BUSINESS METHODS Government in business has been well chgracterized by Herbert Hoover as a clumsy operation. In speaking before the United States Chamber of Cothmerce at Cleveland, he sums up in one paragraph just why government usually fails when it attempts to enter business for profit. “Legislative action,” he s: “is always clumsy —it is Neapable of adjustment to shifting needs. It often produces new. economic currents more abusive than those intended to be cured. Government too often becomes the persecutor instead of the regulator.” He draws a distinct line, however, admonopolistic nature and one that is nature. =: Jn concluding his address he says; _ “The government can best contribute through stimula- tion of and cooperation with voluntary forces in our national life; for we thus preserve the foundations upon which we have progressed so far—the initiative of our people: With vision and devotion these voluntary forces can accomplish more for America than any spread of the hand of govern- ment.” Here in North Dakota where governmental paternalism and. interference in a highly competitive business have ru riot the people can well heed the warning of Secretary Hoover. His definition of the true functions of government in veapect to trade and commerce generally is sound. between business of strictly competitive in WELFARE OF ALL FIRST President Coolidge in vetoing the Burs fMereased pension appropriations iby dollars put in a sentence a great truth: “The advantage of a class can not be greater than the welfare of the nation.” % More of this mental attitude in framing legislation. is the imperative need of the day. In his first veto message fo Congress the President also says: £ an bill which fifty-eight million = “The need for economy in public expenditure at the pres- ent time cannot be over-estimated. I am for economy. I am y against every unnece payers.” « This spirit reflected in officials of every political sub- Givision of the nation would reduce the excessive cost of government. § The Coolidge firmness in handling economic problems is Bhat the nation most needs in the pr payment of the money of tax- SPORT .. President Coolidge backs plan by which Uncle Sam would Belp make outdoor recreations available for the poor as well as the rich. This is a program about as big as the sun’s orbit. But it is sound in principle. Golf, for example, is becoming the second national sport, Fanking in popularity below baseball. But golf is usually a rich man’s game. The poor cannot afford membership in a club. And municipal golf courses are few and crowded. The public needs more playgrounds, for grownups as well as chil- dren, and they should be provided as a health investment by the government. IDLING In 1818 Thomas Jefferson wrote to a friend: “A great obstacle to good’education is the inordinate passion prevalent for novels and the time lost in that reading which should be instructively employed.” Jefferson was wise, but in this he didn’t get to the roots. ‘The reason people shun books of learning is because they’re usually hard to read and as uninteresting as dust. Wells and Thomsen and Van Loon, by popularizing history and science, have recently demonstrated that people will “eat up” knowledge if presented interestingly. INDIANS Discovery of those three ancient skeletons in California brings forth the scientific claim that there were only about 500,000 Indians in the United States and Canada when the white man arrived. i “They were scattered, and lifé was so easy they did not have to think,” comments P. M. Rea, natural historian. Thinking is very hard work for most people. Their brains would never function except by necessity. That’s why na- ‘ure gives us so many complex problems to solve—she’s trv ing to make us think. So far, she’s only farily successful. { HANDICAP Handicaps are largely imaginary. We realize this when- ever we see a man who has battled and overcome exception- ally ‘difficult handicaps of body, opportunity or circum- stances. : - Nelson L.

