Hannah, N. D..


Editor Tribune:
would like to draw your attention
to what I call the unfairness Of our
school laws with regard to school
buses In the rural districts.
The law states that anyone living
within two miles Of the school must
take his children to school or pay
someone else to take them. Those
living more than the two miles are
taken to school by the buses provided
by the school board. Now the point
is this: The man living within two
miles OF the school must lose all the
time 1t takes to 60 to school and
fetch them back in the afternoon out
Of his time In the field. while on the
other hand the man that is two miles
from school can 60 into the field and
do q days work. knowing that his
children are taken to school and re-
turned without any cost to himself.
Now I think, Mr.. Editor, you will
see the unfairness Of this. Either all
the children should i've taken In the
buses or each family should take its
own.
There was q time when a man liked
to rent q farm as near q school as he
could get. Now 1t seems that the
farther away he Is the better off he is.
As it Is now, the man who has to
take his children to school pays just
as much taxes as the man who has
his children taken to school and ten
dollars to boot.
Now, Mr.. Editor, do you think !
have any kick coming or not? The
law says equal rights to all and spe-
cial privileges to none, and 1t looks
to me that this law gets about as far
away from It as the devil will let it.

SAFEGUARDING PUBLIC DE-
POSTS
Ricm rob NJ n

Bismarck, N. D.
Editor Tribune:
We read so much in the newspapers
about safeguarding public deposits
that we are led to believe that this
kind OF deposits are the only kind Of
deposits Of any significance. We are
In hearty accord with safeguarding
this kind Of deposits against any
possible loss, to safeguard public
funds against any loss, is to take care
Of the best interest of the people.
We al must concede that it is of
the utmost Importance in safeguard
ing public funds. Public funds orig
mate with the people and should re-
ceive due care for the benefit Of the
people at large. Public funds can not
be accumulated unless sustained by
private funds.
Do we ever hear about safeguarding
private funds against any possible
loss? We have been told that this
can not be done and we confess we
are ignorant of the reason why. If
the people are going to stand idly by
and let private funds 60 down the
river through bank failures, then in
the name Of the good Lord we ask
the simple question, how are we going
to pay our taxes and other obliga-
lions? When private funds are de-
pleted and squaudered, then the pub
lie funds will very soon become
mighty slim.
We contend that safeguarding one
kind Of deposits is Of Just as great
importance as to safeguard the other
kind. OLE SATHER,.

Editor, Tribune:
Comes Lincoln's birthday. Let all
remember his warning. Speaking Of
the dangers that beset the republic.
he asked: lat what point then is the
approach Of danger to be expected?
! answer, II 1t ever reaches us, 1t must
spring up amongst US: 1t cannot come
from abroad. II destruction be our
lot we must ourselves be its author
and finiSher. As q nation Of free
men we must live through all time
or die by suicide.
How shall we fortify against It?
The answer is simple. Let every
American. every lover Of liberty, every
well-wisher to his posterity, swear by
the blood Of the Revolution never to
violate in the least particular the
laws Of the country, and never to
tolerate their violation by others. Let
every American pledge his life. his
property and his sacred honor. let
every man remember that to violate
the law Is to trample on the blood 81
MS father. and to tear the charter
OF his own and his children's liberty. .
Is life as safe in America IS Ia
England? It Is not. Is property "a
the United States as secure as IN
Japan? The figures thunder q mega
tive. It Is easy to understand, when
leaders In commercial, social and
financial circles scott and sheer at
laws they do not like, murderers, rob-
bers and forgers. gamblers and liber-
tines, better the example.
Democracy Is yet m experiment
which can only succeed through The
enjoyment Of "liberty under law

DETROIT, April 18 Q.N.Sl.--
Samuel Ahramson, notorious New
York and Detroit underworld char
acter, was shot TO death by gang
sters here early today. His bullet
riddled body was found In a puddle
Of water in an alley in an outlying
residential section.
Detectives of the homicide squad
are certain Abramson was slain for
revenge. Liquor deals are prob

him from a poor pickpocket sus-

than $780, 900. His resorts here
were known to police as hideouts
for New York gunmen and fugitive
pickpockets.
