More Improvement In Business Seen ‘While trade continued irregular in many directions last week, evidence of improvement in major branches were More numerously apparent, according to R. G. Dun and company. A better tone pervades the entire list of reports from widely-scattered districts, and the general adoption of rigid economy in management at the low-priced structure now developed is aiding the progress of commercial ac- tivity and strengthening the general financial foundation. Some retarda- tion of advancement has been the re- sult of impending governmental action relative to taxation; in industrial planning, unsettled commodity prices continue to exert a restraining in- fluence. Retail trade reveals a slight im- provement over the showing of last month, and internal adjustments are in process which are calculated to stimulate the seasonal gains anticipat- ed in the second quarter. While the movement continues at low levels, the general feeling of discouragement has given way to a more constructive atti- tude. Most retailers are becoming reconciled to smaller profits, and evince a healthier acceptance of the more stabilized current conditions. Free Cracked Wheat Expected Here Today A second carload of cracked wheat to be distributed to farmers in the Bismarck area free of charge is ex- pected here late Tuesday, according to Mrs. Fred L. Conklin, chairman of the Burleigh county chapter of the Amer- ican Red Cross. The wheat was turned over to the Red Cross from the supplies of the federal farm board to be used as re- lief feed for livestock in drought- stricken areas. In the Bismarck carload are 80,000 pounds of the grain, Mrs. Conklin said. J. P. Jackson is in charge of distribution. Included in the Bismarck area are Riverview, Burnt Creek, Naughton, Hay Creek, Gibbs, Lincoln, Apple Creek, Fort Rice, Missouri and Telfer townships. Farmers reéceiving the grain must transport it to their farms. Baseball Program for Boys Being Organized Organization of a boys’ baseball program for Bismarck this year is TITTLE BROS.

Musgjerd was invited to speak to the club in observance of the 118th anniversary of the Norse declaration. Russia, Prussia, Austria and Eng- land promised Norway to the king of Sweden in the peace treaty at Kiel, the speaker said. Norway was to ‘serve as compensation for the Swed- ish king’s services against Napoleon. The Kiel treaty forced the king of Denmark to relinquish the throne of Norway and to issue a proclamation ito the Norwegian people, urging them public offices and military forts and te become Swedish subjects. Elected Representatives The Norse, however, immediately elected 112 representatives, who ap- pealed to England for revision of the treaty, arguing that they had a right to choose their own ruler. The British government encour- aged the Norwegian assembly to write a constitution, promising to take the document into consideration in a final settlement. ‘The assembly wrote a constitution and then defied the European powers by electing a Danish prince as king of Norway. Mobilization of a Norse army followed, and, to finance the impending war, the Norwegians turn- ed in their gold and silver to the gov- ernment to be converted into money. Upon its return from the campaign against Napoleon, the Swedish army invaded Norway on Aug. 14, 1814. Meeting guerilla warfare opposition from Norse snipers, the Swedish com- mander, Crown Prince Carl Johan, divided his army, sending one part to the north. This part of the Swedish army met defeat by the Norwegians in the Battle of Lier and the whole army retired to Sweden. Armistice Is Arranged Convinced that the Norwegians were determined upon independence, representatives of the four European Powers conferred with the Norwegian parliament. The Swedish commander was urged to sign an armistice. These negotiations resulted in the abdica- tion of the newly-elected king of Nor- way, Prince Kristian Frederick of Denmark, and the king of Sweden was named king of Norway. Taking the oath of allegiance to Norway, this king created the so- called Act of Union, whereby the two countries would have nothing in com- mon except that they would have a common king. The Norse, however, did not become THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, TUESDAY, MAY 17, 1982 , People’s Forum Editor's Note.—' Tribune wel- jects of in- fF. with con- troversial religious subjects, which attack individuals unfairly, or which offend good -taste and fair play wi returned to the writers.

D. May 7, 1932. Editor, Bismarck Tribune: In your issue of May 6th, 1932, we note with pleasure that Senator Borah has awoke to the fact that it now requires the combined efforts of at least two parties before one can ‘any longer rob the American public —one to give it to them and the other to take it away. In other words, despite the fact that the congress and United States Senate are very busy devising ways and means of gathering in a few more sheckles for the banking bond- holders, Mr. Borah has had a vision of more money. It would be much easier to rob the public and hand it over to the bankers if the public gen- erally had more to be robbed of. It is a wonder that he did not have time before now to think of this, and while we do not know—and have no means at hand from which we can gather the facts—we would wager a coon-skin that Senator Borah was one of the doubting Thomases at the time that W. J. Bryan was trying to teach the people that we could use @ greater volume of money. We note in your editorial on Mr. Borah’s attitude on this matter what you say about this question having | been fought out in 1896 and you will no doubt recall just how it was then defeated. It was at that time de- feated by the same power that has already begun in 1932 to berate “fiat money,” cheap dollars. Silver dollars as large as dinner plates; good honest dollars that would stay at home wile the gold went abroad—where most of it now is. That was the argument we then got and it is being resurrected at this time by the same gold grab- bers in order to again fool the 90 per cent gullible public. The subsidized press will have people educated be- fore the end of this year to the fact that regardless of how poor one is, he must take nothing as money ex- cept that which is backed up by some of these solid banks, that fail the next day after they take in your de- posit. W. J. Bryan was a political Moses but he was at least 40 years ahead of his children of Israel. “Federal reserve system.” Why call it by this name when, in truth and fact, the Federal government doesn’t own one dollar of stock in any of the twelve federal banks? All of the stock is owned by the national banks of this country. They are given a monopoly on the medium of exchange of the U. S. A. In other words they are, by this government, duly author- ized and empowered to starve the peo- ple to death; and this winter, in this completely free until the union with Sweden was dissolved in 1905, at which time the Norwegian people chose a Danish prince, the present King Haakon VII, for their king. Otte Bowman Presided Otto Bowman presided at the luncheon meeting. H. P. Goddard, secretary of the As- sociation of Commerce, urged mem- bers of the club to attend the meeting here next Monday night at which a campaign against the railroads’ pro- posal to reopen the western rate case will be discussed. Mrs. Iver Acker, accompanied by Clarion Larson, sang two songs, “When the Fjords are Blue” (Alfred Paulson) and “Little Mountain Maid.” Guests included N. I. Roop, B. E. Jones, Ira L.

