The Bismarck Tribune An Independent Newspaper THE STATE'S OLDEST NEWSPAPER a (Established 1873) State, City and County Official News- paper. 00] have taken business away from the Welcome to Bismarck Against a background of economic distress and social unrest, North Da- ‘kota’s new state officers assume their duties today. Some of them will merely begin new terms in offices already held by ‘them, Others will embark upon a career of service to the state which every loyal citizen hopes will be bene- ficial and constructive. ‘Whether old or new servants of the public make records satisfactory to the people rests entirely with them. ‘Whether or not they will continue to get the support of the people depends ‘upon whether or not they deserve it. ‘Tomorrow, the two branches of the state legislature will convene and the same situation holds true with them. If they conduct themselves as true Patriots they will merit the gratitude of @ hard-pressed people who want and are entitled to get the utmost in constructive action from their chosen Tepresentatives, both in public office end in the lawmaking chambers, ‘The problems of the state are such as to make the achievements or lack of achievements during the next two years, and particularly during the next 60 days, of special importance. ‘Nearly everyone recognizes that there 4s much to be done. That there will be diversity of opinion as to how best to do it is both natural and proper. ‘The essential thing is that both leg- islators and state officials discharge their duties in the same spirit with which the public placed those duties upon them, that of consecration to . the common good. It is always , Of course, that every public man is continually on trial before the people. It is particu- larly so this year when the personal resources of many persons are at a low ebb and the need for sound solu- tion of many problems is so apparent. Instead of partisanship the people ‘will look for statesmanship. If they fail to find it, a method is provided for them to register their disapproval. ‘The history of the last few years Proves they know how to use it. As the legislature convenes, much inflammatory and ill-advised talk is being heard. Some persons who now have no responsibility as public of- Ticers are seeking to foment discord an excess of the amount which would normally be present. ‘These people make bad councillors. ‘Their interest is not necessarily that of the public. The hard-pressed hus- band and wife, striving to keep a family together, have little in com- mon with the aims or desires of the LEEE, ERS ; ! ‘ i £ 3 i r : et E a ak !

The Railroads Must Change How rapidly the transportation scene is changing is indicated by the current report of the Interstate Com- merce Commission, charged with su- pervision ef the railroads, It shows abandonment of 14,570.94 miles of railroad trackage since 1920 and that the curtailment of railroad operations is increasing. At the same time, very little new line has been constructed to take up the slack. ‘Thus the area of operations for the iron horse which opened up the American interior is slowly being re- stricted. Development of waterways and advances of truck transportation railroads and the trend is being ac- celerated rather than diminished. In 1920, the first year for which statistics are given in the report, 701.93 miles were permitted to be abandoned. In 1934 the figure was 2,514.22, the largest in the 14 years covered in the document. For each of the last five years abandonment has been at the rate of more than This points a tendency which neither the railroads nor we in the west can afford to ignore. It em- phasizes all over again the necessity for a complete regeneration of rail- road operations. That railroad man- agements have been mentally mori- bund is too true to call for argument. The service rendered has, on the whole, been ineffective when com- pared with more mobile agencies and insistence on the operation of large units has caused many branch lines to be operated at a loss. When they get too unprofitable request is made for permission to abandon them. Ways are open to the railroads to retain their share of available busi- ness and to stimulate use of railroad _ THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, JANUARY 7, 1985 ERICKSON LETTER OUTLINES PLAN OF MOODIE OPPONENTS Not Everyone to Whom It Was Addressed Agrees With Scheme, However How political ideas are born was re- vealed Monday when a letter, written by Senator O. E. Erickson, Langer ae in the state senate, came to ight. Written on the letter head of the North Dakota Republican State Cen- tral Committee and signed in type- writer, the missive gave Erickson’s ideas as to what should be done by the anti-Moodie group at the coming ses- sion of the legislature. In a few quarters it was read with Tespect but most persons in the Lang- er camp condemned it, their reasons ranging all the way from declara- tions that such things ought not to be written and that it was bad strategy to the view that it would serve to prej- udice against Langer those house members who were inclined to do their own thinking. The Printable Text The first paragraph of the letter was viewed by lawyers as a serious Personal libel against Thomas H. Moodie. The last refered to a com- mercial proposal. The text of the remainder follows: “This is not what I wanted to write you about, however, but the Fargo Forum says we are so green and un- organized that we will not know how to even get organized when we arrive in Bismarck. This is just how the Forum wants us to feel so Twichell can come in here and put something over on us right off the hat, but let us just fool them. “Now then, someone will say I am | service, but unless action is taken without delay the trend will continue to grow and many towns which now have railroad service will become “inland” communities. ‘The time may be far distant when the iron horse will disappear from our midst but that this is a possibility is evident to all who look at the fig- ures and the facts behind them. Some people are not big enough for the job, but most men think the job isn't big enough for them, Upton Sinclair is the man the Democrats tried to forget. BAKER TELLS LIONS OF TAX PROPOSALS Expert Says Collapse of Prop- erty Tax Plan Calls for Adjustments The drastic reduction in property tax receipts during the depression and drouth has brought consideration of gross receipts and sales tax pro- Posals to the fore as the 1935 session of the North Dakota legislature opens. ‘With this observation, Lyman Bak- er, former deputy state tax commis- sioner who now is employed by the federal government in a debt and fi- nancial survey of North Dakota, launched into s brief discussion of the state’s tax situation before the Bismarck Lions club Monday noon, There are many arguments for and against a sales tax, Baker said, the principal argument for it being that it apparently is the only dependable source of large revenue in sight at this time. With propetry virtually unproductive, Baker said, heavy tax- es on property at this time almost amount to confiscation. Ability to pay has been paralyzed, he said. Tax Situation ‘Grave’ The state tax situation is “grave,” he said, with one-third of the state's Population now dependent upon fed- eral relief for necessities. More important than revision of taxation, he said, is the necessity for a Senator and have no business tell- ing you House members what to do. Well, let them say so. If I don’t do it somebody else will. They will then holler about him and therefore it might as well be me. “The first thing you will have to consider is a Speaker. No one has Farmers Union and at the hi the Holiday Association in his and with the family he has; the he has NOT had the last two or years, I am sure he can use the e: $2.00 per day about as good one. Yes he might even get cuss you, but that is the Speaker you want for if you, he will also cuss Twicl his gang. The man I mean Crockett, of Wales. “Then you need a good desk force. I am not sure that you can get her but if you can, then put Mrs. Minnie D. Craig in as your Chief Clerk and James Bothne as your Desk Reporter. Then support them with some good levelheaded help and I am sure that even the Fargo Forum will admit you are organized. “For Legal Adviser why not hire Charles G. Bangert, the man who stumped the state for our ticket, put in his own money and got defeated. Let us show that we still have faith in him, “Are we going to let Moodie and his attorneys stall us until the session is over: or shall we refuse to call a joint session and recess from day to day until we know whether or not he is @ British subject or qualified to be our Governor. It is up to us to force the issue. “HAPPY NEW YEAR! See you next week. agit gz rabee BERSEE ee “Yours truly, “O. E.
