The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1921-11-03

A report has just been made to the
parliament of Switzerland that the
Swiss state railways could be run just
as we'll if about 5000 officials were to
be dismissed, and there would be an
annual saving Of 100000 francs.
That corresponds with the experience
of the United States after 26 months
of government operation of it's rail
roads. And it also corresponds to the
state of North Dakota which has been
overburdened with office holders.
The weekly times-record. (Valley City, N.D.) 1912-1922, 1921-11-03

The election has brought out some
things that might be worth comment
ing on and one of them is the fact that
many leaguers, farmers who have
studied the economic questions of the
state, and who have stood steadfast to
the league up to this time, put aside
personal feeling and went to the polls
last Friday and voted in favor of the
recall. This was certainly showing
the right kind of citizenship. They
had been shown indisputable facts that
the present administration had been

ate and foster better community
spirit between country and city.
The fact is as plain as pike staff
but many of our good Lacquer friends
boil with rage and fairly froth at the
mouth when it is suggested that the
nonpartisan movement is essentially a
socialist movement. We refer them
to the vote last Friday in Swede town
ship in our neighboring county OF La
Moure, where 81 votes were cast, ev-
ery single one of them for the league
ticket-1O0 per cent un-American-
and where in the presidential election
of 1920 it was also 100 per cent league
on the state ticket. but where 40 votes
were cast for Debs the socialist can
didate for president, then and still
confined in Atlanta prison. The
movement was started by a socialist
who is now on his way to prison for
disloyalty during the war, and it has
been run by socialists, and many OF
the appointments of the Stuffed Pro-
phet Frazier were filled by socialists
one Of them being Lofthus the head
Of the banking department. The So
clallSL anu IdulCdI pICoo CitouSho..e
the country has been we'll nigh unani-
nous in their support of the league
cause, and scarcely any paper or mag
azine other than of the radical class
has given it any support whatever.
No gentle reader: the rawlings Of the
league leaders against the rights OF
private property were not merely so
much rhetoric; they were part and
parcel of a we'll defined plan to COM
pletely socialize the state and all it's
Industries and it's property for the
benefit Of what the real socialists call
the proletariat, meaning everywhere
as well as in Russia, those who never
have and never will accumulate any
property of their own except what
they confiscate from those who have
worked for it. Thank God the state
has been saved from socialism, now
that the socialists and those who have
taken orders from socialists, have now
been kicked out.

No doubt now that the state shows
signs of again sailing on an even keel.
there will be great cramble of the
adventures who have been exploit
ing the states finances, to get under
cover from the Investigations which
will in all probability be started to
learn just who is criminally response
BILE, to say nothing Of those whose
notes are now safely reposing in the
Bank of North Dakota-for sisal stock
and things like that.

We have not been consulted regard
inc the distribution Of Airedale pups
but if any Of the breed are left after
the Waterloo of last Friday we believe
that in all fairness one should be CIV

county, where they cast 100 per cent
vote to retain the present socialist adj

we would pity the dog that would be
compelled to live in such community.

Leiderbach must be a dogs life any

RED CROSS RESCUED
100000 FROM DEATH
Spent S1,200,000 for Relief of
Famine Sufferers in China
Last Year.

To help overcome conditions Of acute
distress in five famine stricken prov
inces Of Northern China. where mil
lions Of persons were affected by an
unprecedented shortage Of food, the
American Red Cross during the last
fiscal year spent more than S1.2OOOOO,
100000 Of which was contributed d.
recty by National Headquarters and
the remainder by various groups 'n-
terested In the welfare Of China.
Through the wide relief operations
thus made possible Il is estimated that
more than 100000 famine sufferers
were saved from starvation.
To the end that similar prompt re
lief measures By the organization may
always be possible the Red Cross Is
asking continued support by the Amer
lean people By universal renewal OF
membership at the Annual Red Cross

Red Cross Gives
b $4,000 to Aid
Cleanup Drive

An appropriation of $4,000 for
Red Cross work in connection with the
cleanup" campaign instituted by the
Government to bring the claims of all
disabled service men who are entitled
to Federal aid before the proper gov
eminent bureau for action, has been
made by the American Red Cross.
The Executive Committee of the
American Red Cross in making the
appropriation authorized the appropri-
alton of $4,000 of this sum to the
American Legion to defray the ex-
pense of the Legion representatives
assigned to the various districts of
the Veterans Bureau.
The remainder of the appropriation
was authorized for appOrtionment
among the several Divisions of the
Red Cross for carrying on that part
of the cleanup work that falls d.
rectly upon the Red Cross organization.

