In addition to his outstanding work in lignite, Dean Babcock, through his experiments in Hebron clay, demonstrated that North Dakota clay has properties for manufacture of pottery unequaled unywhere in the United States. His work early at- | tracted the attention of the federal department of | mines which in the last decade relied on researches | of Dean Babcock for data on utilization of Dakota fuel in northwest industry. From the standpoint of mineralogy as well as economics Dean Babcock's work is of the utmos: importance to North Dakota and the nation, This | fact is shown in the interest displayed by govern: | ment bureaus, scientific agencies, and public men | throughout the nation in Dean Babcock’s experi- ments. The fact that his work is not better known to the people of his own state is alone accounted for by the Dean’s retiring nature—one of the most re- markable characteristics of this -brilliant personal- ity. His career is intimately linked with industrial progress in North Dakota. ,Whe importance of his achievements in the field of lignite coal will become more generally known as years go by. He was one of the state’s great men.

But it doesn't Consider, for instance, the case of a certain Mr. Jones which was brought to the attention of the | Dispatch recently. Jones is not, of course, his name, but it will do for these purposes. Mr. Jones betrays all the outward and visible signs of great wealth. It said that his income is above nnually. Yet his income tax last year was ning less than $20. This does not, right. We suppose, in accordance with the theory of the publicity law, the friends and neighbors of Mr. Jones ought to bear tales to the Collector of Internal Revenue. They should tell the collector that Mr. Jones is obviously dodging his taxes. They omehow, seem j Should tell the collector about Mr. Jones’ numerous and expensive, automobiles, about his retinue of} prvants, about the spaciousness and elegance of his residence, about the expensive gowns and hats worn by Mrs. Jones, about the high quality of the Jones dinners and about the prices he is said to pay his bootlegger. Thus the Collector of Inter nal Revenue, according to the theory of the pnb licity Jaw, would suspect that Mr dodger, and immediately put him in But of course he would not, for he sat all. He woull find t Mr. Jones in perfectly legitimate w had invested his large fortune so that his income ig almost wholly exempt. He would find in Mv. Jones’ strong box an imposing array of securities rather than stock of industria] corpora- tions which pay wages to labor and contribute to general prosperity. All of the tattling, all of the tale-bearing, all of the snooping, would result cnly in a certain coolness beween Mr. Jones and tho he had previously regarded as hig friends. The government would not be a penny ahead. Criminals—and tax dodgers are criminals-—are not caught in such absurd ways. Income tax re- turns for 1924 and 1925 have been open to the public, but we have yet to learn of a single cage 07 tax dodging uncovered as a result.

FOUR MAIN CAUSES OF WAR Cambridgte, _ Eng. —()—Sponking | on “Economic Disarmament,” recent: | ly, Sir Arthur Salter, director of the |” economic and finance section of the League of Nations, said that of four main causes of war—dynastic, relig- ious, political and economic—the last alone was likely to become continu- ally more serious. In the future, he said. the chief pre-occupation of the buik of man- kind would be a struggle for the means of life. Monopolistic or even preferential exploitation of supplies of raw materials might at any mo- ment threaten serious danger. The most dangerous word was “oil.” The inevitable struggle for markets he declared would threaten peace in Proportion as the power of armed governments was associated in the struggle, and intervened to secure unequal’ or preferential conditions proportionate to their strength. If peace was to be preserved, Sir Arthur said, the armed power of gov- ernments must he more and more dissociated from the economic strug- gle.
