CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Petitions Deficient Secretary of State Robert Byrne after careful study and scrutiny, and doubtless upon good legal advice, has} found the petitions referring the four cent gas tax} deficient and has rejected them. From all reports, he| was justified in doing so aside from the merits or de-) merits ‘of the issues involved. ! The law specifies how an enactment shall be referred | and initiated end of course Mr. Byrne had nothing to do} but reject the petitions as inadequate when the gasoline | tax petitions failed to comply with the statutes. ~ whether the petitioners will resort to court. action re- mains to be seen. A little more care taken in securing signatures would have done the job efficiently. There 1s} enough resentment throughout the state against the in- crease in the law gasoline tax to defeat the measure if it ever came to a vote. As a rule the gasoline tax for road work is the best medium, but in these days of depression and curtall- ment, the voters will endorse a tightening of the purse strings. The state highway commission will find its fund in-| adequate to great expansion even with the extra cent/ of taxation accorded by a legislature which defied the mandate of the people. Gasoline consumption has fallen off materially. This issue, along with failure to redistrict the state,) will be thrown into the political campaign hopper. The oppesition to the gasoline tax comes from imperial Cass / county, the home of Boss Twichell. Opposition is found; also in several other strong I. V. A. counties, so the ad- ministration will have a lot of explaining to do as the campaign warms to an open discussion of issues. In view of the experiences which many persons are having with their personal affairs, the legislature's action in increasing the gasoline tax was not only contrary to! the will of the people as expressed no longer ago than last fall, but also contrary to the sentiment of the times. It would meet with general satisfaction were a singere) effort to be made to find ways of curtailing public ex-) penditures rather than to continue the hunt for new or increased sources of revenue. In all our ramifications of government the tendency since the war has been toward bigger and better appro-| priations; more and more money to be spent from the public coffers. Nowhere in America has the orgy of spending, which has given the nation a financial head- ache, been more apparent than in the various branches of government. It is true that these increases were made largely in answer to the demands of an optimistic public. But it is equally true that the public which once thought it needed so much now finds it can get along on much leas. The people feel that this rule should app!y to the expenditure of tax money as much as to thei personal spending. The administration’s plea of highway necessity, then, finds an offset in the popular clamor for a reduction in the tax burden. Whatever political benefit will accrue from the expenditure of this money will go to the present state administration. But it also will carry the nus which action in over-riding the will of the voters and increasing public expenditures must necessarily en- tail. Dear Old Dad Even if it did develop as an afterthought and is not ‘o well implanted in the public mind, tomorrow will be Father's Day and the nation will observe it. On that day America will pay tribute to one of the grandest institutions which this country knows. It will honor a spirit which has never flagged, which always has risen to the occasion, which has stood the heat of the day and the darkness of the night without quailing, which has dreamed its dreams and which has suffered its defeats without whining or crying for sympsthy. It bows in respect to Dear Old Dad. It is he who faces the world on behalf of his flock and the thoughts of his cwn frailty, his own delin- quencies, his own inadequacy for the job of keeping the wolf from the door, his own inability to do for his family all he would like to do, often worries him. This feeling comes to most men at some time in their lives and those who are fortunate enough to win victory in the contest often thank their Maker for His goodness. Fathers face other duties and tasks fully as important as those which are entailed in material considerations, for the rule of modern society is that he who brings a child into the world is responsible for that child's men- tal, moral and spiritual development fully as much as for its physical care. And even to those who are free from material or fi- nancial cares, this is not a duty to be taken lightly. Many a father prays for guidance in dealing with his children that he may assist them to their fullest pos- sible development. and set their feet on the right path in life, In the drama of unfolding childhood, of course, Mother plays the dominating role. It is she who spends the most time with her children and Dad enters the picture only occasionally. But he is Mother's rock of refuge and tower of strength in time of storm and stress. When all else fails it is to Dad that she appeals for advice, counsel, comfort and—even in this enlightened age—for the as- sistance of his strong right arm in the privacy of the family basement, successor to the time-honored wood- thed. Where Mother is the comforter and the source of sweetness and unselfish assistance, Dad is calleé upon to be the disciplinarian and the dispenser of justice. To @ loving father it is no pleasant role and, despite the cynicism of youth, the ides of “this hurts me more than it you” still holds true. It is a tribute to the wisdom and understanding of modern fatherhood, how- is used much less extensively now father knows that the 00) officials on tax matters is a step in the right direction. jin one key, when the pressure is all in one direction, mother, who has shared Dad’s sorrows as well as his Joys. | It is the finest