They are pi mted here in order that our readers may have both sides of important issues which are being discussed in the prese of the day. IS CENTRALIZATION OVERDONE? We heard of 2 farmer the other day who shipped a calf to market, and in return for his animal got a Li for the excess cost ef trans- portation and marketing over what the calf brought when sold. It cost that mer, if the tale be true, not only iis time and feed and investment to bring calf tu the market, but an actual cash addition out of his pocket. And he got nothing atall. One wonders, when such stories come to light, whether the boasted efficiency of our famous meat pack ing industry “it uses everythin but the gqueal” —has not perh. has made and more improved of the pa the meat sup t manufacturing brought about high! } nitation; that it has prevented te, und probably that it has ex- panded the farmers’ market. But there can be no queftion that it ha added to meat costs a ve ge burden of transportation expense. Is not some, at least, of this a needless burden on the consumer and pro- ducer alike? Grant that a local packing plant. supplying only the needs of its own community and drawing its supply only from the farms of that communi could not be operated so cheaply, nor with such thorough elimination of te as the huge plant in Chicago. Nevertheless it wou'd have in {ts favor elimination of the very con- siderable item of freight charges into Chicago of the stock on the hoof, and of shipping the finished product back to the consumer. The farmer who can take his calf to a nearby town in his wagon and sell it gets at least something out of it, if there is any market at all. The price may be less than the Chicago price —)ut he puts the transportation charge in | his pocket. Centr ion undoubtedly pro- motes efficiency — to a certain point. But there is such a thing as too much of it.— Madison State Jour- nal, MacDONALD ON CLOTHES Seldom has an English prime minister furnished the world so much food for thought on non- political matters ag Ramsay Mac- Donald. He has just given us his views on dr and coming from the spokesn of the laboring are calculated to demagogue and is notions of the best approach to the confidence and respect of the workers. The tradi- tional method has been to don dir linen, trousers that bag at the knees, und a tattered hat. It has ‘been assumed that the.men of the mines. and shops would be attracted to slovenly garb. The fact that this assumption has not been compli- mentary to the intelligence or taste of men who toil has not occurred tc the demagogue. Now comes MacDonald with the observation that ‘he has known “persons who showed their vanil by the clumsiness of their cloth: Having shown that a labor pre may speak the language of ‘ature and follow the methods of polite society he now impliés that a Jeader of labor may observe good taste in dress without com- promising his principles. American demagogues may have to revise their methods of approach to “the great unwashed.”—New York Evening World. ; SHOWS LESS 3 = , Atlanta, May 8—The the examination of 1465 school chil- dren in four prosperous farming counties of Minnesota show that only little over ten percent of these children showed positive signs . of tuberculosis infection. This state- ment made by Dr. S. later, sup- erintendent of the Southwestern Minnesota Sanatorium at Worthing- ton, Minn., is, as pointed out by him, in sharp contrast with the results obtained by investigators in large cities where as many as 98 percent of the children examined were found to be infected. * Of 561 children who gave no his- tory of exposure -to tuberculosi only 30° or five percent gave a. posi: tive reaction. to theVon Pirquet test for tuberculosis infection, In a group of 848, where a history of tuberculosis contact. or exposure was ‘doubtful, eight percent gave a positive reaction,.. But .in a ,group of. 64, where there was a, positive history of exposure to tuberculosis in the, fimfly, 52 or 81 percent re- sponded to the tests for tuberculosis infection. “This emphasizes,” says Dgetor Slater, “the fact that it is practica’ impossible for a child to Tivg in a home where there is an opén case without becoming infect- ed, especially where the patient h not ingtructed how to take Proper precdutions to prevent the spread of infegtion.” results of WEAK: LUNGS W, Wyatt, Legton, Mo., ing @ bad cage of Jung trout S:, {Hav pounds in 6 months,.

His arguments were hotly answer- ed by M. W. Murphy-and W. H. Shure, the latter representing the cityyof Fargo. Ae point much discussed was the election of April, 1923, when the dis- solution of North Fargo was voted. | Richardson said the polJs were open, by mistake, from one to seven p, m. instead of from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. as required by law. He suggested the court take steps to send the case back to district court with direction which, would result in a new dissolution election. 4 Both Mr, Murphy and Mr. Shure guments but to any suggestion for delay.

Mr, Murphy asserted Richardson had,go standing in the court. “If they, have anything they want to Qresent to this court, let them go back to the district court first,” he declared, “Not that I want. to sug- gest*any delay—for it is of greatest importance to settle this now.” * Murphy denied the so-called farce noon hour, asserting it was regularly | tried and Richardson and all others | had: due notice.

You did not state when you are} coming, consequently I am writing te say that Leslie is called to New York this evening to welcome her parents home. You remember her younger sister, Alice? | She is going to marry that guy that was so veet on Leslie. 1 wish him joy with her, but if he was fond ,of Leslie I can’t understand why he could transfer his affections to that ambitious, self-centered, egotistical little mortal, Between you und me I bet she roped him in. She is sure te be one of those managing women, and I pity Whitney from the bottom of my heart, Of course I haven't said anything of this to Leslie, for I am sure she admires her sister very much, I'll bet, however, in the future she will be happier if she doesn’t see much of the Whitneys. Leslie hopes that you will not come to us until after she ‘has re turned from New York. She won't be there but tWo or three days, however. In the meantime my moth- er is coming over. She will not stay able to find her a small apartment, one that Leslie’s. mother occupied when. she was here. ‘ I don’t know how long will stay, but she is bringing her mother nurse and companion with her, and ‘L fancy there will be many that she will wish to be alone.
