The Parking Problem One of the problems which troubles Bis- : marck, along with practically every other city ; in the country is what to do about parking. : The change from angle to parallel parking . was not universally satisfactory here. In fact, ‘ the only generally satisfactory solution would * seem to be more parking space on the city’s streets, an obviously impossible thing. Under the old English law there was a sta- tute which provided that no man should use the _ King’s highway as a stable yard. If we were to ; adopt a modern counterpart our troubles would : be over too, but that would be much less satis- factory than the present arrangement. The real problem, as seen by businessmen and police, is that of keeping the main streets clear and yet making the city attractive to shoppers. According to the United States Municipal News, bulletin of the American Municipal As- sociation and the U. S. Conference of Mayors, Oklahoma City, first of the cities to try charg- ing for parking privileges, took in $745 in 12 days with its 200 parking meters. Installed in, the business section, the meters “check” your! car for a nickel an hour, when a green flag, signals “time to move on.” Police can thus| easily enforce the time limit on parking. The parking meters, whose legality was contested, are operating at present under a district court decision that cities may regulate and charge! for use of the streets. There is some agitation) for submitting the parking meters to the peo-! ple’s vote, however. Meanwhile Dayton, 0., which was consid-| ering installation of the meter parking plan, is} waiting to see whether the Oklahoma supreme court puts its stamp of approval upon the Okla- homa City ordinance. Kansas City (Mo.) is reported to have turn- ed down the parking meter plan, advocating in- stead installation of vertical “sky scraper” parking machines which park 25 cars, one above the other, in a space of 16x24 feet. Gary, Ind., has attempted to meet the pro- blem by providing four public parking lots which are free and under police protection, util- izing the unemployed as unsalaried police de- puties who work for motorists’ tips. {@ genuine revival of Republican hopes and an epidemic jin America. hind the Scenes | in Washington WITH RODNEY DUTCHER Hoover Talks Grows, and Some Are Hardy Enough to Put Up Cash Money on His Renomination; Hopson Impresses Many as “A Smart Feller.’ oe | Washington, Aug. 27.—For whatever it may be worth —and perhaps its just one of those strange things the August heat has a way of producing here—the impression has been growing around this town that Herbert Hoover is most likely to be the Republican candidate against | Roosevelt in 1936, . You can still get a violent argument against such a possibility almost anywhere. The point is that it’s only recently anyone here has taken Mr. Hoover's chances of renomination seriously. There's been some kind of a movement on for a G. O. P. ticket of Hoover and Lindbergh. Can’t tell yet who is promoting it or how important it’s likely to be. A seasoned political writer, who has been making political bets for years and never has any holes in the seat of his trousers, was around the Press Club the other day offering even money on Hoover's nomination. (Yes, your correspondent took $5 of it.) eee NORRIS, COUGHLIN INFLUENTIAL The Hoover talk seems largely based on the ex- president's recent activity and belief among some po- liticians that he will win by virtue of a divided deadlock- ed field. Col. Frank Knox of Chicago is currently con- sidered the chief threat to Hoover's hopes. But don’t pay too much attention to this hot weather speculation. Wait for the first primaries next spring. An observer just back from a western trip reports of factional fights between Democrats in many states. CANADA KIWANIAN Continent Will Set Ex- ample for World opening luncheon of two-day Memorial building. International good will was stressed throughout the luncheon at which all entertainment was staged by Bran- don, Man., guests. Twenty Kiwanis officers and their wives and officers of the Brandon Boys Pipe band were at a table on a raised platform. The international theme was stressed further in two anthems vom- posed by David Horton Elton, K. C., past governor of the west Canada dis- trict, especially for this convention. Priddie brought the greetings of J. J. Smith, governor of the west Can- ada district. ‘The fanfare of bagpipes end drums sounded as the Brandon Boys Pipe band filed into the hall. Fred Dob- He says Senator George Norris of Nebraska and Father Coughlin have more popular influence than any other two men in the middle west. eee MR. HOPSON AT EASE Mr. H. C. Hopson on the witness stand is a more pleasant show than some of the other Wall Street big shots—such as Charlie Mitchell and Albert Wiggin—who have appeared before senate committees to squirm or bluster. The mastermind of Associated Gas & Electric neither squirms nor blusters, He is very fat, as you know from the newspictures, with an arrangement of eyes and nose which reminds you of a fat little bird. He wears a white suit, light blue shirt, and polkadot blue tie. He answers all questions with apparent candor and good humor, in a full-throated but slightly nasal drawl which often becomes vigorous. Sometimes Mr. Hopson seems a bit bored, but he has a dry sense of humor and seems most of the time to be having a lot of fun, (Copyright, 1935, NEA Service, Inc.) ing meter system would prove popular. Sky scraper parking might serve, but installation of these devices would be costly and they would hardly prove to be a very sightly thing. One alternative, suggested by a local man, is to conduct a campaign whereby local people, proprietors of stores and their clerks, would either use the free parking plots or at least park their cars outside the business district, leaving street parking places available to customers. Such an arrangement might work out well and save both. expense and difficulty, It is some-j thing for those interested in developing Bis- marck’s retail trade to consider. More Recovery Signs Hardware sales, church collections and the cost of} living all give evidence that business is on the upgrade | By such things fully as much as from more accepted indices can the trend of the times be deter- mined. The Presbyterian church, commenting on its fi-| nancial condition, reports an increase of $421,304 during | the last year and observes that “the low-water mark of giving in the church has been passed.” Since the urge to give is a constant thing, it is logical to assume that these figures represent an increased ability to contribute fully as much as a regeneration in the religious spirit. Other churches probably are experiencing the same wel- come condition. Hardware sales, according to the leading trade maga- zine of that industry, were “unexpectedly good” in June and July and the trend has continued for August. Since haywire CAN be made to take the place of better repairs and it is frequently possible to use make-shift devices around the home-and farm, this also may be taken as one of the signs of increased purchasing power. The cost of living, a troublesome factor to city dwellers, offers further proof. A big statistical service reports that food which cost the average family $30 a month in the second quarter of 1934 now costs $34.86, that rents have advanced 7.8 per cent and most other items have risen accordingly. Only the cost of clothing has declined. Since rising markets are one of the in- fallible signs of recovery, it would seem that we are Bismarck also has parking lots but they are not much used and it is doubtful if the park- well on the way to a better situation than has existed for the last five years.

