It will be remembered that “The Dover Road,” the initial offering of the Bismarck Community Players during an earlier Christmas season, also was from the pen of Milne. Milne also is the author of “When We Were ‘Very Young,” which is a favorite with children and adults alike. ‘The author creates in the fantasy a situation where by the power of @ | Her Yacht Ready | for King, Wally saint putea Aaa Raney t “THE BISMARCK TRIBUNE.

"The first is a fairy tale, telling the tender story of a princess and a wood- cutter. Boys have the upper hand in creating the second playlet, which is inspired by Robinson Crusoe and “Treasure Island” and is called “Oli- ver's Island.” A boy and his sister have adventures on a desert island, in which they capture a governess. The final and most elaborate act is a Christmas play which appeals to all of the children and is titled “Father Christmas and the Hubbard Family.” ‘The little people give their imagina- tion full reign and have all of the Mother Goose characters come to- gether at the port of Father Christ- mas, the English Santa Claus.

Hamilton, Elgin, Bulova, Tavannes and Gruen NHAM BROTHERS poigted to investigate and watch pub- lic expenditures, to see that public jand not waste their funds, economize tax-spending units would conserve through the elimination of unneces- sary public functions and thereby cut budget requirements and reduce the tax rate which would result in lower tax bills to the individual? Had this been done a number of years ago there is no question that a large proportion of delinquent taxes now on the books of the county woula have been paid. I believe that most of the taxpayers of Burleigh county who could pay their taxes have done 80. It seems as though our governing units are endeavoring to give the public everything and every service in spite of that same public’s inability to pay the bills with the result that these spending units are broke, re- sorting to warants, or just not paying at all. Many of these expenditures are based on what is called the pub- | lic demand but which is in reality the demand of the tax-eater. If the Association of Commerce committee is to be of public benefit its work should be to examine the expenditures of the city, school dis- trict and county, with the view of re- ducing expenses, elimination of use- less projects and functions, to save public money, reduce tax rates and make it posstble for those of us in default to pay our tax bills, The remedy here is not to try and force the busted taxpayer to disgorge that which he has not got but, by sound planning, to cut public costs to the point that low tax rates may be effected which the taxpayer can and will pay. __A SUBSCRIBER. FAVORS IRRIGATION Bismarck, N. Dak., Dec. 5, 1936, Editor, Tribune: I want to compliment ‘you on your continued efforts for irrigation. I believe that it is the most important undertaking that can be fostered if we are to permanently rehabilitate our people. We know that here in the Missouri River valley we have more water than we can ever use. We know that we have @ considerable amount of ir- rigable land and we know that the cost is not going to be excessive. The engineering is comparatively simple. It seems to me that the two prob- Jems are: Finance and land owner- ship. 5 If the irrigable tracts are developed and left in large ownerships I believe that the greatest value can not result. For greatest good to the state I be- lieve that the irrigable bottom lands must be allocated in relatively small tracts to the upland farms to be used for the production of alfalfa or other high fodder producing crops and pos- sibly a small allowance for gardens. Then make grazing the backbone of the upland farmer's agricuiture and he will have a dependable source of feed for the dry years that will enable him to keep his herd intact. If the ir- rigable land is left in large owner- ships and a dry year comes the upland farmer who needs the feed will have no money to buy and the owner will therefore have no nearby market and conditions will not be greatly im- proved over the present. In order to accomplish this end my thought is that some agency must be found that will acquire and properly design economical irrigable tracts. Then these tracts can be leased or sold on a fairly long time plan to up- land farmers. Give them about a three-year lease, and if they don’t prove to be the right type then cancel the lease and re-lease to some other fellow who will properly utilize it. With present transportation facili- ties it is no great hardship on a farmer to go 15 or 20 miles to an alfalfa or corn field for his feed. Our Missouri River bottoms should be capable of permanently stabilizing @ strip 15 to 20 miles wide on each side of the river. ‘These bottom lands can be bought now for from ten to twenty-five dol- lars per acre. There is no need to pay more for many years to come ana if fictitious prices are paid to start with the project will find difficulty in paying out. I beleve that local capital must come to the rescue in this situation. If we should have another year like "36 within the next few years the values of city as well as farm prop- erty are going to experience a serious depreciation.

Publisher Carl Jones, who directed experiments leading to perfecting of the method, explained it was made possible by the use of newsprint with color manufactured in it. He said the method was inexpensive. “This new newsprint is revolution- ary,” Jones said, “because it enables advertisers to use color without col- or plates in any daily newspaper, whether they print color or not. Se- lection of colors is left entirely to the specifications of the advertiser. He explained the method was not intended as a substitute for solor plate printing but as a complement to it.
