systeni—divide your income in advance, allowing so much for rent, so much for food, and so on? Here are the N. I. C. Board’s figures showing how spending should be scientifically divided. : Out of a $10 bill, the Board figures $4.31 for food; $1.77 for rent or other shelter, $1.32 for clothing, 56 cents for fuel and light, $2.04 for “sundries.” These figures cover only the income actually spent. They do not include the 10 or 20 per cent which experts say must be saved to provide-properly for old age and success. ‘ Consolation: While the Board reports that it now takes $1.65 to buy what cost $1 before the war, an outlay of $2:05 was required in purchasing the same stuff at the price peak in July, 1920. ‘ / BABY BOOK Ewenty-five years ago, Dr. Luther Emmet Holt wrote a book about the care and feeding of children. A publisher tooka chance on it and, since then, the book has been trans- lated into 12 languages. In all these years, it has out-sold any book of fiction. , Tt gives us great pleasure, to find that a useful best- seller has out-sold fiction books which at their best are men- tal narcotics or drugs. The most hopeful tendency of our generation is its intense care of the rising generation which will inherit the problems our generation has failed to solve. . STUDY COLDS Medical scientists are concentrating now on “common colds.” Ten thousand students are working on this matter. If they find a way to eliminate the “colds” that wreck peo- ple’s efficiency, they will do more for humanity than a cen- tury of the medical vaudeville directed at such subjects as rejuvenating worn-out old men. A “cold” is the most common “disease’”—and the cham- pion_wrecker of efficiency and personal comfort. OUTLOOK GOOD 4 : The railroads recently have been moving less freight thagsa-year ago. This isn’t anything to worry about. The fre’ ‘moveinent is at. least a sixth greater than at this timé in 1922.

FACING THE FACTS With the annual audit of the State Industries established dur- ing the Nonpartisan League regime at hand, North Dakota is again | called upon to face the facts and | consider what is to be the final } outcome of her venture into the | field of state socialism. Here are some of the facts: The total delinquent prin- cipal and interest of the Farm Loan Department of the Bank orth Dakota amounted to , 1923. 55.79 is this amount delinquent prin est on loans made in Series “A'. It is shown that 200 of 687 loans in Series “A”, which embraces most all of the loans made during the Nonpartisan Administration, are delinquent Woth as to principal and inter- ost. The State probably will have to take over the land on which the 209 loans were made. The audit of the Drake Flour Mill shows that the deficit has increased to $89,678.11, while the book value of the mill fs only $23,111.61. As to the Mill and Elevator i Grand Forks .the statement of Mr. Cc. KE. Austin, manager, in a recent speech before the Fargo Commons Club is illuminating. He says: Up to Aug. 1, 1923, we had st $108,000. From Aug. 1, to . 1, we made a profit of | $63,000. i But note how this profit fs fig- ured. Let Mr. Austin explain it: This profit is figured on the basis that the State hag a $3,- 000.000 investment in this Mill and Elevator. It has outstand- ing bonds of that amount, drawing interest of $180,000 per year. That is a_ fixed charge which the State must meet, even though we turned the key in the door and did not turn out a barrel of flour. J figure that if we make any part of that 180,000 over and above operating costs we have made just that much for the State. All of which is true, but it nev- ertheless remains that the State is being called wpon to pay out thou- sandy of dollars every year to meet the interest on the investment The money the State pays ont over and above what the Mill and Elevator might actually make through operation, must be raised by taxation. One of the principal factors giv- en by the accountant, who exam- ined the Drake Mill, for the in-} creased .difficulties of the mill, is) that of competition by the Grand Forks Here we have the State operating’ two mills, the one knifing the other. | And that is not all. Recently one of the large milling concerns of Minneapolis, which" has several thills locatéd"in the'State; ordered! three of them closed, the president of the milling company issuing a statement saying that it was im- possible to compete with the Grand Forks Mill because of the nature of the competition., If that state-| nent is a correct’ one, “then we have the pecuHar situation existing in North Dakota: where the State owned Grand Forks Mill is being operated ' to “the ‘serious injury: of another State owned mill, and like-| wise is driving out of the’State’pri-| vate mills whtch have heen paying taxes and which have been assets to the *communities in which they are located. Even though the State forecloses on these 200 loans ‘of Series “A” on which neither principal nor in- terest ‘have ‘been paid, it can only take back the land ‘which may or may not be worth the face of the loan, and it must make up the de- ficit through taxation. . Of course, it is true that much cf the principal and interest under the total delinquency Of $429,507.27 probably will be paid. Some of the loans have beeh made to legitimate farmersewho have been caught by the ‘agricultural - depression, and not to “deserving Nompartisans” as was so frequently the case under Nonpartisan rule. But the °200 loans in Series “A” on which the State does not expect to realize, are sufficient to point a lessdn. , Even though the. State shouid | sell the Drake .Mill, a huge deficit will have to be paid through tax- ation. f Even though the Grand Forks; Mill continues to show anyoperat-j ing profit, it must show consider- able more than .just.@u operating profit before it can ‘be considered an asset to, the State. It™must make enough to carry the interest and reduce some of the principal, | or thousands wpon thousands , of dollars will have to be levied from propetty owners to meet ‘the bond payinents. There is perhaps no wse now to philosophize ‘upon tlie question of state socialism, bétause we have it) with us and mutt géttle the ‘prob- len sémeway; somehow. But the prospéct is not a pleasing one — Fargo Forum. - DODGING A RESPONSIBILITY Pasa 2) It ig difficult to think of Secre- tary Denby as dishonest, or as a “grafter,” but he Yid~ avoid a re- sponsibility. which was laid upon him by his office, and he avoided it ina way that makes the. situa- tion almost as serious for ‘him as it ia for Mr. Fall. te a Secrétary Denby’s defense before the investigating committee of the Senate. was that the leases tliat de- veloped. the of] scandal were “to technical” for him. .
