Edmunds, in charge of federal! relief work in seven northwest states, commented that North Dakota “is more of a federal dependency than a state” and that most of the persons who gave him a cool reception here ‘Thursday afternoon “were not even felief clients.” The two remarks may be unwel- come but they are the bitter truth. If they will help us to face the reali- ties we should be grateful to Mr. Ed- munds for making them. How true it is that North Dakota thas become a federal dependency is illustrated by the fact that in Bur- leigh county alone we had 732 fami- lies and 130 single persons on the re- ef list for the month of June. In 1930 Burleigh county hada popu- lation of 19,769. It has changed little since. On the basis of five persons per family—and those on relief prob- ably average more—this means that 3,790 persons are being cared for by the federal government. This is just slightly less than 20 per cent of the entire population. Whether or not North Dakota is a federal depend- ency, as Edmunds suggests, that number of persons in our own local- ity certainly are federal dependents. The questions of why or whether they . are getting sufficient relief does not affect their status. It proves that we face a condition, not a theory. The fact that a large number of those who are demanding more ex- tensive federal aid are not them- selves on the relief rolls can be proved by a look at the leadership of the group which has led the relief agitation in Bismarck during the last week. J. H. Miller, leader of the group, fs a so-called “natural” doctor, who takes time off from his normal occu- pation to indulge his bent for politi- cal activity. He is not on the relief lists, yet he assumes to speak for| those on the relief rolls. This fact accounts for the strange indifference to the facts in the case displayed by these so-called relief leaders, They have proved by their actions that they are insensible to the sufferings of their fellow human beings because, by their actions, they have operated to make the lot of per- sons on the relief list worse rather than better. They would have the persons in Burleigh county who are living on, federal bounty attempt to intimidate the government by insistence upon demands such as those which recent- jy have been voiced here. 00 was taking care of our production 2.00] peal in the farm sections came from be approved almost in toto by the rival political party by the time 1936 rolls around and attention will be concentrated on the inevitable errors: which have occurred in putting it into effect. In so doing the Republican opposi- tion will have the advantage which always lies with the “second guesser.” Everyone who does things is sub- Ject to it, from the quarterback on the football field to the farmer who plants crop in which a surplus immediately evelops. It is worth noting, however, that the initial course of attack on the farm adjustment administration has been changed. Originally it was to point out that the program was un- necessary since nature, via the drouth, | Problems. Warning that this angle lacked ap- those who admitted the truth of the proposition that the surplus would have been adjusted by the drouth anyway, but who said this method of effecting a cure overlooked the interests of the farmer. Many farm families will have little income this year other than that which comes from adjustment payments. The fact that the drouth is adjusting the sur- plus makes these all the more wel- come. To them it is all too evident what the condition would have been had not the adjustment program been launched. Very few North Dakota farmers, for example, will get as much for the acres which they planted as they will get for those which were required to be left idle under the wheat and corn contract agreements. Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree EATING SHOULD BE A SIMPLE PLEASURE The artificial restrictions or con- or domestication of animals, have had & profound effect on eating. Natural hunger no longer controls eating. We eat for other reasons than hunger and for no good reason at all. Social eating is a universal sin. Who dares to decline to eat the food offered by host or hostess? How often do you partake of unwanted food merely as an experiment in taste, type of cooking or surroundings? Paviov, famous Russian physiolog- ist, trained white mice to answer the dinner bell. Not only did they come to their feed at the call of the bell, but they actually learned to water at the mouth and secrete gastric juice, as might you or I, at the call bell, even though no food was in sight or in smell. Not only that but suc- cessive generations of white mice studied by Pavlov and Boldyretf learned more quickly to answer the bell—at last report by Boldyreff they were anticipating « bleased event and it was hoped (as the papers say) that the next batch of mice would be born with the bell-conditioned reflex, that is, prick up their ears and respond to the dinner gong without any teaching at all. That goes to show what arti- fice can do to instinct. Many younger people eat as a pas- time, just as some deadbrains chew gum or smoke. It is “something to do.” At present cocktail hokum is the substitute for such gum-chewing or cigaret-smoking among the moron class. But alcohol in any form, high- ball, cocktail, wine or beer is delusive for one who desires to get fat, because such beverages fill you up but do not yield the calories. On alcoholic beverages are delusive for with The Tribune's policies. The Legislators Should Go Home (Fargo Forum) Any calm appraisal of the facts as they relate to the situation existing at Bismarck where members of the legislature are meeting under the pretense that they have the right to establish themselves as a lawmaking body and a court of impeachment, should very quickly impress them with the idea that they are indulging in a futile gesture, continuance of which can serve only to make them appear ridiculous, ‘The conditions laid down by the constitution of the state of North Da- kota are clear, and every member of the legislature swore to uphold that constitution when he took office. It is by the terms of the constitution that the legislators hold any power at any time, and these powers are Specifically granted to them by the First, the constitution provides that the legislature shall meet every two years in sessions not to exceed 60 days. It provides further that extraordinary sessions may be held at the call of the governor. There are no other ways provided for a session, and under that section of the same document which provides that the provisions of the constitu- tion are “mandatory and prohibi- tory,” the legislature cannot establish itself in seasion at its will and pro- ceed, either with impeachment or with the business of making laws and ay ‘ting money. The attempt that is being made at Bismarck to hold a session runs di- rectly afoul these provisions of the constitution, and none know that fact 80 well as the few within the assem- bly membership who are taking the leadershi ip. ‘The right of the legislature to con- vene itself for the business of making laws and appropriating money falls, not only under the constitution of the state, but under the line of court decisions where the question of that Tight has been involved. ‘ Now, so far as the pretense that the legislature can meet and be le- Mr, If they are met it gives them op- Portunity to point to their achieve- ment and launch a new campaign for more.

Then, too, under the mellowing influence of| slight intoxication you are likely to consume a greater excess of food than you would in your right mind. Res- taurateurs know how true this is. The bear and some other animals eat to acquire a good store of fat to live in while hibernating. We can only conjecture whether primitive man had to store fat in his body. If the climate was frigid he did; if it was tropical he didn’t; for food is al- ways available where plants grow the Bismarck Kittenball Team Going to Regan An all-star team of Bismarck girls’ kittenball league players will meet the girls’ kittenball team of Regan in ‘& game to be played there at 2 o'clock Sunday afternoon, according to Miss Betty Haagensen, women’s athletic director during the summer months. Flossie Dohn of the House of David aggregation will pitch for Bis- marck. Hiss Haagensen intends to take along several of the South Side ‘Smackers and may place them in the lineup. In Thursday evening’s games play- ed at the William Moore school dia- mond, the Pepettes squeezed through @ 17-16 win over the Women’s team, while the Smackerjacks trimmed the South Side Smackers by 38 to 27. League games scheduled for Tuesday are the Women vs. the South Side Smackers at the south side field at 7 o'clock in the evening and the Pepettes vs. the Smackerjacks at the William Moore grounds at 9 o'clock in the morning.
