But “cleanliness is next to Godliness” from a civic as well 4y8 & personal standpoint and the least anyone can do is to make lis premises clean. That requires no expenditure of money. a demands only that the citizen be interested enough in his ®wn surroundings to contribute a little time and a modicum of blbaw grease. In those cases where money has been spent on preserva- gion and beautification it usually has proved a good investment. eJnpainted homes quickly decrease in value, both because of un- fightly appearance and the fact that failure to paint speeds «he day when costly repairs become necessary if the home is to temain habitable. 3 Grass, trees, shrubs and flowers contribute to the enjoy- ment of a home as few things can do and they are relatively ‘heap. If perennial plants are beyond the reach of anyone’s pocketbook it should be remembered that a worthwhile flower den may be had for a few pennies, for most seed packets sell ‘or only five cents, 4 The record of Bismarck in the past has been good. Few, yndeed, have been the cases in which property owners have tailed to cooperate. There have been cases where the city has aad to clean up vacant lots held by absentee owners, but even chese cases have been rare. The record shows that in few things has the city been more shoroughly united than on the subject of making Bismarck a deautiful place in which to live. Everyone has aided in the movement, from the committeemen in charge to the humblest sitizen. All deserve equal credit, for this is a job in which everyone has a share. There is every reason to assume that this year's commit- tee will get the same splendid assistance on every hand. The Boy Scouts, as always, are contributing their services and every effort is being made to rouse interest. But these are incidental things. The factor which counts most is the natural desire of every person to hold up his end in this common responsibility, his natural dislike to be looked upon as a laggard and a slacker. OLITICS PERTINAX 1) and malice e With charity for toward In the Limelight North Dakota crowded into the na- tional political limelight this week when Congressman Bill Lemke mus- tered enough signers to insure his in- flationary farm-relief bill of a vote in the house. Lemke and Senator Frazier have advocated this legislation for several years, making the welkin ring in these parts with speeches for it and accusa- tions against those who opposed it, but up to now it has not been a national issue except in the minds of its advo- cates. ‘When enough signatures to bring it before the house were obtained this situation changed with it. The bill becomes a major issue and what hap- pens to it will have repercussions in the presidential campaign, particu- larly in the west. No Final Decision Even though the house votes on it, there is little likelihood that the bill will become a law at this session. Whether or not it will pass the house is a question, even though a majority of the membership has signed the petition to bring it up. At first blush its passage would seem assured but the fact that a congress- man signed the petition doesn’t mean that he will vote for the bill. Some may have signed merely to bring the matter to an issue, to “take a dig” at the house leadership or for other rea- sons even more obscure. There is a lot of political jockeying going on in con- gress and a measure like the Frazier- Lemke bill offers opportunity for some fast work. But taking things as they appear on the surface it would seem that the bill has a fair chance of passing the lower house. Its Ultimate Fate Assuming that it will pass the house it becomes proper to make a guess as to its ultimate fate. And when one gets into this field he encounters a lot of possibilities, The most likely fate of the bill is that it will pass—eventually. But when it does it will be in such form that its sponsors will hardly rec- ognize it. It might even be so badly mangled that its sponsors will vote against it. This has happened before with regard to measures of this kind and can easily happen again. The time of passage—if ever—will be within the next year or two but not at this session. With congress driv- ing toward adjournment it has no chance whatever of getting through the senate this year. The Congressional Process In its passage through congress what is likely to happen can be established by the fate of bills of a similar na- ure. In the first place it will be buried tee and a long struggle to get it on the calendar will ensue. Before it reaches the senate floor it is quite likely to have undergone substantial amendment. Then the bill will go to conference between committees of the two cham- bers. It may die there and it may not. If it gets out it will be in a form more present bill. Prophecy is always a dangerous business but congressional proceed- ures and habits are well known and there is plenty of precedent for this estimate.

