A Simple Fable and A Major Problem We have been told so often that the pending industrial control bill will open a new era in American life that the words have just about lost their meaning. And instead of gap- ing vacuously at this prospect, it might pay us to look into the prob- Jem of over-production and see just why this dill, or something like it, is such a vital necessity. ‘We all know that over-production 4s largely responsible for our pres- ent ills. What we frequently over- look is the fact| that over-production ig inevitable under our old system. Without an all-inclusive control there is no way of preventing it. * * * Take, for example, the case of an industrialist whose firm is engaged, say, in the manufacture of plug hats. There are perhaps two dozen other firms in the country making plug hats. Altogether, working at ca- pacity, they can turn out some 10,- 000,000 plug hats a year. Only 3,000,- 000 plug hats can be sold in one year. The nation has a greater plug hat- Producing capacity than it needs. But our individual plug hat maker can hardly take that into account when he plans his year’s production, He can only look at his last year's figures, cast a weather eye at mar- ket conditions and go grimly ahead to market his own quota. If he cuts his own production in half, because of the excess capacity pf the producing industry, one of his sivals gets the sales he should have nad. And if he gets all of his rivals together and agrees with them that all shall produce at a third of their capacity, so that surpluses can be avoided and fair prices can be main- tained, the whole lot of them are Mable to prosecution by the federal government. — ee * This little fable could be applied to nearly every large business in the United States. Unless there can be united action in each industry, with Uncle Sam sitting in to see fair play and protect the rights of consumer and employe, there cannot be an end to over-production. Our fondness for free competition was justified in the old days of scarcity. Over-production was almost non-existent then; when it appeared, rarely, it always adjusted itself sooner or later, Now, however, unlimited Production of practically everything is possible. Under such conditions free competition is a curse rather than a blessing. It Is A Record From the remote past comes the adage about confession being good for the soul. If it still holds true, Governor Wil- liam Langer must have obtained con- siderable spiritual refreshment from his speech Wednesday at Kindred in which he admitted that the purpose of declaring martial law in Bismarck and the placing of guards at the of- fice of the secretary of state was a deliberate effort to thwart the filing of referendum petitions. To be sure, the governor contended that his sole aim was to prevent filing of petitions to refer the highway de- partment appropriation, but this has all the earmarks of an after-thought, since no distinction between petitions ‘was made at the time. The governor's claim of success in halting the highway petitions is a sorry attempt to perch a bit of glory atop a tattered banner, So far as can be learned, no attempt to file them was made. Had their sponsors wished to do so they could have placed the petitions in the mail, along with the sales tax petition and that referring a new workmen's compen- sation statute. By this time the state has learned to expect the unusual from Governor Langer. use of the militia was ® move calculated to stir interest, even though |there was no need for it, Some of the other things he has done have attracted plenty of comment, But this latest declaration reaches @ peak which even the governor will find it difficult to surpass in the future. After his remarks to the Associated Press here last Friday, in which he denied any intention of stopping the Petitions, his Kindred speech consti- “utes a challenge of his own veracity. “|be a man, willing to hold up his own 50 In this state—and probably in the nation—this constitutes a record. Hurrah for Dad The nation will celebrate Father's Day June 18. To be sure, there will be less demonstration of sentiment for Dad than is the case with Moth- er’s Day. The “old boy” is too wise to indulge in over-much sentiment. We know that, if we lay it on too thick, he is liable to give us a phycho- logical kick in the ribs to apprise us of the fact that life is little different now than it ever has been. Not that Fathers are not sentimen- tal. They are very much so, But they do not like to have sentiment, particularly as it affects them, put on parade. Until he dies, Dad will end and seeking no public coddling. In the years that have grayed his hair and wrinkled his brow, he has seen and done much and carried more than his share of the world’s burdens. The younger generation may regard him as something of an old fogy, content to stay at home and putter around the garden, but his blood was once as hot as that of any young buckaroo who walks. But now he has acquired a philos- ophy which recognizes, first of all, that this is a funny old world and that queer things happen in it. Like the wise old owl he is, he doesn’t stick does he tries to make it count for something. But, hardened old campaigner though he is, Dad will be glad to get that letter from son or daughter on Father's Day. He may treat it care- lesslike, but it will warm a heart which has known its full share of aches and will cause him to straighten those shoulders which have been bent by years of toil. Throughout his life Dad never ex- Pected to get much credit for his sacrifices as a father. ‘They were made cheerfully and taken as a mat- ter of course. In those times when the going was toughest, Dad felt his responsibility the keenest and worked the hardest. Probably the average father wishes he had set his sons a little better example. But then he never claimed to be perfect and he wouldn't know what to do with a perfect son if he had one. The probability is he would be just a little incensed that the fam- ily blood had grown so thin, Fathers never have been placed on & sentimental pedestal. They haven't wanted to be. They are, after all, Just men to whom has been given a high privilege and a heavy Tesponsi- bility. Here's all honor to them—and three rousing cheers. No man is s0 ignorant but he may teach us something. ‘What we need is an automobile that is afraid of trains, Honesty is put to a hard test in hard times.

