(Official City, State and County Newspaper) Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER (Incorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Voters Should Be on Guard Success of certain initiated meas- ures at the June primaries has given their advocates courage to propose more laws, most of which are of doubtful value to the taxpayers. In days like these, when the pressure of | economic conditions is so evident, voters do not act as they would in normal times. It is unfortunate that a certain clique has seized upon this situation to force legislation at the ballot box which can be more care- fully and more safely handled in the legislative halls. ‘The initiative and referedum pro- visions of North Dakota's statutes were never intended to supplant leg- islative action. It was the intention of the lawmakers and the people of this state, when such instruments of law were adopted, to use them rarely and most guardedly. Indiscriminate | - use of the initiative and referendum may result not in freedom of action but tyranny imposed by an active and presumptuous minority. Most that is proposed under the guise of tax reduction is nothing of the kind. Voters must be on their guard now that the new weapon has been adopted to force laws upon the statute books that could find a place there in no other way. There are times, probably, when recourse to the initiative and refer- endum as a club or a curb may be justifiable. Such instances are ex- tremely rare and should actuate the electorate only after most careful consideration. It is not so long before North Da-| rials and manufactures. British mar- kotans will be asked to vote upon some 13 initiated measures. None of them involves any matter of great import to the voters nor raises an issue that cannot be handled better at a session of the legislature. j Bismarck paid out some $10,000 re- cently to oppose a movement to move the capital from this city. This only represents a portion of what that contest cost the electorate of this state. Examination of election ex- penses will disclose that initiative ballots are costly affairs. i Representatives are elected and under oath to come to Bismarck every two years to study and delib- erate on matters involving the peace, health and safety of this state. Law- making can best be left to them} Yather than to, private cliques with- cut mandate from anyone. This fall election is a good time for the voters of the state to smite hip and thigh those active in load- ing down the ballot with various kinds of nondescript laws. It is a dangerous trend in this state and in the haste of misdirected action some Jaw will be enacted that may curse! its makers. Such happened in June. The farmers are seeking now to undo the evil effects of a law outlawing crop mortgages. Seeking to control the machinery of credits in this man- ner is most foolish and ill-advised. Despite the fact that the farmers protected the credit of the state in June and defeated the vicious mora- torium act, the same kind of legisla- tion in a modified form makes it ap- pearance again. Efforts to defeat this type of legislation will have to ‘be redoubled. Its adoption would be a ‘blot upon the good reputation of this state. Few entitled to credit exten- sions fail to get them and even if this is not true in all instances, adoption of a moratorium is no way “to correct the situation. It will only ageravate the matter and make the Jot of the borrower doubly hard. Signing of petitions should be dis- couraged in the future. That racket has been overworked in this state. Now is no time for the voters of the state to pull any more chestnuts out of the fire for a few interested per- sons with axes to grind. Let your 00 i i 2.00 | on the November ballot as a protest against those who are abusing a privi- lege. , If the practice is encouraged at every election no one can tell what the end will be. Experience has shown that the net results are not at all beneficial to the people of the state. Voters cannot be informed as ‘to the demerits of these measures in the short timc tefcre elect: Many will vote blindly without even read- ing the various sections proposed. To say the least, the situation is déplor- able and those who have the interest {of the state at heart will check the j tendency now. A Solution for China’s Ills China's ills have long disturbed the world, and after nearly 20 years of {almost constant revolution and bat- tling, seem just about as far from a permanent solution as they were when Sun Yat Sen first began ex- perimenting with democracy in the Far East. But there is at least a ray of hope in the suggestion recently made by T. V. Soong, minister of finance and one of the leading figures in China. His suggestion is that the Nanking government start taxing the foreign concessions within China’s vast do- mains and use the money obtained therefrom to promote a stable gov- ernment, stamp out communism by educational methods, and to promote economic development. One of China's great problems has always been the raising of sufficient money to carry on the work of gov- ernment. The real reason for this situation has been that the richest parts of the nation—the foreign concessions—paid no federal taxes. American and British investors in China have no more right to go tax free than have Americar’ and British concerns in Argentina or Canada. And if Mr. Soong's suggestion 1s finally adopted, a long step forward will have been taken—a step looking to the emergence of China as a greater nation, able to buy and sell more goods, to pay her debts, and hold up her head in world affairs.

