EDITORS NOTE-Some excerpts
from the Community Chest campaign
leaflet for which the Holedo workers
are being plundered give sugges-
ton of the nature of business propo-
sition contained in this organized
Dos charity.
Business men of sound judge
ment and wide experience make up
the budget committee. They have
devoted months to study of the
whole problem. They have met
with the representative of the
forty agencies supported by the
Chest.
The budget for the coming
campaign has been fixed at $780,
600, and there has been added to
this, the accumulated deficit of
$4,000 for the last two years,
making the total $4,000.
Some Of the boss institutions for
which the workers are being forced
to pay have been clipped from the
Community Chest leaflet and re-
arranged to bring out their true
boss significance below:

800 Hurt in Day

SAN FRANCISCO, April 19.-In-

increased from 500 to 800 day during
the last four years. Will J. French,
state director Of industrial relations,
now predicts it will not be long be-
fore the toll reaches 1000 a day. An
apparent lessening of the use of
safety devices is admitted to have
contributed to the gain.

THE RUSSIAN PEASANTS METHOD
lSf Paul Disnafch \


IN America Herbert Hoover and others consider ways
and means Of keeping the crops of the farmer from
Ioodng on the market in too great quantities. but in
Russia, the principal granary Of Europe. the problem
IS the opposite Of inducing the to part with
what ne has. The Russian Council of Peoples Com
missars has just issued order arbitrarily fixing the
prices that shall be paid the grain crop from 10
TO ~ per cent above those Of last year. These prices
are to be maintained by the government and will remain
IN effect without change for the entire marketing sea-
SON The purpose is to anticipate attempt on the
part OF the peasants to withhold their wheat and other
grain IN expectation Of still higher prices.
The Russian peasant has been rebelling against high
Tor the things he buys low prices for the things
ne sells he either raises just enough his own needs
or refuses to sell his crops after they have been raised
his is serious matter for the Russian government
which counts on the sale of wheat abroad to build IN
foreign credits Russia needs capital with which to buv
machinery for its factories and must export grain to
get it. A "
The Russian grain grower can rebel in this manner
against low prices because he is peasant needing little
more TO live than what he can grow and make with his
own hands. The American farmer, having a higher
scale OF living and business, be so INDEPENDENT
put must accept what he get for the greatest
sble crop he raise.
IN America the farmer rushes his grain to market
IN Russia the peasant embarrasses the government by
holding back So the peasant is given better price to
put him in more helpful mood and this price is made
permanent for the to counterfeit any tendency
to squeeze still better bargain Of the government

ABOUT HEADLIGHTS
(MinOt Daily Ncws)

The first to regulate traffic the state high
ways comes from the state highway commission with
the launching OF drive against glaring headlights.
Despite the fact that the of glaring headlights
mas been IN law violation for many years, there has
not the slightest evidence of any effort to enforce
the law in any county in North Dakota. AS matter
OF TACT many motorists consider the country highways
as no mans land where operate as he sees
fit.
The time is fast arriving when patrolmen must be
to regulate country traffic The fact that
officer was ranging through the county motorcycle
would have splendid effect in creating respect fo1
law.
The Fargo Forum commends the action of the high.
way commission in the following terms:
There should be dozen rousing cheers Immediately
launch Statewide drive against the use Of glarine
headlights on automobiles 1t has asked the co-opera
t1on OF police departments and sherff's offices
throughout the commonwealth, and it will get it.
In this connection it is proper to call attention to
one pont it is absolutely hopeless for the City OF
Fargo, for example, to make any Roadway against the
use OF illegal lights unless there is concerted drive
against them throughout North Dakota. One CITY can.
not fight this menace when other cities and counties
pay no attention to it. Mr. O. c. Jndvg, Commissioner
OF Police pointed this out Wednesday and his state
ment is commended to the Highway Commission
North Dakota has very strict law against the use OF
glarng lights. 1t is definite and specific in it's re-
guirements and there be mistaking it's mean
ing or no misunderstanding.
DouDtless the Commission means business. It's an
is fortnight and sincere It commends and
should have the active cooperation of peace officers
every community and county, Unless this cooperation
IS given, there will be little 1t is hoped the
officers will be vigorous and strict The law is also
clear and definite in regard to penalty, and severe
penalty should be given every offender There has been
enough loss of life because Of binding lights There is
too much danger from them and that danger must be
wiped out at once.

NARROW ROADS

Smooth all-year highways have been built connect
ing city with city but the traffic problem acute
ever. Such states New York. California, Ohio Penn
syvana and Illinois boast Of their complete systems
improved roads but the traveller those roads finds
them badly congested.
The motorist 60 almost anywhere without en-
counterng roads impossible with mud but he cannot
approach large city drive far Sunday Holt
day without finding roads nearly impossible because of
traffic congestion.
Road construction in recent years has gone on at
rapid pace in every section of the United States, but
few roads are wide enough to meet present traffic
needs. That highway is which carry peak
traffic without congestion
On 2O-foot road, with line of traffic in each d.
recton car travelling 20 miles an hour can hold up
long line Of for miles. If traffic in the other direc
ton is heavy cars coming from the Of slow-mov-
ing vehicle cannot pass without endangering life and
traffic.
Two-track roads not adequate for present-day
needs. In the motor age they occupy the same posi-
ton as the one-track road of the horse age
With the number Of vehicles constantly increasing,
with cities constantly growing with the movement Of
express and freight by motor truck and of
by bus constantly expanding is becoming evident that
new highways should be of not less than threetrack
width.

