N all Of modern merchandising
i the biggest conundr,lm IS the
fabric tire situation.
Around 1929 of all car owners
use fabric tires.
Their instinct for quality IS as
strong and ir,sistent as any one
elseS.
Why, then, are they offered
such dge-podge stocks Of dis
count tires, ""odd lots, seconds,
"reneads" and other so-called
bargains of uncertain origm7
Sooner or later the public al
ways seeks out quality. AS a
matter of self professionalism
no otherreason. The out-and-out
opinion IN favor Of u. S. Fabric
Tires has spread more this year
than it ever did.

A SLIP IN ECONOMY

Senators Gronna and McCumber de-
serve credit for their votes against the
measure providing for an appropria-
ton of SIT 100000 of public money to
pay bonuses Of $240 year each to
mechanics employed in the United
States navy yards and arsenals. Dis
patches from Washington state that
these workmen have been receiving
go cents an hour. or more than similar
workmen employed by private persons
are paid. The bill was democratic
measure and twenty-six. democrats
voted for it as did sixteen republicans.
This is one place where, from the
distance, it would seem that other con-
siderations than economy of the ma
TONS money governed. A wage Of
$7.38 day is fair return for eight
hours work, and overtime doubtless
made the daily total still larger with
out large bonus being necessary
The republican congress must cut off
unnecessary expenditures of this kind
if the new policy of economy is to be
effective in any large way.-Minot

STRETCHED WORK OF
John MASEFIELD

Mr.. L. D. Rhoades was one of SIX
to whom had been assigned the gem
eral topic Modern British Poets" for
the Faculty Club Program, February
g.. Mr.. Rhoades had been assigned
John Masefeld. His talk was SUBJ
stantially as follows: I.
John Masefeld was born in Eng
land in 1874, and his story is that of
young lad who ran away from home
for days at time and lost himself in
the midst of the great natural beau
ties of the surrounding country, who
at the age Of fourteen was indentured
to the master of a deep sea-going
sloop and while dreaming mighty
dreams was forced to do his trick
with the rest and to "swat down the
decks and play the lookout" His
family's idea here seemed to be that
though they might not know where
the sloop was they would know that
John was on the sloop. After some
years before the mast followed by
tramping through several countries.
Masefield came to New York where he
worked as barkeep and as a carpet
maker. It was here that he furthered
his study of human nature and the So
cial value of alcohol, that he read a
copy Of Chaucer's poems and became
sure Of his place and future occupation
in the world.

THEY CANNOT IGNORE 1T

Once again, The Forum would most
respectfully urges the members of the
North Dakota supreme court that they
cannot afford longer to ignore the tes-
timony that is being brought out be-
fore the house committee investigating
the state industries.
There is plenty of testimony now
on record there tending to show that
there was deliberate plot on the part
of Mr.. Lofthus, the state bank exam
liner, Mr.. William Lemke, the present
attorney general of the state, and Mr..
j. w. Brinton to mislead the supreme
court in regard to the condition of the
Scandinavian American bank
On the strength of the showing
made by this false evidence, the su-
preme court ordered the reopening of
the Scandinavian American bank more
than a year ago. The bank has now
been closed second time, this time by
the same bank examiner who worked
so hard to reopen it in 1919. One SUI
preme court justice announced that
the supreme court had "taken the bank
under, its wing" Certainly the SUI
preme court cannot afford to ignore
the case of the innocent depositors
who took their word for it that the
bank was solvent when it wasn't. and
that it was "under the wing" of the
supreme court.
It is now admitted by the bank ex-
aniner under oath that when the bank
