lively Small Portion of
Total Amount
COLLECTIONS OVER $632,OOO

Counties will receive portion Of
the license money collected by the
Motor Vehicle Registration depart
ment during the first six months OF
1919 for road maintenance in the near
future. it is expected.
The amount to be distributed among
the various counties of the state is
said at the state auditors Office to
be $88,62O.50, out of total of $685.
241.00 collected between January I
and June 80. The division must be
approved blythe state auditing board,
The law provides that $15O,000 Of
the money shall be deducted annually
for highway commission and motor
vehicle registration expenses, and an
of $175,00O was made
by the legislature for bridges. The
remainder Of the receipts is divided
between the highway commission and
the counties, for road maintenance.
There was some discussion among
officials as to whether the amount OF
money to be deducted should be de-
Quoted entirely out Of the funds on
hand or whether part of the appro-
priations,t which are for the fiscal
year from July l, 1921, to June 30,
1922, should be deducted out of funda
on hand and the remainder out of
payments next year. The state audi
tor took the position that the law re-
quired the entire deduction be made
first, and the full amount was set
aside, leaving, according to the state
auditors figures, $S8,62O.5O for coun.
ties and like amount for the high
way commission road work.

clares That $25O,OOO,0OO
Slice is Necessary
EXPENSES ARE $4,5oo, 900, 900
Result of Operations of First
Full Month of Fiscal Year
Reveals Situation

Washington, Aug. "A cut of more
than $25O,O0O,O0O in the ordinary ex-
penditures of the government this fis-
cal year is necessary if additional
taxes are to be avoided, the house
ways and means committee was in
formed today by Secretary Mellon. On
present estimates he said the total
government costs this year will be
$4,550, 100000 Of which $3.50, 100000
must come from taxation.
Even with the suggested reduction,
Mr.. Mellon said, the internal revenue
yield for the year could not safely be
permitted to fall below $3.50, 600 900,
the estimated yield under the existing
law" 49,
The treasury secretary told the COM
mittee that actual expenditures for the
first full month of this fiscal year in
dicates that unless there was IAN ex-
traordinary new effort to reduce ex-
penditures" the estimates which the
treasury had presented might be re-
garded as conservative. Ordinary ex-
penditures for July, he said, amounted
to about $322,0O0,O00 as against $3O7,-
100000 for July 1920, while the cur
rent deficit last month was $113,OOO,-
900 as against $76,0O0,OOO the same
month a year ago.
IAN analysis Of the principal items
Of expenditure for July, 1921" the
secretary continued, "shows that $685.
100000 was on account of the war de-
partment; 56,O0O,O0 on account of the
navy and $32,O00,O00 on account of the
shipping board. If expenditures are
to continue at anything like these
rates the estimates will be greatly ex-
ceeded."

LABOR DEMANDS
FOR THRESHING
AT HIGH POINT
Belief Expressed That Sufficient

All Points in N. D.
u. S. DIRECTOR IN THE CITY
Head of Employment Service
Visits North Dakota to View
Results of Work

