Future of NRA The future of the NRA, like every- thing else at Washington, is ratber obscure just now but all signs point to a continuation of the effort to coordinate business in some form or other, Much of the fervor with which the NRA was launched has long since vanished and the nation now is in the throes of a reaction. It has not done all of the things its advocates thing save that they valued apprecia- tion of beauty more than worldly wealth, If one wanted to be very serious and profound, one probably could draw a number of morals from all this, One could write, for instance, that it all shows a distressing super- ficiality on the part of the nation’s youth, and so on and so forth, But the more we think about it, the more we feel that it proves only this: that these high school young- sters are normal, healthy youngsters, interested in precisely those things one would expect normal, healthy youngsters to be interested in. New Method of Cure In their anxiety to make new laws and presumably cure new ills of the body politic, the legislature is prone to overlook the good which might be done by repeal of old laws which are outdated and which often were passed to meet special situations. LENTEN SEASON IS USHERED IN TODAY Many Churches Holding Special Services on Evening of Ash Wednesday Ash Wednesday, which is being ob- served today and marks the opening of the Lenten season, brings an+ nouncements of special services from several Bismarck pastors. Rev. N. E. Elsworth, rector of 8t. George’s Episcopal church, announces that the traditional Ash Wednesday service, consisting of the penitential Office and a short address, will begin at 7:30 o'clock, At St. Mary's procathedral the Len- ten exercises opened Wednesday morning at the 8 o'clock mass when Rt.

R. Burgum of Stutsman opposed passage of the bill, and protested against Godwin’s claims of “—alliance, conscious or otherwise.” “A good portion of the people op- posed to this measure are churchmen and school people,” Burgum, a min- ister, said. “they are good enough to marty you, baptize your children, and bury you, so they should be good enough to be allowed to speak their mind plainly.” He attacked the bill, exclaiming, “Liquor would be consumed in restau- tants and sutomobiles—everywhere, At least the old time saloon had some good points. I don’t know why some one didn’t have intestinal fortitude enough to introduce @ bill containing the old saloon.” He served notice on leaders that “if this bill passes with a two-thirds ma- jority, I shall oppose some of these other measures which will require a two-thirds majority. which would create disharmony, it is the liquor bill—and the sales tax bill.

Lord, As the the cluster, claimed it would do, hence a demand to get rid of it entirely. Both labor and capital are taking pot-shots at it, each with the hope of winning re- visions favorable to their positions, Despite this condition, it is fairly certain that the NRA will continue. Despite its imperfections, advances have been made under it. Of the entire elaborate setup three major things seem likely to survive. ‘These are the child labor, wage and hour provisions. They have worked out in a generally satisfactory man- ner and should be continued. The rest of its feathers might well be pulled out of the blue eagle. If this is done there will be no need to keep ‘up pretenses about the observance of codes which are clearly unenforcible. It should be kept in mind, too, that the wage and hour standards are now at a minimum. This is emphasized ‘by labor’s protests that business has received most of the benefits of NRA. In support of this they point to re- cent reports which indicate that in- dustrial dividends have risen more repidly under this system than has the status of the worker. Nevertheless labor realizes that NRA gives it recognition which it never had before and is willing to fight for the principle involved rather than see it abandoned alto- gether. This is particularly true of ‘union labor, which still is trying to make the collective bargaining provi- sion a lever for its own advancement, Its form and name may change but there is every prospect that we shall have the essentials of NRA with us for many years to come. First Things First In the current fight over North Da- kota’s educational policy—and there as a bitter fight raging below the sur- face—it is necessary that we consider first things first. Otherwise we shall he placed in the position of having frosting but no cake. At this session of the legislature the institutions of higher learning have made a splendid presentation in support of their claims for greater ‘appropriations. Admittedly, they are deserving of every support which we can reasonably give them. The com- plaint that professors of high standing are receiving less than political ap- pointees is well justified. No one argues the contention that they are entitled to higher salaries. It should be remembered, however, that the major contest for the state's educational money is between the common schools and our institutions of higher learning.