New Deal Spending Money during. the session totaled some $10,- 250,000,000. There was some uncertainty about the financing of social security and other measures during the interim until congress meets again next January. As the fury of debate subsided, how- ever, some leaders indicated a belief that sufficient money could be found. Chairman Buchanan (Dem., Tex.), cf the house appropriations committee, said the president could finance “everything necessary between now and January “through executive or- ders.” Congress plunged into its Monday night's session with warnings from administraton leaders that, under the constitution, the president can ad- journ congress himself if the two houses disagreed on an adjournment. had been discussed at a White House conference, though the exectuive of- fices emphasized the president was making no “threats.” No Wheat Loans The AAA compromise on cotton, which apparently won the approval of all except Long and a few others, provides fer government loans of 10 cents a pound on cotton, plus a sub- sidy to bring the return up to 12 cents.

ROOSEVELT MAY | TAKE CASE TO PEOPLE Washington, Aug. 27—(?)—The new social security board was reported Tuesday to have given up its plans to grant aid to states this year for old age pensions and other parts of the social security program. This word preceded a White House conference at which President Roose- velt and congressional leaders ar- ranged to canvass how the board could be financed until January. Loss of the deficiency bill before the filibuster of Senator Long (Dem.- La.) Monday night left it without funds. Attorney General Cummings wos studying whether it would be legal to use some of the $4,000,000,000 relief fund temporarily to fill gaps left by failure of the appropriation. If it is found relief funds are not available, the board may start work with labor and commerce department funds, with employes going on the payrolls of those departments. Out of the money the social secur- ity board asked, $45,000,000 was to have gone to the states which have old age pension systems. Federal aid to the states for child welfare and mothers’ assistance work also was included, as was a fund for aid to the blind. Such money as the administration can find to supplant the missing funds counted on, it was said, will only be of an amount necessary for payrolls. This would preclude the state grants planned. Authoritative reports were that the president, exercised over the loss of the important legislation through the last minute filibuster of Senator Long, ‘was contemplating three radio speech- es, starting Wednesday, in which the defeat of the legislation and the re- sults would be discussed.

Carried Account Meanwhile, the Bank of North Da- kota continued to carry an account with the trust company which usually was around $100,000. The bank closed during the 1933 holiday and R. M. Stangler, manager of the Bank of North Dakota, went to Toledo and assisted in arrangements to re-open it, some of the money due the Bank of North Dakota being placed in a trust fund. Later the Bank of North Dakota Grew out a part of its money, leaving about $25,000 on open account. A year ago the Spitzer-Rorick bank notified the Bank of North Dakota it had appropriated this open balance as an offset against the ancient bond ;claim and that the Bank of North Da- |kota owed it several million dollars more. It is this money which the Bank of North Dakota now, is seeking to get back by its suit, a Toledo lawyer jhaving been retained for that pur- i pose. Butler said he felt that the Ohio court would have no jurisdiction in such a case and that for the suit to have a chance of being successful it would have to be filed in North Da- kota.