possible tribute to the fathers of the world that the mothers of the world still love them and still see in them the essence of greatness; still find/| them necessary to peace and contentment. | It was the motherhood of America which created | Father's Day, and when you come to think of it, isn't| that typical of mother? Always so unselfish; always | so thoughtful. And isn’t it what she has been doing, in millions of individual cases, through all these years? Why, certainly it is. And therein lies one of the} great glories of fatherhood; one of the finest satisfac-) tions of parenthood for both Mother and Dad. In the Right Direction Appointment by President Davis of the Association of Commerce of a committee to cooperate with local public. In the interests of better understanding by the public | of the problems of government as well as of sanity in the | expenditure of money by governmental bodies, it is to be] hoped that this group will be made a permanent one and! kept in active existence. | Its value to the community will depend, of course, | upon the wisdom and attention which the committee members give to the problems presented, but the idea is so sound, fundamentally, that it cannot fail to benefit) the heavily-burdened taxpayer. i} The personnel of the committee is such as to command public respect and the list contains men of recognized! ability. Even this, however, also is relatively unim- portant for any committee of property owners and buri- nessmen would bring to the job the same attitude toward matters to be considered. And the attitude which these men will bring to the’ work is, after all, the really important thing. Theirs will be the task of studying budgets, of esti- mating the need for development and improvements, of advising the taxpayer what he can afford to spend money for and what he can get along without. | The public will not expect these men to be any more} parsimonious in dealing with public matters than in} dealing with their private affairs. It will expect them to give to things affecting the public purse the same! sound thought and attention, the same business judg-! ment, which they exercise in their private lives. | If they do this, much of the bunk will be taken out) of the public business and several leaks which now may! be sifting money out of the public treasuries may be! stopped. : It is no reflection on either the honesty or ability of | public men to say that a committee of this sort will be valuable. Everyone knows the pressure which may be} brought upon officeholders and when the clamor is all} who can blame them if they yield? One of the jobs of the new committee will be to stiffen the backbone of officialdom in such cases. It will be their duty to point to the financial consequences of ever: important movement; to examine into the need for im- provements and, in those instances where the questions of hard, commonsense are not answered, to say “No” in unmistakable terms. | The duties of this group will be onerous and at times} distasteful, for it is no pleasant task to opprse pet} schemes which have nothing to condemn them other! than the fact that they cost: the people money. ternesses may develop if the ideas of taxspenders clash} with those of taxsavers, but if such clashes must come This committee may do a great deal of good in promot- ing the growth and development of our city, for few things are so attractive to business, industry or the home | owner aS low. tax rates.

Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought || by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Trib- une's policies. Mr. Hoover Bids Us Hope (New York Times) Tf Americans like a public man who is not afraid, they also like one who is not discouraged or despondent. For this reason the address of the president at Indianapolis last evening will fall like a word of good cheer upon the ears of the country. It is full of confidence and deter- mination and reassurance. There is nothing political, much less partisan, about it. If, as was predicted, Mr. Hoover regards this speech as the beginning of his cam- paign for another Republican nomination, he pitched it in exactly the right tone. Not a word had he to say about his opponents, within his own party. Against the insurgent Western Republicans who have made life miserable for iim in congress, he breathed not a syllable. His one subject was the sea of troubles in which the nation finds itself today, and how to take arms against it. The whole is infused with a sp.rit of optimism and buoyancy whieh can hardly fail to have a tonic effect upon all who heard or read the address. It may be alleged that Mr. Hoover's convictions are Stronger than his arguments in their support. Yet he) does advance many reasons for the faith that is in him. These are mainly tine resources of the United States and the indomitable encrgy of the people. They have pulled us out of former depressions, and surely will out of the present one. If all this, together with the presi- dent’s praise of the illimitable achievements of this nation in the past, making of it “a success never before known in the history of the world,” sounds a good deal like a Fourth of July oration, the fact remains that it is the kind of thing which Americans just now desire to. hear from their, president, He has been for more than a year the target of criticism, the recipiént of a great body of complaint and appeals, the one man who has had most frequent occasion to become haggard with anxiety over the state of the nation, and if he has come through it all undaunted and hopeful, his attitude in maintain- ing a cheerful front in the face of the general gloom is the very thing needed at this juncture. It would be easy to single out passages in the Indiana- polis speech which are rather hard reading. What Mr. Hoover has to say about the tariff, for example, is neither enlightening nor. helpful. He admits that there are “{nequities