ey WILDWOOD HAS HGH LEVEL THIS SEASON Plentiful Rain and Water From Missouri Help Lake in M’Lean County Wildwood Lake, located between Washburn and Wilton, has more wa- ter in it this summer than it has had for the last three years, Hugh McCul- loch, Washburn attorney, sald in Bis- marck Monday. Plentiful rains and a ditch carrying flood waters from the Missouri River to the lake are responsible for the Jake's high level this year, he said, The ditch, seven feet deep and sev- en feet wide, was dug to the river, about a quarter of a mile from the Jake, last year. McCulloch predicted that Wildwood will be the leading resort in this dis- trict this summer. Camp Chan Owapi, Boy Scout camp, is located on the shores of this lake. Dances are held in a pavilion there during the summer and more than a dozen cot- | tages have been constructed along the shores. Wildwood has considerable fish, mostly perch, pike, and catfish, Two launches, several motorboats, and more than a score of rowboats are be- aa at the lake now, McCulloch 5a People’s Forum Tribune wel- bjecta of in- ng with con. ubjects, which unfairly, | or taste and fair turned Us’ signed. idonym, ind your will re- a 'm fir: own name beneath it.

Editor, Tribune: We notice that the “Taxpayers’ As- sociation” has requested the city com- mission to put their house in order Preparatory to meeting with the in- vestigating committee of the “associa- tion.” We have heard it often discussed as to why, when there is no shortage of competent help who are taxpayers living in the city, the city commission should employ one man at a liberal salary and then load onto him several jobs carrying several fat salaries? Why would it not be better and fairer to employ one man at a reasonable wage for each job, thus taking care of several families comfortably in- stead of one in affluence and leaving the others in penury. Then again, why these favorites in our city, county and state? We have resided in the city for years and have noticed that the same people are fav- ored with the hand-out jobseach time, even down to the jurymen. Why should two or three members of one family pull down fat salaries from the state, county or city, when other tax- payers get nothing? In line with the “Taxpayers Associa- tion's” request, we would ask that the city employees be listed plainly, from the president of the city com- mission down to the dog-catcher, and the salaries of each, and where one man fills different positions that they be named with amount of salaries for each position held. If this is done, every taxpayer can see and understand why the high tax- es they are paying on their property, and we think that it is no more than right that we should know. A TAXPAYER. CANADA’S LIQUOR PROBLEM Bismarck, N. D., May 5, 1932. Editor, Tribune: Those who think that we should adopt the Canadian system of deal- ing with the liquor problem probably have not investigated the facts re- garding the liquor problem in Can- ada. 1923 was the year in which there was the nearest approach to prohibi- tion in Canada and in that year the amount of liquor consumed in Canada was 38,283,749 gallons. By 1930, un- der the system of so-called govern- ment control, which, as a matter of fact, would more properly be called a combination of government sale and private sale, the consumption of li- quor had increased to 172,478,421 gal- lons, an increase of 89 per cent. If conditions are not satisfactory in North Dakota, and we all agree that they are not satisfactory under pro- hibition, what reason is there to think going to the Canadian system under which liquor consumption increased 89 per cent in seven years? These fig- the Dominion bureau of statistics. ‘The above figures do not include all of the liquor that is consumed in Can- ada because it does not include home brew and whisky made by moonshin- ers. Those who complain about the fact that the prohibition law is not enforced as well as it should be, but who in reality want more liquor in- stead of less, talk as though it was prohibition that made the moon- shiners and bootleggers. If they will just investigate Canada they will find the bootleggers are a problem there, too. In 1923, when Consce had oe nearest approach to prol ever had, there were in Canada 10,088 convictions for liquor law violations. In 1929, under so-called government control which does not control, there were 19,327 convictions for liquor law violations, an increase of 91 per cent|for the Indian.