Evidently the legislature thought so else the statute would not hf&ve been approved. But that time has long since passed, if it ever existed. Smoking in dining rooms has been the rule rather than the exception for many years, As one legislator emphasized, the point has been reached where women as well as men are being placed in the position of law violators. The whole thing has been silly. Repeal of the law is only a belated demonstration of common sense. ‘There is some talk of a special ses- sion. It might be all right if a special rule were adopted which would limit legislative activities to repeal of fool- ish and unnecessary laws already on the books. Work Versus Money Eugene Grace, who drew down $3,669,000 in bonuses from the Beth- Iehem Steel company during the war years, tells the senators who are investigating the munitions business that to pay an industrialist an army officer's pay in wartime would just naturally disrupt everything. “Greatest efficiency comes from having the individual interested in the results of the work he per- forms,” he said, adding that noth- ing had ever been invented that, would make men work as hard as the lure of money. One wonders if Mr. Grace has not. done himself and other industrial- ists an injustice. The army used some of our greatest industrialists in France during the war, giving them the pay and emoluments of colonels and brigadier generals, and got a tremendous amount of highly efficient work out of them. Tt is a fairly safe bet that it would have got the same kind of service out of Mr. Grace himself. The chal- lenge of the Job itself can be a more potent incentive than the fattest of bonuses. Slow in Getting Started The housing division of the PWA, put into operation a year and a half ago with $150,000,000 at its disposal, has provided low-cost living quar- ters for just 124 families to date. ‘This has been done through three private limited-dividend corporations. Slum clearance jobs are under way in various congested metropolitan areas, but not one of them has been completed, Only $2,500,000 has actu- ally been spent on federal projects to date, Contracts totaling $3,500,000 more hhave been signed, and 37 develop- ments which will cost $121,500,000 have been approved. Work on these, however, can’t get going until June. ‘This record is far from a bright one.

The stations of the cross will be re- cited in German at 4 o'clock on Fri- day afternoons and in English at 7:30 o'clock Friday evenings.

Regular midweek services will be continued at 7:30 o'clock each Wed- nesday evening at McCabe Methodist Episcopal church. Rev. Walter E. Vater, pastor, expects to have a spe- cial series of Lenten services during the last 10 days before Easter. Holy Week will bring a series of services conducted by the bishop, Rev. E. W. Praetorius of Cleveland, Ohio, for the First Evangelical church, of which Rev. Ira E. Herzberg is pas- tor. On Friday evening, a series of weekly Lenten broadcasts over KFYR at 10 o'clock will be inaugurated. Rev. Ellis L. Jackson, First Baptist church pastor, will note the season of Lent in the weekly prayer meet- ings which are held at 7:30 o'clock ‘Wednesday evenings. Negro Jubilee Singers Slated at High School Browne's Metropolitan Jubilee Sing- ers, one of the finest groups of negro singers in America, will appear in concert at the Bismarck high school auditorium at 8 o'clock Thursday evening. This is the fourth program in a series presented before the high school by the Northwest Assemblies, Inc., of Minneapolis, and is the only evening program of the series. The three previous entertainments have been a cartoonist, a violinist, and a lecturer. These appeared before Christmas. The final program will be given next month by E. Stanley Brookes of Melbourne, Australia, who is an outstanding interpreter of char- acters created by Charles Dickens. Browne's Jubilee Singers appeared before the high school two years ago and a large crowd is expected to en- joy their return concert which fea- tures pure negro melodies and spirit- uals sung by a professional group of colored artists who are said to have remarkable range of tone. In 1930 this group won the Chicagoland Music Festival in competition with 17 other groups, The general public is invited to at- tend this concert for which a nominal charge will be made. Students will be admitted on their season assembly tickets or ten cents single admission. Preventive treatment in Panama has reduced malaria sufferers from 62 out of 100 to 8 out of 100.

Bills for ap- Propriations for the schools at Minot and Dickinson are increased over the house figures, the senate accepting) the appropriations committee recom- mendations, and they will be returned to the house for concurrence. Also passed by the senate was a bill transferring administration of the minimum wage and hours for women workers from the workmen's com- pensation bureau to the state depart- ment of agriculture and labor. The bill now goes to the governor. Another house bill receiving ap- Proval of the senate and hastened on its way for final gubernatorial action, was one directing the board of administration to sell all automobiles owned by the state beer commissioner. This question was the subject of polit- ical debate during the recent state campaign with charges made that the automobiles were used for “political purposes.” In setting up 8 board of public wel- fare, the bill provides for the appoint- ment by the board of a full time executive director to be paid $2,400 annually. The board must be called into session by the governor within 60 days after the act takes effect. Moving in double-quick time, the senate cleared the decks for its final DiZrt<l> a 3 | [ 5 é 4 & | .
