(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SPENCER, LEVINGS & BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON In Step With the Times Study of the picture of the pro- posed new capitol building and care- ful perusal of the facts regarding the building lead the average observ- er to the conclusion that the struc- ture is in step with the times. It took courage for the members of the capitol commission to break away from the traditional type of building with a dome and expensive furbe- lows and they are to be congratu- lated for having done so. The tax- payer will be especially grateful when | he realizes that the design is one which should give the state 100 cents in value for every dollar spent. His view may be that it would have taken more courage—of a far less laudable kind—for the commission to have saddled the state with a cumbersome and expensive structure. From an artistic standpoint the building is admittedly different from those structures which dominate capi- tol cities throughout the country, but this is not to say that it is inferior from an aesthetic standpoint. On the contrary there is a trimness and cleanliness about the design which lends to it a distinction all its own. Architects speak of beauty in terms of line and mass as well as of color. ‘The proposed building meets the first| two requirements and lends itself} well to whatever treatment may be decided upon for the third factor. | ‘The saving which a building of this type will effect for the taxpayer will! begin during the course of its con-| struction. It is cheaper to build than i the old type. The savings will be continued through the years, for the; percentage of space available for use| in the proposed structure is far in excess of the percentage of space used and usable in buildings such as the Minnesota state capitol at St. Paul. | It is devoutly to be wished by the taxpayers of the state that this build- ing will provide ample room for all state needs for many years to come. If and when, however, additional room is necessary, it will be a simple matter either to expand the proposed capitol structure or to erect a new building in complete harmony with it.| State capitol buildings at Lincoln, Neb., and Baton Rouge, La., created! sensations when their designs were announced. They were the first to break away from the traditional type modeled after the national capitol at Washington. Competent critics now admit they are among the most beau- tiful and most distinguished in the; country. : The North Dakota building will be on @ much smaller scale than its im- mediate predecessors in sister states but is regarded as even more ad- vanced in design, carrying still fur- ther into the governmental field the reed of practicability and economy. ‘These are lessons which need to be emphasized in our form of govern- ment. The proposed capitol build- ing will emphasize and illustrate them for years to come. Let’s Satisfy Them Information received in Bismarck from representative men of all po- litical parties in all parts of the state is to the effect that they will not be satisfied unless the proposal to re- move the capital from Bismarck to Jamestown is smothered beneath an avalanche of votes such as has never ‘before been recorded in the history of the state. _ They want the result to be so deci- sive that no one ever again will dare * to raise the suggestion that an im- portant state institution, once located, be jacked up and placed on wheels - Im the main, these folks are sym- _ to Bismarck’s position for a ‘of self-interest and are frank t~ = ~ Folks from Fargo say they want to the agricyltural college there, 201 is being reported, but for a different Grand Forks, where the state univer- sity is located. From Minot, Mayville, Valley City, Ellendale, Dickinson and Wahpeton where other state educa- tional institutions are located comes the same story, also from Grafton, Devils Lake and Bathgate which have eleemosynary institutions. Folks from Mandan say they cannot forget the importance to them of the state {training school, and so it goes. The interest of persons friendly to state institutions already located lies with Bismarck in this battle. From the farm the same reaction |reason. Our biggest industry is hard- er hit than any other. Farming feels the burden of taxation this year as it never has felt it before. The peo- ple living on the land of this state are struggling grimly to hang on and to pay their bills, including the tax levy. The fight they are making is an heroic one and no one knows the trials and the difficulties which bar the way to victory better than the folks who are in the thick of this battle. They are hoping for and in- {sisting upon lower taxes so that this portion of their burden may be eased. | To these folk Jamestown offers the! unsupported promise of tax reduction if their city is chosen state capital. Against this promise the farmers of the state are balancing the fact that to move the capital would be to aban- don an investment of $1,400,000 which the state already has in Bismarck. It is not even the contrast between a bird in the hand against two in the bush which the old saw warns against. It is a contrast between one in the hand and the prophesy of one to appear in the bushes at some future time. The farmer is not overlooking this fact any more than is his city brother. It is interesting to note, too, the reaction to the principles involved in quarters far removed from Bismarck. Everywhere throughout the state peo- ple are having difficulty in the job of making énds meet. No one, ap- parently, lives on easy street any more. In too many cases, farmers are losing their homes by the fore- closure route. But even those who are hardest pressed or who havg lost the most, are not disposed to vote to inflict unnecessary loss and suffer- ing upon the residents of any City. The fact that they have suffered and are suffering misfortune and hard- ship only whets their sense of jus- tice. They will not vote to inflict on others any more handicaps or dis- couragements than they already face. They object to the principle of the thing. These reports are encouraging and the more so because they are being made voluntarily, but they should not cause Bismarck’s citizens or its de- fense committee to relinquish their efforts. We should keep in mind the} desire expressed to us of secing the removal proposal “snowed under” by an avalanche of votes. We should do our best to help our friends in other parts of the state make this ambition come true. Health Is Better The United States Public Health Service reports that illnesses of a week or more declined in proportion to the employed population in 1931 by nearly 24 per cent as compared with 1929. It was about the same, however, as for 1930. The sickness rate for 1931, exclusive of influenza, was 10 per cent below that of 1930 and 18 per cent less than for 1929, On the other hand, the incidence of pneumonia, which often follows in- fluenza, showed a sharp falling off. Bronchitis and diseases of the ton- sils and pharynx also show a decrease and the same holds true, to the ex- tent of 12 per cent, for diseases of the digestive system. An even larger reduction is shown for diseases of the skin. One type of illness which shows a slight increase is that diagnosed as neurasthenia, or nervous disorders, The record is all the more remark- able in view of the fact that it is taken from industrial records in these times when every business, from farming to the largest industrial or- ganization in the land, is having a fight to keep its head above water. The public health service states the facts but makes no attempt to in- terpret them. It seems a fair infer- ence, however, that people are living more simply now than was true in 1929 and that the change has been good for their health. .

The pity of the whole matter is that Bismarck is obliged to act on the defensive in a fight of this kind. The capital was located by the state constitution, at Bismarck, and that location has been very satisfac- tory to the majority of the people of North Dakota. Other cities, with the same ambition as Jamestown, have, in former years, tried to move the capital, but when the votes were counted they made & very poor show- ing. “ Jamestown probably will fare no better but the state as a whole and the cities of Jamestown and Bis- marck in particular will be put to a needless expense to decide a question which should never have been brought up.

They drove’ almost quietly to Dreamland, absorbed in their sepa- rate thoughts. They stopped off Broadway.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association A cough is a sign that there is some interference with breathing. The interference may be in the throat, due to tickling from mucous; it may be in the lungs, due to ob- struction of some of the passages from the lungs into the thfoat, or it may be some involvement of the nervous system reaching the tissues involved in coughing. Probably most ordinary coughs are due to irritation at the back of the throat, and repre- sent an attempt by the body to throw out the irritating substances. hs are sometimes with heart disease, when there is a sufficient amount of fluid accumu- lated in the lungs, because of the in- ability of the heart to push the fluid around in the circulation. Almost every mother knows ways of relieving a cough. One of the best is to inhale steam from water to which a few drops of the com- pound tincture of benzoin have been added. This merely relieves the ten- sion in the tissues and soothes them; it is not a cure for the basic cause every emotion in order to portray them all—Dorothy Jordan, movie player.
