Speaking of Power

At the present time practically every American COM
munity with 1000 or more population has electric serv-
ice, as have so per cent Of all villages Of between $50 and
1000.
In 1907 the total number Of customers Of the electric
industry totaled less than 100000; now there are TO-
100000 domestic consumers alone and 70 per cent OF
people live in electrically served homes.
There are over 200 household electric labor saving de-
vices, each performing a different service.
In 1902 an average of six pounds of fuel was needed to
produce one kilowatt-hour Of electricity; in 1929 the
average was about ITO pounds. In some new plants con-
sumption is now less than one pound per kilowatt-hour.
In industry, electricity has revolutioni0ed the earning
power and living conditions Of the worker. Great strides
are being made in railway identification, and $4,000
farms have been electrified In the past ten years.
In 1902 the light and power industry had an invest
ment In plant and equipment of about $504, 900 900. That
investment Is now estimated to be $l1, $50 ,O00,O00 BY
1910 it is said that this must be increased by $1l 500.
100000.
Electric rates have declined 80 per cent since 1918
and now half of the individual users of electricity receive
service for an average cost Of II cents each q day, and
the other half for five cents.

No Grievance Against Jamestown
Grand Forks Herald)

(Grand Forks Herald)
There is no occasion for the people of the state at
large to hold any grievance against the city of James
town or its people in general because Of the unwise move
ment for capital removal which originated in that city.
No matter from what fertile brain it sprang the scheme
was sprung suddenly, and doubtless it took many of the
jamestown people by surprise. Civic loyalty would impel
many to sign the petitions when the subject was plausi-
bly, presented, and the general recklessness of people in
signing petitions would account for many others. Lieut.
enant Governor Carr says that there are many James,
town people who do not approve of the movement, and he
Is familiar with local conditions. Even without his
statement. persons who have acquaintances in James,
town have been aware that many Of the substantial resi-
dents OF jamestown have disapproved of the effort that
has been made. 1t would be unfair and illogical to visit
upon q whole community the resentment which attaches
to the M-considered course Of a few individuals.
AS to the political motives which may have inspired
this movement and the local political antagonisms which
MI. Carr says exist, those may be left for the jamestown
people to settle for themselves. The state need not feel
any lively interest in them. Just now the jamestown
people who are really concerned for the reputation of
their city, and who wish to minimize the injury which
has undoubtedly been wrought by some Of their neigh
bors, can do no more useful thing than bring all their
influence to bear to bring about the withdrawal of the
removal petitions, which never should have been filed.

Mental Tests for Motorists

The Connecticut Yankees have devised = mental test
for motorists and put it into their state law code. This
may prove to be just another wooden nutmeg" but
the experiment is we'll worth watching. The Connect
cut test includes 100 questions that were drafted with
the help Of Yale university. Following are a few samples
Of the questions asked:
What in your opinion is a reasonable aver
age speed for driving under the following condi-
tons: % In open country when traffic Is
light? co In open country when traffic Is
heavy? CD In city streets during business hours?
"a In city streets outside Of business hours?
90 Going around a blind corner? 60 Passing
a country school when there are children play
ing? CD Crossing a road intersection in open
country? 90 Driving down a long steep wind
ing hill in the country 90 Driving on a slip
perry pavement"
The driver will be asked why he should drive slowly
through a busy intersection. II he answers, Because
it's the law" or Because a cop may be Watching" he
will be spotted as a poor hand at reasoning things out
for himself, but if he answers that such intersections are
dangerous, it will be one score toward proving that he
has a working mind.

