DEMOGRATIC PLAN OF CAMPAIGN Is GIVEN TO PUBLIC Party Will Assist State Organi- zations Rather Than Try to Direct Them New York, July 20.—()—The cam- fpaign to elect Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt president will be run, as ‘was the campaign to nominate him, through the state organizations, James A. Farley, Democratic national chair- man, announced Wednesday. There will be a campaign commit- tee, located at the Roosevelt head- quarters in New York, but it will as- sist and cooperate with the state or- ganizations rather than attempt to direct them, Farley said. For the campaign there will be only one national headquarters, located in New York City. There will be no branch headquarters aside from the regular headquarters in each state. The office established in Washing- ton by the last national committee will continue to function as a perma- nent organization of the national committee, Farley said. It was said, however, that it would be run with a skeletonized staff. Farley said the governor had ap- pointed him chairman of the cam- paign committee. The personnel of the committee has not yet been made up. Farley said representatives from every section of the country would at all times be at headquarters here. It was understood the plan is to ro- tate these visitors, each one spending a week or 10 days at a time in New York and then being replaced by someone else. “The finances for the campaign,” Farley said, “will be raised by a spe- cial finance committee, the members of which will be announced later.” “Every effort will be made to cut down unnecessary expense, and alt departments and bureaus which can- not justify themselves will be elim- inated in the central headquarters.” Former Governor Nellie Taylor Ross, of Wyoming, vice chairman of the national committee, will be ai the head of the women's organization as she was in 1928, Farley said.

