Mr. Welford Steps in ‘Walter Welford steps into the gov- ernor’s office today to bear the bur- dens which the severe stresses of the {imes impose upon that official. He is a pioneer of North Dakota, having come here when a boy. He is @ farmer and all of his interests lie with the development and ad- vancement of North Dakota agricul- ure. Friends on all sides of the political fence speak well of him and have confidence in him. His political op- ponents are willing to extend him every cooperation, He faces a huge task but the outlook for performing it with credit to himself and with henefit to the state is more than or- dinarily good. In the political developments of the last few weeks he has shown both good judgment and s large amount of self-posession. He will need plenty of both if he is to make @ record ‘which will be satisfactory to himself ‘88 well as to the public. As is true with every governor, he ‘will be beset by many who seek only Personal advantage and political preferment. All of the advice ten- dered him will not be intended wholly or the public good. He will find his conscience tested as it has been tested upon few occasions before, But his friends have confidence in him and every North Dakotan will wish him well. Probably the greatest opportunity for service available to the new gov- ernor is the restoration of political Peace. We have been torn by strife and dissension long enough. It has obscured many of our real problems. It has prevented united action look- ing toward the development of better times, Governor Welford does well to place Politics in @ secondary position in his first public statement. We have small place for them when hundreds of thousands of our people are in want and living on @ bere subsistence basis. If he can give us real con- structive leadership, free from the yancor, bitterness and greed which he denounces, his name will be blessed. ‘What we need in the governor's office, above anything else, is hon- esty, fairness and common sense. If he possesses half as much of these Jaudable qualities as his friends as- ert, he will find himself well equipped for the job of governor. The place calls for no unusual brilliancy, What it needs, in times like these, is the same kind of horse sense which thou- sands of our people have exercised so soundly these last few years, As he steps into office, no rancor 4s directed toward Governor Welford from any quarter. His predecessor has asked for him the cooperation of every individual in this state. He is entitled to it and every patriotic citi- zen will give it to him. Everyone will hope for his highest, _THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1985 but the highest ideals of citizenship. Never was there any resort to pyro- technics or any attempt to defeat or evade the law. ‘His friends bad reason to be proud of him, also, as he sat in the witness chair before the supreme court and answered questions, some of them adverse to his interests. He answered them fairly, honestly and without hesitation. Had he chosen to “hedge” the outcome of the case might have anything less or anything more than the truth. It was clear, when Judge W. L. Nuessle asked from the bench if he ‘would have purchased a newspaper in some other state than North Dakota had it seemed advantageous, that it, was an important question. Moodie knew it to be such, but he answered without equivocation “yes.” Many attorneys felt that upon that one answer depended the outcome of the case against him, so expressed them- selves before the decision was Ten- dered, Moodie himself knew it was an important question but he an- swered without hesitation. Thus, in stepping from the gover- nor’s office, Moodie left with the) people an excellent picture of that greatest of all public blessings, a good citizen and a real man. By doing so he may have accomplished more of benefit to North Dakota than he would have been permitted to do had he continued as governor, The Lower 10 Examination by state and federal inspectors has disclosed that much of the cream being marketed in North Dakota is unfit for human consump- tion, according to a recent news an- nouncement by C. 8. Ladd, state food commissioner. In some communities the amount of such cream runs to 10 per cent of the total offered for sale, The result of this, according to Ladd, is to reduce the quality of but- ter manufactured here and hence to reduce the price. Another obvious effect is to penalize the 90 per cent who market good cream because of the laxity of the 10 per cent who do not. Inspectors for the state and na- tional government recently have con- demned many cans of cream on the ground that they were unfit for use as human food, but it is obvious that they cannot catch even a large frac- tion of those who are violating the standards prescribed in present laws. ‘The answer to this situation, as prescribed by dairymen throughout the country, is to establish a stand- ard marketing system whereby the man with quality cream will get a premium for it. A standard law has been devised which provides three Grades of saleable cream, ranging through sweet cream, grade 1 sour cream and grade 2 sour cream to un- lawful or reject cream. Only the first three grades could be marketed under the proposed law. ‘The essential part of the law is that it requires a price differential between the various saleable grades of not less than one cent per pound of butterfat, the idea being to offer an inducement for the marketing of a high-quality product. Copies of the proposed law have been circulated to creamerymen and they are expected to support the measure in this state since they get a greater price differential for quality butter than would be given the farmer for quality cream. The justice of such a law is appar- ent. The lower 10 per cent of our cream producers should not be per- mitted to reduce the profits of the upper 90 and the farmer who takes) special pains should be rewarded for them.

