One of the things which the people of the United States are sure to have dinned into their ears this election year is the statement that 10 per cent of the people own 90 per cent of the wealth in this country, or some variation of that popular theme. It is an effective way of making people think they are being downtrodden or are, at least, getting less than their just desserts. Because jealousy is natural to the human heart poli- ticians find it convenient to make people feel that they are worse off than they. really are. Then, when the politician per- mits his heart to publicly bleed for the presumed unfortunate, the response is likely to be more satisfactory—to the politician. The peculiar fact is that nearly everyone feels poor. Even the man whois thought to be comfortably well off finds it easy to assume that the wolf is just around the corner, if not actually on his doorstep. But the fact of the matter is that wealth is more generally disseminated in the United States today than in any other country in the history of the world. The national: wealth today is approximately 250 billion dollars and the distribution of ownership is approximately as follows: 22 billions in savings accounts owned by 40,000,000 people; 10 billions in savings and loan associations owned by 8,000,000 people; 22 billions in the present value of life insur- ance policies owned by 60,000,000 people; 30 billions in farm homes owned by 3,500,000 people (against this value there is about 9 billions in mortgage debts); 50 billions in urban homes owned by 10,500,000 people, 9 billions in automobiles, trucks and tractors with ownership widely distributed; 38 bil- lions in stocks owned by people with an average holding of less than $3,000; 9 billions in churches, hospitals, private schools and colleges, charitable institutions and similar eleemosynary organizations. The total of these figures is 185 billions or 74 per cent of the national wealth. The remainder of the 250 billions is made up of commercial bank deposits, stocks held by merchants, household goods and the holdings of businesses and corpora- tions. Business records show about a million individual businesses and partnerships and over 400,000 corporations of which less than 3,000. are big enough to have their securities listed on any stock exchange. These are demonstrable facts, not figures plucked out of thin air. AND THEY ARE IMPORTANT for they help to revive confidence in the system under which we live. No other nation in the history of the.world ever lived under such favor- able conditions. THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE. Right With Him to the Very End Behind the Scenes Washington Gleeful Democrats Guffaw Over Pub- liclty Blunders of G. O. P. Press Agents ... New “Brain Trust” Takes Away Republican Talking Point ... Sad Lack of Research Is Shown in Attacks on New Deal ts. By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, April 27.—The sooner Governor Landon—or whoever the nominee is—gets to Washjngton to take over Republican national head~ quarters, the better it will be for the Grand Old Party and all concerned with its immediate future. Partisan Republican newspapers in the East already are commenting in tones denoting great pain. If you hear further repercussions, here are some of the reasons: 1—After many months of panning the “brain trust” of the New Deal— with choice sarcasms for Prof. Felix Frankfurter of Harvard Law’ School and his numerous pupils employed by the administration—the national committee suddenly hired nine pro- fessors with a large staff, at the head of whom it placed a former pupil of Dr. Frankfurter, Prof. Olin Glenn Saxon. Not content with this, the commit- tee called a press conference to in- troduce Saxon and issued’ a ponder- ous announcement, .. The result, of course, is that no Republican orator will be able to inveigh against the Democratic “brain trust” or Dr. Frankfurter without inviting loud horse-laughs. Chairman Fletcher denies his group is a “brain trust,” but Washington correspondents can’t ‘think of any other name for it and many Repub- ican members of congress are tear- ing their hair over what they con- sider an unprecedented piece of stu- Pidity. ee * Columnists Get “Boost” ~ 2—Mr. Theodore Huntley, boss press a rr ale MONDAY, APRIL 27, 1936 ey FRIGHTPULLY sorey To S€€ You GO LiKe THIS, OLD Boy! agent of the national committee, broadcast a notice to newspaper edi- tors that he was prepared to furnish news stories and propaganda in -ac- cordance with whatever was wanted.

A provision in the pro- posed bill requires a state to levy gas tax and license fees which will be equal to the average throughout the nation if that state is to receive full benefit of federal aid highway funds. If the gas tax plus the licence fees are equal to the average for the United States, then the state can pay maintenance, over- head and other costs and match such funds as jt is able to match and then the balance of federal aid monies can be used without matching. If a state's gas tax and license fees are not equal to average for the na- tion, the state will be allowed to use as much federal aid money as it can, but any sum that.cannot be matched cannot be used to pay 100 per cent of construction costs. So‘ it - behooves each car cost an average of $900 in-| North Dakota will probably lose ap- cluding trucks and busses, the figures| proximately $2,000,000.00 which must would indicate that $158,277,700.00 of|be matched by the state highway de- North Dakota's money was practically | partment by July 1, 1937. Under the Proposed legislation now pending tied up in motor vehicles. Some of) im the vehicles (commercial trucks and busses) of course, pay for themselves through the revenue they produce. But there are thousands which are have to raise taxes, borrow through a the federal decent roads over which to operate their automobiles. Of course, there are some who will object strenuously to an increase in motor vehicle taxes, but those are the persons who are first to “damn” ele department for poor. It is reasonable to believe that, it all simmers down: to one point. North Dakota must pay for North Dakota's roads. A three-wheel automobile, shaped like an airplane, said to travel nearly 60 miles on a gallon of fuel, is being manufactured in Germany. Complete in every detail, a 66-inch lution in highway construction which will leave the road system with the lowest maintenance costs in history and, at the same time, give the motor- ists the best roads in history. It can truly be sald that we have entered a new era in road building. Your Personal Health By William Brady, M. D. juestions pertaining Dr. Brady will answer h disease or diagnosis.

I made a bad start in my reduction program. I began taking a certain chemical (better not even mention it now) which had just been introduced by some good physicians. This chemical has the effect of speeding up me- tabolism. It literally burns off excess fat. But alas it soon developed that the wonderful new medicine had some pretty serious side effects, notal tendency to cause cataract, and two or three persons who took it died of the toxic effects, I had lost six pounds in three weeks alarming observations were made. I decided I’d rather be corpse. My only regret is that I permitted my enthusiasm of my judgment and recommended the chemical in recommended it I warned that it could be safely given sonal supervision of a physician; compared it with This chemical had been introduced to the profession in the Jour. American Medical Association, than which no other authorit medium purports to be more reliable. Later the Journal warned its as promptly as I warned mine about the danger. » A few months after that experiment, when I was still trying to make my mind whether to become resigned to a shortened life, as one must one takes on excess weight after thirty, or whether to give up murder stories altogether and the buttered popcorn that goes-with them—I couldn’t enjoy the one without the other—a medical friend found the solution of my prob- Jem and, I believe, of the cause, prevention and cure of nutritional obesity. This is my opinion two years afterward, I am more firmly convinced of it now than I was when I first applied my colleague's suggestion and reduced. to normal weight comfortably and readily. In the simplest words this is the gist of it: We eat to supply the de- mand of the body for nutriment, nourishment, pabulum, food, sustenance, material for growth, repair, energy, warmth. These vital require various materials, such as protein, fat, carbohydrate, minerals, vitamins, If one or more of the essential materials be lacking or present in insufficient Proportion in the food, then instinctively we crave more food and consume more, in whatever form may be available, the excess piling up as fat, and we keep right on eating too much of the wrong food and being poorly nour- ished. Now which elements are likely to be deficient in everyday diet of ordinary folk? First, vitamins; then minerals.