COUNTY MUST SUPPLEMENT STATE

Recently on this page The Tribune reprinted an edi-
toral from the Fargo Forum relative to the highway
work OF Cass county. The system naugurated by the
Cass county board of commissioners worthy Of study
and imitation by other counties of the state if there
to be orderly development Of highways throughout
the state.
Under present conditions, the State Highway COM
mission cannot the entire obligation Of improved
roadways. The fund available for road consruc-
ton is far too small to keep pace with the demand for
arteral highways not to mention lateral roads which
must link remote portions of the various counties to the
main pixies.
Cass county has pointed the way for development
Of we'll rounded county road program which will link
up with that Of the state highway department. Until
such time legislation is passed and the Of good
roads far advances that the state take over all
road work, the counties must revamp their own road
programs. It is important that county effort should
supplement state road activity and along much the same
standard in SO far as the engineering is involved

The particular choice Of location is
based on propinquity to the Palace
Theater. The Palace, insofar as
Broadway is concerned, is goddess Of
the big time" Achievement Of a
place in the big lights Of the Palace
is as mama from heaven to the
struggling "small timer"
The lot of the dumb" act is not
exactly a happy one. At best it's a
question of opening or closing the
bill. If placed at the opening, they
work" to q partially filled theater,
the audience struggling in and CIV
ing little heed to what is going on.
If they close the show, they must in
deed have tremendous novelty to
keep q FESTIVE crowd in its seats.
Ordinarily their act goes on to a
banging Of seats and grabbing of
hats as the spectators begin to make
their getaway.
Just now times are not as good as
they might be in the dumb" act bus
mess. The other day ! came upon a
pretty fair equilibrist giving out
handbills on the corner. And again,
watching group for q short time,
could see a few slip away and dis
appear into doorway Of the theater,
only to return later shaking their
heads. The pantomime is dramati-
cally expressive. A shrug Of the
shoulder means that there will be no
work that week: or the next. -.
The dumb" acts speak in many
t.ngues--German, Hungarian. Rus
sian, Bohemian. They are, for the
most part, imports" If hard times
has placed its hand upon them, it's
difficult to note its effect.
They seem well-fed, broad shout
dered, robust and hearty. There is
little to suggest the theater in their
appearance. They do not affect the
yellow cloths and the loud shirts of
the song-and-dance-men to be en-
countered q few blocks away lolling
near a burlesque house. Many, met
upon q continental street, could cas-
lily be taken for honest burghers.
Their women-folk, when they ap-
pear. remind one of a husky barmaid
dressed for their fair. There is lit
tie Of the Broadway flair and snap
to their attire. A few might be mis-
taken for burlesque queens Of an.
other day. A prominent gold tooth
is generally revealed when they
smile and hair is likely to suggest 4
visit to the peroxide bottle.
OF all the plav-folk caught in
Broadway they are most like the
plain peasant folk-and, I gather,
the most harassed by the uncertain.
ties of an uncertain profession.

ELTINcE THEATRE

"Telling the World" which is fea-
tured on the Eltinge screen for to-
day and Thursday is perhaps the
best of the line Of starring pictures
with which William Haines during
the past two years has periodically
convulsed and thrilled these United
States.
The story concerns youthful
ne'er-do-well who when elected into

IN NEW YORK

New York, Aug. 22.-"Curb mar
kets Of hope" they call certain cor
ners Of Broadway.
For here, upon the curbstones,
gather clusters Of work-seeking folk
of the amusement business to talk Of
prospects and lack Of them. At 18th
street, or thereabouts. you'll see the
jazz banditti, their saxophones,
trombones and such parked en- the
notwithstanding for something
to turn up" Not far away gather the
folk Of the midway world +. midg-
cts, giants, high divers. and all the
rest.
Just now their corner, like Mother
Hubbard's cupboard, is bare-for the
tent shows are on the road and
thereIl be no activity until early
spring. There's q gathering place in
the schubert Alley" for chorines and
a point at which the burlesque boys
browse.
The latest is the dumb" act
rendezvous at 47th street and Broad
way. And when dumb" acts meet
they're not exactly silent. A "dumb"
act, in the vernacular Of the theater,
refers to q juggler, family of tum-
blers, q tight rope performer, an ac-
robatic number or an "aerial artist"
That is to say, they are performers
who, when on stage, work silently.

his hatred of Tammany, was Sc

gents in his own state. But although
his machine at home has been re-

LET Indy ALONE

Quite bit of fuss is being made over the fact that
an unidentified young lady rode with COL Lndbergh
flight to New York recently.
Nothing much can be learned about her, it seems
Dispatches say she "a TALL beautiful girl with gray
eyes," she left the field with Lndys mother, who also
was passenger in the plane and couldn't be found by
reporters.
It's too bad the boys couldn't learn her name. But,
after ALL isn't it about time the young colonel had
rest from this sort of prying? Suppose he did take
tall, beautiful girl with gray eyes, up for flight in
his plane; what of it? We say that think lot of
him. Why not prove it by letting him go his own sweet
way for while, unbothered by reporters and camera
men?
