(Official City, State and County Newspaper) ‘per Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON This Tax Racket No greater criticism of the manner in which state affairs have been handled under the present adminis- tration is possible than the crop of taxpayers’ associations which has sprouted all over North Dakota. Get- ting no relief from legislatures dom- inated by one political faction or the other, the people of the state are tak- ing matters into their own hands. Unfortunately some of the remedies Suggested are not the best, but when the taxpayer takes the bit in his teeth there usually is no stopping him. The initiated measures affecting taxation are going to be popular with thousands of voters. Regardless ot their merit, the people of the state are anxious to register a protest vote. They are in a mood to hit the tax- eaters, whether they do so above or below the belt. North Dakota under its present po- litical leadership has drifted delib- erately into the present predicament. Commissions have been created and Personnel of those in existence before the orgy of spending began has been multiplied. This state in common with all states has assumed activities which do not belong to a government. Now the pressure of high government | tax is being felt and the taxpayer, | getting little or no constructive hela from his governor or his board of| equalization, is hitting out blindly for relief. He may do some institution &n injustice in seeking a way out, but for once in this state, the voters are demanding tax reduction and an end) to many foolish and expensive com-| missions. They should go a step farther and demand a cessation of} costly experiments which the present administration denounces on the hus- tings but, when elected to power, con- dones and uses them as a part of their political machine to put fresh} taxes upon the people. | Initiated measures, taxpayers’ asso- ciations and groups of citizens may alleviate taxation through such media as are utilized, but in the final an-) alysis the duty is that of the elected Officials and most especially that of} the legislature. Voters of the state should pay more attention to legis- lative candidates this year and send only those who will work honestly to curtail public expenditures. For years the political bosses have elected their hand-picked legislators to put over their schemes and per- petuate themselves in power without much protest from the votersand tax- payers. If those engaged now in seeking tax relief are really in earnest and want a job done well, they will put their legislative candidates on record. There is the place to stop the leaks, In a recent address before the Chi- cago Chamber of Commerce, Col. Robert R. McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, gave a scorching indictment of tax-eaters and plunder- ing political bosses. Among other things he said: “Like the nobility of royal France and pre-revolutionary England, our officeholders are a privileged class, becoming hereditary, holding sine- cures established by law. They look down upon civilians with contempt as fit only to work for the support of their masters. They dominate and exchange place with elected officers, with whom they conspire for special benefit. “Civilization could not start until the old: privileged Aristocracy was overthrown. Now it is re-established in another form and is sucking the life blood of the working werld. “If you are to exist you must tear these weasels from the throat of the nation. You will have to go into every detail of political organization ana activity. If you do less you will be. destroyed.” ‘And again, he said: “If you ask me what is the alterna- tive, I will make this statement and I ‘will continue to make it. There is not & cabinet officer, there is not 8 mem- ber of congress who can demonstrate that. one-half of the money appro- printed for any department of govern- ment je’ used for the purpose desig- I will be specific: not one- Of the money: appropriated for |condemnatory the War Department is spent to make jan army; not one-half of the money appropriated for the Navy Depart- ment is spent to build, operate, and maintain a combat fleet; not one-half of the money appropriated tor the Postoffice Department is spent to move.the mails. As for other great branches of the government—the De- \partment of Commerce, the Depart- {ment of the Interior, the Department of Agriculture are not much better than rackets. Rackets, I regret to say, which are supported by a small ele- ment of our population who are per- guaded that they are receiving from them special benefits at the expense of the general taxpayer. Mooney Denied Pardon There was little surprise at the re- fusal of a pardon for Tom Mooney. 