England’s Experience ext to the CCC, the government activity which has won the most ap- Pplause and the least condemnation is that pertaining to the refinancing, re- pairing and construction of homes, Everyone recognizes that our s0- -called American standard of living is not as high as it should be and that millions are living in homes which are little more than hovels. With an abundance of building materials and @ plenitude of labor, there is common sense to the idea that home building should go forward with renewed ac- tivity until every American family has a home worthy of the name. It seems doubtful, however, if we have found the key to unlock the energies which should be devoted to this effort. The federal housing cor- poration, of which great things were expected, has not shown the results anticipated. Its offer of low interest rates and long-term loans has not won the business which it seemed to merit, People with money still are begging the banks to accept it at even low interest rates but they lack the nerve to invest in one of the great American necessities. People who want homes lack the courage to mortgage their future in an effort to get them. Contrast this situation with that in England where a real building boom is going forward under the impetus of private initiative. England, too, has recognized that interest rates must be lowered and will continue to be low for many years to come. Her investors have come to the conclusion that half a loaf is better than no bread armi so they are going ahead. They are getting five per cent on their money on a 20-year amortized basis, Great Britain already had tried most of the experiments now under way here, still has laws on her books providing for home-building sub- sidies, but the great push came from general realization that the British People are entitled to decent homes and that there could be no better in- vestment. As a practical matter, government aid now is limited to slum clearance projects and to construc- tion of the lowest-priced homes, ‘We want no recurrence in this country of jerry-building and Jerry- financing, which did their full share to bring on the depression. We want no more high-profit manipulation of the natural desire for a home. The federal agencies can do @ good job in holding down these tendencies of the profiteers. But that it can, of itself, restore home-building activity seems doubt- ful. Before real progress is recorded im this direction we need confidence. People with money must be willing to invest and the wage earner must reach the conclusion that he will be able to repay the money borrowed. If and when that time comes, hammers and saws will be heard again and much of the depression will be over. PWA on Downgrade Data supplied by the public works ndministration show that 10,129 of the 18,817 projects for which allot- ments were made from the $3,000,000,- 000 public works fund have been com- pleted. Still there is no appreciable decrease in the number of persons on the relief rolls.

It has provided 10,- 00,000 man months of primary em- Floyment, an additional 10,000,000 in secondary occupations, both exclusive of the CCC and CWA programs which were a part of the whole effort. These benefits are not to be sneered at in view of the conditions which pre- vailed when the PWA was launched. Only a vivid imagination could tell iC ONTINUE D from page one.

It is much easier to criticize than to improve and none of the facts cited should be considered as proof that the PWA was ill-advised. On the contrary, it seemed then und still seems to have been the best thing to do at the time. But no one can ignore that it has not been a cure, that action in directions other than Public spending is necessary if we are to find a real remedy. Those Delinquent Taxes Burleigh county taxpayers are ap- Plauding the recent action of the county commission in ordering the sheriff to collect delinquent property taxes, particularly from persons in the public employ, some of whom have neglected to pay for many years. But, as the people applaud, they should remember that the incident Points out one of the weaknesses of democracy. The fact that it was nec- essary to order collection of taxes from certain individuals, and exposi- tion of the fact that some persons were delinquent for many years, points to the manner in which “in- fluence” can be exercised. The plain fact is that many per- ‘sons of importance, particularly those in politics, have felt that they did not need to obey the law. The sher- iff, as the collecting officer, would be Politically foolish to “get tough” with them, so they ignored that part of their tax bills. The rest of the citi- zenry, not feeling so important, paid. Tt all comes about because of the nature of the property taxed. It is both tangible and movable, hence it would be easier for the county to get its money than from taxes on real estate because, under the law, it can be seized for non-payment of taxes and sold, Laws are on the books requiring the sheriff to prohibit movement of house- hold goods and other property from the county unless the taxes on them are paid and this statute has occa- sionally been enforced. But for a sheriff to walk up and demand of a political leader that he either pay or have his living room rug and kitchen stove “distrained” takes more politi- cal courage than most sheriffs have. AS a result, the prominent and in- fluential citizen has very frequently dodged his personal taxes whereas the average citizen had to pay his. j Weather Report | FORECAST Yor Bismarck and vicinity: Unset- tled tonight and Thursday, rey colder North Da- snow; | iow | warmer extreme | : northwest, colder & é extreme northeast tonight; Thursday colder. | snow or rain be- ginning tonight or ‘Thursda: i; colder | Thursday.