and inequalities” in the Hawley-Smoot tariff, but holds out the rather faint promise that they will be “rectified” by the tariff commission. As for the com- mon impression that our tariff laws have given offense to other nations, the president retorts that the shoe is on the other foot—that it is their tariffs which have “imposed on the American farmer” a “profound hard- ship.” This is because they have taken away from him “profitable export markets,” and in addition have adopted protective tariffs against the “special farm products of the United States.” Yet all appears to have been in vain, for in another part of his.speech Mr. Hoover states that through the aid of the federal government. Ameri- can farmers have “realized hundreds of millions more in prices than the farmers of any other country.” This will be news to the western farmers. They will desire to know with the farmers of what other country the president compares them. Perhaps with those of Rus- sia or China! We have no desire, however, to single out and press minor faults that might be found in what the presi- dent said at Indianapolis, On the whole, it is an excel- lent speech, well |, well timed and precisely on the note which ought to be struck at present. As' an offset to the prevailing dejection,.the president's robust faith in the future of this, country comes as 4 happy reinforcement for all who are struggling with ad- versity. and are as he is, to it. “His to Dad in the develdp- No one knows this better than address 50 plains ‘inclines to hope tather than fear that it is important that the men who pay be satisfied rather! , . , THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, JUNE 20, 1981 _ New York, June 20.—Forty-sixth street will never be the same without the N. V. A. clubhouse. Here would gather the great army of transient dealers in entertainment—the hand lancers and the jugglers, the tap team act and the sister act, the acro- bats and the banjo trio, the dog trainers and the lion tamers, the hoofers and the adagio dancers, the ballet leaders and the hoop rollers, the clowns and tragedians. Some 8000 vaudevillians would drift in and out, as they reached the big town after “the road.” A huge bulletin board would bear dozens of notices for the eyes of the jobless vaudevillian. One placard vould tell of “10 weeks’ time open” on a Jersey circuit ... a band would suddenly need a “saxophone artist who can double in quartet and clown” @ revue would need “soubrettes who can tap and sing blues..... also harmony” ... another act woul need “character man for sketch who also can work in one.” But of late months a great pall has fallen over the trouper’s trade. Some blamed the talkies, some blamed the times, some blamed this and some blamed that; some said. that there avas discord in the ranks of the Nat- ional Variety Artists’ membership; some whispered of “inside politics” at any rate, something like $150,000 in debts faced the organization. Until he died, E. F. Albeo, the vaudeville magnate, had carried most of the club's losses so that the variety folk could have a Broadway gathering place, and so that he could keep per- i formers friendly to his vaudeville cir- cuit. Some say that a way will yet be found to pull the organization to- gether; others that the clubhouse will become a hotel. ** * Just before his new biography of ©. Henry appeared, Robert (Bob) Davis, the editor who has helped haul many a young writer to the peaks, was spinning yarns of the “caliph of Bagdad.” Davis, so- went the stories told over the dinner table, could have had a great fortune in his hands teday had he saved any of the O. Henry manu- scripts. But editorslike, these inval- uable originals went into the weste- basket like any other copy and even- tually were burned by the janitor. The value of such originals today would be about $150,000. “But how was I to know?” asks Davis. “He was a talented writer and Can It Make the Grade? Modern Methods of Reviving By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Med- ical Association. Most deaths from drowning occur from May to August, when swimming is popular. The majority of cases of drowning occur in men. Twenty- five per cent of those which occurred in California, in a recent study of the | subject by the California State De- partment of Health, affected people between the ages of 35 and 54.

At one, the hands are placed on the lower ribs, thumbs and fingers together, wrists about six inches apart; at two, the operator arises on the knees and with the arms straight throws the weight downward and a little forward, and at the same time slightly squeezing the hands to- ward each other; at three, the hands are suddenly removed, which permits an expansion of the chest; at @ count: of four and five, the operator rests and promptly begins again. Keep Victim Warm ‘The entire procedure takes about. five seconds, which will permit of approximately 12 artificial respira- tions a minute. The movement may be kept up for hours. At the same time, it is well to keep the drowning person warm, if a blanket is available, and to encourage circulation by rub- bing the legs. A physician should be secured as soon as possible. Just as soon as the signs of consciousness re- turn, warmth and stimulation are de- sirable. There is no necessity for rolling the drowning person over a barrel, hang- ing him up by the feet, or any other rough treatments that used to be the vogue before modern artificial respir- ation became established. The two most common criticisms are that the artificial respiration is carried on for too brief a time (it is well to con- tinue even two hours, if there is the slightest possibility of resuscitation) and the application of the movements too rapidly. f be Quotations j ¢ Genius is an infinite sagacity in taking short cuts.—Ivor Brown, * * * The best definition I know of a pessimist is one who does business with an sige SA ein Otis Smith.
