A Job for Everyone When Louis Garske, Bismarck dairyman, stood beside a WPA dam project in Morton county and told President Roose- velt: “Give us water; let us have a little irrigation and we'll get along,” he epitomized in few words what the members of his drouth committee had told the president a few hours earlier. It takes neither genius or training to put the finger on the fundamental ill which long has beset this area. The scientists on the committee may have reached the conclusion by a differ- ent route but they arrived at the same place. The farmers know by hard experience and suffering, the observers merely by heresay and the testimony of their eyes, but the brown and seared prairies needed no interpreters. The empty barns, pitifully thin livestock and empty granaries were evidence which no one could ignore. But the cry of the farmers and the report of the commit- tee both stopped at setting forth a vision of what could be. The task—and it will be a long, hard one—is to so work toward the common aim that this dream will come true. How to do this must engage the attention of both government and individual alike, and by government is meant every branch of civil ad- ministration whose powers can be brought to bear upon the job. It is regrettable that, as of this moment, the report of the drouth committee has little standing other than that which it achieves as a campaign document. It is something for the fu- ture, a nebulous thing, as ghostlike as a dream castle in some far-off Elysium. UNLESS IT IS PUT INTO EFFECT IT MEANS NO MORE THAN OTHER FINE PLANS WHICH NOW GATHER DUST IN THE ARCHIVES OF GOVERNMENT. This is sad but true, for the business of merely keeping people alive has so depleted the federal treasury that funds for constructive enterprise are lacking. It is a shame, too, because we now have available the largest resource of man power in the history of the state. We have on the WPA payroll enough men to do almost anything but little or no money to buy land or construction materials. It would be far better if this manpower could be set to work on the things which we eventually must do, but there is no use in crying over a situation which it will be impossible to cure until congress meets again. Meanwhile, North Dakota might concentrate on the job of selling the nation the WISDOM of making a national investment in this region. Had any of us been forward looking enough in 1934 to see the situation which was developing, we might have induced the government to put into constructive works the tremendous sums of money which have been poured into this state to keep our people and our old system of agriculture alive. Such a prophet could have saved the government not only some of the millions it has spent for which there is no hope of recovery but the other millions which it will lose because loans, which looked fair enough then, will not pay out. There is and has been a marked tendency on the part of some people to ask for the wrong kind of help. They have reached the conclusion that the world (and by world they mean the government) owes them a living. They are content with the security of relief checks. But their number is few and their lack of standing makes them unimportant. They are not truly representative of North Dakota. They do not express the true spirit of these prairies which makes the ability to stand on one’s own feet a prize worth the seeking by any man. The kind of help which the constructive people of North Dakota are asking trom the federal government is of the sort which should be extended to any section of the nation under similar circumstances, for the product of these prairies is even more important to the long-range welfare of the nation than the fate of the people who now live here. The food surplus of a few years ago has been turned by drouth into a shortage and with the standard of living and the number of people both rising it behooves America to look to her future food supply. But action by the federal government alone is not enough. We must get our own backs under the load, capitalize upon the initiative and ability of our own people and upon the abilities of our local governments. The reconstruction of this area is a job for US not for any bureaucracy, no matter how well-intentioned. We must, for example, get state and local action on water conservation. The dams which now are being constructed will need repairs from time to time and provision for this should be made now lest, at some time in the future, a large number of washed out dams become a monument to our tendency to let Uncle Sam do it.

First there was the interest and speculation sirred up by Lemke’s can- didacy for president on the Union A Logical Selection Come to think of it, the selection of North Dakota for this purpose was logical enough. On the basis of agricultural con- ditions it was either one of the Da- kotas or Kansas and the latter state | was eliminated by a disinclination to invade Landon’s state in this peculiar way. Since North Dakota was the logical northern terminus for the trip of the crouth committee, the selection of Bismarck was what is termed a “natural.” This state and South Dakota are more seriously and more generally affected by the drouth than any others. The dust bowl of western Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado and Ok- lJahoma is relatively a small area and covers only a small part of the states affected. In the Dakotas the drouth man; and that he holds men account- able for their acts in relation to them, both in making laws and adminis- tering them, for the good of society. “We believe that no government can exist.in peace, except as such laws are framed and held inviolate as will secure to each individual the free exercise of conscience, the right and control of property, and the protec- tion of life.” Then President Heker Grant drew attention to the following quotation trom Joseph Smith, one of the found- ers of the church: “The constitution of the United States is a glorious standard; it is founded in the wisdom of God. It is is statewide.

It is like @ great tree under whose branches men from every clime can be shield- ed from the burning rays of the sun.” After reading that quotation, Pres- ie Grant made this comment him- self: “Some men are ridiculing today the idea that old men, old fossils, 80 to speak, are on the supreme court bench. Well, I do not believe any member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints can consistently do that.” ment era” also occurs an editorial entitled “Warning to Church Mem- bers,” which says: “With great regret we learn from credible sources, governmental and others, that a few church members are joining directly or indirectly the Communists and are taking part in their activities. “The church does not interfere, and has no intention of trying to interfere with the fullest and freest exercise of the political franchise of its members, under and within our constitution ... + “But Communism is not a political party nor a political plan under our constitution; it is a system of gov- ernment that is the oj ite of our constitutional government and it would be necessary to destroy our government before Communism could be set up in the United States.” The further warning is then given that Communism, Fascism and Nazi-; ism “may be judged by this principle | —whatever endangers to the least de- gree man’s right to act for himself is not of God and must be resisted by Latter-day Saints.” The editorial goes on to say: was not written in Washington—but | agreed to give it it could have been. for govarter.

Just Muddling Along State politics have been muddling along, probably will continue to do so until the election. To date none of the state campaign organizations have shown either ac- tivity or sense of direction. And that includes the numerous independents. The reason lies in both the personal differences which must be overcome among the men in the various camps, the lack of finances and the sharp division in political sentiment among the voters. The question bothering each camp is how to approach the electorate in the way best calculated to win votes, what issues to stress and what atti- tude to take, and where to get some money. The National Complication Complicating the issue—and this is particularly true for the Republicans —is what attitude to take on the na- tional campaign. The Democrats are going to attach themselves to Roosevelt and hope he will be popular enough to carry them through. Whether the Republicans will do the same with Landan remains to be seen. Some of Governor Walter Welford’s advisers want him to do just that. home counties. Follows Thompson Formula In a radio speech Friday announc- | ing his acquiescence to the “draft” movement, Langer adopted the tactics of “Big Bill” Thompson who cam- paigned for mayor of Chicago on a platform denouncing the king of Eng- land. His version was that, if elected | governor, he would favor an embargo against the importation of foreign ag- reultural products, a thing which can be done only by action, of the national government, He also took a stand that the gov- ernment should cancel all debts owed it by farmers for either feed or seed, for more generous relief and a sys- tem whereby county commissioners and township boards would handle the government's relief money. These things also are matters for national action. The ghost of the moratorium, dead these many months, also was raised as an issue. It was a red hot thing a few years ago but little interest has | been shown in it in the last few years. ; NTINUE Co_reart 175 Lutherans Attend Mandan Circuit Meet cussion of the consciousness of val- | Fosmarck of Dunn Center, with pa- | son, Bismarck, and a quartet from the During the first half of this year 15,798 couples were united in wedlock in the Dominion as compared with 14,923 In June the number of marriages totaled 4,504 as com- ‘There was a time when the number of marriages in Canada increased because young folks realized they could get more pee he was “drafted’ ‘to run as an money if they were married then if they were single, but time has passed.
