THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER (Established 1873) THE ELECTORAL MANDATE Just what sort of a mandate the people of North Dakota ve Arthur G. Sorlie is open to question. Mr. Sorlie be- lieves the people told him to run the mill and elevator and Benk of North Dakota. At the same time the people elected George Shafer and Joseph A. Kitchen, who are the majority on the Industrial Commission which the law says shall run the industries. Mr. Sorlie said in Bismarck he would broaden the function of the bank, but Mr. Kitchen and Mr. Shafer were pledged to keep its activities restricted. Con- tending factions also divided control of the legislature. It was a result that might be expected without a defl- cleavage defined for the average voter, who has’nt t'me to figure out all the niceties involved in the definition of position by the League and Independents. The majority of the Nonpartisans presumably are for lots of state indus- s-— their platform said so. Most of the Independents presumably are against state industries, although their pletform expressed opposition only in the broad and vague te And the voters chose a little bit of both, the posi- ticns, from a broad point of view which must be taken by the gverag: voter, appear to him to be much the same.

The time d when a prayer for failure of the opposite faction, is handling the taxpayers’ money, is offered up im- iy after election. Sorlie has been inclined at times to act independ- rt Ffis veeord of success in business life would indicate he has the ability to do so. He has been quoted as saying a he bh. . so political ambition and that one term as Governor is enough. I he would take this attitude and put his best into ihe job without listening to political advice he might do the state a iot of good. Probably so much good that the voters weld ciemand his reelection. se & * But whether Mr. Sorlie makes a success of the mill and elevator, or does noi, will not be the big question in the next campaign. Mr. Sorlie can’t commit the majority ot the leaders of his faction to a half-way policy on public owne p. The Independents have led in their effort to dodge the question. The people are entitled in the next campaign to have an opportunity to choose between a faction that announces it wants to scrap the program and doesn’* want office if the people don’t want the program scrapped ; and they are entitled to vote on the other hand for a fac- tion that wants to keep the present industries and start some more. The question must not be whether or not the businesses pay —but whether they are right in principle. LaFcllette’s public ownership program was repudiated in North Dakota. There is reason to believe the state pro- gram would be, if the voters were given a chance to express themselves at a special election. = * * be before the legislature. Their | There will be attempts to minimize | the losses by the League, and attempts to exaggerate them cir opponents. The people are entitled to a policy that makes these industries stand on their own sudit reports which show clearly their standing on the same basis as pri- vate industries. The losses ought not to be hidden through | diversion into various channels by clever accounting. The taxes lost to the state ought to be added to the financ repcrt of the mill and elevator. That is simply honesty in, The legislature will be presented with the problem of finding new funds for the industries. And the legislature ought to be honest enough to get the by direct taxation, and not by pilfering the tax from the Bank of North Dakota. The industries will Josses now are heavy. When Mr. Sorlie takes his office he may well consider the vote on the tax reduction bill. It failed by a small vote, perhaps the people still have faith in representative gov- ernment and expect their representatives to keep taxes down. The most potent reason, however, was the feeling that it would eliminate home rule from local taxing dis- tric!s. particularly country school distri and the fear upon the part of many that it would cripple the schools. The people don’t want their schools crippled, but the pow- erful protest vote shows they are tired of seeing money wasted either in governmental or school affairs, and the want lower taxes. The vote for the bill is as clear a man- date as the majority against the bill, and it ought to be heeded. : : North Dakota is a small state. Yet there are some vis- jonaries who would conduct its activities on the scale of the state of New York. LEGS VS. DOLLARS In an accident, Benjamin Warshofsky, 20, lost his left leg and the other was so badly smashed it’s useless. A jury awards him $60,000. But he, formerly strong and athletic, sits glumly at the window and says: “What do I care for a coupla dollars? They won’t give me back by legs.” i Money is not all, though most of us never realize it until we have lost health or become crippled. If we realized, the goal of our work would be health and sound bodies, rather than pay.

Their season has started. ‘A doctor writes, urging people to do away with the handkerchief and use, instead, squares of cheesecloth which can be burned later, along with germs. The use of the-handkerchief is the most unsanitary and unhealthful practice of civilized man. Going into the family wash, it is apt to spread its cargo lof germs. Few people boil clothes long enough to kill germs 'To kill the tuberculosis germ, for instance, requires as much jas 20 minutes of boiling. 5 | Cheesecloth is cheap. It’s easily burned.

Apparent- ly they got their popular name because they’re most preval- ent in cold weather. Above all, we should mark and remember this false notion —the popular saying, “Feed a cold and starve a fever.” This saying originated more than 2000 years ago when Hip- pocrates, the Greek “father of medicine,” said: “If we feed a cold, you will have to starve a fever.” Fime has twisted his words and thereby falsified their meaning.

In 31 years only seven boxes in the Golden Horseshoe have changed hands. In 1892 the 35 boxes in the charmed circle were sold for $30,000 each, but the purchasers paid an ad- ditional $30,000 tax to support the venture. The original holders drew lots for choice and J. P. Morgan won in. the draw. He selected Box 35, the one farthest from the stage. He was also seventh in the draw and took Box 31 as his second choice. However, some of the high-hats: were disappointed in the drawing gnd concessions had to be made. In the final alignment Cornelius Vanderbilt was jnstalled in Box 31.
