Fair and Proper % was @ fir and proper agree- which Governor Welford and fiscal advisers worked out in con- ference with state institution heads on North Dakota’s budget problem. In the first place, it puts the job of keeping down expenses in better hands than would be the case if the governor were to veto certain items im the appropriations, The institu- tional heads are better equipped to make adjustments than any executive could possibly be. In the second place, it permits them to share in any prosperity which ‘would follow a good crop. If we get @ good harvest this year the state ‘will be well able to afford the taxes which must be imposed to meet the ‘budget as created by the legislature. To cut the appropriations now would create a ridiculous situation in the @vent that good times return to us. J is regrettable that the same ar- Bangement could not have been made. with regard to needed buildings at Jamestown and Grafton, for which ‘@ppropriations were made, but the Ganger there {s that political pres- gure might force construction regard- Jess of the taxpayers’ condition. One thing about the arrangement ds reassuring and that is the manner 4n which it was done. Had he cared to do so, the governor could have put on a show, accompanying a lusty swinging of the veto axe with much chest-thumping. It is to his credit t he preferred a more dignified, sible and statesmanlike method. Baseball in Russia Not the least interesting of recent jispatches from Russia is the an- ouncement that the great American game of baseball is beginning to take hold in the land of the Soviets. Already a national baseball league has been founded. Nine provincial cities have organized teams, and eight more are being organized in Moscow. A “baseball department” has been established in the supreme phys- ical Culture department, and the game fs being introduced into the Red army. It would be instructive to learn just ‘why baseball catches on in some countries and not in others, It has swept Japan like wildfire, for in- stance; it is as popular in Cuba as in the United States and Oanada, and 4t is making headway in other Latin American lands. But Russia is the only European country, to date, to go for it. Why should this be? Certainly such coun- tries as Japan, America, Cuba, and Russia have little in common, How come they all share @ fondness for Daseball? Millions for Relief At the height of the Civil war, morthern citizens learned with a shock of dismay that their govern- ment was spending $2,000,000 a day to carry on the fight. Such expen- @itures, in that period, seemed astro- Bomical—too big for the mind to grasp. One wonders what those startled Citizens would have thought if they hhad been told that eventually their government would spend two one-half times that much take care of the victims ployment. They would have probably, for the speedy end of world, Yet that is just what is happe: H that federal relief rolls are now carry- ing 22,000,000 persons, with daily ex- penditures for food and clothing of $5 000,000, this relief bill, It has to be carried— products | 9» —— [Additional Churches | rate, City and County Official News- pal Published by ‘The Bismarck Trib- ane Company, Bismarck, N.

Offhand, one suspects that what she really wanted was a bit of no- toriety rather than the thrill of tak- ing a human life. Volunteering to perform an execution is one way of getting your name in the paper; no injustice can be done by supposing that was her real aim. But it is very hard to think of any other way of doing it which would have been quite as repugnant to the instincts of decent people. A Hero in Peace Records of the United States army list @ great number of heroes, and nearly all of them are men who faced great peril on the field of battle. But there are a few who performed their deeds of heroism in time of peace, and one of these was James Hilde- brand, who died in Atlanta the other day at the age of 80. Hildebrand was one of the buck Privates who, in-1901, volunteered to aid Dr. Walter Reed and his asso- ciates in the research that made it possible to bring yellow fever under control. The scene was Havana, where yellow fever was almost dis- rupting the army. Some of these men slept in beds just vacated by men who had died of yellow fever, wore the dead men’s clothing, ate out of their utensils, and made every other possible effort to be infected. The others lived in the most hy- gienic surroundings, but submitted to bites by fever-infected mosquitoes, In this way it was learned definitely that the mosquito transmits the in- fection, and control of the disease was made possible. Few men in our army’s history dared more to accomplish greater ends than did this man Hildebrand and his buddies, Editorial Comment Editorials printed below show the trend of thought by other editors. They are published without regard to whether they agree or disagree with The Tribune's policies, The Difference (Valley City Times-Record) The state will welcome the action of the legislative advisory council in its efforts to balance the budget for state expenditures. Working in what is apparently a very sensible way, this council has taken the figures of the appropriations as passed by the legislature and has set them against the expected income so far as the income can be foreseen. Then they have surveyed the needs of the var- fous state enterprises, eliminating| ‘outgo wherever possible until the two sets of figures are brought some- where near each other. Finally they have allowed for possible upturn in returns from agriculture and _busi- ness, so that there is a possibility of getting enough taxes to supply the funds for all reasonable requests of the various state departments. One has only to remember what happened two years ago along this ence there is now as compared with then, Two years ago we were in- formed that certain institutions would be cyt to the bone because the people of those communities had failed to vote as the czar wished them to do. And this threat was followed by ac- tion. The taxpayers who furnished the money had absolutely no con- sideration in the matter, Bill Langer acting as judge, jury and prosecuting attorney. Now we see the heads of various state departments called in and invited to look the dilemma squarely in the face. The needs of all are put together on the one side and the possible sources of income on the other. Then the necessary cuts are arranged with full regard for necessary economies. It is a welcome change. Governor Welford is to be regarded as the man who has had the good sense to bring this about. He began it by the appointment of his super- committee of legislators, drawn from all factions, charged with the duty of arranging a workable program.

The order was a bit late. Most NRA employes owe their jobs at least Partially to the effort of one or more nators and those who had anything on their chests had already passed it along. By the time the investigation be- gan, investigating senators knew as much about the inside workings of NRA as they could absorb, liquor holds out. So this latest attempt at official thie censorship was as abortive and stupid as most other such attempts.

THE NEW DEAL IN [ASHINGTO BY RODNEY DUTCHE (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Wheeler Again Acts to Aid Poor Con- sumer ... Hush Move Fails to Clamp Lips of NRA Employes . War Within Year Predicted for S. and They Bet on It. Washington, March 16.—Mama and Papa, groaning over the size of meat. and grocery bills, are entitled to know how much of the family money goes to pay dividends and higher profits. Or perhaps they aren't. It's an old-fashioned idea which was popular, here in the early days of the New Deal. Even the administration a year ago thought it ought to know when it exempted food industries from anti- trust laws under the AAA act, wheth- its policies resulted in the gouging of consumers. But it changed its mind. Toward the end of the last session of congress, Roosevelt telephoned Senator Jimmy Byrnes of South Caro- lina to urge passage of a bill from Senator Burt Wheeler of Montana for @ quick investigation of food profits. The bill was lost in a last-minute rush, This year, when Wheeler reintrod- uced the measure, the budget bureau sent word that it was “contrary to administration policy.” Meanwhile, the AAA high command, with acquies- cence from Secretary Wallace and’ Roosevelt, has ruthlessly suppressed most officials in its ranks who once led the fight for consumer and farm- er protection against the “middle- man.” The senate has passed the Wheeler bill despite the administration's change of front, but the measure is sure to remain buried in the house unless popular protest against rising food prices directs more attention to situation as in other periods which had been followed by war. An €co- nomic deadlock existed, he said, in which the administration’s only alter- natives seemed to be a strong domes- tie policy and a strong, belligerent foreign policy. A strong domestic policy, accord- ing to Beard, would call for a wider distribution of income and use of productive facilities. ae He saw no evidence of a strong domestic policy and declared that history showed the second alternative boa been chosen in similar Beard cited as bad signs the largest military-naval ever made in peacetime, free transfer of relief funds to army and navy, pro- Hero of the Day 11 He ts —— it.
