Already one bill is suggested to do away with the printing of delinquent tax notic Two years after the county legal newspaper suggested the legislature correct what the newspapers themselves considered an overcharge on one item — to inefficiency in drawing a pre- vious bill in the legislature—several members repaid this honest effort by seeking to cut still further the charges for legal printing. In the past the country newspapers have had spokes- men in the legislative lobbies, but too often they have stressed the value of these papers to the political factions and have not stressed sufficiently the business side of public printing. The publicity given to public business through legal printing is about the cheapest investment made by the taxpayers of the state. Any one experienced in govern- mental affairs knows the insufficient, lazy, sluggish, corrupt office holder fears “pitiless publicity’ more than he fears the penitentiary. The honest official welcomes publicity. The requirement to publish proceedings of official boards, treasurers’ reports and similar publications is the best guar- antee the taxpayers have against looting of the public treas- ury. It is the best preventive of excessive salaries and un- necessary jobs loaded on taxpayers. It requires the public official to keep his accounts in order, so he may show them to the public. To do away with printing delinquent tax notices would offer the way for little combines, for collusion and fraud. Then, too, pride which causes a man to hesitate to see his name in print as a delinquent taxpayer often is 4 greater incentive to pay tuxes than avoidance of penalty. The country newspapers have ample ground for demand- ing fair compensation for legal printing, and for demanding that public busin do not need to beeome mendicants or political pap-seekers in order to press home their case. li) passing, however, the political side of the case might noted. When the political strife was bitterest in this atc, cach faction loaded praises on their respective coun- newspapers, while the weekly newspaper editors, con- wed their course was for the best interests of the state, en fought until they fought themselves out of existence heeause they departed from the true purpose of a newspaper. As soon as the heat of battle cleared, however, there were politicians of both sides ready to slash the throats of these Li country newspapers. aders on the Independent side in the legislature two years ago were ready to do this and par- tially succeeded. At that time the prediction was made that the Independent cause would suffer. It did suffer, be- cause in the last primary and fall campaign the Independ- ent weekly newspapers of the state did not support their candidates as whole-heartedly as in the past. The poli had bitten the hand that was feeding them. And the In- dependents lost power. The warfare over such printing touches the city daily newspapers of the state rather lightly. They have a more diversified busines The Tribune, therefore, is able and glad to bespeak the cause of the country weeklies before the legislature, and to urge that they be given a fair deal all along the line. MATTER OF TIME Heating your home by electricity will be only a matter of time, a Westinghouse official predicts. It is also a matter of cost. Cheap electricity will be available later. Coal will be burned at the mines and cenverted into electrical power that will be sent out over high-tension wires to all parts of the country. The saving in.money now spent on hauling coal by railroad will be tremendous, not to mention the convenience of electricity as fuel. CARE OF TEETH Have your teeth X-rayed now and again. Neuritis, rheu- matism, heart trouble, paralysis and many other ailments are frequently due to abscesses that have formed above dead teeth. Usually these dead teeth date back to the period 10 or more years ago when dentists had an epidemic of removing nerves. It is known now, that was usually a mistake. How- ever, they did the best they could in view of wrong notions that beclouded dental knowledge in those days. CHURCH RADIO In Berlin the pastor of a big church installs microphones so‘his sermons and the choir music will reach the ears of members of the congregation who are “hard of hearing.” Many sermons are regularly broadcasted by radio. Print- ing press is increasingly being utilized to enlarge attend- ance by advertising. Churches are built, heated and lighted scentifically. A motor displaces the old-time bellows worker behind the organ. The church gets along very amiably with science, as regards the present. Differences develop when they inspect the past.

Two Spot knew the way and by and by he lit on the porch roof right | outside of Bobby’s window. Nick jumped off and gently put up the window and stuck in his head and looked around. “Come in,” he beckoned. “He's not here.” So Nancy and the Fairy Queen climbed over the window sill and there they were right in Bobby’s room where all his tracks and toys and books were—but not in the best order, I must say. ‘The little ark animals were scat- | tered all about.

But oh, how I wish you were here, for I am in such a mix-up. Yesterday 1 received a letter from ally Atherton in whic he told me that John Prescott was drinking very hard; in fact, she did not think that he had gone to bed one night, sober since Leslie caqe over to At lantic Citys She wanted me to tell this to Leslie. . Mrs. Atherton is an old girlhood friend of Leslie’s but since her mar- riage Sally has been very busy earn- ing her living, you know, and they have grown apart. Leslie, however, got Sally her position with her hus- band and Mrs, Atherton is very grateful to her for ‘this. They still are very fond of each other,'I think. Personally I never cared very much for Mrs. Atherton. She has always seemed to me to be a wo- man of strong impulses who mi sometimes find that they had over. ruled her hard business head. She is particularly ambitious and her married life was so unfortunate that she seems to feel that no man on earth is worth caring about, al- though I have heurd her acknowl- edge that her life would be very miserable if it were not for the oppo- site sex. “They are amusing,” she says with a shrug of her shoulders.

