A Good Place to Live

Work for and with your home town. Beau
tify it, Improve it. Make it attractive. Help
make it the kind of town that you really want
to live in.
The best advertisement of your business is
the town you live in if it's the kind of town
it should be.
Towns get regulations as we'll as men. Rep
ettion makes reputation Make your towns
reputation one that will attract favorable at
tention. 1t will thus draw people and where
people come there is prosperity.
Help rid Bismarck of one eyesore after an
Their. Clean up vacant lots, and plant them in
gardens Make cluttered-up yard disgrace
and an implanted house reproach. Cut the
weeds, clean the streets and fix the sidewalks.
Wash the store windows and discountenance
the flaring sale sign. Be fair to your public
officials and pay your taxes without grumbling
so that they may give the best service pos
sbe back to you.
Make public opinion too hot for those who
knock, refuse to cooperate for general good and
who will not help.
Our town should be one where folks are
friendly, where progressiveness is appreciated
where good roads make it accessible, where
proper sanitary methods are conducive to
heathfulness where attractiveness is consid-
cred an asset, where education fits for the fu-
ture, where recreations are plentiful for all,
where government is efficient and popular
where living conditions are good, where the
helping hand is extended to the unfortunate,
where employment is plentiful where invest
ments are sound, where intolerance is un-
known, and church spires point the way to
Heaven.
That's the kind of home town we want?

Time has way Of playing queer tricks on
us. 1t takes our old fables, discredited for cen
turtles, and makes them come true.
Three or four centuries ago men believed
that the Amazon basin of South America was
q land of great riches Sir Walter Raleigh
outfitted an expedition for that region seeking
the great city of Manaos. which. he was as
sured was made all of gold. Spain and Portu-
gal sent similar outfits; one and all, they never
doubted that the tropical jungles hid wealth
that would make the loot of Mexico and Peru
look insignificant.
They never found their golden cities. They
found jungles Of incredible density, cut up by
turbulent rivers interviewer with limitless
swamps peopled by head-hunting savages who
moved like ghosts among the thousand-mile
forests, infested with biting and singing in
sects and snakes, haunted by tropical diseases.
In these jungles their expeditions melted
away; the survivors came back convinced that
Brazil held no gold, and that if it did the jungle
was an impossible barrier. History accepted
their verdict
But now Henry Ford, who possibly never
heard of Walter Raleigh, is following in the
footsteps of the old adventures, seeking riches
in the great Amazon jungle. And where they
failed he is sure TO succeed. He is not looking
for golden cities or bejeweled, barbaric kings
all he wants is tract of land where he can
grow rubber trees. But he will take from the
Amazon region more money than Raleigh and
his compeers ever dreamed Of.
For the fact is that the Amazon basin is just
as rich as the old adventures thought. 1t has
no golden cities, to be sure; but potentially it
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1928-05-10

is one of the richest sections Of land on the
globe. For untold centuries the dank jungles
have been enriching its soil 1t has hot wealth
er and abundant rainfall: it's productivity
would make even farmers from fertile Kansas
rub their eyes. Some day, when capital has
been invested to open it up, it will be fabu-
lousy green garden spot.
Ford is to be the first to tap it, He has a
tract Of land as large as Connecticut and Rhode
Island combined; it is estimated that on this
land he could easily grow, not only enough rub
Der for himself but enough for every other tire
manufacturer in the United States as we'll.
Brazil, jubant over his coming has given him
concession that makes him a vertable king.
He will build cities and railroads, engage in
all manner of business; and Brazil believes that
this will prove the beginning Of the cultivation
Of the great Amazon jungles.
The city of Manaos will never be found.
There is no gold in the Jungle But there is
tremendous wealth. The old adventures were
right, and so were their fables. 1t remains for
modern business man to succeed where they
failed.

followed the dismissal of Director
A. p. Davis Of the Reclamation
Service in June, 1923. Tall is un-
derstood to have plotted Davis dis
missal, but the mans reputation as
an outstanding scientist of great
ability and integrity always saved
him. Then Secretary of the Interior
Work, while Congress was out Of
session and he and Harding were
en- route to Alaska, got rid Of Davis.
It was charged that Work
promised Davis new position If he
would make his resignation appear
voluntary.
Work contended that the job
needed business man instead IT
an engineer. He gave the job to
Ex-Governor D. w. Davis, a former
banker and grocer, who had no civil
service status. Work obtained an
executive order exempting D. w.
Davis from civil service require
ments, despite protest of the Civil
Service Commission. Engineers and
conservationists branded the deal
as political craftsmanship" The
Federated Engineering Societies OF
America, with $4,000 members, de-
manded an investigation and pro-
tested on behalf Of loyal, underpaid
government scientists whose Jobs
appeared jeopardized.
Ex-Governor Davis didn't last
long. In the following year he was
succeeded by Elwood Mead, an engi-
neer, satisfactory to the conserva-
tionists.
Since Fall, the conservationists
say, there appear to have been no
serious attempts to raid the public
lands in derogation Of the public
interest.

