4 THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE TUESDAY, MAY 23, 1933 ! LANGER ARGUES FOR SALES TAX PROPOSAL! Tells Williston Audience It Is Needed to Meet Interest on Bonds Williston, N. D., May 23.—(7)—An feccount of his administration of state affairs was given by Governor Wil- Mam Langer in a public address at the high school auditorium here Monday evening following a banquet in honor of the governor, Mrs. Langer and A. J. Gronna, attorney general. The governor recalled that in his campaign speech in Williston last fall he promised if elected to reduce expenses a million dollars a year but said the actual saving was greater as the legislature appropriated five mil- lion as compared with 10 million spent by the preceding administra- tion. “I am certain,” he said, “that the state will be run as efficiently on four million dollars as it was on the 10 million and I am quite sure much more honestly.” The governor pleaded for support} of the sales tax proposal which he declared was a replacement tax and necessary to meet bond interest and support schools. | He cited cuts in funds allowed large state institutions to allow more for the common schools. Defending his moratorium against foreclosures the governor said this was not promulgated until banks, in- surance companies and building and Joan associations had asked and been granted such protection which made it necessary to give similar protec- tion to individual debtors. “Until the farmer gets reasonable} value for his products,” he declared, | “just so long am I going to keep the moratorium in effect.” Short talks by Gronna, Frank ‘Vogel and M. O. Steen preceded the governor's address. George H. Moel- lring, district judge, was chairman. EARTH ROADS SLIPPERY Gravel highways in North Dakota were reported by the state highway department Tuesday to be in fair to good condition, with earth roads slip- pery due to recent rains.

May 23.—(4)—Wher Thad Sheerin calls the H. J. Post of the G. A. R. to order he'll be talking to himself. Inasmuch as he’s the only survivor of the Civil war in Neenah he'll have everything his own way. He'll be ap- pointed commander for the remainder of his life. He is 87 and promised the post would meet once every two weeks. NOT A KITCHEN TALKER Chicago—A talking kitchen to make life easier for the housewife has been installed at the Chicago world’s fair. The talking is done by a mechanical device that ex- plains the use of all the kitchen equipment, and points each item out by turning on spotlights as the subject of conversation switches from one thing to an- other. Chicago—The candy box someone placed on Mrs. Ebba Brazeau’s porch didn’t contain candy. In it was found @ copper-head, venomous reptile whose bite sometimes is deadly. Policemen entrapped the serpent in a glass jar and said they would ask postal inspectors to investigate. Mrs. Brazeau said she didn’t know why anyone should wish to send her a snake. i; Commission Refuses To Cut ’Phone Rates Explaining why public utilities can- not be subject to the sharp price fluctuations which are incident to private business, the state railroad commission denied a petition of tele- phone users in the Edgeley district requesting reduction in telephone rates of the Dakota Central Tele- phone company. “In the case of regulated utilities,” the commission stated, “the regula- tion of rates and control of return is exercised to the end that rates, at all times, be maintained at a rea- sonable level. Were the utilities un- regulated, as is true of private en- terprises, if they were free during Prosperous times to fix rates with- out regulatory control, then they could, with justice perhaps, be sub- jected to the price fluctuations suf- fered by private business during eco- nomic depressions.” KNOWS — SHE NEEDS ITS EXTRA BENEFITS TOO! F course children think Post's Bran Flakes is just delicious to eat! But wise mothers know that it also acts as a safe, simple precaution against con- stipation due to lack of bulk in the diet: ;; an often unsuspected trouble that may lead to listless- ness, ill temper, “low” spirits. For years, Post’s Bran Flakes has served as a safeguard against this condition « ; ; For it provides the necessary bulk that so many foods lack . . . thus helps to pre- vent intestinal sluggishness, and PICKED STEERS 10 BE EXHIBITED HERE Three Beef Cattle Demonstra- tions Are Arranged For | dune 15 and 16 | { Burleigh county farmers will have an opportunity to view picked steers, representing five grades of slaughter cattle, at tHree beef cattle market and grade demonstrations to be conducted June 15 and 16, it is announced by H.

BUSINE Closer Study of Situation Pos- sible As Inflation Excite-. - ment Subsides The subsidence of the first flare of inflation excitement has enabled a more studied view to be taken of the solid gains which had been made in many directions, even before the stimulus of artificial measures had been adopted as @ succor to commer- cial activity, according to the week- ly report of Dun and Bradstreet. Despite the improvement of both trade and industry since the early part of April, the reports last week of further expansion were more numer- ous and indications of sustained gains were more convincing, although the movement forward was at a slower pace. Business in general now has assum~- ed dimensions wider tharf seasonal and has progressed to such a degree that it is becoming the exception to find a report from any section of the country which does not enumerate at least a few trades in which produc- tion and distribution have risen from the point at which they stood at the beginning of the quarter. Each week the reports reveal mul- tiplying evidences of the broadening of purchasing power by the recent price advances, the continued expan- sion of industrial operations, and the new fields being opened by govern- mental work. Employment in the steel, automobile, rubber, and brew- ing industries has increased as much as 100 per cent during the last two months, while the recent advances in agricultural products have given the farmers approximately a billion dol- lars more to spend, exclusive of the ‘funds which have been provided by the Farm Bill. While the check to the downward economic swing may not be reflected, as yet, in wide re- employment, further reductions are appearing weekly in the number of applications for relief in many of the large industrial centers. During the last three weeks retailers 80/in many parts of the country have announced that they are recording te small profits, after more than two years of deficit operation. Doubtless, the rigid economies put into effect since 1930, together with the low levels at which inventories of unsold goods have been held, will help both large 401 and small concerns to increase their profits steadily, even though sales ed in more prosperous times. The early returns on April retail sales bear out the steadily-gaining weekly vol- {ume which was recorded during that Huron, cldy. 42| month. With the exception of the Boab) ESE obo aie final week, retail prioes persisted st ANN! @ low level through April, so that MINNESOTA POINTS jw. | the increased dollar volume. was in- est est Pct.| dicative of a strong rise in unit turn- Moorhead, cldy. 68 62 .68/ over.

Not for a generation has a sen- ate inquiry exceeded the interest. at- tracted or been the subject of more elaborate preparation. Also under supoena were O. P. and M. J. Sweringen, the noted railroad operating brothers; John P. Murphy. secretary of many of their corpora- tions; Leonard Keyes, general man- ager of the Morgan firm and George H. Howard, president of the United Corporation. The Morgan house is first of the big private banking firms to be studied by the committee in its broad examina- tion af the nation’s financial struc- ture, but later it will go into the oper- ations of two other private banks, Kuhn-Loeb and company and Dillon, Read and company. \ The Morgan inquiry ties in'with the Glass bank reform bill now before both senate and house, which requires, among many other reforms, that pri- vate banks drop either their security or their deposit business. The senate, meanwhile, was at the climax of its first impeachment trial The defendant, federal judge Harold Louderback of Califor- nia, was the day’s witness, to con- clude the defense case and make way for the decision on whether he is guilty of the improper bankruptcy Practices charged.