It is an unusual man, indeed, who does not like to get | out in it with his rake, his hoe and the other implements need- ed in the battle for cleanliness and beauty. The committee's urging is just an added factor in the equa- tion. Most of us go in for clean-up and paint-up activities be- cause we like them. Water in the West Even though the precipitation here is below normal for the year to date it is encouraging to learn that there is more water in the west this year than for years past. Heavy snows fell in the mountains and reports to the department of interior indicate that nearly every reservoir used to impound water for irrigation purposes is filled to overflowing. The amount now stored is} ‘twice that of last year. Altogether, 10,016,359 acre feet of water are stored behind jdams on federal reclamation projects. This is enough to cover ithe entire state of Connecticut to a depth of three feet. t Thus the 750,000 citizens living on land supplied with water from these reservoirs are assured of ample moisture and we, urther east, may receive some incidental benefits, even though they will be slight. Winds from the west blowing over lush vegetation pick up ithe water transpired by plants and some of those irrigating gal- jlons may fall in North Dakota by delayed delivery. There is reason to believe that recent sharp decreases in western forest areas have contributed to a reduction in the rain- fall here, since forests are a stabilizing factor with regard to climate. These adverse effects may, in some degree, be compen- sated for by the climatic effects of expanded irrigation. In lany event it is pleasant to know that there is plenty of water | in the country. Real Wages Increase Did your income go up last month? If it didn’t you are not quite an average American, for the Jatest figures show a gain of 3.4 per cent for the average resi- dent of this country. But even if you didn’t get a raise you are better off this month than last, for thé cost of living dropped slightly and your ‘dollar will buy a little more. : Take the two things together and the satisticians figure that the average American got an increase of 4.4 per. cent in | real wages; that is, in purchasing power. og It is a pleasant situation, even though some got more than , for the man whose income hasn’t been increased may Pp substantially later on, When the trend is upward nearly ‘everyone is certain to share in it sooner or later. : that Detroit. revolving door robbery, the victimized messenger was a re ee ee Bree mend wi the bali-up Ba. et wille, Ga., fruit peddler paid his doctor with several bushels of ‘wondered whether the physician will take the hint. of the currency instead of the indi- rect inflation now being used. But that argument will fade into the background when the effect of such a bill on the nation’s financial structure comes up for examination. For the fact is that it might hammer down the standard rate of interest to the one and a half per cent which would be offered to farmers under the bill as it now stands, Under its terms farmers will be able to obtain loans at that rate with their farms as security—and thereby become a highly favored class of debtors. Business has never paid more for money than have the farmers—and it isn't likely to. Therefore the demand will be made—and with reason—that other government loans be made on the same basis. City homeowners will assert—and correctly—that they can offer security which is just as good as the farmers and ought to have money at the same rate. Busi- nessmen will demand the same con- sideration and would very likely get if The ultimate result would, of course, be to make the government an even bigger loaning agency than it is now with the standard rate of in- terest whatever figure happened to be named in the bill. This would mean sharp curtail- ment of income for investors and seriously handicap the capitalistic system under which we live, for its cornerstone is interest. This enables the possessor of money to ‘make money by investing it. Examination of the many ramifi- cations will show the tremendous forces which will be arrayed against the bill now that it is becoming a real issue. Aligned against them will be thuse who regard it as a means to economic salvation. On this basis it seems reasonable to look for a compromise. All of this assumes that the pres- sure for the bill can be maintained. If it isn‘t the thing will die a natural death in committee if it isn’t quietly killed some day when most people have forgotten about it. No Apparent Changes the current week brought little change. Whatever the cause, Democrats seemed to gain new hope and cour- age in the country as a whole. How an important wing of the Republican party feels was revealed here by Col Theodore Roosevelt, Jr. in an inter- view with The Tribune. This group sees an opportunity but isn’t sure the party will be able to take advantage of it.

Best Joke of the Week The best joke of the week was maneuvering for position between rival Nonpartisan factions at Devils Lake meeting where Colonel Roosevelt was the guest of honor. Governor Welford was there in his official capacity, his opponent candidate for office. The net result was nothing, but it was funny to watch. Meantime the intra-factional strife in Nonpartisan ranks goes on with each side laying up its ammunition and waiting to see the whites of the enemey’s eyes. ad Maybe Yes and Maybe Ne Some predictions are @ dirty campaign. there will be some efforts to make it so but these may prove abortive.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS The Acidosis Obsession Please inform me if beets, corn, peas and peats are acid, that is, do they leave acid waste in the system? ... (L, A.) Answer—No, all the foods mentioned yield rather alkaline residue. The chief items which leave acid residue are beef, eggs, fish, shellfish, bread, rice, oatmeal. But any such possible preponderance of acid is neutralized or balanced by the preponderance of alkaline residue left by such foods as beans, carrots, tomatoes, peas, celery, olives, cauliflower, potato, rutabaga, oranges, bananas, canteloupe. It is really silly to give any thought to the acid or alkaline residue left by food. Answer—It was about the experiment of the polar explorers, Stefansson and Anderson, who voluntarily subsisted for a year on exclusive meat diet, | While authorities conducted studies of the effects. Reports of the studies 29;| have been published in numerous scientific journals. Perhaps you can get some information by inquiring of the Russel Sage Foundation or the Ameri- can Institute of Meat Packers, who contributed funds to carry on the studies, New York and Chicago respectively. Never Mind What is the normal blood pressure of a man 43 years old who eats rather lightly and leads a quiet life? He has been taking Cits baths to lower it... (H. E. H.) Answer—I have no idea. It would depend on his condition, that is, on what, if anything, is the matter with the man. It seems to me mischievous to worry about the blood pressure as it is for an amateur mother to guess about her precious infant’s temperature. Better leave such things (Copyright 1936, John F.
