Hard to Understand Tt is a little difficult for the aver- fage citizen to get Beer Commissioner Owen T. Owen's point of view in flat- ly refusing to make his list of beer inspectors known to the public. ‘The reason advanced is that these fmen will do their work better in sec- recy; that their efficiency would be yeduced if their names were known ‘and the territory to which they were assigned made a matter of public in- formation. ‘The inference is that these men are Going @ sleuthing job, that they com- prise a sort of secret service to check up on the unwary beer seller. ‘Whether or not this view is justified ‘will be known wheh the list of deputy eer commissioners is made public— es it most certainly will be. If the work is of this nature Mr. Owen's appointees presumably will be found to be men capable of remaining in character. , It may be unfair to impute any but the best of motives to Mr. Owen in his conduct of the beer commissionership. Inescapably, however, he casts a sha- dow upon himself and his motives ‘when he refuses to make the public’s business known to the public. ‘This impression is heightened rath- er than diminished by the current situation. Mr. Owen must know that THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1933" ~ til we reach @ position in which every man who wants to work is gainfully employed. The civil works program looks like the best of the three alter- natives now open to us. A Lesson Forgotten ‘When the Bourbons returned to Power in France after the downfall of Napoleon Bonaparte, it speedily was discovered that they had, in the famous phrase, “learned nothing and forgotten nothing.” One of the re- sults was that their restoration didn't last. One is reminded of this by some of the antics which certain liquor con- cerns have indulged in since the 18th ‘amendment was repealed. A fair sample is the experience Ohio has been having. That state’s legislature was called into special session to consider liquor control laws. The governor submitted & plan permitting sales of wine and hard liquor by the glass in hotels. restaurants and clubs, and setting up @ state monopoly to handle all re- tail package sales. Instantly the liquor lobby got busy. Parties were thrown for legislators. Pressure was applied. The liquor lobby demanded that this bill be thrown overboard and that licenses ‘to retail packaged liquor be sold to any Tom, Dick and Harry who could raise $250 for the privilege. The governor had presented a sane and conservative plan by which the Profit motive could be removed from the retail liquor trade. The liquor lobby, so recently resurrected, insist- ed that the old set-up be restored— minus, of course, the open saloon—so that “the state be dotted with a host of retailers, each urged by his pocket- book to sell as much booze as he could, each striving to outsell his neighbor. If such tactics are a sample of the way the liquor trade generally is go- ing to act, it is evident that the trade has learned nothing by what hap- pened to it in 1919, Prohibition was adopted largely be- cause the liquor interests had become too arrogant and too active in po- ities; because they had put the lust for profits ahead of every other con- ‘sideration. _ If they revive those old habits, they may tempt a great many citizens to reconsider their recent action in re- pealing the 18th amendment.

It is not easy to see how we will benefit from that and the plan does imply some very real dangers. The constitution places in the con- gress the power to regulate the value of money. That authority should re- main there. When we enter into fi- nancial agreements with « foreign power, especially one as astute as England when it comes to handling money, we are quite likely to find ourselves on the short side of the horn, Inflationist and anti - inflationist alike should be able to agree that, whatever standard of money finally is adopted, it should be our own and not that of some other nation.

From long experience I know that not more than one or two in a hundred who read this will suc- ceed in grasping the solid scientific truth of the assertion.

Of the two classes, the latter are invariably the healthier and the happier. I grant you that this health and happiness, this cheerful frame of mind, is in it- self conducive to normal functioning of the bowels and the heart and the lungs; and the anxiety and morbid introspection of the former class tends to derange or impair these automatic internal functions.

Townley said the president was sympathetic with his general plan for establishing mills and factories in the state to process and finish raw ma- terlals. The president, he said, ex- pressed himself as in favor of decen- tralization of industry so that the state might become self supporting. ‘Townley said the president suggest- ed the department with which he might confer in working out the fi- rancing plan. He and the senator obtained an audience with Secretary Howe of the president's staff immedi- ately after they emerged from the president's office. Townley said they planned to dis- cuss detailed plans with Secretary Howe, Ofter conferring with Howe, Town- ley and Frazier announced the next move would be to work out details of financing. They planned to confer further with public works officials concerning the proposed loan. Town- ley sald he would remain in Washing- ton until negotiations have been com- pleted. Townley expressed himself as “well Pleased” with the president's reaction. He said the president was “in com- Plete harmony” with the plan for state-owned industries that would en- ie the state to process its own prod- ucts, Get CWA Jobs, Hurt Within 10 Minutes Mandan, N.

It’s none of my business, except that I've got a friend’s interest in you and Ralph—" Sonya interrupted: “I know what, you're going to say—that we're not entomologists. Ralph told me you asked him about that beetle. I knew you were suspicious and would find us out sometime.” She pointed at the pass. “And now you want to know why we're going into that country.

And when she nodded: “You're fumbling dy: namite, if you only knew it.” “I do know it, But there’s a chance that we can get on friendly terme with the Klosohees.” “A mighty slim chance, trem what old John tells me. You can’t go on without Paul and me.” “We will.” She said it quietly, but Curt knew she meant it. Her prrnosiveness was almost grim. Short of tying her up hand and foot and taking her back to Russian Lake he could not stop her. “If we can make friends with the Klosohees,” she said presently, ‘there wouldn't be any danger at all. ‘That's the cruz of the whole matter. You've had a good deal of experience with Indians, Curt; I believe you could manage it.” She leaned to- wards him, a plea crept into her voice, “I know I don’t deserve help, after refusing to take you into my confidence; but won't you, anyway, Curt?” 8 he saw the situation, he was forced to tako his choice of help- moments she made not the slightest attempt to sway bim by her charm or her powers asagirl. “Tl make a bargain with you,
