GRAVE CONDITIONS

Representative Of Local Factories
 Writes Interesting Letter

An interesting letter on conditions as he finds them in Germany at thil time has been received by n lcadinr local manufacturer from F. R. Winer now in Germany. MT. Wilncr repre- sented tho interests of the Union Man ufacturing company, the P. and F Corbin company and the Corbin Cab inet Lock company in Russia for sev, eral years In 1916 he was caught ir Russia and was unable to leave thai country until 1920. He is an able writer and has written many articles on the Russian situation for the New York Times.
 Marked Man in Russia.
 Because Of his publications on the Folshcyiki situation he is q marked man and would forfeit his life if he entered Russia under its present gov ernment. He now represents the same three corporations in Germany
 MT. Winer finds that the apparent German prosperity has been greatly over estimated in this country. Pro- duction has decreased, he says, prices are less than normal and economic difficulties harass the people from all sides.
 A portion of the letter follows:
 To the casual visitors to Germanys large towns, with gold dollars in their pockets to convert into loads of paper money, which will pay for all their needs and pleasures to be secured at bargain prices, the country seems to be prosperous. Yea, the smoking fac tories, smoke stacks, seen while reach ing the large centers of population also add to the belief that Germany is as well off as ever. But when one gets under the surface of seeming pros- perity, an entirely different picture presents itself, especially if the situa- tion is critically studied. This inves- tigaton of Germanys affairs to those that have seen Germany before the war and had studied the particular features of the Germans plugging thrift and economy.
 Let us go back to, say 1913, and see how the masses in Germany got along. As the country was densely populated, food was always scarce, and vital problem. The German workman even then, did not get too much meat or butter-not anywhere near the quantity consumed by the average American or English work man or farm hand. In Germany everything was and is now calculated to hairsplitting nicety. In 1913 in Berlin in cafe for 35' pfennigs or s cents. one was served a small pot of coffee, in which chicory was the main component; milk was served in ves- sel not much larger than a thimblc, and one received very small lump of sugar. No sugar bowls or milk pitch CTS on the table, to help oneself to- The population lived very economical ly, and made things last; no trace of

Senator's Long Service has Brought
Him a Position of Big Influence as
Chairman of Finance Committee.

The following press. dispatch was
sent out from Washington by the Capt.
tai City Press Bureau and is from the
pen Of Mr.. Jermaine.
Washington, Feb. 10, 1922.-Public
men in this city are wondering how
much truth there is in the tales reach
ing them from North Dakota that
Senator McCumber, whose term ex-
pires in March, 1928, is in serious
danger Of defeat for denomination.
If he is defeated, the west will lose
the craftsmanship Of the most import
ant of all senate committees, that on
finance, to which McCumber succeeded
on the death of Boise Penrose of
Pennsylvania.
1t was the rule of seniority that
gave McCumber that influential posi-
ton. Even if a new senator from
North Dakota were appointed to the
committee next year, which is most
unlikely, it would take him genera
ton to climb to the top, just as it has
taken McCumber. The finance COM
mittee shapes tax and tariff bills and
in general way has jurisdiction over
all financial matters brought to the
attention of the senate. It's power is
great, and the man who heads it is
one of the senate commanding figures.
Important to West
At the present time, and that will
be true for years to come, the west
will be thinking more about taxation
than anything else. 1t believes the
present rates are too high, and one
Of its complaints against the repubi-
can party is that it has done nothing
to reduce them, although congress
has been practically in continuous ses-
sion since early last April. Now, just
as soon as a western man Of ability
and high standing as a legislator,
reaches position where he will be
able to do something for the west in
the way of modifying tax laws, there
is talk that he may be retired, largely
through the desire Of somebody else
to have the job of being senator.
am not defending McCumber. /
less way in which it has looked out
for it's interests in Washington. As
long as the rule of seniority prevails
no new senator can exert one particle
of influence on legislation. After he
has served term of six years he is
still young senator. He must have

twenty years before he begins to find
himself in the way Of committee as
signments and ability to get important
results. If McCumber were only on"-
half as able man as he is, NortS
Dakota would return him if she had
any understanding of how to hav
matters attended to down here that
affect her in many important way.
The craftsmanship of the finance con.-
mitee never has gone to the west be
fore; it may not go as far west as
North Dakota again for several gene
rations.