50 |After a thorough study of the evi- dence presented, Gov. James Rolph, Jr., denies the application. The chief executive declares it is his opinion that Mooney is guilty; that his trial | was fair and there is nothing else for him to do. This decision will not bring the agi- {tation for Mooney’s release to an end Those who started the movement were influential enough to induce Mayor Walker to make a long jour- ney to plead for the freeing of Mooney. Important newspapers have taken up Mooney’s cause so the celebrated case will not end with the Rolph decision. Politics will be dragged into the controversy. The fight is more bit- ter in California because of the strug- gle between the adherents of the open and the closed shop. Certain fac- tions in the labor world have taken |up Mooney’s side while others have been cold towards him. Mooney, from his cell, declared: “This makes me the outstanding fig- ure in the world’s labor movement and a symbol of the struggle of labor for its rights.” Gov. Rolph, realizing that he will be a target for criticism from many quarters, declares that United States senators, congressmen, governors and many prominent persons, supporting Mooney, have been victims of “poison- ous propaganda” and he denies that Mooney and Billings were “represent- atives of labor.” Mooney, declares Gov. Rolph, has been for years “a thorn in the side of labor.” 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 Tribune's policies. A Catch-All Speech (New York Times) Nobody would have been disap- pointed in Governor Roosevelt's address at St. Paul if so many trum- pets had not been sounded before him on his way to make it. It was to be a fighting speech, the public was told. The glove thrown down before the Governor by Mr. Smith was to be picked up and flung back full in the face of the challenger. There was to be something of the lion's roar which the Governor put into his letter to Rabbi Wise and Dr. Holmes. But in the end the Governoc decided to roar as gently as a suck- ing dove. His speech breathed noth- ing but conciliation and compre- hensiveness. In fact, it was so hos- pitable to even contradictory politi- cal ideas that the Governor took both sides and all sides to his capacious bosom. This is not said in any scornful or pirit. Governor Roose- velt's tactics at St. Paul appear to have been the shrewdest possible for him politically. He is now distinctly the leading Democratic candidate for the Presidency. Why should he go out of his way to offend anybody? How could he hope to profit by a quarrel within the family? His ob- vious policy, as one seeking the votes of delegates to the Democratic Na- tional Convention who come from States far apart and with antagon- istic interests, is to appear as one who would be all things to all men and, by the use of kindly and benevolent yet vague language, draw to himself support from every quarter. It is not a case of imitating Carlyle’s celebrat- ed “Heayen and Hell Amalgamation Society,” but simply of composing po- litical differences and soothing po- litical hurts. In that respect the Governor's speech at St. Paul has to be set down as a marked success. . If he had thought fit to be con- crete and definite or to cite facts and figures, people would have expected him to reply to the exposure which was made of the charges in his recent radio speech. In reply to his asser- tion that the Reconstruction Finance The 1932 Championship Race Gets Away to a Bush League Start!

Yes, and in- creasing in number! has come upon them, say my inform- ants, is merely that they play for lower stakes—times being what they are! * # % A year ago one of those sporadic police clean-ups revealed a hidden and treacherous little world of barred doors, knock-out drops, raised checks, blackmail, traffic in young girls, taxi Steering and sidewalk recruiting. The unfortunate uninitiate who entered usually exited with his pockets inside out, a bashed head, or a Mickey Finn under the belt. Time and again his signature had been left behind on a blank check. Unwary tourists, tippling about town, were the most frequent victims. Or natives who don’t get around much in New York and “step out.” These are “steered” by a certain type of “gyp” taxi driver, who gets a com- mission. * Oe OK So Beware! Officially such places were classified as “closed dance halls.” In appear- ance they were miniature versions of Public dance places or night clubs. Hostesses in evering clothes sat about waiting to be asked for a dance. Vile grog was to be had in most spots. And there was a charge for everything. The size of the check, while causing quick gasps, was seldom long argued, since pug-ugly gents in waiter’s uni- form would soon begin to “close in.” Many an unlucky fellow has been Picked up from the sidew/ks by a cop, unable to recall where he had been.

But in his lofty mood of compromise and conciliation the Governor could not pay attention to such trifles. He has set out to be the great party harmonizer. He would unite East and West, North and South, in one grand brotherhood of inconclusive phrases and glittering generalities. In pursuance of that hope and policy, his public course has been shaped for some time. There is no reason to expect him to alter it now. But his friends must sometimes stop to wonder if an ingenious plan of flinging the political net so wide as to catch everything may not re- sult, as it has sometimes done in the past, in catching nothing.

