Another Period

The death in Bismarck of Philip Blank, New Salem
pioneer, puts a period to the end of a long and useful
life. 1t also marks the passing of a type of man who has
done more for North Dakota, perhaps, than any other
class of citizen.
Blank was born in Germany and came to this country
as an immigrant. 1t was his adopted home and he loved
it, for the country was good to him and he prospered
here.
When he came to the untitled prairies of North Da-
kota near New Salem. Mr.. Blank was a member of the
famous colony which settled that place. Their in
telligence and industry have made it one Of the most
prosperous regions in North Dakota.
To Philip Blank and those other pioneers who colonized
North Dakota, their descendants owe a debt of gratitude.
Their prosperity has its roots in work done more than a
score of years ago.
The state is grateful to them also, for they have made
splendid citizens and their descendants are proving them
selves worthy citizens also.
If there is one lesson which their life histories bring
out more clearly than others it is the lesson of simple
faith. a realization of Americas opportunities and the
value of hard work.

City Streets and State Road Money

ISL. Louis Post DlSpatch)
While sympathizng with the need for more street
money, st. Louis can we'll hesitate before it approves
the plan OF Director of Streets and Sewers Brooks to
request of the state a portion of the state road fund for
the aoaed Width to which some of the city streets must
be built by reason of being state highways.
For more than 10 years st. Louis has occupied a posi-
ton or leadership In an uphill fight to force upon the
rural sections of Missouri a program of high type high
way construction. In the beginning many Missouri COM
munitleS were unable to visualize the benefits which
would accrue to the state at large from a unified state
highway system. Largely because of the unselfishncss
OF 81. Louis and other popu1ous centers, this opposition
gradually has disappeared until now little of it remains.
IN tne campaign two years ago for the supplemental
s75.0000o0 road bond issue, which had it's inception and
CHIEF support in st. Louis, the state was promised CON-.
p!etlon OF the state highway system and the construc-
ton OF a large mileage of so-called farm to market roads
withln seven years. That promise cannot be kept unless
all the available road funds are devoted to it's fulfillment.
"A diversion OF any portion of the fund to build city
streets IN st. Louis, or Kansas City. or any other munic-
lpaiity, Will only postpone the completion of the state
ROAD system IN the rural sections, where the chief need
Such a plan, could be carried out, it would appear, only
oy an amendment to the state highway law, which
PROMPTS the expenditure of state highway funds in anv
municipality, with one inconsequential exception. It
pefmlts the highway commission to build those portions
OF state highways in municipalities where the houses on
the route are not less than 200 feet apart.
1t is true that st. Louis. through automobile licenses
and gasoline tax, pays something like one-quarter of the
money which goes into the road fund. It is true that
none OF this money is returned to St. Louis in road or
street construction. Eut it is a mistake to take the posi-
tlon that ~. LOUIS does no profit from the fund. Every
competed state highway gives rural Missouri a more
ready access TO st. Louis. and rural Missouri is taking
advantage OF Its opportunity. Residents outside the city
come 10 ~. LOUIS markets, and st. Louis manufacturers
ina wholesalers can reach their out-state customers
more quickly. Good roads in Missouri mean increased
traue 10Y 81. Louis, and the city can very we'll continue it's
contribution to the cause. 1t is good business.
Even II a way were found to use some Of the excess
gas taxes to help the city out, it would be apt to revive
the now almost forgotten conflict between city and coun-
try, and 81. Louis likely would lose much Or all Of the
BENEFITS which Il nov has from 10 years Of uns-lfAh
ccuftlrs o. friendly relations with the state at large.

Freak Publicity Stunts
VALLEY City Peoples Opinion)

VuTICy OzrJ OpTC . OE111O1D
That the American public is being fed up on, freak
stunts was proven the past week when the two aviatOrS
came down after breaking the world record for sustained
flight and found that their twenty-seven-d day flight had
lost interest among the people on the ground. Former
attempts were met with parades, %banquets, many thou
sands OF dollars III premiums but these were all elm
mated in their recent victory over air and motor. They
will make a few flights at state fairs and then-retire-
ment. There is more of course to the continued flight
because of the ability to test motor and plane, than
there are to these tree sitting stunts, perching on flag
poles, marathon dancing and other vents of similar ma
ture that really call for nothing outside of the free pub
licity the person gets because there is nothing to be
proved to aid science by the acts. The daily papers
have spent thousands of dollars in aiding these freaks
both newspaper space and pictures of the stunters and
the reading public are becoming disguised with the
splurges over the front pages of their favorite paper.
The sooner the dailies eliminate the stunters and much
and their readers will appreciate the regular visit OF
the paper all the more.
