Logan Payne Co, CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON at They May Come Down hhas been developing in recent years. majority of the tax money is spent at home. To most of than the conduct of the larger political sub-divisions, this year. Counties, feeling the pressure of popular un- rest at a heavy tax burden are expected to follow suit and cities most surely will swing into line when the pres- sure becomes strong enough. A survey by the Rawleigh foundation, which interests itself in such matters, discloses that 27 of the 43 governors Who sent messages to state legislatures this year, stressed the tax situation and the need for relief from what were described as “excessive, confiscatory and destructive burdens.” In a recent study economists for the foundation found that in many states the general tax is taking practically One-third of the farmers’ total cash income and that Small property owners are forced to carry an “insuper- able burden” in direct and indirect taxation. The conclusion was drawn from these finds that agri- culture has gone far afield in looking to Washington for Solution of its economic problem, which the economists asserted could probably be found nearer at home in the intelligent consideration of tax laws and in the more equitable distribution of their burdens. ‘The average individual will have trouble in picking a Quarrel with that idea. Back in the days when Billy Sun- day was shepherding the new-found faithful down the Baw-dust trail, the old-time song of “Brighten the Corner Where You Are” was both effective and popular. It got over to the recalcitrant sinner that salvation was, after all, @ personal matter. Taxes should be that way, too. If the American public will assume definite and direct responsibility for solution of its tax problems, the answer is on the way and it will come in a hurry. If the public waits for a taxing Moses to lead it from the wilderness of heavy imposts, conditions will be un- changed. We shall continue to have officials of each of our numerous branches of government talking of the need for economy and tax reduction—in every field except their own. A Worthwhile Saving Among the various propaganda movements being car- rled on by branches of the federal government or organ- izations connected with it is one which seems designed to encourage states to adopt automobile drivers’ examina- tion and license laws. It is sponsored by the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety of which Hon. Robert P. Lamont, secretary of commerce, is chairman, and has consisted of a series of statements by leading officials and traffic authorities, Commenting on these press releases the conference says they are intended to set forth “the reasons for and the purposes of the license law with mandatory examination and test for prospective drivers of motor vehicles. The statements describe also the application and effect of the law in the states where it is in opera- tion now. Figures and statistics are given also for states! with and without the law which indicate the trends in traffic fatalities for the ten-year period of 1920-1929 for states with the examination and test as compared with States without it.” The figures offered are interesting. They show that, during the last two years, motor accidents have claimed the life of one person in each 3,968 in the country and one in each 123 has suffered injury. Combatting this situation, states with drivers examina- tion and license laws have experienced a reduction of 25 to 30 per cent in traffic fatalities as compared with their experience before the new system became effective. On this basis, these states are saving the lives of seven persons in each 100,000 of population and are preventing the in- jury of 236 in each 100,000. If all states were to adopt Such regulations and the experience held true the result would be a saving of 8,610 lives and prevention of 290,000 traffic injuries annually, according to data compiled by the conference, To adopt such a law in North Dakota might re- sult in some unforeseen complications and, unless proper- ly managed, might cause additional expense. There’ can be no question, however, that such a saving in life and in the accident toll is worth considering. The New Hegira q When Horace Greeley uttered the historic advice to “go west, young man” it was considered sound and the events of the last half-century have proved it su. It would be interesting to know, however, whence comes the advice which sends Americans of both the East and ‘West northward each year as the Canadian government tells us they come. Data recently compiled by the Canadian government in- formation bureau show that a total of 5,409,452 motor George D. Mann ...,........... President and Publisher (ore AAO SS ta eee eee ‘The wit who remarked that “all generalizations are false, including this one,” may have had in mind the ancient declaration that “taxes may go up but they never come down,” for it seems likely that progress is being made in the effort to change the taxation trend which For everywhere in America there {s an urge for revision of the taxing system and a change in the taxing laws. Generally speaking the people of the nation have been looking to the state and federal government to reduce their tax bills when the fact of the matter is that the us the efficiency and economy with which our local forms of government operate are a good deal more important In Minnesota, parts of North Dakota and elsewhere throughout the nation, township taxes have been reduced do not require passports and automobiles may be brought into Canada for tourist use for a period up to 90 days without duty or bond and for @ period up to six months: by fulfilling certain requirements, Tt is quite unnecessary ‘The Bismarck Tribune Company, Bis- for a tourist entering Canada to pay any fee for an auto- Bismarck mobile entry permit or for its extension as Canadian customs officers will, without charge, assist the tourist in making out the necessary papers.

It was just a phrase but the Policy of travel- across-the-border seems to be an increasing actuality. Good Spots on the Map Among the services performed by business observers for thelr clients in industry and commerce is that of is- suing maps showing the state of business in various Parts of the nation and listing the cities where activity is at a relatively high peak. The idea, of course, is to help per- sons or firms with products to sell to concentrate their ef- forts where the prospect of reward is bést. It is with peculiar satisfaction, therefore, that Bis- marck notes the prominence given it on a map recently Published by one of the nation’s leading economists. North Dakota's capital city, along with Dickinson, was one of the six places listed in which business conditions: were asserted to be relatively good. Men who keep in close touch with conditions through- out the country assert that the Northwest is in better shape today than most other parts of America; that bus- iness never has fallen to as low a depth as most other sections have experienced. We may not have risen s0 high in flush times, but then no section dependent wholly on the welfare of agriculture did. The fact that we have maintained the modern commercial Pace better than some other cities is both comforting afid enlightening. It makes us more than ever proud of Bismarck. Wild Talk Uncalled for There is a danger that the true facts of the “bus pro- blem” will become obscured by exaggerated statements and prejudiced charges, Both the critics and supporters of the bus have been. guilty of absurdities that tend to confuse the Public mind. This can do no one good, least of all the traveling Public whose interest is the principal factor in the equa- tion. In conjunction with other forms of transportation, the bus is supplying a service that is of value to millions of Americans seeking fast, economical and safe transport. ‘The main problem is how to adjust bus service to railroad service so that both industries may prosper and serve the public without waste and unnecessary duplication of facil- ities. And it is noteworthy that the more progressive bus and rail executives are now working to this end. Each has its advantages for certain classes of traffic and should have @ common objective—to cooperate in serving the Public as best it can. a 60,000 Bales Restoration of traffic on our inland waterways means an entirely different situation from that which prevailed in the palmy days when the Robert E. Lee, the Natchez, the J. M. White and Grand Republic were queens of our] jn, rivers, Information dug out of the musty archives discloses that the Robert E. Lee once carried a maximum load ot 5,000 bales of cotton; the J. M. White once carried 6,000 and the Grand Republic 7,000, but the record is held by the Henry Frank, a long, rakish stern-wheeler, which once steamed into New Orleans with 9,226 bales of cotton on board, in addition to other freight and passengers, But the ancient system is gone. The palatial steamers of other days have been replaced by barges and towboats, And one of these modern tows can carry as much as 60,000 bales of cotton. ‘That is as much as a good many trainloads.

When round shoulder exist, the front muscles are really stronger than the back muscles and pull the should- ets forward; to straighten the should- ers it is necessary to strengthen the back muscles until these pull the shoulders’ back into position. Little good is accomplished by trying to cor- rect round shoulders by throwing the shoulders back while standing, as such exercise is too easy and does not contract the back muscles vigorously enough. Instead, it will be much more helpful to take those exercises Where the arms and legs are raised backwards while lying face downward on the floor. In a few weeks you will be pleasantly surprised to find the shoulders staying back in good posi- tion when the muscles have regained. the necessary strength. The exercises which raise the arms and strengthen the back will help the shoulders.