Incidentally, real flowers are rarely tolerated in a stage set. They fade and die—considered symptomatic of ill fortune to the play. TODAY ANCHE By ts) } ALLIES ATTACK ZEEBRUGGE On April 23, 1918, the allies waged @ successful sea battle against the German submarine bases at Zee- brugge and Ostend. British naval forces, headed by Vice Commander Keyes, with the coopera- tion of French destroyers, succeeded in bottling up the harbor at Zee- brugge by sinking three battleship hulks at the entrance. All three were loaded with cement that became solid concrete on contact with the water. While the undertak- ing was highly successful, the allies lost 50 officers and 538 men. At Ostend the attempt to close the harbor was unsuccessful. Two ship hulks sunk in the water off the har- bor were not effectively placed, and another attempt was planned for a|ists in Russia are more sacrificially in few weeks later. Study of Albumin Often Prevents Serious Disease By DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor, Journal of the American Medical Association 2 Whenever a physician finds albu- min in the urinary excretion, he con- Siders it a finding demanding the most careful investigation. There are, of course, cases in which small amounts of albumin may ap- pear without the presence of any ser- fous disease. It has occurred in nor- mal people after violent exercise or exposure to cold. It may occur when an individual stands for a long time in one posi- tion, but the vast majority of cases are due to some disease of the kidney which, unless promptly cared for, may lead to death. The Student Health Service of the University of Minnesota has made records of examination of 20,000 men who have entered the school in re- cent years. Five per cent of these men, or approximately 1,000 of them, showed albumin in the first specimen examined and 606 of them were exam- ined for the second time. It was found that 66 per cent of these men had shown albumin on only one examina- tion. Thirteen per cent showed the al- bumin occasionally; about 12 per cent had albumin regularly in the excre- tions, and about 7 per cent had kid- ney disease. From these figures it is clear that diseases of the kidney with albumin in the urine is a rare condition among young men. In an endeavor to trace the source of the complaint, the heads of the Health Service, Drs. H. 8. Diehl and C. A. McKinley, noted marked relationship between albumin, frequent attacks of colds and a fam- ily history of kidney disease. Thev also noted a relationship between the presence of albumin and the rec- ord of previous attacks of rheumatism or scarlet fever. This should indicate the importance of making an examination of the ex- cretion at least once each year, and of special study of every case in which albumin is found. The finding of the albumin does not indicate necessarily the presence of kidney disease, but it does certainly indicate the need for investigation. Such investigation may lead to the determination of factors of import- ance in relationship to health and to life and may mean a great deal in giving extra years of healthful life to the person concerned.

HIKING THEY WOULD GO Knoxville, Tenn.—Eleven members of the Smoky Mountains Hiking club left for a week-end hike in warm, springtime weather. Soon after they started it began to rain. The rain turned to snow. The temperature dropped to 12 above zero. Blinding snow forced the party to spend the night in the mountains, and they were 24 hours getting back to shelter.

It was such a house as one Chicago’s meat-barons might bave built in the nineties—all cur- licues and hybrid ornamentation.

His arm tightened >“Good girl,” he said in her ear. _ “I knew you'd dance like this.” Susan leaned back a little to read 01 “How? “Something about the way you walk—” She was pleased, though she could not have said why. When the mu- sic ended Susan was sorry to re- turn to the table. It was rather like coming back to earth after a trip to Mars, For the first time she had a really good look at Ray’s esco:+, He had been introduced as Mr, Webb. After a moment or two fusan real’-ed who he was, the junior member of the real estate firm in whose office Ray worked. He seemed a vapid, amiable young man. He had red hair and, she discovered, had been recently grad- uated from Harvard. eee ‘ARING was at his best in the role of host. Considerate, agreeable and amusing. If the flask he carried in his pocket was emptied with alarming alacrity as the evening wore on Susan was too inexperienced to notice it. As a matter of course she refused to have her ginger ale “spiked.” War- ing’s urbanity seemed to increase and if Schuyler Webb laughed nois- ily now and then she put it down to collegiate high spirits and gave it no further thought. They ate and danced and danced again. Susan had no idea of the time. But as group after group drifted in and the smoke began to hang in clouds over the big room she was conscious of a sense of un- easiness. “Isn't it terribly late?” she mur- mured to Waring. They were danc- ing a waltz and the sensuous strains knew?” she questioned, of the music made Susap’s pulses throb, “Nonsense!” he laughed at