It can become greater ~~ . only as the tax rate becomes adjusted to its power to pay.| 4 AA The load must b to the city commission, the step must be taken as economy in-civie affairs for the next decade is an absolute necessity. New wealth must be attracted into the city, more people settled on the vacant land in the county and’ with that will come naturally more city dwellers to share the tax load; but these things cannot be done on a tax rate that is far, far above the peak for cities of this size. “fhe idea that this form of publicity if hurtful must be} banished now for you cannot chloroform your people and make them see assets where only liabilities exist. They pay the taxes which in Bismarck hardly act as a pleasant anesthetic and the “joyizers” and “pollyannas” cannot sugar coat the pill completely with vague vaporings about civie pride. That issue is not involved. You may hide the sore but unless cured, it continues to distress and irritate. Everyone who has an investment in Bismarck h onstrated his faith and reflected his pride in the city, but he wants to guard that investment against confiscation and against the extravagant. and inefficient tax-eater who can see no farther than the pork-barrel. The future growth of Bismarck and its immediate expansion are bound up in the issue of tax budgets. As they decrease will come prosperity antk business expansion. Let us face the facts as citizens actuated by only. one mative: The development of Bismarck. WASTE ‘If someone can solve our distribution problem the high cost of living will eome down—no doubt about it.’ Economists agree that one of industry’s biggest prob- lems is reduction of distribution cost. You get an idea of the*magnitude of the problem when you learn that the work- ers engaged in distribution increased eight times as fast. frgm 1910 to 1920 as those directly concerned in produc- tion. ‘Herbert Hoover says there’s too much waste in our dis tribution system—too many “links in the chain and an exces- sivénumber of chains.” Some of these wastes are business booms—and theit rea¢tions asonal variations in production; lack of proper standards; inadequate transportation. CURFEW Midnight is time for every law-abiding citizen to be in bed, declares Mayor Smallwood of Martinsburg, W. Va. And he announces he will arrest anyone found in Martinsburg streets after that hour. Mayor Smallwood believes that in this manner he can eliminate a lot of crime. But no matter how well intentioned he may be, his reasoning is not as sound as it might be. Go- ing first to the cause and ascertaining what factors prompt people to stay out so late would have been better. The world is made up of individuals. What is good for one-might not be good tor another. Curfew laws have been enacted in many cities before, only to be repealed or to die for-lack of enforeement. ic HIGH ‘SCHOOLS : ricrease in high school attendance during recent years has-made secondary education one. of our biggest problems. High school enrollment is increasing seven times as fast as the fiation’s population. meet it the Bureau of Education of the Interior De- partment is planning a permanent organization on a co- poeensive basis-to assist as research agency and clearing jouse. Perhaps it will be able to find why the cost of education is so much higher in small high schools than in large ones. Often the cost per pupil is five times greater in small hools, giving the same opportunities, as in the lagger ones MONEY tional: wealth of the United States increased from a | little less than 187 billions in 1912 to nearly 321 billions in ‘1928. This last figure, says our Census Bureau, represents just..about, what the “total mass of goods in the United “States would have cost if bought piecemeal on Dec. 31, ©n the surface this looks like an increase of 72 per cent. ver, several factors enter, chief among them the de- tion of the dollar since 1912.

Spring is the time of gardens ; Some get vegetables out of their gar- dens, Some get chickens. In starting your garden, make it small enough for your wife to do all the work later on. You can combine golfing and gar- dening by using a midiron for a hoe. Gardening, golfing and_fishing are like faith, hope and charity, except you have the faith and hope and néed the charity. Perhaps the wildest of the wild spring flowers are the bathing girls. Swimming is better than golfing. You can take as manY strokes as you please. Fishing is better than swimming.

ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Nancy and Nick looked at Mister Peg Leg, then they looked at Farm- er Greenway’s sass-patch garden. They were very curious. “What has thi: ot to do with Mrs. “Bunny’s magic kettle?’ they asked. “Mrs. Bunny said her chil- dren wouldn’t ext their meals and wanted to buy a magic kettle. But you made her buy some chicken-wire instead and then brought us here. Why?” Mister Peg Leg grinned. “Just }watch for a few minutes and you will soon see why.

Your wife, RUTH. “Shi” whispered Mister Peg Leg. “Watch.” ext came Cutie Cottontail and Ben Bunny, Jr., who were both in the same grade at Helter Skelter School. < When they were opposite the extra large fence-hole they turned and scrambled through without a word. And they, too, were soon lost from view in a lettuce bed. Right then along came Belinda Bunny and her cousin Rebecca Rabbit. With a giggle and a wiggle, they disappeared through the hole in the fence, and the last the Twins saw of them they were heading for the place where the beet greens were thick- est. “Humph!” said Mister Peg Leg. “Magic kettle, indeed! Magic fiddle- sticks} What they need is no magic kettle’ but a magic switch that will teach them not to steal and then pretend that they are sick and worry their mother to death. There isn’t a thing wrong with their appetites— not one of them.” When all of the rabbits had eaten their fill and come out through the extra large hole in the fence again, with their sides sticking out like puddings, Mister Peg Leg unrolled the chicken wire and got out a ham- mer and some nails. | “Come, children, we'll fix this up right here and now,” said he. And before four o’elock there wasn’t a place in that fence big enough to get your hand through. q “Now we'll see if poor Mrs. Bunny needs a magic kettle,” he said. That afternoon after school all the bunny children came romping along as fast as-they coyld toward Farmer Greenway’s sass-patch garden. But lo and behold! It was all shut in with chicken wire. They couldn't so muck as get their ears in. And when Mister Ben Bunny left the office, it was the same thing. He couldn’t get in, either. That night they all ate the good dinner Mrs. Bunny cooked—as hun- gry as hunters. “Um yum, “but ‘everything tastes good,” said Mister Bunny. “And to think chicken-wire did it all,” said’ Mrs, Bunny in a puzzled voice. “What did you say?” asked her husband sharply, “Qh, nothing,”, said Mrs, Bunny, hut she determined to find out all about it.

State READ TRIBUNE WANT ADDS It is as bad to ext too many eggs as it is to eat none at all, Mrs. Jones learned. : Children under 5 or 6 should not have more than one egg a day, or one every other day. School children and adults in general may eat one a ,|day, githough there may. be objec- tions’to this rule. When' eaten according ‘to reason they make an excellent food, how- ever. They contain mineral elements and are rich in vitamin A. Dr. Hess, an eminent New York physician, has found that egg-yolk, given to very young babies, prevents rickets.

E | The Amer: Federation of Labor announces that it will continue the campaign for the child labor amend- ment, even though it is temporarily defeated. An amendment is permanently pending until passed, so time is al- ways on the side of the preponents. Theoretically, this privilege of ratification continues forever. @ There are two amendments legally pending for ratification now, one providing that Congress shall not have more than one member for each 50,000 population, and the other that an increase in congre: salaries shall not take effec an election has intervened. Since the first would now author- ize a Congress of 2200 members, it is useless. The other is doubtless superflious, but it is unobjectionable. These amendments were submitted in 1790, and, never having been rati- fied, are still pending. Let us hope that the child labor amendment will not have to wait so long. UNT FANNY TEACHES IS SOMETHING Improve if you can on the philos- ophy of life’of an old negro woman, born a slave more than 100 years ago. . “God and Lincoln was good to me,” says Aunt Fanny. “Lincoln set me free, so’s I could work for myself and have shoes for my feet.” “Work for myself!” Freedom, the gift, not of idleness, but of work. The comforts of life to be earned by personal labor. If all free people lived up to a philosophy as sound, this would be a better world.