When the verdict comes, the court ruled, only the interested parties, in- cluding Mrs. Hauptmann, the attor- neys and the press are to be allowed in the courtroom. The room was cleared, with the exception of these, at the request of Attorney General David T. Wilentz. A short time later Mrs. Hauptmann made her way through the crowds to the yellow frame house where she has been staying. She will wait there for the tolling of the courthouse bell, which will mean a verdict. See Misconception of Evidence In the defense argument over the instructions, Frederick A. Pope of de- fense counsel said he thought the judge had “a serious misconception of the evidence” in referring to the thumbguard as having been tled to the baby's sleeping suit. “Our recollection of the evidence,” said Pope, “is that this thumbguard was tied around the wrist of the child, but on the outside of the sleep- ing suit and in no way fastened to the sleeping suit.” Pope argued that the state had made a “kaleidoscopic change” be- tween its opening at the beginning of the trial and its final summation at the end. In its opening, he said, the state said it would prove that the child was Killed when the ladder broke and in its summation argued that the blow was struck in the nursery. No evidence, he added, port either of those theories, Justice Trenchard’s charge, though brief, was sharp and to the point. It reviewed a number of the defense contentions with conclusions of “Do you believe that?” On the state’s important ladder evi- dence, the court asked the jurors: deville Acts Billed for Show at Auditorium ‘What probably is the oldest auto- mobile in this section of North Da- kota that jove under its own in “Multicapers” at For women New” will prove one of the most in- teresting features of the revue, which is being presented under auspices of the St. George's Episcopal Choir and Guild.

May Recommend Life “If you find the defendant guilty of murder in the first degree you may, if you see fit, by your verdict and as @ part thereof recommend imprison- ment at hard labor for life.” He asked the jurors if there was any doubt in their minds as to the reliability of the testimony of Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condon, the ransom intermediary who said he paid Hauptmann. Lindbergh’s $50,000. He asked them if they believed the defense contention that a gang per- petrated the crime. Referring to the testimony of Ar- thur Koehler, wood expert, on the ladder, he said: “You should consider the marks up- on the wood and give the evidence in respect thereto such weight as you think it entitled to after a considera- tion of the credibility of the witness.” Hauptmann Truth Questionable As to Hauptmann’s own testimony: “His interest in the result may be taken into consideration on the ques- fecting his credit as a witness.” Of Amandus Hochmuth, the aged man who said he saw Hauptmann with a ladder in a car near bergh home on the day of the . “This testimony, if true, is highly significant. Do you think that there is any reason upon the whole to doubt the truth of the old man’s testimony? May he not have well and easily re- membered the circumstance in view of the fact that that very night the child was carried away?” As to Hauptmann’s alib! witnesses, the judge told the jury: “You should consider the fact, where it is the fact, that several of the witnesses have been convicted of crime and determine whether or not their credibility has been affected thereby. And where it appears that witnesses have made contradictory statements you should consider that fact and determine their credibility as affected thereby.” On Circumstantial Evidence F. N.

(Miss V. M.) Answer—I wish we knew that vita- min A is helpful in cataract. It can do no harm, at any rate, if one get- iting cataract takes, say, a teaspoon- ful of cod liver oil or halibut liver oil three times a day for a few months, Cataractous readers who try this and observe any results will be good enough to let us know their experience.