They have, in fact, gone so far in that di- rection, that we have whole families —very proud families—who had lived on potatoes alone until the situation was discovered by some of their neighbors and reported to the county} commissioners of this country. Bear in mind, too, that this was at @ time when the papers say “we have prosperity, because the banks are fairly bursting with deposits.” De- posits. Who believes that it is de- posits? As a matter of fact, isn’t it the money that the banks have realized on their securities regard- less of whether or not the debtors Starve to. death. All mankind is possessed of so much selfishness that no one can be trusted with the power a monopoly confers. Give banks a monopoly on our cir- culating medium of exchange and you had just as well give some un- scrupulous devil a monopoly upon your life's blood. Of course we need more money—it doesn't seem that we would have to ask a United States senator in order to discover that fact—but it does seem that even the school children in the fourth grade know what Pa, and Ma say, that our much deplored over- Production is simply underconsump- tion, superinduced by a lack of money with which to buy the surplus. Wouldn’t you say that the family which lived on potatoes this winter would make quite a dent in this over- production if it had enough money with which to satisfy its hunger? And then we leave the solving of such problems to such men as Secretary Mills, Secretary Mills knows just how to solve this problem. The Pathfinder, 970,000; total. stock of money in the United States, $8,306,564,064. This Statement reveals a situation more alarming than all panics and hard times to date. It reveals the meaning of truths told and warnings flown by Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln and other states- men of their day when opposing a private banking system. It reveals the dangers and wrongs condemned by Jesus Christ when the Temple of God was polluted by the presence of the money changers. The public is asked to believe that the banks can and do loan $40,460,670,000 when, in truth and fact, there are but eight U. S. A. If these generous bankers can perform such miracles as this then they could well afford to give the poor of this state a few millions of dollars, and they would never miss it. All they would have to do would be to call to their assistance some of this legerdemain and they would have it all back in their banks again. Will wonders never cease? Is it any wonder that they fight the issuance of new money? If you had a con- tract requiring that you garner into your corral all the jackrabbits of this state, and you had them all in but a very few, and then you found that some guy up in the Red river valley was dumping in another car load, would it not cause your gorge to rise? That is the situation here with the banks. They have all the gold and now if you make silver money, what @ heluvatime they will have in gath- published at Washington, D. C., states that he smokes $1.00 cigars. I pre- sume he smokes several of them each day and we will wager that he never created an honest dollar's worth of goods in his life; nor did he ever have @ pang produced by hunger. Why is it that men of his type are called in to pass judgment on the common herd? Did God endow him with the wisdom of Solomon, or is it because |they think he will find against the banking corporation of the U. S. A. In order to keep pace with the in- creased demands for money and the increase in the population of this country, we need at least 10 times as much money as we now have. How are we going to get it if we don’t make it? The Constitution says “Congress shall coin money, and reg- ulate the value thereof, and declare the value of foreign coins,” and thank God, that Constitution is in full force and effect. Now, if the congress should decide to use this power and, to say that we shall have at least 10 millions of silver dollars coined each and every month; or, better stilll, that we have free and unlimited coinage of silver, is it not true that then, in this case, silver bullion would have no commer- cial value other than its monetary value? What man would sell his sil- ver for 30 cents per ounce, the pre- vailing price, if he could have it coined into silver dollars, which would be worth 100 cents to the dol- lar. If that was to be done it would mean that the dear bankers would have to corner that silver money too, and what a devil of a job that would be. They now show that they own every dollar in the U. 8. A. and, of course, if you get one from them you will pay the interest on it at the pre- vailing rate, so they are safe so far as this gold money is concerned. Here is the bankers’ sworn statement: cap- ital stock paid in $3,899,419,000; sur- plus and undivided profits, $6,123,- 803,000; loans, $40,460,670,000; deposits, | +$59,847,195,000; cash on hand, $865,-| ering it all into their coffers and tills.

L. Powell, member of the board of direc- tors. In a report on the activities of the association during the play year from October to May, Powell said the or- ganization has 110 active members. “All of these members are not par- ticipants in the actual productions,” Powell said. “The group is split up at present into a play-reading group, a Play-producing group, and a group of interested non-participants who be- long because they believe it to be for the good of the citizens of our com- munity. For these people we plan to organize a directors’ group, a stage managers’ group, and a stage music group.” Anyone may belong, he said. During the season the Community Players gave three programs, includ- “Will you let me kiss you for a penny ?” “A penny! Why, I get more than that for taking castor oil.” A fire loss now might be harder for you to face than castor oil used to be! And yet a few pennies more now for complete insurance may save you from loss later. MURPHY “The Man Who Knows Insurance” 218 Broadway BISMARCK Phone 577 have been made, he said.
