If, as forecast, he scores another hit for the third week in July it might be well to give more attention to these sun spot experts. : * Their theory, as expressed in a paper by Henry Helm Clay- ton of Canton, Mass., in a paper approved by the Smithsonian Institution as long ago as 1920, is that if there were no varia- tion in solar radiation the atmospheric motions would establish a stable system, with exchanges of air between equator and pole and between ocean and land, in which the only variations would be the daily and annual changes set in operation by the relative motions of the earth and sun. From this stems the further deduction that the abnormal changes which are known as weather have their origin chiefly, if not entirely, in the variations of solar radiation. As a study it is very interesting and great practical bene- fits may come from it. Certainly, since the sun sustains all life on this planet, it is worth all the study our scientific men can give it. But as a practical matter, these researches will be accurately on a long-time basis. is not enough. If we could accurately predict the weather for the next five or 10 years we would have ample time in which to make prep- | arations for whatever exigencies might arise, but to know now f that we will have a wet September, for example, would mean little to the bulk of the population and have little effect on our commercial and industrial plans and activities. A month or two in advance Helping the Hoppers Some fields in Burleigh county haven't been plowed in the last 10 years, though they have been regularly seeded to small grain, and this situation is ideal for grasshoppers, according to federal entomologists who have been investigating the habits of this perennial pest. Their studies show the agricultural activities in the Great Plains during the last 20 years to have been helpful rather than harmful to grasshoppers. maturity. Patches of bare, compact ground near plenty of succulent vegetation are ideal for hopper propagation. Before the white man’s plow turned the prairie sod these conditions could be counted on only in the river bottoms, but now they exist every- where, in plowed fields, along roadsides, railroad rights-of-way | and in fence rows and along ditch banks. In the old days when drouth struck vegetation dried up and the grasshoppers starved when young, but now those by The Bismarck Tribune Company, Bismarck, W.

Kansas Solons to Let People Vote on Acts Topeka, Kansas., July 8.—(?)—De- spite minority demands for immedi- ate action on social security legisla- tion, the Kansas legislature moved Wednesday toward an early end of the special session called by Gov. Alf. M. Landon for consideration of con- stitutional changes to clear the way for such enactments. The legisla- ture will have a regular session next January. Governor Landon, the “public obligation” of social se- curity, told the assembly Tuesday the necessity for changes in the state constitution had been impressed on him by a majority of its lawyer members. The house voted 64 to 47 against consideration of immediate social se- curity legislation. Frazier Arraignment Slated at Williston Williston, N. D. July 8—()—Ar- raignment of Roy W* Frazier, division maintenance engineer of the state highway department, on charges of unlawfully discharging a firearm, was expected Wednesday in district court.

Way Ahead Now Until mid-June the record of highway fatalities in North Dakota for 1936 was. somewhat lower than for the same date of the year before. During most of the winter roads were closed and our 4 safety mark was much better for that period. As a result we _- went into the summer in better position to make a good record | than usually is the case. But the figures carried: in The Tribune’s “score” prove that the last few months have brought more violations of the rules of safety than any similar period in North Dakota’s his- tory. On June 6, the number of persons killed in motor mishaps was 18, as compared with 25 for the previous year. In the last month 21 persons have been killed, bringing the score to 39 for 1936 as compared with 83 for the same date _ & year ago. 4 is out other people, now healthy and en- Bite tee ear ads 3 will eed gone to their graves by the same route.

Having heard for three years that the Democrats did not carry out their 1932 platform, the persons who draft- ed the 1936. platforms of both parties purposely wrote general phrases so that legislators would have the neces- sary lee-way to meet changing con- ditions and to deal with the contro- versial aspects which so often neces- sitate a compromise law that appears to deviate from a platform pledge. To this series of six dispatches deal- ing with important platform planks, an effort will be made to explain, so far as possible, the scope of the Re- publican and Democratic promises be- cause, while they may seem in some instances to be saying the same thing, an examination of a phrase or word here and there will show the point of deviation. Take “social security” which in- cludes a multitude of proposed .re- forms ranging from old age pensions to unemployment insurance. One might get the impression that the New Deal platform, which happens to be very brief on the subject, was not very comprehensive but the truth is the social security act already on the statute books is the New Deal's real plank on this topic and it would have encumbered the platform consider- ably to have attempted to reproduce its long clauses. Still there is in the New Deal plank a hint of possible change and a faint suggestion of awareness that perhaps the Republicans are right in their charge that some of the provisions of the present law are unworkable. If one were disposed to be partisan, he might say that the social security act was adopted in a hurry to get something written into law and into operation and that for a hasty job it was well done. But this is only to con- cede that social security is one of the many changes in accord with the de- mands of a public opinion that will have a good deal to say on the subject for the next 50 years. enormous problems of the generation and that no matter which party is; elected in 1936 or 1940 there will be: The New Deal platform speaks of having “built foundations for the se- “ David Lawrence tively secondary phase of their social security program because they have set up a system of old-age annuities to provide for persons who are not necessarily in want and they think that this plan would make unneces- sary any special provision for the needy. In other words, the New Deal plank assumes that over @ period of years the old-age annuity plan would take care of those who would be apt to be- come a public burden through relief as well as those who have been thrifty and saved through what is really a “forced saving” plan. This at present means @ tax on payrolls and individual employment incomes for years to come. The Republicans attack the latter idea as being fantastic and danger- ous. They declare that the proposed $50,000,000,000 reserve fund which would be built up out of payroll taxes and income payments by employes would be used to buy in the public debt or would be invested in govern- ment projects so that the money would not be available in case of eco- nomic emergencies and would be a joney. On the other hand, the criticism made of the Republican plan is that if old age benefits are confined only to those in need the tendency for pen- sion rolls on that basis is to increase from year to year. It is estimated taat 1,000,000 out of the 7,000,000 per- sons above the age of 65 are at pres- sent on relief so that if each got $30 month ($15 from the federal govern- {spread in the tax mechanism, but the critics of the plan say that the ten- jdency is for relatives to shift the bur- den to the government in many in- stances so that the percentage that be trebled.

It is essential for the working of the plan that 3 per cent be earned. The federal government is not able to issue securites for these big amounts unless it proposes to keep on going in debt by means of public work projects. The experts disagree on the answer to all this for there is no immediately clear solution of the tangled problem. Both parties, however, tried to show their hearts were in’ the right place and the New Deal plan now on the; statute books will more assuredly re-| quire revision if not repeal of un- workable sections. portal will Aefly queries must ine soe or diketoate“wite ee (!