her. “The night’s young. We've only started to play. I knew you'd be a wonderful playmate,” he whispered, “Only you were so stand-offish I never had a chance to find out.” He was holding her closely, too closely, Susan thought, her instinct sharpened and revolted for an in- stant by the scent of liquor on his breath, A moment ago he had been a quiet friend—flushed and voluble, it is true, but still a friend, Now Waring was becoming a menace, a strange man with a reddened a man who had been drinking. Su- san could see the little lines around his eyes, All of a sudden she thought of Bob Dunbar, his firm, clean, youthfulness. It was as if a clean, sweet breeze had blown across a stagnant waste. She knew with aching certainty why she had been trapped into this indiscretion. If she could not have the real thing the MOAN HUNTERS b BY MABEL. McELLIOTT she had been willing to take second best. “Really, I must go,” she pleaded. “Rose—my friend—will be waiting for me. She hasn’t @ key.” Waring smiled at her a little foolishly. “Be nice!” he muttered in an unsure voice, “Don’t spoil everything while the evening's still on the make.” eee [teomronraniy but deter- mined, Susan persisted, At last Waring, annoyed, stopped at their table and consulted his watch. The girl gasped at what she saw. “It’s 11:30,” she exclaimed. “And it will _take a good hour to get home! Whatever shall I do?” Ray reddened her lips uncon- cernedly, “Don’t crab the party, she said calmly. “It’s going good.” iserable, Susan stared at her. “Sky” Webb laughed foolishly. “Let's move along, anyhow,” he said, “Lot o’ riff-raff here. We can go to Tony's. Like Tony's better, anyhow.” ‘What followed was to be a night- mare in Susan’s memory forever. The rocketing ride in the car to another noisy scene of hilarity, the band whose unrelenting music seemed never to come to an end, the wild bursts of laughter from the crowd at the next table. White- faced, her eyes ringed in shadows as the night unwound itself, Susan surveyed the scene. If this were Pleasure, she'd be glad to take her share of misery. “IT want to go home. . . I want to go home,” she wailed in her in- most heart, although outwardly she appeared contained and calm. How blessed, from this vantage, was the thought of the white haven of her narrow room, how marvel- ously safe the tiny house on the shabby street! And what would Rose think? She would be frantic! Susan’s head began to ache. A steady, deep throb of pain, it whs. She smiled with difficulty and when she danced her feet were no longer light. What a little fool she had been! Why had she come? It was one o'clock. It was two, Through it all Ray remained pert, fresh and composed. She drank lit- tle, Ray “didn’t believe” in it. But the shifting scene did not shock or startle her, Ray was a true child of the pavements. Nothing both- ered her except the menace of un- Popularity. It was enough to hay “a date” for the evening. Where she might go or who her escort might be did not seem greatly to matter. Ray said she “knew how to take care of herself” and Susan, glancing at her, decided that prob- fap ©/952 BY NEA SERVICE inc. ably she did. ~“But I don’t belong here,” Susan decided. “This isn’t what I want. Somewhere there must be the things I've dreamed of—glamorous, romantic, places with music and gaiety that aren't cheap. This isn’t it!” ‘eee At half past two they departed. In the car Waring tried to put his arm around her but Susan shrank away, “Don't like me, eh?” His laugh sounded foolish. She forced a smile to her stift lips. She must not offend this man, “Of course, I do. But I'm nerv- ous about your driving. And it’s so dark out here.” Ray called, “Don’t worry about that. Jack’s used to one-arm driv- ing, aren’t you?” “Atta girl. Atta baby!” That was Sky. Sky was almost asleep on Ray’s shoulder. Waring’s arm remained where it was though. Su- san shrank from it. They were on the outskirts of the city now. The little, mushroom houses of the truck. gardeners huddled together. They passed a cemetery, the white stones arising up eerily in the gloom, “Tired, sweets?” Susan shook her head. The man's fingers gripped her slender arm. “You're @ nice kid and I like you but you're only half alive. Come to and enjoy yourself. Don’t be a crepe hanger!” She said, “I’m sorry you think I spoiled everything.” “That's all right.” His voice thickened, blurred again. “We'll paint the town some time, You'd be grand if you'd just let yourself Susan scarcely heard him, She was counting the blocks now, Hight —six—four—they were almost home, “The next corner,” she :.ur- mured, turning to Waring. New that the drerdful evening was end- ed she was almost effusive. To be home, safe and sound, seemed too good to be true! “Dev’t bother to get out with me,” she said hurriedly. She could see Rose's figure, a mere bivr, on the porch. Poor Rose! There would have to be a great deal of explaining. Before Susan could open the car door and slip away’she felt strong arms around her, a mouth pressed to hers, “Good night, sweet child!” Jack Waring murmured. Susan tore herself away, shaking in every limb, Oh, she hated him, she hated him for doing that! (To Be Continued) Cd CM AD