Soured Pork Hunters Play Big Part in Attack . . . Boss of Interior Can Give It as Well as Take It’ . . . And When He Says “No,” That Settles It. Washington, Feb. 4.—There are at least two gilt-edged reasons for @ bet that the scalp of Secretary Ickes will continue to adhere to his head. One is the fact that Roosevelt doesn't want to repudiate his cabinet official, in the face of persistent clamor by the secretary’s enemies. The other is that he can’t afford to. If Ickes were loved for the enemies he has made, he would be entitled to as tremendous an avalanche of Popular affection as has afflicted any national hero of our time. That doesn’t mean that Ickes is an especially lovable character. And heaven knows he is far from the quintessence of tact. But the as- sorted menagerie of his enemies is -|moved to take Many congressmen, greater proportion than ever before on promises to get federal funds for home projects—often of doubtful na- ture—don’t want Ickes to be hand- ling any of that $4,000,000,000. And of course @ fellow like Ickes makes no hit with that powerful New Deal political boss, Jim Farley. ICKES CARRIES STING Ickes knows how to hit back. While the sniping was hottest, he the Elk Hill oil re- serve away from Standard Oil and other interests on the ground that it was government property. He followed that up by pushing for @ grand jury investigation of al- leged graft in a Texas PWA project which will involve certain political ‘igures. ‘The unspoken threat is that Ickes may yet reveal much more which he knows about politicians and their PWA activities. AND HE'S “DISCOURTEOUS” ‘The semi-official version of com- plaints in the House against Ickes, given by House leaders who promis- ed the complainants that Roosevelt rather than Ickes would administer the $4,000,000,000, was that it was based on the secretary's alleged “discourtesy” to congressmen. No one explained exactly what was meant by that. Everybody knows Ickes has sometimes been hard-boil- as unsavory a lot in the aggregate as ever was gathered under one tent. Not that you could get them all under one tent, for most of prefer to snipe from behind the thick bushes. Roosevelt knows all that. Neither his own temperment nor his admin- istration’s reputation for integrity permits him to surrender to the anti- Ickes forces—which also contain s0 many enemies of the New Deal. It isn’t to be supposed that all those who have sharpened their daggers for Ickes are scoundrels, of course. Some are simply keeping bad company. HUNGRY FOR PORK The attack on Ickes in Congress aimed at keeping him from control of the $4,000,000,000 public works. fund, has been tied up with the at- tack on the bill by congressmen hun- gering for vast gobs of pork. Nearly everybody in Washington was whispering that the measure was a “bad bill,” but greedy congres- men messed up the attack when they sought to make a pork barrel of it. Ickes achieved great unpopularity on Capitol Hill primarily through his defiance of congressmen and oth- er politicians who sought both pork and patronage from him during his ed, even with congressmen. elected in| @———: After having been 80 long out of office, the Democrats may find it a bit difficult spending the $4,880,- cme telief money, but give them e, xe A new barber school in Madison, Wis., plans to have courses in con- versation and rhetoric.

THE TOXIC APPEAL ALWAYS GETS THEM If a doctor is good his satisfied clients tell their friends about him and in due time the doctor enjoys a fine practice. If he is not so good there are still other ways he can get @ few customers. One way is for him to go into a huddle with other trades- men of his own ilk and do business under the name of “clinic,” “associ- ation,” “institute,” “sanitarium” or “hospital.” The ragtag and the riffraft are generally susceptible to imposing names and pretentious airs. ‘They think that if the doctor has ® vanload of Goldbergian gadgets Poisonous why not attempt to in- crease the toxic elimination? ...” It doesn't matter much what the nominal subject of the radio spiel may be, the discourse invariably gets round to the “toxic elimination” note toward the bell. Leave em worry- ing about the “toxic poison” in their system, and the chances are that half & dozen out of a thousand listeners will call to find out more about it. Three of these half dozen pay for the radio time. From the other three the quack makes @ profit, The laity, childishly ignorant of phys! » readily swallows strategically displayed around his of-| ti be quite a specalist. Hence one of the hallmarks of quackery is the ostentatious exhibit fof machinery calculated to impress the prospective sucker. Another way the incompetent, un- successful doctor may attract some business is by investing in time on the radio and hammering away at the listeners day by day, telling them all about the wonderful methods and the thoro examinations his institution offers. There are many quacks do- ing a fine business with the sucker Population thruout the country by this means, Quacks who couldn't survive if they were not privileged to buy time on the air to keep the sucker coming. A quack has to de- pend on new business. His old ‘customers do not come back. Worse —for the public welfare—people who. have been stung by these radio| specialists generally feel ashamed and keep silent about it, or if now and then one victim does feel inclined to complain the chances are he is so ignorant that nobody will pay much attention to his yelping anyway. .
