Member of Audit Bureau of Circulation Member of the Associated Press The Associated Press is exclusively entitied to the use ed republican tion of the news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise cre Newspaper and also the local news of spontaneous origin A Good Message Before he wrote his inaugural message to the North Da- kota legislature, Governor William Langer-asked the public for suggestions and sought the advice of many persons. From the ideas and suggestions thus obtained he took those which he thought best, put them in his own words and presented them to the state’s lawmakers. The result is a governmental program which, in its broad ! essentials, probably comes closer to the ideas of the people as a whole than any which has ever before been advocated in this state. With his stand on relief, social security, aid for agriculture and co-operation with the government no intelligent citizen can quarrel unless he be filled with the peculiar delusion that North Dakota has had no drouth and needs no help, Governor Langer recognizes full well that if we would get government aid we must comply with the government's conditions. His suggestions on taxes carry the germ of a definite solu- tion of what has gone beyond the stage of a temporary problem and has become a long-time issue. There can be no quarrel with the desire to protect citizens in their homes and property. Yet a way MUST be found to force the collection of taxes where the taxpayer can find the money. The Minnesota law which he mentions may provide a solution and the example of other The Bismarck Tribune published herein Al’ rights of republication of ali other mattar hergin are also reserved.

Any- one who has had the opportunity to observe it at close range over a period of years knows this to be true. This applies to both the state and county machinery. It is well to have the problem recognized and the public would benefit if something were done about it. Yet only an optimist really expects action. There are so many things in the way that real accomplishment along this line would be almost a political miracle. The proposal to use part of the sales tax money to grant an exemption on homestead taxes has long engaged the interest If this idea can be worked out it should be done. The Tribune does not agree, however, that the exemption of this newspaper. should be greater on farm than on urban homesteads. the stand that every man’s home is his castle and that one home is as worthy of consideration as another. In his dissertation on education the governor hints at an- other suggestion which has repeatedly appeared in The Tribune, This is the need for educational revision rather than elimina- tion of any institutions we now have.

In his stand on the liquor question the governor speaks for every citizen who has considered the matter with any freedom | a: of mind at all. Liquor IS a dangerous commodity and he recog- nizes it. Adequate control must be set up and enforced.
