This newspaper believes that each candidate should stand on his own merits and hopes that each will be frank and fair in presenting his views. If clear-cut differences sometimes create heat in politics they also make for sharply defined decisions. In these troublous times, would be a benefit in itself. The Tribune hopes to assist in clarifying the issues as they are presented and one which seems to justify consideration at this time is that raised by the attempt to apportion responsibility for the public debt. To date the plaint has come wholly from the I. V. A. faction and largely from Frank H. Hyland, candidate for governor. It has been the burden of his campaign speeches to date and in his recent address here Mr. Hyland said he expected to devote a large share of his political words to it during the campaign. Speaking at a political rally in Devils Lake, the Associated Press quotes him as saying: “I have been with the people of the lake region of North Dakota for 30 years, I know the political situ- ation and men who have served in our state government and I am sincerely opposed to the state entering in business.” In most respects Mr. Hyland is modern and up to date, but in politics he insists on ghost fighting. The state has before it now no question of having the government enter further into business. It has not had for 10 years. i with pussy-footing the rule rather than the exception, this result of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in this newspaper and also the local news of spontaneous origin published herein.

(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives ®MALL, SPENCER, BREWER (incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Have We Outgrown It? ‘After the recent exhibition in Washington in which a bi-partisan coalition of senators rolled some new tariffs into the revenue act, it is dif- ficult to see how the tariff can well be an issue in the coming presiden- tial campaign. Nevertheless, it prob- ably will be and the people will have to decide upon it, along with prohi- bition, agricultural aid, economic re- Nef, budget balancing and a score of other issues. ‘The very fact that everyone seems to have adopted the idea of a pro- tective tariff, however, gives rise to the question if, after all, it is quite as good a thing for us now as it has been in the past. ‘The last decade has brought many changes to the world and to Ameri- ca’s status in international affairs. May not the nation’s policy of com- mercial relationships with the rest of the world well be changed with the times? When the Smoot-Hawley bill was passed by congress two years ago, its advocates asserted that within 60 days after it took effect everything would be on the up grade; that Presi- dent Hoover's dream of “two cars in every garage and a chicken in every pot” would at once be realized. The working of the Smoot-Hawley act presents a spectacle too grisly for comment. No one need be told how miserably it has failed. There are some indications that the effect of the present law has been inimical to the welfare of the coun- try, for, whatever the reason, our) foreign trade has dwindled steadily} to less than half of what it was at the 1929 peak. Labor experts esti- mate that unemployment for 2,500,000 | persons in the United States is due! to this cause alone. There are prospects that we will be still further damaged by contin- ued curtailment of our foreign busi- | ness. England went off the gold! Standard as much to stimulate trade / with other nations which could not | pay in gold as to protect its own gold reserves. It now is entering into| commercial treaties with many na-| tions, beginning with those off the! gold standard, whereby tariff bars will be eliminated or lowered in ex- change for similar privileges. Eng-| land is perfectly willing to go on a free-trade basis with those who will reciprocate. South American countries are com- ing into this arrangement and much{ of our trade with the southern hem- isphere is slipping. This is not wholiy due to England's | activities. It is partly due to resent-{ ment at the action of the United States in jacking up the tariff rates so they cannot sell to us the only things they have to offer in exchange | for our goods. As a result of this! feeling, many nations have increased the tariffs on things we sell to them and have left the bars down on items} which they receive from other na- dons. Among the nations in the British) empire, a special arrangement has been set up which has sent hundreds | of American enterprises to Canada’ within the last few years. The Ca-| nadian plants of American manufac- turers escape the duties which tar-| iffs directe.! against plants in the/| United States set up—and afford em- ployment to Canadian workers. Analysis of our tremendous foreign | trade during the 10 years following 1920, shows that most of our deal- ings were with those nations to which = » of treaties which have been negotiated within the last 10 years. ‘These contain what are known as the -favored nation” clause and preelude our showing favoritism to i If Mr. Hyland's declaration were to the effect that he opposes the state’s continuing in the businesses it already has, there ‘would be a sharp, clearly-defined issue. When he substitutes the word “continuing” for “entering” in his frequent declarations on this subject, his ideas will carry more weight with the electorate. Until then he is talking about something which is not in issue, has not been for 10 years and will not be until someone gathers courage enough to make a campaign on the only issue which the so-called industrial program leaves to us. Hyland stands in this campaign on a platform which, briefly Stated, is this: “We are against these things in principle but we are glad to have them. We do not believe they can be successfully operated but we want the people of the state to let us coniinue them under our management.” It is true that Candidate Hyland opposed the creation of the state industries we have, but that record was made 13 years ago. It is hardly a modern issue. In the time that has elapsed ample opportunity has been offered to attempt repeal of the fundamental laws creating them. Has Hyland ever offered any bill to that effect in the legislature? ‘The record shows that Hyland and his friends have publicly condemned the enterprises which they sought to manage but upon which they have lacked the courage to take a definite stand. Their right hand holds the reins of government over the state mill and elevator, Bank of North Dakota and any smaller remnants of the industrial program. Their left hand is plunged deep into the Townley bait can which made these things possible. Hyland and his friends are making much of the debt which has heaped upon the state government in the last 12 years, and it is a Staggering sum. On another page of this issue of The Tribune, there appears a compilation, made by the Associated Press, of the increases in the State’s bonded indebtedness since 1908. Data was obtained from the state treasurer's office. At the end of 1921, with Governor Nestos in power immedi- diately following the recall election on October 28 of that year, fhe bonded indebtedness totaled $2,367,300. We had not traveled very far on the path toward the “New Day” which the Nestos adherents had derided but which they also seemed to accept as inevitable. In any event, they proceeded along the dim trail which their political opponents had marked out for themselves. The Nonpartisans had encountered difficulty in selling the state's bonds, so their successors plunged into this work with gusto. Governor Nestos went to New York and made his famous speech in the very shadows of Wall Street. It restored financial confi- dence in the state and the bonds went like hot cakes, $4,480,900 of them, to be exact, in 1922, Thus, in the first year of the Nestos administration the state's bonded indebtedness was increased nearly 200 per cent. A good beginning having been made, the bond sellers hit their Stride in 1923 and sold $5,543,800 worth more. The final mad dash to the tape in 1924 saw some real salesmanship. An additional $7,467,000 worth of bonds were sold that year and the state's debt reached the amazing total of $20,059,000, an increase of $17,691,700 in the state's bonded indebtedness during the Nestos administra- tion. And this despite the fact that the recall election had been fought out on the basis that Nestos would halt the Nonpartisan program and save the state from the financial perils which threatened. With 1925 came the Sorlie administration, lasting four years. During that time (1925 to 1928 inclusive) the bonded debt mounted $14,798,500 to $34,857,500. But even here the responsibility rested with the I. V. A. mem- bers of the industriai commission, George F. Shafer and Joseph A. Kitchen, who controlled the commission and made the bond sales. In 1929 came the Shafer administration, elected to office after an “anti” campaign in which debt reduction again was promised. But the old bait can was too tempting. Shafer's left hand, too, strayed. His first year brought a reduction in the bonded indebted- ness of $250,300 and at last it appeared that the long-looked-for day of salvation had arrived. But hope was short-lived; 1930 saw a boost of $1,751,000 and 1931 recorded a further lift of $3,999,000 to the all-time peak of $40,357,200. This year of grace has seen the debt-building business continued at near the accelerated pace of 1931 and the end is not yet. It will be seen, therefore, that the bonded indebtedness of the State has increased $37,989,900 in the 10 recorded years since 1921. During all of that time the I. V. A. faction has had control of the agency which created the debt. During the last two years it has had conrol of both branches of the legislature.