The reason we have prohibition is “In France the political caldron seethes and bubbles with uncertainty; Russia hangs as usual, like a cloud, dark and silent upon the horizon of Europe; while all the energies, re- sources and influence of the British Empire are sorely tried, and are yet to be tried more sorely, in coping with the vast and deadly Indian insurrec- tion, with its disturbed relations in “It isasolemn moment, andno man. can feel an indifference (which, hap- pily, no man pretends to feel) in the issue of events. “Of our own troubles no man can see the end. They are, fortunately, as yet mainly commercial; and if we are only to lose money, and by pain- ful poverty to be taught wisdom—the wisdom of honor, of faith, of sym- pathy and of charit riously to despair, And yet the very haste to be rich, which is the occa- sion of this widespread calamity, has also tended to destroy the normal forces with which we are to resist and subdue this calamity. After reading the above quotation, you will unhesitatingly say that it is ® perfect picture of conditions as they exist today, in the year of 1932. But, lo and behold, the above quotation is ly another evidence of the fact that “history repeats itself,” and the quotation and extract reproduced above was not written as applicable to conditions in 1932, but was written 75 | years ago as applicable to conditions in the year 1857. The article above quoted appeared in Harper’s Weekly, dated Oct. 10, 1857. So please bear in mind that the above article was written 75 years ago when conditions were just as depres- sing as now. Since that time, how- ever, we have had many eras of pros- perity and each prosperous era has proved greater than the preceding one But let us delve further into the pages of history to ascertain condi- tions in this nation in other eras of depression. I quote as follows: “A long continuance of distress has had a bad efefct on the morality of the country. The vast number of fail- ures takes away the odium. The farmer has become as poor as a rat. He cannot pay the storekeeper, and the storekeeper cannot pay the manu- facturer.” Extract from the letter of an American banker written to a cor- respondent in England, in the year 1818—114 years ago. “Bankruptcy and ruin, at the an- ticipation of which the heart sickens, must follow the long train of evils which are assuredly before us.” Ex- tract from speech of Senator Clayton of Delaware in the year 1837—95 years ago. “A people furnished with all the means necessary to happiness, with Plenty of food and all the elements of prosperity—and yet completely par- alyzed—distrusting and distrustful— see their riches take to themselves wings and fly away. God grant that we may be guided wisely in matters we cannot escape.” Extract from a speech delivered by Samuel Hurd Walley in the year 1858—74 years ago. ‘The nations of the world have overstocked themselves with machin- ery and manufacturing plants far in excess of the wants of production. Though the discovery of new processes of manufacture will undoubtedly con- tinue, it will not leave room for marked extension such as has been witnessed during the last 50 years. The day of large profits is probably past.” Extract from official report of the U. 8S. commissioner of labor in the year 1886—46 years ago. “From the ruins of their own for- tunes people look out on bankrupt farms, bankrupt cities, bankrupt counties and bankrupt states.” Ex- tract from address of Grover Cleve- land, president of U. S., in the year 1893—39 years ago. ‘Thus the voice of history speaks to us from these five different eras of depression in the past, but history also records that each of these eras of “hard times” were invariably followed by a greater era of prosperity and “good times,” during which the les- sons of the depression were largely lost and forgotten in the glorious times that followed.

The little plants grew bigger and big: ger until some of them stood with their tops almost in the clouds. Many varieties there were of these plants and some proved useful, and some ornamental. How many of you like to eat nuts and apples and pears and peaches. bananas and figs and dates and ma- ple syrup? So long, long ago we took the seeds of all these kinds of fruits of trees and planted them in the ground and more and more trees grew; so now you have forests and orchards and groves for the boys to have picnics in and the treasure that was buried in the earth ages ago has now become an everlasting treasury from which you can get all these good things.

It is one of the finest examples of pic- ture making seen here. From the standpoint of sheer melo- drama, it is unsurpassed. Thrills fol- low thrills in rapid succession. It moves at a tremendous pace, and it builds logically and convincingly to a startling climax without a single false note to mar the tempo and finesse of its deftly constructed and brilliantly photographed plot. “Scarface” is no pink-tea affair, as can well be imagined, coming from Howard Hughes, famed for his film achievements. It is a bold, vivid and sensational treatment of a subject which has become one of America’s major so- cial problems. Its effect on public sentiment will be overwhelming.

An appeal to Bismarck merchants to make greater use of the free park- ing lots in the business section of the city was made Monday by H. P. God- dard, secretary of the Association of Commerce. Goddard said he was disappointed over the week-end when so few busi- nessmen made use of the lots, with the consequent lack of parking space on streets for the use of visitors. The idea behind the preparation of the lots, he said, was to keep the streets open for customers of local stores and visitors as far as posible. Merchants may park their machines in the free lots near their business establishments with very .little trouble, he said. motion-picture industry, and a great personal triumph for its courageous young producer.
