MAKES 'EM SOUIRM

| Argus Leader: Those senators who
| are trying TO have the senate exempt
the coastwise vessels from the pay
ment of tolls through the big canal
squigm visibly when anybody uses
the word subsidy In their argu-
ments in the senate, they seek to make
the point that to exempt the coast
wise ships from the payment of tolls
is not the same as the payment of
subsidy; but so far they have made
no progress.
And they will make none. The
tolls which the coastwise ships will
nave to pay, if the present plan to es-
| cape shall fail, would amount to from
2115 to 8 millions year. To put them
where they can save this amount is
exactly the same as to pay it to them
out of the federal treasury. 1t is a
gift, and a gift is a subsidy.
A failure to impose tax said
Senator O'Gorman the other day,
'cannot be called subsidy" But
if a tax were imposed on some, aud
spared to others, those who escaped
would be specially favored, exactly to
the same effect as though the cash
was paid to them out of the public
treasury The friends of tolls ex-
emptions may quibble and squirm as
they will but the public can see it
only one way.

SUSPICIOUS ADVICE

Huron Huronite: The simultaneous
appearance of editorials in the Redfeld
Press and the Deadwood Telegram adj
vising the bull moose convention, to be
held in Huron to nominate only can
didate for senator and pass up the bal
ance of the ticket arouses the suspicious
of Burke newspapers that the bull
moose scheme is entirely against the
republican candidate for the senate.
Recently, the editor OF the Redfeld
paper has strongly declared that no one
can prove that he has joined the bull
moose party and this disclaimer sug-
gests that MIR. Basford's play at Nit
chell had for its purpose the weaken
ing of MI. Crawford's successful op
ponent, not to say the entering of Mr..
Crawford into the contest as the repre-
sentative of the new party.
For two years past Mr., Sem, of the
Deadwood Telegram, has been insist
| ent upon the promulga ton Of progress
sive ticket, frowning upon the subter-
fuge of 1912, through which progress
sive electors were placed on the repub-
ican ticket.
'Tha he should now suddenly bury
his convictions and urge his party to
dropits intention to place full ticket
in the field is rather disconcerting. Is
he, too, in the deal to make sneak on

BUSINESS OR FOOL
ISHNESS---WHICH?

Is it business or is it foolisbness to
check over accounts in public affairs. is
question taxpayers h&ve considered
in signing the petition recently circulat-
ed by Mr. Mundt, to whom the Capital
Journal and the Daily Dakotan paid
their respects on May 8th, through the
medium of their editorial columns.
As usual the two GREAT editors
Ripple and Roberts take fall-out with
the writer for his part in circulating the
petition, and in their own mind seem to
think Mundt is bad man, trouble
maker, crazy, and so on. In this eff
fort the two editors give to the world
another view of their greatness and
wisdom.
HIipple takes fall out not only with
the writer, but with the Department
of Executive Accountant, and with the
State Investigating Committee, and
with the taxpayers generally for in
viting the examination of our public
records OF County, City and School
District.
Editor Roberts sticks closer to his
text and vents his unbiased (?) opinion
of the writer Yet neither Nipple or
Roberts or both together have succeed
ed in disturbing the quiet equinimity of
either the writer or the big list of tax
paying petitioners.
Nipple pretends to be nightly in
terested in the expense of the examina-
tion and endeavors to make the taXpay-
ers think it is just a job for political
pie eaters" at big expense. And to
give color to his argument cites Stan
ley county aud Penningte.. county and
says the latter has spent "about SIS,
900 90 to discover some irregularities.
But he did not give hint as to what it
has cost other counties which have had
this work done, not by outside expert
accountants, but by our own state ac-
countants. So we will give the figures,
as given by the Executive Accountant,
for the information of the taxpayers.
The following counties have been ex-
amined and the cost of examination is

1t is fair to say that the above figures
do not furnish any basis on which we
can estimate the cost of the examina
ton for Hughes county, for each coun-
ty has its own peculiar condition.
In the counties marked (*) asterisks
the work has not been completed and
will cost still more Gregory county to
date has paid the largest amount for
examination, but during that time has
recovered over ten times as much as
expended SO that the taxpayers are
we'll satisfied with their investment.
It seems remarkable that two great
editors cannot see any advantage in
such an examination as is called for un-
less indeed there be some ''malfeas-
ence" or "great wrong. To their
mind apparently it is not good business
to check over accounts until something
crooked has developed. But many good
business men think it is better business
to check over accounts anyway and the
taxpayers have signified their willing
ness to pay the freight.
| Ripple and Roberts need not worry
or show SO much concern about the ex-
pense. If they are really interested in
this they can show good faith by pay
ing their fair share of the taxes.

The last of these steps may seem at

it is not. There are some men who

A young man who for three years had
wanted to go on the road finally
plucked up courage to ask his employer
to give him a chance as salesman.
We've been thinking for the last two

"why didn't you give me chance 2"

Because we thought if you had any
inclination that way you'd ask for it,"
his employer answered. "A man who
is going to be a salesman has to be
able to ask for what he wants, you
know It's an aggressive job"

he had to stay in an undesirable post
