e and the manner in which they have— or have not—been kept. It is afforded by the fact that the governor now walks alone among all the state of- ficers who were elected with him (and by much larger majorities than he received) last fall. ze * This light shows the governor's statement is 100 per cent correct. He is right when he says the banks will be cleaned up and the money di- vided.

The Real Issue One of the questions to be deter- mined at the election Sept. 22—prob- ably the most important—is that of out of it. There are evidences now that we may have proof of an old adage in the returns from the impending elec- tion. Some North Dakota politicians may never have heard of Abraham whether the voters of North Dakota/zincoln for they show no regard for can consistently be deceived. the principles he espoused, but they Splendid examples are offered by| may yet learn a saying attributed to the current arguments being made for two measures which the admin- istration of Governor William Langer very much desires to see approved. First, of course, is the sales tax which will take millions from @ hard- pressed citizenry under the claim that it will help the schools, No ref- erence is made to the fact that the people in every school district will be forced to pay in cash far more than they will receive in school aid. No effort has been made by sales tax protagonists to give the people a true Picture and let them decide on the basis of the facts. Instead the voters have been treated to a demonstra- tion of misrepresentation and down- tight falsehood unparalleled in this State's recent history. Very often, with public men ar- fayed on different sides of a ques- him: “You may fool all the people some of the time and some of the all of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time.” The Human Urge ‘The most humanly revealing thing about the forthcoming Antarctic ex- Pedition of Admiral Byrd, it seems to us, came out when the admiral was telling reporters recently about his plans for this fall’s trip. After he had explained the scientific aims of his expedition, a reporter asked him, “Is the furthering of science your only reason for returning?” And Admiral Byrd grinned and re- plied, “Well, you know I'll keep on going as long as there are places to go to.” In that remark, it seems to us, tion, it is difficult to know whom to/ne summed up the attitude in which believe.

Their! there are places to go to.” chief argument now is that it will benefit the schools. The governor, apparently, would empty the bellies of the people to cram their heads. It is a dangerous practice, for the aver- age mind is never keener than when hunger and privation gnaw at the vitals. Herbert Hoover found this out to his sorrow less than @ year ago. Arthur E. Thompson is state su- Perintendent of public instruction. He should know more about the schools than the governor. And 60 when he says there has been too much “loose talk” about how the sales tax would benefit the schools his words are worth considering. ‘When he warns against “playing poli- tics” with the schools and links the statement with the effort to pass the sales tax it can be construed as nothing but a challenge to the hon- esty and veracity of Governor Langer. ee % ‘This issue is one of public policy and not of personalities, but it ap- pears impossible to keep personali- ties from entering into the argument. ‘They have been injected into it al- ready. Opponents of the sales tax should be content that this is so. If there must be a test of the repute in which the people of North Dakota hold var- fous public men, it may as well'come row.

A horde of hangers-on and sycophantic job hold- ers will hardly deceive the average voter. Each man can determine for higwelf which side his bread is but- tered on. All but the blind can see@ the butter on the political ap- paintee’s big slice. Hence the fact that no one is campaigning for the sales tax, except Governor Langer and the men whose jobs he controls a i He e Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published witheut regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies. “Noninterference” (Chicago Tribune) An Associated Press dispatch from Buenos Aires reports that the Argen- tine government has addressed a note to the American embassy expressing the hope that the United States would not intervene in Cuba. The note, says the dispatch, expressed sympathy for Cuba and laid stress up- on the principle of noninterference by a foreign power, declaring that Ar- gentina has followed this principle. It might be suggested to the Ar- gentine government that its note to Washington is not precisely an exam- ple of the principle of noninterfer- ence. The Argentine foreign office seems to forget that what it protests as interference by a foreign power is the fulfillment of a legal responsibil- ity, the exercise of an explicit legal right growing out of special conditions in the relations of this country and Cuba. It would be proper for the American government in response to the Argentine communication to re- call that the United States is respon- sible for the release of the Cuban peo- ple from Spanish sovereignty and for the establishment of an independent government in Cuba. The American nation fought a war against Spain for this purpose and in so doing assumed an international responsibility, the terms of which are expressly defined in that part of the constitution of Cuba called the Platt amendment. fairs of Cuba whenever necessary “for the preservation of Cuban independ- ence, for the maintenance of a gov- ernment adequate for the protection of life, property, and individual lib- erty, and for discharging the obliga- tions with respect to Cuba imposed by the treaty of Paris on the United States now to be assumed and under- taken by the government of Cuba.” The reluctance of our government to intervene in Cuba is manifest, but f 4 cours it will be the fulfillment qreey 3 Ere ee oeeo 5, erty £ s 588 The job of the electorate, then, is to determine between the trutn and tricky argument; to lift the mask and see what really lies behind this in ink.
