France, long torn by socialist and communist agitation, has succumbed to the parliamentary power of the radicals. Like England, the nation will enter upon a great experiment, new type of government perhaps, certainly under leaders with a viewpoint not experienced in years gone by. Poincare was voted out of office chiefly by the French peasants and residents of smaller towns. The cosmopolitan Paris district, living in an atmosphere which keeps,the ques- tion of international relations before the residents at all times, voted with him. Only the most astute French minds, perhaps, could explain the cause of the downfall. It may have been the heavy taxes imposed in order to save the na- tion’s finances. Or the downfall of the Poincare ministry tay have been the result of a general feeling of help ness and despair among the people in ordinary walks of li who are burdened with the war’s disastrous effects, who feel the pinch on their pocketbooks, and who have grasped for something different, hoping that it may better their lot. ; Poincare led France for five years. Dauntless, imbued With the idea that France must be made safe from attack, determined that Germany should take a part of the load of war burdens from France, he carried out a vigorous foreign policy. He had not succeeded in everything; there is no cer- tainty that he would have succeeded. For as long as France was forced to carry the load of a great army and continued great military expenses, there was little hope that indebted- ness could be reduced through internal tax payments. ‘The Poincare policies had often come in conflict with the beliefs of liberal minded people the world over, who saw in rance’s determined stand an obstacle to the reconstruction of Europe. Yet, it may be said that Poincare was moved by a strong nationalism, an intense patriotism and a laudable ambition to cause Germany to repay at least some of the deme done to France. _-~What of the future? The radical government of France may ‘e not so radical as expected. It may, like the Mac- Done'd government in Great Britain, find that policies of sc-ial’sm cannot be put into effect overnight without bring- ing '‘d struction, and therefore pursue a moderate course.; There is hope that the new government may feel more friendly to the Dawes reparation plan than did the Poincare ministry, that it may join other nations in a genuine effort! to rehabilitate Germany and therefore stabilize conditions throughout Europe. *APER | colle , continental traveler by rail to form EDITORIAL REVIEW Comments reproduced im this column may or may not express the opinion of The Jbune. oy are presented here in order that e both sides issues which are in the press of our readers ma; of import the da; THE WORST FOOT FOREMOST To get the most favorable opin- fon of a city listen to the speech of a representative urging some, national tion to hold its convention there.

It fs worth all the time that can be given it.—Cleveland Plain Deal- Under Floor of - Dealer’s Garage Grass Valley, California, May 15.— When Atherton B. Snyder started to exeavate for an underground gaso- line tank in his garage here, he struck gold-bearing ore a few feet below the surface. Mr. Snyder had the ore assayed and found that it contained a «ins erable quantity of gold. He kept go- ing deeper and getting more gold and reported to the Chester N, Wea- ver Company, Studebaker distribu- tors at San co, that between and mining In a few rane selling Studebaker ca gold, he had his hands full. weeks, as the shaft sunk deeper,. his garage was full, too—full from the excavation. The miners were bringing up so much ore that the Snyder service departinent was getting too crowded for comfort. By that time, however, he had taken enough money out of the mine to pay for the garage, of dirt The radical victory in France, like that of England, ap- pears at first glance to be the product of distressed condi- tions which the most brilliant minds have been unable to correct. The radical government of France may, like that of ‘England, find itself unable to bring the good times the voters hoped for. It may before it is in office a great while find itself, like the radical government of England, attacked by the radicals themselves, equivocating, hesitating, vainly searching for some way to do better than its predecessors. ee | THE HOME BUILDERS AGAIN | Frequent reiteration of the disastrous experience of North Dakota state industries may become wearisome to: newspaper readers. Yet in each new phase of the discussion of the situation there may come food for thought and ma- terial for discussion. Too many have perhaps regarded the Home Building Association as a closed book, because the legislature voted it out of existence. But, as shown in The Tribune yesterday, the taxpayers now are digging up $60,000 a year for four years, and probably will have to continue to dig up an equal sum for two or three years more, to clean up the mess. The amount of money lost in this small enterprise is not appalling, except as one views the ratio of the loss to the total building operations. But the state failed in this busi- ness, as it has failed in other business, as other states have failed in business. The amount of money the taxpayers must pay for the folly of this enterprise cannot be too strongly held before them, for it rests with the taxpayers and voters of the state to decide whether or not they shall profit by the experience of the past and avoid the pitfalls of state indus- trialism in the future. TROUBLES $ In solving one problem, we generally create several new ones. 5 j The problem of bad roads is fairly well solved. At least, a good start has been made. One result is that there are} 16,000 miles of main highways east of the Mississippi alone. and the cost of keeping these clear of snow is terrific. It éosts Connecticut, for instance, $111 a mile to remove snow from its roads in one winter. Snow removal is just one of tmany problems created by “solving” the problem of roads. ef 2. , ¥ FUTILE 4s’ Tt'is phenomenal, the vast amount of time and brains that are devoted to futile pursuits. i.

