THE NORTH DAKOTA RESULT.

TSioux City Journal
The legislative program OF the nom
partisan league in North Dakota has
been approved in a referendum cleo
ton, The seven laws submitted TO the
people include the state bank scheme,
which will centralize under the power
Of the state all the financial resources
Of the commonwealth except the state
school funds. Thru this bank the
other state enterprises are to De
financed. These include state owned
mills and elevators, packing plants ana
mines. Thus the entire state owner
ship scheme Is approved by the people.
But the vote does not reflect the
actual judgment Of the people. Three
of the state officials who were twice
elected,by the nonpartisans, the secre-
tary Of state, the attorney general and
the state auditor. broke with the Or
ganization and Joined the opposition.
The Independent Voters league
which was the nonpartsan opposition.
grabbed these renegades and gave
them carte blanche to run: the opposi-
ton campaign as they pleased. They
stumped the state against indorse-
ment of the submitted laws. But the
rank and file Of the league resented
what they termed treachery at the
hands of those who had profited by
the organization and hundreds OF
votes were cast in favor OF the laws as
a reputation of the course OF these
officials. The opponents Of the league
listened to them with delight and gave
them large and enthusiastic audiences,
but every demonstration Of this KIND
only reused to higher pitch the league
desire for vengeance. The vote was a
test Of the ratification Of reputation
Of the course OF the officials more

A budget Is a plan for apportion-
ing an income to the best advantage,
before it is spent.
The uncertainties of feast or famine
are eliminated in this way and in this
way only. Whether one has poverty
or riches, or Solomon's happy me-
dunn, the budget Is the only fair way
of disburslng the family income.
The headings under which, such dis
b~ursements scientifically fall are:
Food, rent. operating expenses. cloth
ing and the higher life" Food in
cludes not only what is spent for
lunches If taken away from home.
Rent includes taxes, repairs and mort
gage payments. Operating expenses
cover telephone, wages to help, fuel,
light and fire insurance. "The higher
life" includes recreation, travel, saw
ings, doctors bills. gifts, books, clubs
and personal insurance.
Since there is a certain limit below
which one cannot healthfuIly go when
buying food. the amount for this item
remains practically the same for many
different incomes. With an income
OF $500 per year SO per sent to 60
per cent must be spent In food for the
typical family of father mother and
three children.
with $4,000 for the same number
In family. a good working ratio is:
Food, rs per cent; rent. 20 per cent:
operating expenses. IL per cent:
clothes, is per cent. and the higher
life. 25 per cent.
Determining the standards of living
is the joint responsibility of husband
and wife. In arriving at q budget, the
first question to settle Is what sum
can we spend a yea for living ex-
penses?" Knowing this. 'What pro-
portion of the income must be speni

devotion, sympathy, energy and time
given to the well-being of your fell

ers. Mrs. /. Larsen, Mrs. Lund, Mrs.

Some girl Game to the fnish!'

Some girl Game to the finish!"
Tiny COTS lips shaped the words
almost before he had strength to speak
aloud. But what he managed to muir
muir seemed to be all that Mary cared
to hear. She a on the deck OF the
tug supporting the mans head very
carefully. her shining hair rufled in
a halo about her cherubic brow. And
she kissed Tiny's hand before all the
crew as forgetful Of her surroundings
as a shepherdess In Already or her mod
ern equivalent. a college girl in love.
And l came and went with the small
comforts a nurse could find on a tug
realizing all Of the time that love was
working a faster ire han / could
achieve.
Mary looked marvellously happy,
and yet l wondered if a reconciliation
with Tiny might not be a great mis-
take for her.
Let her rescue him, rival him IN this
diving game, flirt with him. discard
him or be discarded by him but let her
not marry him. said myself to myself
as I watched them. only as long as
an adventure lasts, or changes its form,
will that boy be happy. He can't stand
monotony. Let domestic life grow stale,
and Tiny's normal male process of rea-
soning will take to dwelling on the
wrongs he has suffered. ealousy will
rule him. Matrimony won't do much
for him-nor for her" Then I asked
myself "Why2" and answered myself
with a question:
"Who can conjure up that mar or
that woman as the devoted, and above
all else the p~atient-parent of q
child7"
Failing in love does not qualify q
man or a woman for getting married.
Nor does 1t justify marriage" was my
SNUG conclusion. After which I would
have reviewed my W experience
and Bob's-but the tug was under way
and the captain came up for tnstruc'
tons.

can a suitable home be found, and in
this too there must be borne In mind
the convenience and intelligent ar
rangement of the house or apartment,
It's accessibility with regard to
schools, churches, transportation lines
and environment.
The budget plan has proved OF In
estimable value to nations, large en-
terprises and small businesses. In the
home it's success depends upon per-
feet frankness between husband and
wife in their knowledge Of capital and
income, in the careful discussion OF

In spite of all temptations, to keep

repeating something again and again.