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. The Empire Conference (New York Times) Four weeks ago the Imperial Con- ference met at Ottawa to revive Brit- ish trade, but not to build a Chinese Wall around the Empire. On this point Canadian and British delegates were emphatic. Premier Bennett de- clared at the first meeting that “while the trading potentialities of the Em- pire are great, even one-quarter of the human race cannot profitably shut itself off from contact with the rest of the world.” Mr. Baldwin was still more specific: “Let us remem- ber that any action we take here is bound to have its reactions clse- where.” 3 These opinions were based on a realistic appraisal of the ability of the Empire to absorb its own raw mate- kets may furnish an outlet for three- fourths of the exports of New Zea- land and South Africa; but Australia must go outside the Empire to sell half its surplus goods; Canada, India and the United Kingdom, to sell about two-thirds. The question at Ottawa, therefore, was how to establish pref- erences within the Empire which would not jeopardize still more im- portant trade outside. In the proposals originally submit- ted, the United Kingdom sought a larger market for manufattures, par- ticularly of iron, steel and textiles; the Dominions in turn sought to per- suade the United Kingdom to con- tinue after Nov. 15 the preferences which their lumber, wheat, meats and dairy products enjoy until that date, under the new British tariff. Osten- sibly, the two plans were complemen- tary: a proposed bargain between manufactures on one side and raw materials on the other. Actually, the questions raised were more complex. Not only were there conflicting in- terests within each segment of the Empire: Canadian textile manufac- turers, for example, were reluctant to repeal Dominion tariffs on British cotton goods; in addition, the pro- posed exchange of preferences neces- sarily raised questions affecting the large volume of trade outside the Em- pire, Wherever the delegates at Ottawa turned, they found such questions. It was difficult for British spokesmen to accept South Africa’s plea to divert to her the United Kingdom's present purchases of chilled beef in Argen- tina; with more than two billion dol- lars of British capital invested in Ar- gentina, the maintenance of that country’s export trade is an impor- tant matter for British bond owners. It was equally difficult to raise tar- iffs against Scandinavian dairy prod- ucts, as the Australian delegates pro- posed; for the Scandinavian trade is| highly competitive and British indus- try will find it profitable to retain liberty of action in arranging recip- rocal agreements. The Canadian de- mand for an embargo against Rus- sian “dumping” was advanced as sound policy and good patriotism; but Russian sales provide exchange used to purchase goods on whose manu- facture British workmen are depend- ent for employment. At these points, and at many others, the Imperial Conference found itself involved in complex questions which transcend even the wide frontiers of the British Empire. TOPPING IT OFF Salt Lake City—That Texas is the land of wide open spaces is vouched for by William E. Day, superin' dent of physical education in local LEMONS AND STRAWBERRIES An osteopath contributes the fol- lowing interesting report: Yor years I was unable to’eat strawberries on account of devel- oping a severe oxaluria. THe trouble came only in the summer- time during the strawberry sea- son. veral years ago I learned that taking lemon juice I could eat all the strawberries I wished without any trouble. The theory is that the acid of the citrus fruit combines ‘with the calcium to prevent the form- ation of calcium oxalate crystals. cium out of action by forming a soluble double salt. Whether the chemistry is right I don't know, but I do know that some of my patients as well as myself now eat all the strawber- ries we wish without suffering | unpleasant effects, simply by | taking our lemonade with the | same meal. It is a delightful bev- erage on a hot summer day. is is not an original concep- tion of mine. I read it in an old book, “Physiological Principles,” by W. L. Brown (Wm. Wood & Co.) which I have had for many years. I submit this in the hope that it may benefit some of your many readers, (Signed with the doctor's name.) Here is one colleague who believes in oxaluria. I am not prepared to assert, in my usual arbitrary way, that there is no such thing, but at best oxaluria is an obscure condition if not wholly hypo- thetical. By oxaluria the doctors mean the presence of crystals of calcium ox- alate in the urine. Normally the oxalic acid content of the urine is small, less than one-half grain a day. There may be 10 times as much ox- alic as that in one good helping of spinach, asparagus, rhubarb, or even strawberries. But most of us