Back to the Soil Last year and the year before that, the federal farm credit administration poured millions of dollars into this area to keep farmers on their farms. It aided in reducing their debts and, at the same time, enabled many loaning concerns to turn what looked like bad real estate investments into cash. Now it is engaged in selling a good many of the farms which it previously had acquired by granting easy terms to pur- chasers. From Oct, 1, 1935, to June 1 this year, according to its reports, it has financed the purchase of 353 North Dakota farms under such conditions. Of the total number 64 were bought from the bank, either on a mortgage basis or contract terms, while 289 were purchased from other owners with funds supplied by the bank. The natural inference is that these purchases reflect confi- dence in the future of farming in this state, and that is as rea- sonable an explanation as any. But that may not be all there is to it. Involved in some degree may be the operation of economic pressure upon persons who, unable to make a go of things in the cities, desire to return to the soil and try their hand there. There may be some significance in the fact that the tendency to purchase farms is more pronounced in the region served by the St. Paul Land Bank than in any other part of the country. During the last half of 1935, 14.5 per cent of the money loaned by the bank went to such purchases. During the first half of this year the proportion increased to 19 per cent. This figure is said to be larger than prevails in any other region. It may be that many persons feel we have reached the bot- tom in this area and that now is the time to buy. Death in Britain One of the unpleasant facts which has been dinned into American ears in recent years is the rather poor showing which . we make with regard to law enforcement in comparison with our British cousins. Yet there is one field in which, strangely enough, we have a better record, even though our own has been a constant cause for concern for years. For England, believe it or not, has more automobile deaths in proportion to the number of cars on the roads than has the United States. In 1935, according to official reports, about 6,500 persons were killed and 219,000 injured. This, however, was a drop from 7,340 killed and 231,600 injured in 1934, and the apparent trend is downward. The principle adopted to achieve this reduction, despite the fact that the number of vehicles in use increased at the rate of 450 a day, is that each driver must prove his ability to use an automobile safely. The English, long a sea-going people, decided to apply to automobiles the same rules which apply in selecting officers for ships and engineers for railroads. Thus every applicant is given a test and 14 per cent of those who apply have been rejected as unfit. As a result the hazards of the highway are reduced by improving the average ability of the drivers—and the drivers are the persons responsible for almost every accident. Studies made in the United States show that a minority of reckless, careless and incompetent drivers are responsible for vastly more than their share of mishaps.

The Bismarck Tribune Behind Scenes Washington By RODNEY DUTCHER (Tribune Washington Correspondent) ‘Washington, Aug. 7.—It isn’t exact- ly a scoop to report that Republicans have taken over the old Democratic shibboleth of state’s rights and that the Democratic party is now carrying the hod for the advocates of concen- trated federal power. There have been laughs long before this over that reversal of position. It is more important to raise the question as to how it will all turn out, to guess which side is riding the win- ning horse, and to speculate as to the THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1936 The Vanishing American 150 years and in the last 100 years, much of which has been spent under Republican presidents, there has been no important step away from this federalist trend. One is reminded of this fact by Irving Brant in his book, “Storm Over the Constitution,” subtitled “Democracy Turns to Federalism.” Mr. Brant is chief editorialist for the St. Louis Star-Times and an out- standing authority on the writings of the Founding Fathers. The question whether the tendency is good or bad may be one for argu- ment. The question whether it will continue, now that the -Republicans are more or less sworn to stop it, is something else again. To date, Brant makes clear, the flow has all been in one direction, with occasional periods of great ac- celeration, such as that of the New ee * ; C A = The best mi fatigue Property Rights to Fore 7 i .
