Since authorization to put additional people to work came through 18 days ago, just 18,542 persons had been put to work by Saturday evening. Thus drouth sufferers were being cared for at the rate of a little more than 1,000 a day. And the record still continues. As fast as needy farmers are certified to WPA by the various county welfare boards, their names are placed on Uncle Sam’s payroll and they are assigned to jobs. Some of the jobs, it is true, are of a “made” work charac- ter. The human need is so great that the government cannot afford to spend much for tools and equipment. In comparison with modern industry, where machines are used in place of men, no one claims that the WPA is efficient. But in the work assigned to it—that of relieving human misery—it has done and is doing an outstanding job and the people of North Dakota ought to appreciate it. Perhaps they will when all of those who are in need of work have been certi- fied and accepted, but at present there is some grumbling, di- rected at both the welfare boards and WPA. The welfare boards are bearing the brunt of criticism because they are re- quired to certify the eligibility of applicants for WPA labor. The WPA is getting some of the heat because people are not wholly familiar with the fact that it can put to work only those recommended by the state agency. The fact of the matter is that the entire relief system is functioning much better than would possibly be the case were its critics in charge. Officials and employes are doing their jobs and, on the whole, are doing them well. In this emergency there is no tendency to watch the clock or to take things easy. Conditions would make a lackadaisical attitude a crime against humanity and it is refreshing to note that there is nothing of that in the current effort. Much of the credit for making the WPA an efficient agency for relief in North Dakota must go to Thomas H. Moodie, whose enthusiasm, determination and tenacity have inspired his entire force. As WPA administrator he has done an outstanding job, perhaps a better one than he would have been permitted to do had he been retained in the office of governor to which the people elected him two years ago this fall. Under Moodie there has been no politics and no pettifog- ging in the WPA set-up. He has provided as good an organiza- tion as it was possible to do under the limitations which hedge such enterprises. That some of the grumbling against the WPA comes from members of his own party is not surprising. Tom Moodie hates chiselers and he hates political chican- ery. He has not hesitated to rebuke those who would have saddled the WPA with incompetents because of their political service or those who would make a political football of a great endeavor for the relief of a suffering people. On this basis, he and his organization deserve the encour- agement and support of every right-thinking citizen. A Good Idea, But— Proposal by Governor Welford that farms should be taxed on their productivity is eminently sensible as a declaration of intention. The difficulty lies in determining how such a con- dition could be brought about. This, in effect, has been the aim of our taxation experts for years. They have struggled long and mightily and have been a good deal like the mountain in that they have managed to bring forth only mice in the way of tax readjustment. We have made a start in that direction through the classi- fication of land in various counties, but our progress has been feeble and halting. The aims the governor outlines COULD be achieved but it is doubtful if the people of the state have either the will or the heart to effect the needed changes. Itwould require, first of all, a fundamental change in our ways of thinking and a hard- boiled appraisal of the facts as they are. Before that could be done some politician would be pretty certain to so becloud the issue that the people would hardly have a fair chance to put the needed reforms into effect. Then, too, not everyone would regard the aim as wholly desirable. Many farmers who, through one method or another, are escaping their fair share of the tax burden on a compara- tive basis, would hardly enthuse about the new system, might conceivably be able to defeat it. Most citizens will wish the governor well in whatever method he chooses to bring this dream of a better tax system to fruition, but the best bet, in the light of past abortive efforts in the same direction, is that it will come to naught. All or Nothing It would give the American public a great deal more confi- dence in its law-enforcement agencies if criminals accused of crime were convicted, once in a while, of the thing with which they were charged rather than with some other offense. ‘THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE, MONDAY, AUGUSL 10, 1936 : ‘ - Behind the Scenes Washington Now... Sightless, By RODNEY DUTCHER | (Tribune Washington Correspondent) Washington, Aug. 10.—One of the big laughs of the summer in Wash- ington is the way the radical boys and girls in the New Deal ranks have taken Mr. Roosevelt to their bosoms and proclaimed him as their hero and sole hope of salvation. What I mean is the rather large sprinkling of minor officials and rank and file employes making from $2,200 to $4,600 a year—and in some cases & little more—who were hired for the more Socialistic than otherwise. They owed their jobs to friends higher up in the New Deal who con- Laughable Scramble Staged by Radi- cals Toward F. R.’s Banner... «| | They're Thinking About Their Jobs .