Honestly, Walter, it was awfully funny. To hear Leslie tell it you would be convulsed. Even she her- self had to laugh, but she ended with a sob. “What shall I do?” she asked when she told me that, when Jack had come to the phone after she had to listen to this drunken har- angue, she had told her husband she hated him and all his friends. “He laughed at me, Ruth. He laughed at me and asked me if I had no sense of -humor. 1 defy any woman to see any humor in being called up at 12 o'clock at night to listen to the drunken maudlin talk of a man whose. only excuse was that he was a friend of her hus- band’s. “1 insisted that Jack should be called to the phone and then I po- litely told me what I thought of him and rung off.

How can we cut down taxes for the farmers if one fourth of the land in some town- ships is owned by the Bank and the taxes on it is cancelled? The conse- quence will be that the farmers in such townships will have to increase jtheir taxes to make up for the land owned by the Bank that is not taxed. As an example, if a township had two or three sections of land on one side that is taken by the Bank of North Dakota and was rented, to say, three farmers with from three to seven children what would be the result. Nine times out of ten the law would compel the: township to build a schoolhouse and compel them to have nine months of school which would call for $900 2 year for a teacher and $5000 to build the schoo} house. Under the present plan it ; would be up to the tax payers to raise the money without assistance from the Bank. Oscar Backman, Wilton. THE GAME LAWS Minot, N. Dak. Jan, 12, 1925. Editor Bismarck, Tribune, -Bismarck, N. Dak. Sir: : T have just read with considérable interest, a letter in the Fargo Daily Tribune ‘written by W. C.. Taylor, President of the North Dakota Game Board, this letter contains much that is well known and much that is true also some points with which I cannot agree. Mr. Taylor says that the anti-dog law is a good one and points ta the [Proofs let us look into this claim for a moment, in the Province of Saskatchewan hunting with dogs is allowed and during the ‘past. six years prairie chickens have greatly increased in numbers, to such, an extent that I believe there are more chickens in the’ Municipality of Argyle than in,any like area. in ; North Dakota and= right here is the fly in Mr, Taylor's ointment, in the last five years there have been trained in and around the district mentioned, from five hundred to a thousand bird dogs each year -by professional trainers from all parts jof the United States, and yet the ‘ybirds are not decreasing but on the contrary are on the increase. T will admit one thing that the ‘anti-dog law has done, it has chang- jed a lot of sportsmen into common pot-hunters and sneaks. What about the wounded birds that are lost and dead birds the j hunter fails to find on account of the absence of his friend, the dog to find them, does the hunter count them in his e limit? Not that you will notice, he keeps on shoot- jing until he has the limit in his coat or more, usually more. I asked at least a dozen hunters this fall if they had- found all the birds that dropped to their guns and in every case I received the j same answer, they had always lost some birds, this would not have happened had they been shooting over a dog. Personally I would rather take my dog afield to hunt chickens and leave my gun at home than take my gun and leave my dog, at home, but the anti-dog crank will not allow you to take your dog afield without a gun, I suppose for fear that you will make the chickens so wild that che can’t pot them, x A few years ago before the anti- dog law, I had occasion to go down near Buffalo Lodge lake to test some harseg for export, it was in the month of.

There are no safe generalizations SAME TEMPTATION 40 YEARS AGO In the pre-scientifie age of medi- |cine—which is any time before 35 jor 40 years ago—the same tempta- tion confronted medical theories. ‘The generalization of Hahnemann, for instance, that “like cures like”-— that is, that a remedy which in large doses produces. certain symptoms will in very small doses relieve the same symptoms—was based on actual bservation that this does happen with certain remedies, as strychnine and ipecae. But no one would now make a general rule of it. It is true or not, in each particular instance, accord- ing to the observed facts. The moral of which—and medi- cine is only one of its applications— is to revere facts; to respect theories soundly deduced from all the known facts, and to distrust theories hastily generalized from a few facts. For instance: apply it to the in- ternational questions which our newly awakened international minds are constantly asking, “What does Germany think? What does Japan want?” There is no answer, because the questions do not mean anything. “Germany” does not think anything; “Japan” does not want anything. There are all. sorts of Germans and all sorts of Japanese, and they think and want all sorts of things. One sort may get possession of government, and the organized na- tion may do one thing, as Germany did in 1914, but no whole nation ever thinks or feels or wants any one thing or has any one character or temperament. We know this about our own neighbors and our own country; but when we consider distant peoples. we are likely to personify whole nations and to jump at general conclusions New York, Jan. 14.—More rescues at sea are credited to the captains of the 21 freighters of the Lucken- back line than to any other group of seamen.

Doug- las. of: Amherst before the American Association for Labor Legislation. Let us hope so, But many of us had feared otherwise. Progress seems to cost money, and war taxes have made us all conservative. These measures, to be sure, would be pro- fitable investments. But the profits would not show directly in treasury reports and tax bills, “and it takes more vision than some of us have to see beyond these records, UNEMPLOYMENT INSURANCE Of these proposed forms of insur- ance, that against unemployment is doubtless: the most popular, but health insurance js really much more urgent. The first remedy for unemplo; ment is employment. We need to go much further in that direction be- fore we are ready to cover the irre- movable remainder by insurance.