THIRTY CENT DOLLARS Bismarck, N. D., July 17, 1932. Editor, Tribune: The editorial, “Rise and Walk” as printed in a re- cent issue of the Tribune contains much good common sense. Among other things the writer declares dol- lars are being sold for 30 cents. If this is true, what about the stagger- ing toll of farm indebtedness for which creditors are still demanding 100 cents on the dollar, together with high interest rates? To be sure, the farmer's dollar has shrunk to 30 cents or even below that figure, but his debts still re- main stationary. Taxes are being slowly reduced—too slowly we fear, and only upon the people’s demand that something be done about the matter. Why shouldn't the farmers through their powerful organizations demand the scaling down of their indebtedness to meet present condi- tions and their ability to pay? Is there any reason at all for farmers continuing to pay high fictitious prices for everything they have. prices which prevailed and were con- tracted for in times of plenty, and when farm products sold for several times what they bring today? More and more our thoughtful writers and economists are calling our attention to the fact that present conditions of unemployment and starvation on the one hand and a bloated plutocracy on the other can- “not continue. That unless some- thing is done, and that quickly, we are going to have an actual revolu- tion on our hands. Let us not think that, because our present government has continued as long as it has, that it can endure under any and all conditions. Re- member it is only for the past gen- eration or so that we have had Am- -erican millionaires and_ billionaires. in our grandfather's time, million- ares Ww comparatively scarce and Today we have several billionaires, and men who possess several billions outright. Wealth, in itself perhaps, is not wrong, but wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, wealth that is used not for the good of the whole people but for their subjection and persecution, is not only wrong, it 8 intolerable. I believe a mistake was made in e first place by our government hen it permitted a man to amass y sized fortune without let or hin- ance if, in so doing, the great com- mass of people was robbed. To- y, it is practically impossible for lyone, even the government, to mpel rich men to disgorge. They so thoroughly intrenched behind pial privilege they have our courts our laws at their command. hhave even been known to bribe ® highest officials, thus proving upre is graft and corruption even ini the so-called “temples of justice.” 4 Some appear to think that only a d revolution can bring back to the je the heritage they have lost, only through bloodshed can they the right to liberty and the it of happiness, but we believe tter method lies in the weight of ballot. Through it, the people still exercise their rights and e their just demands be heeded. / want no revolution in America as France went through before people gained their independ- % the Bourbons are bringing just kind of a thing nearer every their intolerant attitude to- the masses. an Bourbons are every whit feeling and unsympathetic to- whe poor as were the French ts before their fall. Perhaps ntry does not owe every man as some claim, but it at least owes every citizen within its borders the right and opportunity to make a living for himself and his family, and when I say “living” I mean just that, not merely a hand- to-mouth existence from day to day, not the licking up of the crumbs from under the tables of the rich. Such a living, if it can be called that is repugnant to every red-blooded American. “North Dakotan.” HE WANTS TO KNOW Bismarck, N. D., July 16, 1932, Editor, Tribune: The Tribune of July 15th carried the story of the proposed budget of the city com- missioners for 1932-1933 tax levy. As a taxpayer may I inquire the meaning of the term, “General Ex- penditures Show Decrease.” Under item A. — “General Government Board of City Commissioners, Audi- tor, Treasurer, Attorney, Assessor, Engineer, Police Magistrate, Insur- ance, City Hall, etc. Expenditures for 1931-1932, $18,631.67, estimated for 1932-1933, $15,205.00 (a decrease of $3,426.67). How much of the esti- mated levy of $15,205.00, for the com- ing year, goes for salaries for the sev- eral officials mentioned, and how much for Insurance, City Hall, etc. A CITIZEN. Bismarck, N. D., July 19, 1932. Editor, Tribune: In looking over the Tribune of Mon- day we noticed the first piece on the editorial page regarding the city buget. We heartily agree with the sentiment expressed in that article. It would be possible to make cuts on item after item and still continue the same force of city employes at the same salaries, while employes of pri- vate firms and corporations have had to accept very decided cuts in their wages. As taxpayers we would like to see @ list of every employe and his wages, also whether any are holding down one or more jobs with either city or private pay attached to them during this depression. We feel that there are not jobs enough to go round, consequently the city should provide jobs for the job- ‘less in so far as possible and not bur- den one man with two or more jobs and salaires. A TAX PAYER. Four Policemen Held On Charge of Murder Mineola, N. Y., July-20.—()}—War- rants were issued for 13 county po- licemen Wednesday in connection with the death of Hyman Stark, a prisoner, who died after lengthy po- lice “questioning.” Four of the war- rants charged second-degree murder. The officers charged with second- degree murder are Lieut. Jesse May- forth and Sergeants Leslie Pearsall, Harry Zander and Charles Wesser. All 13 policemen were charged with conspiracy to obstruct justice and seven of them were charged with sec- ond-degree assault. Deputy Police Chief Frank Tahpen was named in two warrants, once for neglect of duty and again as having been an acces- sory to the third-degree beating of Stark which caused his death. All 13 were arrested in the court- room where a John Doe hearing into the slaying was in progress. They were turned over to the sheriff, who was instructed to treat them just like any other prisoners. oe ae | Woman Duplicates ‘ | Husband’s Pet Act i Witsiclacidas cout ae edi asta Chicago, July 20. — (®) — Mrs. Florence Jarvis, whose husband told police he could locate her if he could reach her subconscious mind, saved him the necessity of @ search by appearing at the de- tective bureau Tuesday. “He's a professional magician and I got so tired of his disap- pearing act,” she told officers, “that I decided to do one of my own. However, it wasn't $160 I took but $92.” She posted a $1,000 bond and said she would fight extradition to Wisconsin, where they had re- sided at Lake Geneva.

D., July 20.—()}—The importance of agricultural education was stressed by Dr. John H. Worsi: of Fairview, Mont., former president of the North Dakota Agricultural col- lege, in a talk before the annual pic- nic of the future farmers of America at Wilson’s Grove near here. “The most important problem for the future farmer to learn is the mathematical problem of subtracting expenses from income so as always to leave a balance,” he said.

Williston’s School Budget Is Reduced Williston, N. D., July 20.—(4)—The tentative budget for the general ex- penses of the Williston city schools has been fixed at $72,100, a reduction of about $15,000 as compared with last year's cost of operation. The saving is accomplished by abolishing three teaching positions and eliminating two music teachers, by making a cut of 10 per cent in Salaries and by various other eco- nomies. The savings are not sufficient to meet the curtailment necessary be- cause of the lowered valuation, and a further cut of at least $5,000 will be necessary, unless the situation is re- lieved by liberal payments of delin- quent taxes.
