izenship, especially as they apply to

is $780, 900 Of which all but $20c 900
was paid with tax money. The. bank
has loaned ncraly $4,000. 900 on
first mortgage security and has had
to levy 100000 to pay interest on
real estate bonds when the mortga-
gors failed to meet their obligations.
The annual levy to meet principal
and interest on industrial bonds
Shafer placed at from 100000 to
100000.
Defiations in state government
Shafer listed as follows: Abolition
Of the state grain-grading depart
mcnt; limiting the inspectors force
in the licensing division Of the at-
torncy generals office to three men
and placing supervision Of weights
and measures IN the hands of coun-
ty sheriffs. The soldiers bonus
division Of the adjutant generals
office will shortly discontinue, the
last levy for this purpose having
been made in 1927.
The state creamery, homebuilders
association and Drake mill have
closed, Shafer said. The Bank Of
North Dakota has reduced it's bust
ness since 1922 and confined itself
to farm loans, but the general pow
ers of the bank have not been mod
flied and its activities have been re-
stricted by policy rather than by
law.
Outlook Not Encouraging
The outlook for the future is not
encouraging, Shafer said. Increased
enrolment at state institutions will
prevent decrease in their mainten-
ance cost. Demand for highways is
resulting in pressure for = higher
gasoline and motor vehicle tax.
"The state has become involved in
debt and has obligated itself to pay
large annual interest and principal
charges and other items Of loss
which will continue for many
years." Shafer said.
Outlining his own position he
said it is possible as we'll as neces-
sary to prevent further increase in
state expenditures. But this can
only be accomplished by taking a
firm stand against further expan-
sion of the powers and functions of
the state and by curtailing,
in some respects, its present consti-
tutional and legislative authority to
expend public funds and incur pub
lie obligations.
"Until such time as both our
population and wealth increase we
have all the government and all the
state owned and operated institu-
tions and enterprises that we can
afford to maintain. and it behooves
the good people Of our state to
throttle down the speed Of the gi-
gantic governmental machine that
has been established to the end that
it may become servant Of the peo-
pie and not their MASTER"

JPSHAW AND SMITH

Congressman William D. tpshaw of Georgia is in Connecticut. made d speech ill Hartford, and is due 10 make one in New Britain. Tn Hart ford he gave his arguments against the nomination Of Governor smith by the mocrats: it was that if the New Yorker is nominated the south will go Republican.
 If that were likely the grand old party would be pleased with the prospect of the Smith nomination; instead of drea ding the possibility of being compelled 10 do battle against inc New York it would do all in it's power 10 stimulate his nomin- alton.
 Instead of that the grand old par " is sorclv hcset with prospects of having q hard tussle at the polls. Evidently the Republicans cannot get themselves to agree with Con gressman Upshaw on this point.

 Buying control of railroad IS an expensive undertaking, and only the finest or best paying properties are considered worth such a financial effort. As the New York Central bought control of the Michigan Central in late years it was found that the fewer the outstanding shares remaining the higher they skyrockctcd, until the comparatively few shares still outside of New York Central control were being held for more than sl,000 each. Even this sum was not too much to pay, al- though a few holders continue to re- fuse parting with their securities. It would be a grand spectacle if the New Haven shares were bid up in that manner!

The arrival of the Bremen no doubt will form an epoch in the annals of reckoning time in that vicinity.

 We hear and read much about the advance of civilization: but there are millions who live in just as primitive fashion as the fisher folk along the coast of Labrador; these in India, China. Africa and the other backward countries.
 Perhaps happiness. like many an- other attribute. is relative. What the primitiyes don't know about they don't miss; what they don't know won't hurt them; what they lack doesn't need 10 be paid for.

tually the entire country is similarly afflicted. this despite the vast amount of warning made against the breaking dsunder of the bonds of matrimony. In most states, accord ins to the statistics. one marriage out of every ten goes to smash; in Chicago it was announced recently that divorces equallcd one-fifth the number of marriages.
 IL is mere suesswork to blame one sex or the other. Blame probably attaches to both sexes. The wrecked marriages usually are the result of unreasonable courtship. as q western minister phrased it, being spur of the moment affairs, the step being taken with the knowledge that if domcsticity turns out to be a snare the divorce court is accommodating Whether the recently enacted law in Connecticut forcing q notice of five days Of marriage intentions has had any good result so far is doubtful
 The situation is increa singly com- plicatel by the established fact that a great many marriages are taking place later in life than used to be the case. Watchful waiting until the right person" trots along seems to be a rule. This retards the marriage rate, There are more bachelors and bachelorettes nowadays than ever before, far fewer marriages per thousand of population, a far great CT proportion of marriages take place later in life than formerly, there are fewer children and a vast crop of divorces. Maybe this is a development of super civilization, the result of more diversified en-
 ioyment of luxuries, the accompani- ment of higher level of prosperity. Whatever it is, those are the facts.
 The tendency is likely to continue,
 according to social experts: and to add to the general melee along come ideas about companionatc marriage

 The New Haven Journal-Courler this morning carried the following headlines: Bruce Flowers Scores Technical Knockout Over Nat kaw- Ter in Fifth Round. Joey Kaufman Reported Sick Yesterday A. NJ
 All of which means that at a pro- fessional boxing contest, supervised by the state boxing commission and supposed to be run on the square. the papers were used to advertise crack boxer. the crowd paid its money 10 sec the crack boxing bout, but when the scrap started it vas found the crack boxer did not show up. and a straw man was put up Tn his place.

 It was announced that Xavier took sick suddenly he had been in fine condition the day before. Of course, nobody asked to get back his money, as that is rarely done. l Let such thing occur at ar amateur bout" however. and the indignation among the professionals knows no bounds.

MORE SUNDAY SHOW AGITATION LOOMS

The new ordinance committee Of the Common Council is slated to ac- cept little child placed on it's door, step from the Weld administration. The tot is the question of permitting the showing of moving pictures on Sunday, which no doubt many citi- zcns thought had been settled in the negative. Alderman D. l.. Nar, who has been identified with the com- mittee as chairman. himself Was quoted as saying he does not know why the matter was referred back to the Council. Probably nobody else does. But there it is, ready for an other settlement.
 Meanwhile a new administration goes into power. We do not presume to state what Mayor Paonessa's views are on Sunday afternoon movies. but the consensus Of opin- ion is he is inclined to be liberal i'll his attitude toward legislation which can he interpreted as being of satis- faction to many. The trouble in this moving picture agitation is that mo- body knows just how the majority stands. The Common Council, in de- nying such shows in the past, doubt less believed it was representing ma iority opinion in the city: but there is nobody who can say definitely which way popular sentiment leans. One mans guess probably is as good as another. It is a question that really needs q referendum, but there I is no provision for such a counting
 of noses in the city government. l So far the strong religious oppo-
 sition includes virtually all churches, 1 denominations and sccts. It is a

LIFE IN LABRADOR

When the Bremen parked on Grccnly Island, off the coast Of Labrador, making the tiny specli in Belle Isle strait famous the world over. We also got an insight into the lives of the people who live ill this outpost of civilization. Along the coast. q distance of about 50 miles. there ST" several hundred people: here and thcr" are settlements containing 4 dozen or so houses, or huts.
 These people lack all the modern comforts of civilization: perhaps they have ways of amusing them selves when not dong chores or working at catching fish and shoo'- ing gamc. but on thc whole their lives are primitive in the extreme.