can! take care of that and more oxalic | without any trouble. If certain indi- viduals experience trouble from eaf- ing such foods, it is natural to infer | that the trouble is from oxalic, but this has not been proved, so far as I can learn, by the simple experi- ment of administering to such a sen- sitive individual the grain or two of | calcium oxalate without his knowl- edge and producing the characteris- tic symptoms. One sufferer in whose case I was interested had repeated attacks which were diagnosed as oxaluria, though with unsatisfactory urinalytic find- ings to support the diagnosis. For a year or two, the patient carefully eschewed all foods which contain much oxalic radicle. But the attacks recurred and grew worse, and finally a correct diagnosis was made—colon bacillus infection of the kidney pel- vis (pyelitis), and not only did this clear up when an autogenous bacte- rin was administered but the patient resumed eating the foods which con- tain oxalid radicle and noticed no unpleasant consequence. However, I am glad to have the doctor's experience and to offer his suggestion to our readers. At any .rate it can do no one any harm to take a glass of lemonade along with any focd which purports to contain oxalic. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS We Can't Help Fainting Is it cowardly to faint over the fact that you have a sister terribly ill in the hospital, or when you get news that some one has had a bad acci- dent? Is it cowardice that makes physical reaction different from men? —(G. 8.) Answer—Cowardice or courage has nothing to do with faintness or faint- ing. I don’t know why women are more likely to faint than men—or whether they are. I don’t even know why anybody faints—we can only speculate about the nature of such the reaction. ia Diathermy: Pleased Ny Followed your advice and had ‘my It is said the citrates throw cal- | women faint, or is it some pecullar |’ am grateful for your kind advice— (Mrs. L. M. 8.) Answer—The diathermy method is now well established as an alterna- tive for the major operation in most cases, and particularly in cases where the major operation is too great a risk. The pee-wees of the medical profession, the brass specialists and the old fogies, have ceased their ef- forts to prevent this method from coming into the popularity it deserves. But we had to call ‘em worse names than these to show them the error of their bloody way. (Copyright, John F. Dille Co.) Gilbert Swan GALS FROM HOME New York, Aug. 27.—Perhaps your best friend wouldn’t teil you, but chances are that you may have lived right next door to the “girl whose skin you'd love to touch.” The gangling youngster, who played “Jacks” on the schoolhouse steps, is like as not to be the “girl with the most beautiful hands.” And the young lady who “inhales,” as well as the other beauty who “keeps that Schoolgirl complexion” may have spurned your invitation to that high school prom out in Indiana, Texa: Oklahoma, Iowa, Ohio, or way states In other: words, a hasty check of the new Model's Guild roster shows that a vast percentdge of the na- tion’s most widely photographed and painted models come from your town —and yours, and yours!\ The “most famous pair of hands,” for instance, come from Ohio, and are used by Miss Helen Ressler. And “the most famous grand- mother” hails from North Carolina and is Mrs. George Snyder. She has, at one time or another, been the “Mother's Day” mother of the ad- vertisements and the charming old grandma to be found knitting in a national ste oe campaign. * * Scranton, Pa. produced Connie Gardner (head, hands and figure); Salt Lake City is the home town of Edna Edwards; Pittsburgh has a ma- ternal claim on Betty Coffroth and Betty McKelvey; Oskaloosa, Ia., pro- duced that famous “pretty” Jeanne Flagg; Linda March is from River- ton, Ill.; Kye Milligan from New Canon, Conn.; Mrs. George, Macy and her lovely daughter, Nan Brooks Macy, from Birmingham, Ala.

In the second day of their drive, they gained between three and four miles on a front of more than 20 miles, capturing thousands of prison- ers and hundreds of guns. During the day’s fighting they took Cherisy, Vis-en-Artois and the Bois du Sart.

He *may have been deciding on an an- swer, but the deeply lined face be- trayed nothing. “As a matter of truth, it would not. Had it come earlier—perhaps, yes. But let me say this. It is something I hope you will believe. I would not have had your father fail for my own benefit. He was, in-a sense, my friend.” Ted thought of Don Bob’s words and was silent. His steady gaze held the black eyes of Morales for a moment, and it may have been that the Spaniard’s quivered for an in- stant. “All this — it will profoundly change your future, Sefior Radcliffe. Might one ask your plans: “I have no real plans as yet. Don Bob has offered that 1 work with him. I’m going to try it.
