LICENSING BOARDS
o The Bismarck Tribune:

~ AHe OlSm6Fck IFDune:
More and more the Legislature is
creating numerous license boards
which innocently look as if the fees
from licenses shall pay all expenses,
without any additional burden on the
taxpayers, provided, however, that
such salaries and expenses shall be
payable only out of such fund and
shall not be in excess thereof and
provided further that any money Of
such fund unexpended on July l.,
and every two years thereafter, shall
be turned into the General Fund Of
the state," is the common wording
of an act. So it looks like an inno-
cent thing with no added burdens
upon taxpayers. Then the outcome is
that all fees are used in Overhead,
"tips" necessary to walters while in
spectors are on trips, almost "jaunts"
and etc. And nothing is turned into
the General Fund.
But the worst is not yet stated.
States Attorneys of each county are
called upon to investigate, trips Of
investigation to ba paid for by the
counties, not out of the fund from
the licenses, and expenses of prose-
cution, sometimes heavy costs, part
ly because an act fails to provide that
the absence of license shall be as
sumed affirmatively- unless one pro-
duces his license-all such expenses
of most Of these beautiful boards
fall upon the counties, is not charg-
able to the fund from the fees from
licensing.
Rapidly the poor counties are be-
coming the turtles back for holding
up the new and improved world.
Our new Governor rightly calls
for halt in increased taxation, but
what is this Legislature going to do
about it. in practical and concrete
ways? Is it words, words, words
emily? What is going to be done to
actually make the various licensing
boards already existing self-support-
ing, without these burdens mentioned
resting upon the taxpayers, while
each board pretehds TO be entirely
self-supportingf'
The burden is getting so heavy
that the turtle can't hold it up.
Sincerely,
A. MEG. Beede,
States Attorney Of Poor Sioux
County, N. p. .tf*

New York, Jan. 18.-See-sawing up

beautiful with the years. Saw
Cliff Edwards (Ukulele 1ke), who can
make his voice behave like a saxo-

refusing to be put in that position.
And the politicians Of both coun-
! tries are right, by the rules of the
game. in promising their own peo-
! Piles to do what those people want
done, even though they know it is
impossible.
For, while it remains game,
these are its rules. And those of US
who dream that it ought not to be

which everybody knows is a very
, bad thing to be.
Second. Glass Mail Rates
And, coming quite home: The
newspapers are Of course right in
complaining that the increase in
second-class mail rates is being
rushed through on a one-sided
showing, without time fairly to pre-
! sent the other side.
But the president is also right in
rushing the bill. For he is meeting
similar rush BY Congress to pass
the postal salaries bill over his

the president. and then the publish
ers would have time to make their
case, if they have one.
But more important than all these
considerations is insistence on the
principle that whenever any conSid-
cradle extra, expense is authorized,
the tax to meet it shall be part of
the same act.
Whenever Congress can only make
a popular appropriation by accom-
panying it with an unpopular tax,
We shall have real economy.
Jap Grievance Against World
To add one more, that is wrong
both ways:
The whole grievance Of the Japa-
nese against the world involves
fundamental dilemma, neither horn
of which they dare choose.
Their protest against "racial dis
elimination" either does or does not
include the other oriental races.
If. it does, it. is a demand to swamp
the world. !.
If it does not, it is claim by the
Japanese to be included on the white
side of race lire which they con-
sent shall be drawn against the
others.
j One claim cannot be made to
America; the other must not be
heard in China.

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRESCOTT
TO JOHN ALDEN PRESCOTT
NEVER MAILED

l am lonely tonight, Jack, my hus-
banda little bit more lonely than !
have ever been before in my life.
My heart hurts with longing for
you. l want to feel your arms about
me. l want to look into your dear
eyes and see that crooked little smile
that makes your mouth tell tales
even before you speak.
Most of all, dear, I want you to
make me know, dear, that you love
me.
You did such an unkind thing to
me when Alice died and it seemed to
me that my heart was broken but to-
night am sending my very soul out
to you with the words, You do love
me. don't you?. .,..x> .,,..--... 49,.
Don't laugh at me, dear heart, and
say OF course l do. Just take me in
your arms and hold me close to your
heart and tell it to me with that lit
tie catch in your voice that it had
when you said to me only little
while ago "Whatever happens, dear,
remember l love you and have loved
you always"
Well, something did happen, Jack,
and for a little while, Jack, it blotted
out those words and now l am trying
to remember them but my heart
grows cold with apprehension and
grow terror-stricken. My breath
comes cold across my lips. My heart
stops beating. Something clasps my
throat. strangle and gasp at the
thought. l dare not ask, "Do YOU

