In such cases the Governor is complainant, judge, jury and executioner. Any state official accused and tried un- der such a kangaroo proceeding has less chance than an Armenian in a Turkish court. The cards are stack- ed in advance. It is sheer folly to battle such a losing contest and the fact that the commissioners were able to force exoneration by the governor in exchange for their resignations is evidence enough of the weakness of the case against them. Legal delays could have postponed a final determination of the case un- til after the building is finished and no expense money is provided for the accused while the state treasury pays the costs of prosecution. But there is fhe’ great jury of the North Dakota electorate. They will weigh the facts and watch how mat- ters connected with the construction of the $2,000,000 project proceed. The party in power desires what patronage or spotis are attendant on such public work. Politics must be served and there was never an admin- istration so politically minded as the one now in power. By administra- tion of course, is meant the power in the governor's office. The refer- ence does not apply to other elective state officials, with whom Gov. Lan- ger, for the most part, is at logger- heads. Every taxpayer in the state wants the most for the money to be expend- ed in the new building. While the legislative hearing disclosed some trifling irregularities, no graft was bared. It remains to be seen whether the new capitol commission, which is the Present board of administration, can function as well as the old. Ordin- arily it is an expensive proceeding to swap bosses at this stage of the job. ‘The Tribune is willing to give the new board the benefit of every doubt, but if the bars are let down so the state gets an inferior building at increased cost, those responsible will doubtless politics, To the victor belongs the spoils, “The king is dead, long live the king.” Few administrations have been as thorough in dismissing so rapidly so ployes as the Langer regime. In their places, for the most part, are politi- cians of the “heeler” type; men who will jump when the boss gives orders. | Mr. Langer doubtless is building about him solely s vote-getting machine. ae It remains to be segn if it can func- tion efficiently and give the kind of state service prevalent in many de- 00 partments under past regimes. Of course there are limits even in public business to which politics can be applied. In North Dakota we have gone far beyond a reasonable limit. Anyway, the responsibility is direct- ly at Gov. Langer’s door. The voters know who is IT, in this political merry-go-round. Congressman Lemke’s Idea Introduction by Congressman Wil- liam Lemke of a new bill to scrap the federal reserve system and substi- tute for it a Bank of the United States, demonstrates anew that our new con- gressman has no lack 6f ideas. ‘Whether or not one agrees with the details, it seems apparent that the bill provides for certain things which nearly everyone will agree are bene- ficial. ‘The Bank would be financed by a bank note issue of $2,000,000,000 and would be controlled by a board of di- rectors appointed by the president, one from each state. The president would select each state representative from a list of three men submitted by the governor of the state in question. All funds held by the government, except gold and silver, would be de- | posited in the bank. The latter, along with gold certificates, would be held by the treasury. Use of such gold would be limited to transactions by the government in foreign transac- tions. Deposits could be received from any state or political subdivision and would be guaranteed by the govern- ment. Loans could be made to any state or political subdivision with the bonds of the district obtaining the on the amount of bonds such sub- divisions could issue for such pur- Pose. The bank also could loan to the federal farm loan board for the purpose of making new farm loans at not more than one and a half per cent interest. The national indebtedness would be removed by the issuance of bank notes and all securities pledged with it, for loans could be made the basis for new money issues. The executive committee would be required to regulate the value of the currency and stabilize it on the basis of the average value of a list of not less than 300 or more than 400 com- modities for the period from 1915 to 1925. This average value or price would be declared the normal and the currency would be expanded or contracted in such manner as to keep it on the agreed level. Items most likely to gain popular support are those for the ear-marking of United States gold for use by the government. It would provide a nor- mal basis for the maintenance of the Present situation in which the gov- ernment has cornered the nation’s gold for this very purpose. The bill Tecognizes, as the present adminis- tration has done, that gold means little in the internal affairs of the nation but is all important in set- hear from the people of the state, Most of the major contracts have been consummated. The building is so far advanced that drastic changes at this time will mean great loss to the state. It is to be hoped that political reprisals or private interests are not to be served at the expense of this structure, which should be a pride to the people of North Dakota. If poli- tical manipulation is to enter into the Picture, and there are rumblings of just such a turn in affairs, that is to be deplored and should be most vehemently opposed by all honest citizens. Service generally on state commis- tling foreign balances. On this basis it should be reserved for that use. Stabilization of the dollar's value certainly is a desirable thing. Meas- ured in terms of things it will buy, the dollar now is much larger than it was in 1929 and 1930 before the disastrous fall in prices began. Whether the government should loan money to states and other sub- divisions as a regular thing, is open to question, but it is doing just that now through the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. How the Bank of the United States would tie up with the private bank- loan pledged as security and a limit! ing system or what effect it would sions, such as the one which was in controversy, is a thankless task. It is usually a matter of being damned whatever is done, ‘Those attacking George Bangs and Pred Conklin never believed that eith- have on private banks is not dis- closed. Whether it would supplant the federal reserve banks in redis- counting private business paper is not made clear. The ends to be gained by a real shake-up in the government's fiscal PERSONAL HEALTH SERVICE By William Brady, M. D. SOME PATIENTS LIKE THE OLD SPANISH METHOD In our referendum on tonsil re- surg! tonsillectomy (with guillotine and snare, or scissors or scalpel or finger dissection) under general anesthesia or local anesthesia. Tt may be of interest to quote com- ments made by some of these: I had quinsy each winter for eleven years. Always @ sore throat. Finally I had tonsils cut out. There was never any return of quinsy after that, and no throat trouble at all. Four others in my family have had their tonsils re- moved by the old method. Three had satisfactory results. My hus- band still has an occasional sore throat. (C. E.) I had suffered from frequent attacks of sore throat. My doc- tor kept telling me I should have my tonsils removed. I kept put- ting it off till a particularly se- vere attack... . They were re- moved by the guillotine and snare method under a local anesthetic. I call it a work of art... . What T like is that it and that is the e1 four years now, had any (W. B.) was no anesthesia, no hospitaliza- tion. It cost me just $3. I went right home and nursed a sore throat for the rest of the after- noon. That's all. (C. G.) system are real enough. There is no ie question that certain federal opera- tions have been of more benefit to the big bankers than to the people generally. Whether Lemke's idea is the best remedy, or if the cure would] these not be as bad as the disease, is a matter for debate.
