lCOMMONSENSE SHOULD BE
UPPERMOST

According to the Minnesota highway
bulletin, the rule of common sense
has again been affirmed by the Min
nesOta Supreme Court, which tells
motorists how they can have the bene-
fit of the right-of-way when they en-
ter stop street. Once the inter-
secting motOrist has complied with
the stop order of the sign, he has the
same rights as the motorists on any
sign is not designed to nor should it
do away with common sense. The
golden rule does not apply to more
advantage anywhere than it does on
the road where cars are rushing to
and fro at terrifying speeds.
However just because the motorist,
coming into the through street,
has made his safety stop is no
reason why he should push right
in ahead of any and every car
on that street. On the other
hand the motorist that is on the
through street should be just as con-
siderate of the intersections with an
eye always FOR the streets with the
stop signs at their entrance. DRIVERS
of vehicles always must be mindful
of the abiding rule requiring exercise
of due care to avoid a collision" rules
the court. In other words the law
can dispose of the rights of the road
hog but it does not necessarily dis
pose of him. That is something for
each and every motorist to take into
consideration.
Regardless of where one is and
whether the right-of-way is conceded,
it is always best to be considerate of
others. If each motorist would do
this there would be room for every
body on the highways. In fact the
word "right-of-way" should never have
been placed in the vocabulary of the
mOtorist but common sense should
ever remain of prime Importance.

WAR COSTS TOO MUCH MONEY
(Duluth Hprald1

Most of the argument against war is
based on moral and sentimental rea-
sons that are powerful enough.
But the argument might very well
rest wholly on economic grounds and
still be strong enough to convince any
reasonable mind that war is the most
foolish of the many human fOllies.
Especially when it is realized that
nowadays no nations investment in
war will ever return any dividends,
even to the victor.
For instance, President HOover's
clear statement of the Federal budget,
presented to congress, showed that
seventy-two per cent of the vast
expenditures of this peaceful and
peace-loving nation goes for wars,
past or prospective.
The actual machinery of govern
ment, including costly congressional
conversation, takes only eight cents
out of every tax dollar. Seven cents
goes for running the countrys fiscal
affairs, and only thirteen cents is
spent on social aids and subsidies, all
of which are intended to promote hui
man well-being.
Seventy-twO cents out of the tax
dollar for war, and thirteen cents for
improving the lot of mankind!
This, in country that loathes war
and loves peace, presents a powerful
sermon against the folly and waste of
war.
No wonder the president, surveying
the situation, has told congress that
the time has come to study how to
reduce the cost of preparing for war;

1.-The Secretary's statement is one
of the most remarkable that l have
ever heard.
THAT such appalling conditions
should exist discloses fundamental
evils in our social order.
1--WE have representative form of
government in which the final court
of appeal should be to the sense of
justice of the majority of our citizens.
THAT such things cam be, without
the power or the will to remedy them,

public conscience or of the control of
cur society by the forces of greed"
Yes, we want the East in shape
SO as to be able to buy our farm
products but would the above indicate
that they are in such shape? The
trouble is that the high tariff wall for
industry has been making too many
and the workers, be they
on the farm or in the factory, have
been getting too little of the benefit.
A tariff wall that will provide good
wages in the factory and an American
standard of living amongst the work
ers, also a good return to the owners
and managers of the plants, may be
very good, but when it goes way be-
yond that and creates great wealth
in the hands of the few it is not &C
good for the country as
q whole.

toxin that will combat the disease,
prevention is safer and easier than
a cure. People should avoid exposure
and keep warmly clothed. They should
get plenty of fresh air both day and
night; they should not neglect little
colds.
1t is foolish to trifle with the flu.
If one feels it coming on the safest
plan is to get into bed and call the
doctor Then follow the doctors in
structiOns and stay in bed until the
flu is gone.
If medical science succeeds in de-
velOping an antidOte for flu, it will
be shOrn of its terrors, and an attack
of it will not be so serious or of such
long duration. Until that time it is
wise to be careful.