Burke Awarded to Michigan
washington Starr

washington STAR
Fred Burke the most wanted man in America, has
been awarded by the state of Missouri to the state Of
Michigan and transported to the latter for trial for
murder. From the moment of his capture in q little
Missouri hamlet claims for this desperate began to pour
in upon the authorities of that state. Within the first
dozen hours no less than eight had expressed a willing
ness, even an anxiety, each to take him over for trial
Tor some atrociouS crime committed there. Before the
matter was settled by decision by the governor of Mis-
souri, in favor Of Michigan no less than 18 Jurisdictions
had found records OF offenses believed to have been COM
mitted by Burke.
This remarkable situation developed into a veritable
hearing before the governor of most of the cases against
Burke. Evidence was sketclled or indicated by represent
atives OF the rival claimants for the person of the fugi-
tive. Finally the governor decided that Michigan had
seemingly the strongest case against Burke, on the
charge OF the murder OF a policeman at the city of st.
Joseph. and signed the extradition in favor of that
commonwealth. Chicago urged strenuously that it be
elven the privilege OF trying Burke for the so-called
more evidence against him than has been disclosed or
indicated. The award to Michigan was made notwith-
standing. and yesterday Burke was whisked to that
state IN an armored motor Car, heavily guarded to pre-
vent either rescue Or Staying in revenge.
The award Of this criminal to Michigan assures that
Il he Il convicted there of the murder charged against
him he will not suffer tho death penalty, Michigan's
severest punishment for any form Of crime being i'm
prkonment Tor lie. Had he been turned over, to Illinois
for the Chicago murders and convicted he would. have
gone to the execution chamber. 1t is barely possible
that this difference In the laws Of the states was q factor
To inducing Governor Caufield to send him to Michigan.
i 1t were possible to do 80. it might be advantageous
to send Burke around on q circuit, for trial in each Of the
states which claimed his person; unless he should, per-
hAps upon conviction In Michigan, confess to the crimes
charged against him. A full statement Of his guilt would
solve some mysteries. He does not appear to be the type
o6 criminal who weakens and ~confesses. SO that unless
he Is brought to trial for the long string Of offenses now
laid against him these cases may never be definitely

Petitioning the Petitioners

Jamestown business men have come out fatty against
the capitol removal project launched last January fol-
lowing the destruction of the state house at Bismarck
There IS no hedging, no political tinge to their request
but q vigorous and emphatic demand upon the members OF
the petitioners committee to withdraw the petition
initiating a constitutional amendment to change the seat
of government from this city to Jamestown.
The sgners Of the petition are to be congratulated for
their action. Practically every businessman, many pro-
fessional men and In fact persons from all walks OF life
are represented in the list which The Tribune publishes
In todays issue.
almost soIdly against a movement started by a few
enthusiasts who, for the moment, were carried away
by what seemed to them a way to promote their COM
munity. Time and the second sober thought, SO salutary
in civic affairs, have convinced the great majority OF
jamestown citizens that the movement IS doomed to
defeat and, II the agitation continues, great and irrepara-
bic damage will be done to the thriving city Of Jamestown
with which Bismarck in the past has enjoyed the most
cordial social and business relations.
If this petition is successful in having the matter with
drawn, jamestown will resume her old place in the esteem
OF her many friends and n%eighbors.
1t is the first definite public action taken by the bust
ness men of that city to demonstrate to the rest Of the
state that there is no demand for capital removal from
any responsible forces within Jamestown. Unfortunate
delay in taking the action made public today put the
whole city under suspicion and. II persisted in, would
have added to the attitude of GOODNESS and distrust which
was directed against Jamestown.
It is fervently to be hoped. for Jamestowns sake and
that of the entire state, that the sponsors Of the petit
tions on file with the secretary Of state viii withdraw
them.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
GvSf

OySt
Question: L. B. asks: What can
be done to get rid Of a cyst '(the hard
kind) in front Of the right ear very
near the facial nerve. Have been adj
vised to have operation, but no"
Answer: An operation Of this kind
is usually a simple matter with no
danger attendant upon it. A hard
cyst in that location would be diff
cult to get rid of through any other
method except perhaps q long series
Of expensive electrical treatments.
Cysts in this location are so close to
the skin that the removal is quite
simple.
Vegetable Juices
Question: j. G. writes: "Please
state your experience with vegetable
juices instead of fruit juices to use
during a fast"
Answer: I have found no advan-
tage in Using vegetable juice during
the fast. . speak from experience,
having tried this method many times
IN different kinds of cases. At the
present time I consider tomato Juice
generally the best to use for a fast.
but the tomato is q fruit and not a
vegetable as many suppose.
Gargling
Question: r. F. asks: "Does salt
water injure the membranes of the
head if gargled for catarrh and will it
injure the hearing in any way or
cause the salt to adhere to the inside
Of the earS?"
Answer: Catarrh cannot be cured
by the gsrgling treatment, and there
is always danger of forcing some of
the solution into the eustachian tube
or even farther up into the ear.