JAMES JOHNSON, IS YEARS A
MASON, IS MADE LIFE MEMBER

Jones johnson, who has been a
Mason for forty-fve years, was made
a life member of the Masonic Blue
Lodge by Henry E. Byorum, Grand
Master Of North Dakota, last Thurs
day night at special session of Star
in the West Lodge.
The presentation was made by the
Worshipful Master, James F. Small
wood and Mr.. johnson responded with
very interesting address. He stat
ed that he appreciated the honor
more than he could tell but said that
as long as he lived he would continue
to pay dues to Star in the West
Lodge.
Mr.. johnson was made Mason As
years ago in Mt. Maria Lodge No.
106 at Detroit, MINI. "Jim" was liv-
ing at Frazee, MINI. at the time. He
had come to North Dakota in 1874,
spending some time at Fargo but
there was no way of making a living,
so he returned to Minnesota. The
early settlers subsisted in those DAYS
on partridges and squirrels. When a
man wanted to grease his boots he had
to go out in the woods and kill a
squirrel.
Mr.. Johnson was one of fourteeen
who were charter members of Star
in the West Lodge, No. SO, A. F. and
A. M. in 1889. Mr.. johnson has all
ways been one of our most enthusiast
tic Masons. His life membership was
presented to him on the 72nd anpi-
versary of his birth.

Ole Tanberg Confesses to Stealing
Harness and Castings.

Ole Tanberg, who worked for j. !.
Keough at Foxholm and for c. b.
Stearns, who lives on the John En-
farm west of Minot, was arrested a
Carpio Friday charged with stealing
two sets of harness from Mr.. Stearl.;
and also on a charge of robbing Louis
Groshan's garage at Burlington. The
harness had been sold for S35 to a
farmer west of Carpio, who had been
told by Tanberg that he was moving
out to Canada and wanted to sell off
his effects. The harness is worth
$3.50 and has been returned to NJ
Stearns.
The man took castings, spot ligh :
and inner tubes from Mr.. Groshai,,,
After his arrest, Tanberg conscssc,,
and said he had hidden the autor1 .
bile accessories along the road in saw
brush near the Midway mine. The
sheriff phoned to the operator at the
Midway mine who recovered the stuff.
Tanberg was arrested by Deputy Wal
stad from Kenmare who had received
a call from sheriff Scofeld to look ou:
for the man who was travelling in a
Metz car. Tanberg steered clear of
Foxholm but met his waterloo when
he drove thru Carpio.

CAPTAINS OF FINANCE SPEND
TWO HOURS IN CITY SUNDAY

northwestern part Of North Dakota
has attracted the attention Of that
part of the business world interested
in the northwest and believe other
parts Of this and adjoining states
should take hold Of development work
just as you are doing here and with
the energy and resources Of the north
west mobilized along this line an era
of rapid and substantial growth and
prosperity will undoubtedly begin,"
Mr.. Hill declared. 81 admire the
spirit of Minot men and the readiness
with which your surrounding country
joined hands with you in this work
means that the "Minot spirit has
spread. 1t is the. 'Minot spirit" this
country needs right now, he added.
Mr.. Hill was particularly interested
in the plan of campaign adopted by
the Northwestern, North Dakota De-
yelopment association and declared
that the desire to secure more neigh
toss,t ather than settlers would ap-
peal to farmers in other states suffer
ing from the burden Of inflated land
values. He referred to literature
sent out from this district in which
new settlers were told Of the CO. op-
Grafton being extended to the farm
ers by business interests in solving
their marketing and other problems
and declared this attitude on the part
Of business men means great deal
toward development work.
When riding through Riverside park
Mr.. Hill expressed surprise at such
an institution and was particularly
Interested in the motor tourists camp.
The bath house and swimming pool,
adjoining the camp, came in for spe-
cial attention from him and he stated
that it was one of the finest camps
he had ever seen.
"There's no question but what you
Minot men are building for the
future" he said, land if you have
confidence enough to carry out such
a program of preparation, you can
not fail.'
Mr.. Hill and other members Of the
party were given 100000 More" but
tons on their arrival and when leav-
ing accepted a quantity of literature
explaining what the movement is and
it's plan of operation.
81 am proud to wear this button,
Mr.. Hill said, "and l certainly admire
the spirit back Of it. Sometime IN
the near future l am going to accept
the invitation extended to me by the
Minot Association of Commerce to
spend day in Minot and become bet
ter acquainted with Minot business
and professional men and meet other
good boosters from northwestern
