All rights of republication of all other matter herein are also reserved 3,500,000 Ruined Persons , Fifteen billion dollars is a lot of money but it is only a small part of the cost of the nation’s annual crime bill, according to J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the G-men, who should be something of an authority on this subject. ¥ Discussing the general problem of crime on Saturday be- fore a religious organization at New York, he asserted that the annual crime bill of $15,000,000,000 “is considerably dwarfed as a factor in the true cost of crime.” Hoover has been pictured as the cool, relentless hunter of criminals who, once he takes the trail, always gets his man. He is the successful pursuer. But back of and beyond his own part in the grisly theme he notes the lost human values and is sickened. Listen: “When we consider that there are in America 3,500,000 persons whose chances in life have either been handicapped or absolutely ruined by their attempts to defeat the law, we begin to understand what crime really costs. When we realize that these 3,500,000 per- sons annually roll up a total of 1,500,000 serious crimes, each one of which affects the victim in some moral, mental, or physical man- ner, we are shocked even more. Beyond that, we must consider the social and financial wreckage brought upon an entire family when one of its members is sent to prison. “When we are confronted with the fact that the crime army of America includes more than 700,000 boys and girls of less than vot- ing age, who, at the very threshold of life, were cut off from worthy careers, then, indeed, the cost of crime is recognized as a ghastly one. But the expense does not end even here. What of the 700,000 mothers who risked their lives to bring these 700,000 boys and girls into the world? “These women once held roseate dreams for the future as they carried their babies close to their hearts, They hoped for the time when these boys and girls would grow to stalwart manhood and womanhood, become worthy citizens and a means of protection ggainst the shadowy days of old age. “But all those hopes are false, shattered by the bony, blood- stained monster of crime; dreams of other days have become night- mares. The clank of steel doors; the pacing of armed guards atop prison walls; the weary shuffle of a gray faced man with a weird cap on his head, traveling that last, long mile; the whine of a dynamo and the executioner standing at the switchblock that a life may pay for a life—these must be included if we are to realize the real cost of crime. All good citizens everywhere must dedicate them- selves to work for the lessening of a tragedy of moral, mental, finan- cial and spiritual bankruptcy.” That reference to moral, mental, financial and spiritual bankruptcy extends not alone to the. 3,500,000 Americans whose lives have been ruined or damaged. It reaches out and touches the rest of us, else the number would not be so large. A moral, mental, financial and spiritual regeneration would clearly seem to be in order if that bill of $15,000,000,000 and 8,500,000 persons is to be ‘substantially reduced. The Story of the Pines Among the oldest living things in the world are the Pon- derosa Pines of the North Pacific coast and to them scientists have turned for an answer to the question of whether the cli- mate is changing. Their findings show that it is not, that drouths similar to the one experienced this year have occurred many times in the past and will occur again. Some of these trees are more than 650 years old, as shown *>y the rings which mark their growth, and hence contain a record of climatic conditions which goes back btyond the time of Columbus. They show that the most critical period in the life of these trees has been that from 1917 to 1935 with 1931 the most severe year on record. From 1900 to 1919 growth was at the average for the 650-year period. While the last few years have been the worst on record, many previous periods of low rainfall have lasted much longer, according to the data compiled by the scientists. Meanwhile, though the drouth of 1936 has been substan- tially alleviated in this area, it is interesting to note that it hangs on in many other parts of the nation. In its weekly, weather and crop bulletin for Sept. 15, the federal weather bureau asserts that August “brought to a close one of the most disastrous summer drouths ever experi- enced in United States history. ... The summer was the dryest ‘of record in Illinois, Missouri, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska and tne Dakotas” while “Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa and Arkansas had less rain in 1936 than during the same season in the drouth of 1934.” : Northern Texas, Eastern Oklahoma, Southwestern Mis- souri, Western Arkansas and the southern portions of Illinois and Indiana still are suffering from drouth, according to this aathority. Thus it seems that midcontinental America not only had a drouth this summer but in some places it still persists. Add this fact to the story of the trees and there seems only That is the conservation of moisture during wet cycles that it may be available when drouths come. one intelligent answer. At the Well of Knowledge College registrations have gone up sharply this year. Figures from institutions in North Dakota and elsewhere show that more boys and girls are drinking from the wells of knowledge now than was the case even in the lamented twen-. ties when we were enjoying a hey day of prosperity. ‘ Jamestown college, for example, shows a 10 per cent in- | crease over last year with a substantially larger freshman class. _ The Minot State Teachers college reports a boost of 23 per cent and is crowded for room.

J THE BISMARCK TRI BOTH SIDES of the CAMPAIGN Congressman Charges New Deal's Farm Program Hurt America But Helped Other Nations, By REP. FRANCIS D. CULKIN Assistant Director, Farm Division, Republican National Committee ‘The constructive farm policies of- fered to the electorate by Gov. Alf M, Landon, Republican presidential candidate, are simple and clear. He proposes an effective soil conservation and erosion control program in con- nection with national land use and flood conservation. He proposes pro- tection of the farmer in the right to all of the home market he can sup- ply without creating injustices to the consumer. He proposes protection of the family type of farm in this coun- try by such cash benefits as are necessary to cushion American farm families against the disastrous effects of price fluctuation, and to protect the American standard of living. He proposes relief to sufferers from the | drouth and economic depression. Contrast with this straightforward expression of what the Republican party is ready to do for the farmer, the inhuman and obstinate policy of the New Dealers, who destroyed food while millions were starving; who plowed under and restricted crops in pursuance of a policy declared un- constitutional by the United States Supreme Court, and who broke their solemn pledge to conserve the domes- tic market for the Anrerican farmer. Under the New Deal, there has been an incredible increase in the importation of foreign farm products and a startling decrease in the sale of American farm products to foreign markets. Since President Roosevelt took office, importations of crude foodstuffs have increased 41 per cent and manufactured foodstuffs 49 per cent. Importations of wheat rose from i NO KIDDING! THE COUNTRY HONEST? 3000 bushels to more than 27,000,000 bushels, while importations of foreign corn jumped from 344,000 bushels to more than 43,000,000 bushels. In the meantime, exportations of American wheat to foreign countries dropped UNE, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1936. 1S IN DANGER? By William Brady, M.

Some of its worst effects continue. “By its policies,” says Governor Landon, “the administration has taken the American farmer out of foreign markets and put the foreign farmer into the American market.