Belief that there will be plenty OF
men to aid in .threshing North Da-
kota's grain crops is expressed by
Francis l. Jones, of Washington. d. c.,
director general of the U. S. Employ
ment Service, who visited Bismarck
this week, and John N Hagan, COM
missioner of agriculture and labor, in
charge of the U. s. state employment:
Offices
Reports to Mr.. Hagan's office show
ed that on Tuesday 118 men were
sent out of the Fargo office to thresh-
ing Jobs Minot called for from 300
to 500 men several days ago and lat
est reports said the need had about
been met Yesterday the Bismarck
office had caught up with the demand.
Harvest is in full swing now and the
demand for labor will probably be at
its highest this week. The federal
department has men stationed in Du-
luth and Minneapolis to direct work
ers to North Dakota and other fields.
and with available state workers ana
others following the harvest from
South to- North Dakota it is believed
that the demand can be met.
Demands From Northwest.
Probably the heaviest demand of
any part Of the state is the northwest
ern part, where, according to Mr.. Ha"
gan, the crop generally is almost
equal to the 1915 crop unless the rust
has done more damage than it is be-
Heved to have done. Distance from
the sources of supply of labor in
section Of the state.
Field Worker A. L. Barkman, who
accompanied Mr.. Jones in the state,
visited all the offices in furtherance
of the work. Mr.. Jones visited the
Fargo and Bismarck Offices.
Through the season the special la
Dor division of the u. 8. employment
service under the direction of Mr..
Barkman has in cooperation with the
various state departments of labor re
cruited and placed approximately 55.-
600 harvest hands from Texas to
North Dakota, Mr.. Jones said while
here. His department proposes to-
open permanent farm labor Office at
Kansas City, Mo-, to operate for the
benefit of the entire middlewest, not
only for the harvest season but dur
ing the entire year to stimulate a
back to the farm movement in other
seasons.
Getting Full Value.
Mr.. Jones expressed belief that the
government was getting value receiy-
ed for money spent on employment
service in North Dakota. He praised
the Fargo Office as one of the best in
the country and said that if Congress
had made the appropriation large
enough he would like to enlarge the
employment service greatly in North
Dakota, as he felt much good was be-
ing accomplished.

CHURCH MUST WORK TO

United Press Staff Corresponds

Omitted Press STAN correspondent
New York, April 29.--.'1he devil
is working 365 days a year: the
church has got to work to beat the
devil" Rabbi Aaron Eiseman declar-
ed in an interview with the United
Press today. a.
The young rabbi, who recently stir
red New York with a sermon In
which he declared ''our social epvir-
onment is rotten" and characterized
vampires as "she devils" summed up
present conditions as follows:
Religion may be regarded as prac-
tically a failure, unless it gets down
off the pedestal and mingies with
the people on common ground.
"The church must be l1beral1zed
and humanized, and it's representa-
tives must preach less along doctrinal
and theological lines and more upon
everyday life. r
people returning away from the
church because it is too undemocratlc,
and because it lives too much in past
centuries, rather than the present.
.-Clean and wholesome pleasures
and recreatlons should be encouraged
by the church. The people are going
to dance, play cards and attend the
movies anyway, so why not give them
these things with the sanction ana
supervisor of the church," ... 3.
Rabbi Eiseman declared there is
but one solution to present day moral
and it's attendant
moral training. He said he regards
the great divorce scandals as the
worst of modern evils, with Immoral
dancing, salacious movies, immodest
dress, gambling and vampires-both
on the screen and in real life-close
behind. '.-Ee..~ =.
'.The world apparently has made
no moral or intellectual progress over
the ancient Egyptians and Assyr-
ians." he said. T.,
"We are living in a generation just
as money-mad and material as ever;
a generation perhaps more sensual
than ever, because it shows its SEN
suality in every form. 1t is displayed
in the craze for immoral dancing; in
the demand for immoral plays and
movies; in the lack of mOdesty in con-
duct, dress and demeanor, and IN the
painted, powdered. roughed kalso-
mined and vanished faces of our wo-
men and girls.
'tThis is an age of vampires. There
are countless she devils who go about
seeking to destroy homes and robbing
women and children of their hus-
bands and fathers. Even our con-
versation eventually becomes sala-
cious. Among our women. among
our girls of 16-who know more
about life in their adolescence than
our grandmothers did at 6O-this
has become an accepted fact.
.".Frem top to bottom, through and
through, our society is rotten
Eiseman pointed to the Salvation
Army as a religious organization
which "gets results through hard
work and democracy, and cited Billy
Sunday who is not afraid OF counting
ridicule to "save souls" p"
"The trouble with the most of us
is that we are too timid," he said.
1--WE are afraid of rolling up our
sleeves and doing something that
might he regarded as undignified.
True religion always has dignity, re-
CARELESS of what guise it is in.

If we are going to beat him we have
got to work just as hard or: harder