To be exact, according to records in the office of the state auditor at Bis- marck, the state gasoline taxes col- lected in 1932 totaled $2,842,042.45. The original theory of a gasoline tax, in North Dakota at least, was to provide funds for the building and improvement of highways, and the construction of bridges. No one can quarrel seriously when he pays @ gasoline tax, if it is known that it is to be used to improve and maintain the roads upon which he travels. Motorists have occasion to comfi- Plain, however, when diversion of these taxes is made to other funds, such as was done by the last legisla- ture. 4 Now there is a movement on foot in the national government to add an- other three-quarters of one cent per gallon tax on gasoline.

(Copyright, 1933, NEA Service, Inc.) Some of the trick medical or health authorities are caught on the wrong side of the “cold” controversy, and in their desperation they don’t mind handing the public a mess of hash in lieu of an honest argument. When they begin making hash of Pasteur's| cold chicken, it is time to show them up. I have before me three recent ex- amples of this. One is ® popular ar- ticle written by a gentleman who purports to be a medical authority; another is a public bulletin composed by a former health commissioner; the third is a bit of news service copy by a bright young woman who han- dles the health publicity for a “char- ity” organization. All cite Pasteur’s famous experi- ment with the hens and anthrax, and all imply that this experiment proved that exposure to cold may produce disease. The ex-health commissioner draws a conclusion that would aston- ish Pasteur, for he says the great scientist found that a chicken had marked immunity to anthrax, but that this immunity could be overcome by standing the chicken in cold wa- ter. Of course Pasteur scarcely knew what immunity meant; they had not conceived that idea in his time. Pas- teur never found that chickens had immunity of any kind. This is just one of those convenient “scientific” observations which modern self- styled “authorities” draw from their own inner consciousness. Any intelligent person who cares to read the life of Pasteur may see for himself that these trick author- ities are either ignorant or dishonest. I suspect that the medical gent! man first made the dishonest deduc- tion from Pasteur’s experiments, and the ex-health commissioner and the body.

Pasteur conceived the idea that if he could bring the body temperature of the hen down to that of the sheep or man, the hen might prove as sus- ceptible to anthrax as are sheep and men. Fowl naturally never have an- thrax. So he immersed a hen in cold water for hours, until the hen’s temperature was brought down to that of mammals. Then he was able to inoculate the hen with anthrax. Some of the old timers, however, insisted the mere chilling of the hens will not be overlooked in that regard. Here are the details: The project will cost an estimated $3,300,000,000. It is to be amortized at the rate of $220,000,000 a year. Amortization will occupy 15 years. Of the $3,300,000,000 available, it is Planned to use for highways only $40,000,000, or 12 per cent.

Gasoline taxes in the nation cost roundly $600,000,000 in 1932. The 1983 gasoline tax bill, if this new tax is levied, would be close to $700,000,- 000. Of every dollar spent for gaso- line roundly 50 cents will be taxes.

So Pasteur immersed a num- ber of hens in cold water till their temperature was brought down to that of mammals (98), then, instead of inoculating them, he took them out of the water, dried them and let them warm up again to their natural body temperature. of these hens became sick or died. it difference between The important Pasteur’s experiment and every day exposure to cold and wet such as you and I and every live person experi- ence, is that ordinary exposure does not appreciably alter our natural temperature.
