To Every Community Its Own One of the most curious reactions to the current effort to deport from Burleigh county persons who have come here and attached themselves to local relief rolls, is that of Mr. H. H. McCumber, whose letter on the subject appears in this issue of The Tribune. He contends that those who are in need and who cannot get work must be cared for and in this The Tribune wholly agrees with him. He suggests that the towns in this state exist largely to serve the farmer and that the farmers’ interest is! their interest. To this idea The Tribune has subscribed many times in a! well-considered effort to make farmers and’townsfolk see that their interests are identical. : But what Mr. McCumber overlooks is the fact that in meet- ing the situation created by the heavy relief burden every com-} munity should do its own share. The fact is that many persons from surrounding counties have moved to Bismarck and attached themselves to the relief rolls here. They constitute both an actual and a potential burden upon the local taxpayers who have enough to do to meet the cost of caring for those who legitimately | Just belong here. There is no good reason why Burleigh county tax- payers should foot a large bill, some of which is properly charge- able to another county. Thus the question is not WHETHER relief clients shall be cared for but WHERE they shall get relief. Mr. McCumber’s inference that the federal government is bearing ALL of the relief load is incorrect, as any taxpayer who looks at his tax statement can testify. The government meets MOST of the relief cost but substantial contributions are made by the COUNTIES WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE STATE | ters WELFARE BOARD. That is the situation NOW. If and when the government retires from the relief field, as it intends to do as quickly as possible, the situation will be- |! come MUCH WORSE. If government aid is withdrawn—and it surely will be some day—it will mean that Burleigh county will be left with far more than her share of indigents to care for unless they are moved out now. For this reason the effort to return relief clients to the counties of their origin should be commended. The campaign should be pushed with vigor. We are willing to care for our own indigents but let other counties care for theirs, too. This question is not new. The state law governing it is an old one and has been tested in numerous court suits, many of them bitterly contested. This was true long before federal relief ever was thought of. The fact that the government has been helping in what is essentially a local obligation doesn’t change the situation a particle. Red Faced Generals When the war maneuvers at Camp Ripley, Minn., ended last week the faces of all the generals involved were somewhat red, according to information received from the site of the “battle”. : The reason was recognition of their own errors of both commission and omission which, under war conditions, would have cost the nation both lives and material. The fact that they were friendly enemies enabled them, at the close of the war games, to check-with each other and to note wherein they were | Presided wrong. It is sincerely to be hoped that this nation engages in no more wars, but as long as wars persist, it is well to have these maneuvers that both the men in the ranks and their com- manders may have a preliminary taste of what war would be like. i . It gave the nation a chance to observe its new weapons in theoretical action, to note their assets and their weaknesses. It gave the generals an opportunity to note the difference be- x INNORTHWEST WILL BE BEST SINCE °29 St. Paul Man Tells Rotarians Outlook for Area as a Whole Is Good With the exception of those areas still adversely affected by business will be almost as in the Northwest this fall as it was in 1929.

The two spoke to members of the Rotary club and s number of guests at the Rotary luncheon Wednesday noon at the Grand Pacific hotel and Wednesday night will speak to mer- chants and their sales people at a meeting in the city auditorium. The latter meeting is scheduled for 8 p. m., and everyone interested, partic- ularly small-town merchants, is in- vited. Sperling said they are making the tour under the auspices of the Greater North Dakota association and the St. Paul Association of Com- merce because one-fifth of the busi- ness enterprises of the nation fail every year and it is their desire to reduce this business mortality.
