Bangs, chairman of the state capitol com- mission, as outlined in dispatches from Grand Forks, will be granted ‘by the legislative committee appoint- ed to conduct the capitol commission investigation. His request that witnesses be sworn and that a transcript of testimony ‘be kept should be granted as a mat- ter of course. So, also, should the proposal to permit members of the capitol commission to confront and cross-examine any witnesses who may eppear during the investigation Only by so doing, probably, will the full facts become known and the pub- he given an opportunity to judge the stewardship of both the capitol com- mission and the investigators. In so far as the people of the state fare concerned, both the investigatees and the investigators will be on trial during the progress of this inquiry. ‘The facts will be tried, in the last analysis, to the jury of the people as w whole. Hints and declarations that the in- quiry was undertaken for political purposes have not been proved. They cannot be proved by anyone except those making the investigation. If the matter is not handled with ob- vious fairness and if everyone con- terned is not given full opportunity te present facts or protect his good mame, the investigators will brand themselves as no one else could do. If, on the other hand, the investiga- tion is conducted in line with accept- eq standards, weight will be given to the findings of the committee. ‘The peculiar thing about any legis- lative investigation is that the par- ties most at interest are also the judges. They are the people as a whole who, through payment of taxes | and by casting ballots, not only pay for the government but exercise final tontrol over its policies.

Our late allies tried to organize the world against the United States and have left no device unused in an! effort to embarrass us. The refusal to pay her just debt was the final move which began with an attack on the American gold standard more than a year ago. On every front, however, France thas been beaten and now she begins by carrier, per year........87.20 7.20 2.50 150 This startling situation is empha- sized by the federal Department of Agriculture in a report just released farms. Sales last year due to tax delinquency were 13.3 per 1,000 farms year. Mortgage foreclosure and re- lated causes was 41.7 per 1,000 farms as compared with 26.1 the year be- fore. The rapid decline in value of farm lands is reflected in the report. Dur- ing the period 1928-32, values fell between 25 and 30 per cent. This decline in many instances of mort- gaged farms eliminated owners’ equities. In other cases the mortgage represented 75 per cent of the farm's market value. These figures give one side of the Picture in the agriculture states. It emphasizes the necessity for a thorough refinancing of the indus- jtry. What plan to follow is another matter. Deflation has affected agri- culture worse than any other line. One trend is noted, however. Farm real estate taxes in 1932 were 20 per eent below the 1929 peak but they were still double the 1913 tax per| acre, This merely shows how much] more the tax load must be reduced if} agriculture is ever to get on its fect again. There is food for thought in these figures and lawmakers should take due notice. The Right of Speech Farmers and others who are tempt- ed to wish for the adoption of Com- munism in this country would do well to read again a little item which appeared recently in this newspaper. It was a dispatch from Moscow which quoted Joseph Stalin as calling for a merciless fight against those who have rebelled against Soviet methods in the Caucasus, one of the richest areas in the Russian feder- ation of states. AS an example to local authori- ties, the central government has be- gun the deportation of some 40,000 Peasants from their homes in this sub-tropic area to Siberia. The ties which bind them to their native land are ignored. They are literally torn up by the roots and moved to a different part of the world where they have no part in determining simply because they refused to con- form, To these, as well as to millions of other Russians, free speech is denied and a free press is unknown. They do as they are told—or else. And they have no part in determining what they shall be told. | To argue the merits of Communism vs. Our own system is a long pro- cess.

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, Biennial Investigation (Hettinger County Herald) Happy the legislators when they can find something to investigate. This year the boys voted to investi- gate the North Dakota Capitol Com- mission, composed of Atty. Tracy Bangs, Fred Conklin and General Angus Fraser. It is not unusual to have an inves- tigation. Generally there is one each session, When legislators can't think cf something to investigate some smart attorney makes a suggestion— and generally gets paid for his idea. This year but $7,500 is appropriated so it is not likely more than two lawyers will be hired. Investigations are for the purpose of unearthing political issues and Pushing forth political propaganda. to feel the backlash of American Public opinion. Those who think that France need not care what the United States thinks of her are mistaken, This na- tion offers the world’s greatest fin-| ancial market and France needs now and will need in the future the sup- port of American credit and influ- ence, The government of our sister Republic may not be embarrassed but | her businessmen inevitably will be. ‘With the government in default, French commercial paper and pri- ‘vate bonds are less desirable. One result of the debt negotiations, to be undertaken shortly after Pres- ident-elect Roosevelt. comes to office next: March, will be to create internal strife in France and, eventually, to force the French into changing their decision .not to pay. As for the other nations, Americans will hope that Roosevelt will be able to make a satisfactory deal all around which will assist in getting _ the wheels of industry moving and which will restore activity in the jit creates. The success of an investigation is measured by the amount of publicity We don’t think the pres- ent investigation will be especially successful. It will be found that when fully completed the new Capitol will cost nore than the two million dollars orginally planned. Everyone knows that already. It will be found that some extra money was spent fiddling around with the idea that the plans might be changed and Hebron brick or prairie boulders used instead of the limestone material the plan of the building called for. Everybody suspected that. It will be found that the three commissioners made several trips to view outstanding capitol buildings of the United States to study the different types of buildings. 1; will be found they chose the tower type of building as the most efficient. Seme people like the tower type. Some do not. The commission will be blamed and praised. All of which was expected. Politics will be changed. So will attorney's fees. The $7,500 will be spent.

Our druggist says you can prepare your own acido- philus milk be placing a tablet in a glass of milk... (R. C. W.) Answer—In my opinion there is no difference so far as health or the treatment of disease is concerned. I believe plain buttermilk is as whole- some, healthful and effective as a remedy as is any artificial milk bev- erage. The classical sign of pleurisy is a “stitch in the side”. This often ac- companies the onset or early stage of lobar pneumonia, otherwise called pleuro-pneumonia and lung fever. But in most cases pleurisy is not ac- companied with pneumonia. The first inside fact to be borne in mind when you have pleurisy is that you positively must not cough. In- deed, if you can do without breathing for a day or two it will be a great help, but if you feel you simply must go on breathing, breathe just as little &8 possible. ‘That is why the doctor puts you to Cosmetic Humbug Kindly tell me thru your column if the following toilet preparations are harmful to the skin: + + double strength, ... and... powder. (E. B.) Answer—The first two you mention are strong mixtures of ammoniated mercury, a caustic poison. The last is a ridiculous mixtures of alum, and epsom salts, about half and half.

Answer—I do not agree that the caffeine in coffee is a harmful drug.

And with each swap of monikers, the dog learned to answer to another name. It was nothing for Fido to be referred to as Sergei, Hans, Idwald, or whatever Russiails, Poles and others call their dogs. For a time at must have been confusing to be Rover one day and Roverovich the next. "Yet, so I am told, the dog has learned to bark and roll over no mat- ter what name he happens to be called by. Which is quite as amazing, at least to me, as the adventures of the prince himself. : sm & EMERGENCY AD LIBBING Hair-trigger thinking is frequently demanded in the theater to meet emergencies.

This is not a good year for investi- gations. Advertising patronage of newspapers has been cut to the bone. Newspapers will not have the usual world’s market places. Everyone needs, or at least would like to have, everything that the ‘world can produce but the debts, a spirit of super-nationalism in all lands and age-old prejudices are blocking action.