We cannot adopt the sys-/ tem which is beginning to restore English trade. Many of these trea- ties have considerable time to run. Some will not expire until 1938. The arguments against lowering the tariff are, of course, so well known as to need no explanation, but the one about the standard of living in the United States is falling of its cwn weight. The standard of those millions who are out of work has skidded to almost nothing. We can- not fool ourselves about that and it serves no good purpose for us to at- tempt it.

AUTOINFECTION CAN HAPPEN BUT SELDOM DOES ‘The other day we settled the ghastly autointoxication obsession, so far as the health of our readers is concerned, by showing that from the scientific point of view (physiology and pathol- ogy) injury or poisoning of the body by its own excretions is impossible as long as one is able to be up and about. This is not an idle assertion. I make it only after many years of careful study of the questions involved, and I assure you I can’t afford to make rash assertions which competent med- ical critics or others may be able to refute. From time to time something I say or teach here does clash fright- fully with the traditional theory or belief of the general medical profes- sion, particularly the older practition- er’s view, and this naturally tempts a poor but honest doctor here and there to commit himself a bit hastily upon my insanity. But nevertheless I go blithely on, abating my stand not more than a jot or tittle, for after all you see my assertion bears as much weight as the assertion of another doctor, un- less he can bring to his support some scientific evidence. Today we crave to relieve the cas- ual reader's mind of another delusion which, I regret to say, is fostered by too many medical “authorities” who are in the habit of writing or speak- ing so much that they lack the spare time for studying and thinking. The nasty little notion of autoinfection is the delusion scheduled for demolition today, doctors and friends. In an argument this autoinfection idea gets the old timer out of many a tight place. However skillfully you maneuver to isolate him or rather his hypothetical patient far from the haunts of men and then challenge him to bring on a hypothetical cold by exposing the hypothetical patient to imaginary cold and wet, he can in- variably draw the rabbit out of the silk hat, all in fancy, by assuming ical “resistance” of the hypothetical victim and in that state the h. v. be- comes easy prey for the suppositious germs every respectible hypothetical potential patient traditionally carries on or in his person. A tolerably ver- satile hypothetical patient always has with him a fine assortment of patho- genic samples—such as pneumonia germs, tonsilitis germs, typhoid, diph- therla—oh, oh, not diphtheria, we must be careful about that, for even the dumbest laymen look askance at the doctor who would transmute an alleged cold into diphtheria. It is a beautiful and most conven- ient little trick, this autoinfection no- tion, and it helps to smooth the path for many of our foremost health authorities, federal, state or provincial and municipal, enables them to get out a lot of writing or speeches with- out the boredom of much studying or thinking. The only drawback about it is that no one has ever proved by experiment or even brought forward any scientific evidence to support the theory that an individual may be made ill by germs he habitually car- FLAPPER, FANNY SAYS: that the exposure lowers the theoret- | ries in his nose, throat or other body cavity. The peculiar and character- istic fact about known germ “carriers” (such as typhoid carriers or diphtheria carriers) is that they themselves are immune to the germs they give off, but other persons may contract the disease.

Answer—Send 10 cents in coin and a stamped envelope bearing your ad- dress, and ask for “Guide to Right Eating.” I think the injection treat- ment in the hands of a reliable phy- sician is an excellent method, and rather safer than the old-fashioned crude surgical operation for hemorrh- ‘oids.

The city lay far flung beneath them, a spangle of lights to north and south. His complacence was momentar- ily disturbed by the look she flashed at him. There was some thing unsettling about that look. “She behaves as though she were afraid of me,” the man thought in surprise, He was very gentle. “Your aunt’s coming back on Sat- urday, isn’t she?” he went on. “Well then, why couldn’t we have @ very quiet ceremony the follow- ing Monday and sail from New York next morning?” ‘With an effort Susan managed to keep her ‘hand from trembling.