Sells Underground Rights But the congested condition could not continue. It reached a_ point where Snyder had to give up the mine or give up the garage. Since so many Studebakers were being sold in Grass Valley, Mr. Snyder began to do some figuring. Studebaker had been doing busi- ness for 72 years, he knew, while his gold mine might “peter out” any day, He deliberated on the problem for a short time and decided to close up his gold mine and stick to his Studebakers. He closed up the shaft leading in- to the garage and sold the under- ground rights to a gold mining com- pany which is now working under- neath the surface of the garage. But Mr. Snyder stipplated in his con- tract that the mining operations were not to interfere with his garage bus- iness. PIE ba) When asked if he didn’t have dif- ficulty making up his mind to aban- don the gold mine, Mr. Snyder seid: “Not much. Why bother with a gold mine when you've such a sub- stantial business as the contract for Studebaker? A gold mine is a fickle thing, uncertain at best, liable to quit on. you time. But selling Stude- bakers is a sure thing. I'll keep my garage.” And he has.

Bureau trainees at the Unive North Dakota furnishes striking example of the achieved by the disabled soldiers wherever they are studying. The average grade attained by all stu- rans ity of another success to 1922 was 82,46 percent. The average standing of all fraternity men during the same period was: 81.92 percent. for-the first semester of the current year was 82 percent, or only less than half a point below the univer- sity average for a period of years. When it is remembered that many of these men were out of school for years, that many of them some of the usual university en- cies they have been obliged to over- come, and that they, have labored under the handicap of physical dis; abilities, their scholastic record is remarkable. These twenty-three ex-service men participated freely in activities out- side the class-room and won their full share of recognition. One was a member of the varsity debate team and took part in all contests besides being secretary of the State Ora- torical League; another was a mem- ber of the Student Court; one was assistant editor of the ‘1925 Da- cotah,” the University annual; while another acted as an instructor in Manual Arts and Scandinavian. They were elected to sixteen mem; berships in national Greek letter fraternities and five local Greek let- ter fraternities. They held seven prominent places in athletics, six in literary societies, two in musical or- ganizations, fifteen in miscellancous clubs and societies. Nine were mem- bers of regular fraternal orders. All this foreshadows active par- ticipation in the social life and which they are to carry on in the pursuit of their chosen professions.

The Ford Motor:Company, in its latest financial report, reveals that its earnings were at least 82 million dollars dur- ing the 12 months ended Feb. 29. This is equivalent to 4 per cent interest on more than two billion dollars—which figure may not be far from the real total of the Ford fortune, on the basis of earning power. * * * about Along this line, you can do some interesting figuring about yourself. Take your income for a year. Multiply it by 25, and you have the amount you are really “worth.” Income (salary, wages, etc.) is to the individual what interest is to money in the bank or invested in bonds. For ‘instance, a man able to earn $4000 a year is in prac- | tically the same boat as the man with a fortune of $100,000 earning 4 per cent interest. (Except that one works for his money, while the other has his money work for him.) ‘ * * The Ford Motor Company lists its combined assets as worth over 568 million dollars, compared with about 400 millions two years ago. : Such a sum is beyond the imagination of most of us. It is tremendously large.. And yet the elder John D. Rockefeller, according ‘to ‘some estimates,, has given away nearly that much for education, science, charity and so on. * * * Rich men, like Ford and Rockefeller and Mellon, are un- able to figure exactly what they are worth.