Miss Craig headed a field of 34 golf- ers with a 50-45—05. Agnes (Pat) Murphy of Jamestown, the 1833 champion, had a 44 going out, but came in with a 52 to finish a stroke behind Miss Craig as did Mrs, Roy Hall of Fargo, the second former champion in the field. Nadine O'Leary of Bismarck, 1935 winner, is not defending her cham- pionship. Qualifying scores of entrants fol- ier: Mrs, Stan Lasky, Waspeton, 51-60— 101, Mrs. W.“F. Warner, Fargo, 46-54— 100.

A year or two ago most of them were damning Roosevelt all over the place, accusing him in their pirvate sessions of being a stooge for Big Business, of being a hypocrite mas- querading as a true liberal, of taking the conservative path rather than the road to the left in all major pinches.

Characteristically, she had come to the point at once.. “Helena, do you know anything about sports?” “Why, I—I'm afraid not,” Helena had faltered. “Surely you must know something about them,” Miss Landes urged. “At least yoy know what a smart woman should wear for swimming and ten- {nis and—” she waved her hand vague- ly, “well, badminton?” “Y-yes, I think I do.” Miss Landes replaced her spectacles. “Good! And before fall you can learn something about the winter sports, too.” She smiled at Helena. “You see, Miss Little in the sportswear de- partment is leaving the first of the month, I thought you might like to have her place.” Helena Derrik had gasped. The sportswear department was one of the most important in Helvig’s. It was important not so much because of the volume of business, but be- cause of the fact that it drew the daughters of wealthier families in the city. “You realize, of course,” Miss Lan- des said, “what the sportswear de- partment means. Its customers are chiefly young girls with money to spend—young girls who can influence their families to maintain an account at Helvig’s ... or not maintain an account at Helvig’s.” “But, Miss Landes, I—” “It’s my opinion,” went on the per- sonnel manager imperturbably, “that you can handle the sportswear de- partment even better than Miss Lit- tle. You are good-looking, and you've that healthy, outdoor look that a girl in that department ought to have. But that's not what convinced me, Helena. I’ve watched you in our ultimatums of Miss Landes, the per- sonnel manager of Helvig’s. She had been wise in taking home the little pamphlets which Miss Landes handed out to her “class” of salesgirls. The majority of the girls seemed to think the whole thing a great joke, and only a few studied the pamphlets. “Why should I worry myself to death after good. At best, Schall was very far from being as helpful to Republicans as men like Vandenberg of Michigan, who placed their shots well. * 8 Gore Came Back Gore has been more effective, aside from being recognized as the senate’s most accomplished wisecracker. He was voted out of congress after he had opposed American entry into the World War, and voted back in 1930 by Oklahomans who apparently felt that perhaps he had been right. But he had become conservative and his oft-expressed contempt for the New Deal just wasn’t enough to renominate him. Nevertheless, the example of two blind men who fought their way to the senate despite tremendous handi- caps will remain an inspiration for other bling’ persons. There #% one blind member of the house, Matthew A. Dunn of Pitts- burgh, a former newsboy. He became @ newsdealer and an insurance brok- er, served three terms in the Pennsyl- vania legislature, and was elected to congress in 1932. Dunn is a Democrat. (Copyright, 1936, NEA Service, Inc.)

The Fascist rebels are the Fas- cist party, much of the regular army, supporters of a powerful church, monasteries, property owners and those who are against Socialism and for a strong cen- tral and even dictatorial govern- ment. The rebellion started July 18 in Morocco which the rebels control and spread to Spain where the rebels are particularly strong in the north. ‘The rebels hoped to take Mad- rid, the capital, quickly but the navy generally remained loyal to the government and made it dif- ficult for the rebels to bring their 40,000 troops from Morocco. So far only about 8,000 have been brought to the mainland by air and sea.