Or, take the renewed quarrel Of
the Rhine: Unquestionably, there are
forbidden arms in Germany.
But if the Allies are to hold Co.
logne until Germany's disarmament
is complete, they will wait until the
last bootlegger in America is jailed
If the government itself shows
good faith and is reasonably eff
cient in enforcing compliance on
others, that may not be enough, but
it is all that anyone expects to get
Meantime, the practical problem
is to use the sort of pressure that
will produce results and to avoid
the sort that will prevent them
Holding the Rhine will not stop the
Nationalists and the Hitlerites from
bootlegging arms. Rather, it will
encourage them. And it renders more
difficult the formation Of a govern
ment that can leave the Nationalists
out.
The British are right in staying,
to keep the French from taking their
places; the French are doubtless cor
rect in claiming that all the treaty
conditions of evacuation have not
been met; and the Germans are
right in objecting.
Doubtless all three are chiefly en-
gagged in public bluff, for home con-
sumption. while preparing privately
to agree on something practical.
We're Right; So Is France
One step nearer home: We are Of
course right in demanding that the
French pay up, though we know
that they will not, and that our
business men would storm Washing
ton with protest if there were any
way it can be done-by increasing
their sales to US and decreasing their
purchases from US.
The French were right in making
speeches to their own people saying
that they would not pay, and in now
issuing diplomatic denials that they
never said it.
We are right in refusing to allow
our debts to be considered in .rela-
tion to the other war debts, though
we know that they are related, and
that the final settlement will be a
related one.
The, French are right in trying to
maneuver us into the position of be-
ing the collectors Of their repara-
tions from Germany, in order to be

ADVENTURE OF
THE TWINS
BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON

wont you come with US on an
adventure" begged Nancy.
The Fairy Queen smiled. "Why ?"
said she. aren't you having a good
time?'
"Oh, yes indeed" said Nancy, "but
We want-you to 60 with US, if we
are going to have an adventure"
The Fairy Queen looked very
much pleased. "Well, my dears,"
| said she, that is why sent for you.
That is exactly what am going to
| do. am going on an adventure
with you."
1t had all happened this way, you
see.
| That morning when the Twins,
Nancy and Nick, woke up, they had
found the magic green shoes beside
their beds.
They knew the magic shoes by
sight because they had had them on
before, and many a good time they
|; had had in them.
Jumping out of bed now, they
dressed and slipped them on, and
scarcely we're their heels we'll settled

repeated. and clapped her hands
three times.
Nimble Toes came a-runninp and
knelt down and bumped his head on
the ground before her.

eyes, Your Highness," said MINI
BILE Toes, disappearing at once.
Are we going to ride on butter
fly?' asked Nancy.
"Come and see," said the Fairy
Queen going down the coral stairs
and taking them by the hand.
Down the long hall they went, and
out of the front door that was
opened by two fairies.
There right in front of the steps
stood Nimble Toes beside an enor-
nous butterfly, all bridled and sad
died and ready to 60. His wings of
blue velvet kept going slowly up
and down as though to say, "Just
see how handsome we are. Please
admire our fine golden spots"
! Yes! Two Spot was certainly hand
some, from his long black horns to
the tail of his sooty coat. All black
and blue and gold was he, with
touches of rose at the edge of his
wings.
"Hop on" commanded the Fairy
Queen.
"Oh NOT" said Nick. Ladies first!"
So the Twins and Nimble Toes
helped her on, and then Nancy and
Nick scrambled on behind.

little boy and girl could ride .on

that's because.I haven't told you all
about the magic shoes.
| The magic green shoes could make
the persons who wore them any size
at all. No matter where the person
wanted to 60, the shoes saw to it
that he was just the right size
whether it was to walk through a
keyhole or sit at giants dinner
table.
But at any rate, there they were
on the butterfly back starting on
a journey.

Water Rights and Human Rights