$50 DISASTER DEATH
TOLL FOR ONE YEAR
Red Cross Gives $1,871, 900 Re-
lief When $4,000 Families
Are Made Homeless.

Forty-three disasters, resulting in
the death in the United States of $50
persons and the injury of $500 called
for emergency relief measures and
the expenditure Of $1,S71, 900 by the
American Red Cross during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1921, says an
announcement based upon the forth
coming annual report Of the Red Cross.
These disasters caused property dam

sixty-seven communities and rendered
$4,000 families homeless.
The years disasters were of vary

Young America
Sends Vast Relief
To Needy Abroad

Various relief projects of the Junior
American Red Cross in European
countries resulted in helping 237 900
destitute children during the last fis-
cal year, according to the annual re-
port Of the American Red Cross for
that period. The growth of the actlvi-
ties of the Juniors abroad is mani
tested by a comparison which shows
this figure is 100000 larger than that
of the previous fiscal year.
The National Children's Fund raised
by school children, members of the
Junior American Red Cross, was
drawn upon for S420557 for these prof
ects. Receipts for the National Chill
dren's Fund during the last fiscal year
totalled s155,317.

of the horror was flasneu throughout
the country, the American Red Cross
National Headquarters responded with
a grant Of $105,000 for relief work.
Governor Shoup Of Colorado, appre-
ciating the long and successful expert
ence Of the Red Cross in organizing
disaster relief work, placed the en-
tire responsibility for the administra-
ton of relief in its hands.
In response to appeals from Pres!-
dent Harding, Governor Shoup and
other governors of western states and
through local chapters of the Red
Cross and other community organlza-
lions, public-spirited citizens brought
the total contributed for Pueblo's re-
Mobilization to more than $325,00O.
The terrible havoc wrought by the
flood waters Is a matter Of record.
More than $500 homes were affected
and 1851 persons were left homeless.
Estimates of 100000 as an absolute
minimum for rehabilitation were made
by Red Cross officials In charge Of the
relief work.
Fast Work in Wall Street
The Wall street explosion was nota-
BILE in that relief workers Of the Red
Cross were on the scene twenty min
utes after the disaster occurred. The
race riot at Tulsa also was unique in
disaster relief annals In that outside
of a small emergency relief fund con-
tributed by the Red Cross, the only
relief measures outside the city con-
sisted Of the service of social work
ers nurses and trained executive
whose object was to assist local forces
In directing their own efforts.
In decided contrast with the pre-
viOus year, only one tornado assumed
the proportions of a major disaster
This occurred on April 10, in the bor
der sections Of Texas and Arkansas
with the city of Texarkana as the
center. The significant feature Of this
disaster relief work was the fact that
it covered so much rural territory as
to make necessary large number Of
relief workers. a-.s-

100000 by the American Red Cross
was by far the most serious Of the
foreign disasters in which the Red
Cross gave aid.
Builds Up Its Machinery
In connection with the administra-
ton Of disaster relief measures, an in
creasing effectiveness on the part of
the Red Cross to deal with emergen-
cies was manifested during the past
year. In 1913 Chapters of the Ameri-
can Red Cross there have been formed
special committees to survey the re.
sources Of their respective communi-
ties and to be prepared In case of
disaster. In others of the 3,402 active
Chapters, n network Of communication
has been formed through which instan-
taneous relief may be dispatched to
any part of the United States.
That its work in this field may be
continued with ever greater effective
ness, the American Red Cross is APP
pealing for widespread renewal of
membership during its Annual Roll
Call, to be conducted this year from
November II to "a.