A THRILL AT THE SOUTH POLE
Duluth Herald)

Duluth Herald)
}: JSpuary sixth. 1912, on his way
back from his daring dash to the
South Pole, Amundsen built a eairn
and plt into it: tin box containing
d note. aS we'll as package of match
es and ffve-gallon tin of kerosene.
December twenty-sixth, 1929. al
most eighteen years later, members
of the Byrd polar expedition found
and opened that cairn, read and copied
Amundsen's note. put in a note about
their own expedition, and sealed up
the cairn again.
That was a marvellous thing, and
it gave the Byrd expedition a great
thrill.
But much more marvellous thing
is that within few hours the readers
of the Herald were sharing that thrill.
Where anything that happened to
Amundsen eighteen years ago had to
be told to the world when he came
out, this time the full news of it,
including the exact wording Of
Amundsen's note translated from Nor
wegian into English, was laid before
the readers of The Herald Saturday
night, within few hours of the open
ing of the cairn.
The valor of Amundsen and the
valor of Byrd are twins; but human
progress in breaking down the ma
terial limitations upon communica-
ton and transportation had wrought
a revolution between the time of
Amundsen's visit to the pole and the
time when Byrd ran across his trail.

APPLYING PRESSURE
(SiOuX City Tribune)


One of the greatest pressure cam
paigns ever conducted in this country
now is being operated in connection
with the effort to sustain and expand
the exploitation margins due to high
tariffs. Newspapers and business men
in various sections, especially in the
agricultural districts, are being asked
to sign high tariff statements pre-
pared by representatives of the tariff
barons. These alleged expressions of
the agricultural districts then will
be published in Washington newspa-
pers in an effort to intimidate and
stampede middle western senators
alton to the economic interests of
their own states.
The first blast in that line eman-
ated from Minneapolis, where east
ern old guardism has many active
lieutenants. In response to solicita-
ton from the headquarters group.
number of weekly newspapers in
Minnesota subscribed to a statement
carrying the high tariff arguments
of 40 years ago. This statement,
claiming to be 1.-The voice of the north
west" was published in a full page
advertisement in a Washington news
paper. 1t is said that other similar
statements are being prepared in
other agricultural newspapers.
Minnesota congressman presumably
know their own state conditions too
well to be stampeded by promoted pc
titions. The following paragraph
from the pressure statement is typical
of the ancient buncombe in the high
tariff, system:
I'VE want industrial labor to be
prosperous The workers of the in
dustrial centers are our best custom
ers. We want them to be employed,
busy and able to buy. Any consider
almost as quickly as it would effect
them"
If the promoters of that pressure
statement had a trace of sincerity
towards the economic interests of
their own state, they would have found
a much sounder basis in starting the
prosperity cycle from their own side.
By making agriculture prosperous, the
buying power of agriculture will be
greatlX>enhanced. That, in turn, will
create and maintain prosperity for the
general industrial system. The same
Minnesota interests now pleading for
industrial prosperity never have turn
ed hand, at any time, to promote
prosperity for agriculture or the agri-
cultural districts.
Following the enactment of the 1922
tariff act, careful estimates indicated
that the measure would add $4,000, 0O0,-
900 a year to the cost of living for
United States consumers. The bene-
ficiaries can well afford to spend huge
sums in an effort to retain these extra
margins and to expand them in spots,
if possible.
Ordinary analysis will show that
the tariff margins, diverting all of
the countrys wealth and energy to the
support of industrialism, have been
achieved largely at the expense of pro-
ducers and retail distributors.

ago by two officers of the club. Both
events extend through the month of
October and in both the battle for first
place Is certain to be keen.
The women'S event Is the tourney
for the John G.. Wineman Trophy,
donated to the club three or four years
ago by q former vice president. In this
event, as so frequently happens, one of
the competitors has turned in two good
gross scores, but Is far outside the win
ming list in the net event. The tourney
Is q 36-hole handicap event, with the
leading low net score for the distance
to win. Mrs. Perry B, Hoover, the
new club champion at Indian Spring,
had turned in cards Of 80 and So for
q gross total Of $50, but her handicap
Of 6 for the SO holes gives her net
total of 174, which is too high to win
the cup.
Mrs. G. Arthur Slater leads at present
in the Wineman Cup event, with cards
Of 90 and 95 for 36-hole gross total
OF 1sS. Her handicap Of IL each round,
however, gives her a total net OF 1874.
