Most of the expansion in public expenditures of recent years has been due to public urging. Public demand for a reduction will be met just as quickly.

To date, major attention has been centered upon the tax expenditures of the smaller political subdivisions.) biggest portion of the tax dollar is spent. There are signs, however, that as| soon as the werk of paring the local| budgets has been properly attended to, North Dakota's taxpayers will] turn their attention to the affairs of} the state and will insift that ap- propriate action be taken there. The state officeholder who contents} himself with advising the counties how to reduce their expenditures, or) who insists that state tax reduction] is an impossibility, will feel the chastening hand of the North Dakota] electorate. | The people have their feet on the} solid ground of fact. ‘The roseate| clouds of optimism no longer shroud their vision.

On one hand is a group which contends that trading! in futures is alone responsible for low agricultural prices. They would have us believe that elimination of future trading is a panacea for all agricul- tural ills. On the other hand is the established | grain trade which clings to its cus-! toms and practices in a manne:; natural to every human being. It} insists that futures trading is all for the benefit of the farmer, even though the farmer does very little of this sort of business. President Hoover entered the pic-| ture recently with bitter condemna-) tion of those who have been selling | short in the wheat market. In effect it was a condemnation of futures) trading because this kind of market; demands both bulls and bears if it is] to function. Although commonly regarded as} wholly speculative in its nature, the! futures market acts, in many cases as a bar to speculation by making! “hedging” possible. This is a system! whereby the holder of grain seeks to protect himself against loss, through| ‘fluctuations in price, by balancing against it an equivalent purchase or| sale for future delivery. Elevator companies, wheat mer-| chants and millers have used it for years as a means of stabilizing their business and the practice has become .S0 universally recognized that the miller who fails to hedge is regarded as @ speculator, since it is he who stands to gain or lose if the market rises or falls. The dictum of the Canadian com- mission doubtless is based upon sound evidence and may apply as a general rule, but there are clearly cases where the good points of the system are over-shadowed by its bad ones. An example is the rise of 10 cents @ bushel in corn which occurred at Chicago Wednesday. If the price which prevailed at the close of the market is justified, corn has been selling at too low a figure for some time and the man who sold corn ‘Tuesday is put in the position of hav- ing made an extremely bad guess.

The Last Man (Boston Transcript) Lush grass is creeping around and up the steps of the old Grand Army hall, at Boxtown, Mass. The last member of the post is thet No fuss was made about him as a last man, or anything of that sort. He just died in va LL the exceeding fullness of years, and was buried with simple honors in the village cemetery. He served, he work- ed, he declined to his eternal rest, cared for by kind friends, for his two children were gone before him. He was a high private in the rear rank, not only in the Sixty-third Massa. chusetts Volunteers in Virginia and North Carolina, but through all his subsequent life. He had no sort of distinction. A bright little flag now waves over his unmarked grave, but it will fade and turn white, to the color of everlasting peace, in the sun and the wind at the top of the little hill where he sleeps with the fore- fathers of the village. There are other graves of veterans up there, and in the night, stirred by the light breeze, the little flags, all faded to whiteness, look like ghosts flitting from grave to grave. One can imagine these dwindling specters comparing notes of Virginia battlefields through the night, and recalling the souvenirs of the old camping grounds.

He was impelled to write, he said, to correct what he termed inaccurate information in American newspapers regarding the military conditions in Europe.

MORRIS FISHBEIN (Editor, Journal of the Medical Association) In making a diagnosis of heart dis- ease the modern physician depends, as did the physicians of the past, first of all upon the history of the patient. He asks innumerable questions as to the conduct of life, sensation of op- pression or pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, and the other symptoms that have been mentioned. Then he care- fully maps out the size and position of the heart by using the methods of physical: examination called percus- sion and auscultation. He locates the position of the heart beat and the position of each of the borders of the heart. Then he uses the X-ray to confirm his observations made by physical studies. Much importance has been at- tached in the past to the hearing of murmurs of one type or another. Though these are still considered significant, it is now realized that murmurs may be present without se- tion, he sald France had completely reequipped and rearmed the Belgian, Serbian and Greek armies. f BARBS ‘ * Germany seems to be breaking its mark in the world. **# * Botanists are the envy of pedes- making a crossing. * * * What President Hoover hopes will| result from the disarmament con- ference, as we see it, is that the powers will greet each other with open arms. ** * Th fellow who hated to attend class) whfle at college now has a wife who gives him a lecture nightly. * & * The wheat farmer, like some pro- fessional men, can also complain that his field is over-crowded. * Gangster “types” are sought in Hollywood.

It is, of course, understood that any in- fections anywhere about the body will be found and removed.