WASHINGTON 81
LETTER M

through the executive order and
handed them to favored interests,
Fall then went after the navy's
oil. When he took office, the navy
had five reserves-petroleum re.
serves at Elk Hills and Buena Vista,
Calf, and Teapot Dome, Wyo., plus
two shale reserves in Utah. When
Fall left the cabinet, the navy had
its two shale reserves, which no
one wanted. Doheny had Elk Hills
(which he said was worth
500, 900, 900 to him; the Southern
Pacific and the Honolulu Oil COM
pany had divided up Buena Vista
with Falls help and Harry Sinclair
had Teapot Dome.
Fall had obtained jurisdiction
over those reserves, which his pre-
decessors in the government had
carefully set aside and preserved
from raids of the predatory. Naval
officers charged that his disposition
Of the reserves "risked the national
existence of the United States"
Corruption was alleged in the
leases Of Elk Hills and Teapot
Dome, but the instance in which Fall
overruled subordinates who tried to
save Buena Vista has not had as
much publicity. It is said that for
years previous, Fall had supported
a campaign of the oil interests to
deliver the three reserves, but it
was never successful until he took
office.
The supreme court has branded
the Sinclair and Doheny leases as
fraudulent or corrupt and ordered
return of the reserves of the navy.
Charges that men prominent in gov
eminent made "cleanups" in Sim
clair stock after the Teapot lease
never have been proved.
Fall resigned March 4, 1929. He
had been constantly under fire.
Later he was credited with per-
suading President Harding to visit
Alaska in furtherance Of his
schemes to open up that territory's
resources to the hungry hordes.
But Harding, proceeding to Alaska,
became converted by the opposition
and in his last speech before his
death, at Seattle, endorsed the
principles of conservation and
blasted the hopes of Fall and his
friends.
The last conservationist outburst

BY RODNEY BUTCHER
NEA Service Wrif>p


Washington, May 10.-When Al
bert Bacon Fall was made secre-
tary Of the interior, the conserva-
tionists nearly went into connipticn
fits.
Fall was given jurisdiction over
millions Of acres Of oil lands, coal
lands, phosphate and potash lands,
grazing lands, forest lands and oil
the great resources Of the public
domain in Alaska.
In the preceding nine years, a.
senator, he had consistently opposed
conservation measures and favored
nearly all measures designed to
grant public resources for unpro-
tected private exploitation.
Fall promptly astonished nearly
everyone by an attempt to take the
national forests from the jurisdic.
ton Of the Department of Agricul-
ture, where they had been since
1905. 1t was alleged that he was
working for paper manufacturers
who wanted dense pulpwood forests
in Alaska. A bitter row between
Fall and Secretary Of Agriculture
Wallace broke out. A great howl
went up over the country. The
American Forestry association
grabbed everything in sight to fling
at Fall and such conservationists
as Clifford Pinchot and Harry Stat
terry joined with the forest service
itself to save the forests. Fall lost.
The old gentleman, before and
since his retirement, has been &C.
cused Of q great deal more than
looting the naval oil reserves. He
has been charged with favoring his
friends as he FASTENED to open up
the oil and coal lands and to have
violated frequently the law in dis
position Of these and water and
other rights.
Indians and their friends charged
that the Fall-endorsed Bursum bill
of 1922 would have robbed the
Indians of all or most Of their
property, amounting to more than
a billion dollars. The General Fed
Grafton Of Women's clubs and other
organizations lobbied successfully
to beat the bill and the storm Of
criticism helped hasten Falls exit
from the cabinet the next year.

craftsmanship to run away from a
fight that you were responsible for?
Norman was protecting you, as he
saw it. Was it fair to leave him
to whatever might happen to him?
Personally, I'm glad you had sense
enough to realize what an ugly af-

I'll bet you haven't baked q cake
for Alan in weeks-those two men
wouldn't have had occasion to be
fighting each other?
That's something for you to think
about when you rebel against the
established rules of society. Where
would things end without order in
the world? It's only by keeping
in our own orbit, living our own
lives as law and custom has decreed
that we shall live them, that we are
able to have peace and security.

Of convention and custom.
If you'd use q little more mag

you would better appreciate a home
and q chance to live happily. It
may seem like happiness to you to

what l believe you call 'free

sure to do, you will discover that
there is real pleasure to be had
in the simple things of life.
Al! ! hope is that you won't be
too long finding it out, because
something you might do may be too
much for Alan to tolerate. If MOTH

of Broadway everything is stressed

of Broadway everything is stressed
except the word "work." And work
is what the chlorine knows little else
but. We are all inclined to tell
about her heartaches and her woes,
her successes and her scandals, her
temptations and her virtues, but the
hours she has to put into labor
somehow 60 neglected.
Not the least Of the heartbreaks
that come to the ladies Of the cho-
rus grow out of the fact that after
the struggle to get her job, the
weeks Of rehearsal and the nights
Of effort on stage, her show fails
to click and closes. Rehearsals
mean hour after hour Of actual
physical effort, with an endless
repetition of routine steps.
Yet, ] should say, chorines seem
to me to get more fun out Of their
work than any group Of people
know. They approach their daily
stunts with gayety that seems in
credible when one considers the day
in-and-day-out nature Of their occu-
pations. And one hears extremely
little complaint, such as comes
from stenographers, clerks and
others who are called upon for a
little extra effort. In the code of
the chlorine there seems to be no
such term as "extra effort" Elk
ira matinees, midnight perform
ances-it's all in their lifetime.
Discipline doubtless plays q large
part in this attitude, for no group
Of rockies ever underwent any great
err course Of discipline than does the
average lady Of the ensemble.
The recent explosion in Wall
Street, which kept tickers operating
long after closing time, created q
run on bookkeepers such as even
Manhattan had never seen before.
The enormous trading in stocks
necessitated extra staffs in almost
every brokers' office. Bookkeepers
who happened to live out Of town
suddenly moved into the city and
took rooms at hotels.
AS result clerks who formerly
were to be found at Coney Island
now can be seen Of week-ends stroll
ing the boardwalk at Atlantic City
rubbing elbows with their bosses
who cleaned up millions. Broad
way has also found these bonanza
days Of Wall Street helpful to its
pocketbook. With millions in ready
money loose in the city, the law Of
''easy come, easy GO" is applying
even as in the gold camp days.
am told that never In years have
the dice games Of Broadway been
50 many and SO large. In one resort
tens of thousands have changed
hands nightly.
There is no ritzier gesture than
