TAX TALK
Edgar l. Syverud
Secretary-Treasure
Sheridan County Taxpayers Assn.

With the recent organization of the
Sheridan County School Trustees AS
ISOLATION the matter Of school expen-
ditures is still a very lively issue. 1t
is the object of this new Association
to secure closer coordination in the
management of our many county
schools, to bring together the differ
ent school government expenditures
in order to cut down expenses, reduce
the debt burdens, and promote effic-
iency. With the schools taking two
thirds of the tax money such an As
ISOLATION is needed and will prove
very useful and economical. With the
election of MIR. P. L. Collins as Pres
ident, and Art Rehmer as Secretary,
a start has been made.
While our Taxpayers Association
is mainly interested in affecting &C.
onomy in school affairs 50 that taxes
might be reduced, there will be other
services for the new Association to
render. But at this particular time
the annual Budgets are the most i'm
portant to be considered, the planning
of the coming years expenditures.
Just recently a number of Districts
have reported an encouraging step in
the direction of economy, by making
big cuts in teachers salaries, by elm
mating small schools and making
arrangements with adjoining districts
for schooling Of their few pupils, and
in other ways affecting local con-
ditions. In the District No. % Of the
writer the teachers salary was re-
duced to $85 per month and possibly
to $75 in the case of a new teacher.
The budget for the coming year
shows a reduction of IL per cent. If
this cut could be maintained over the
county it would mean a cut Of ten
mills in the County school taxes.

Crop Conditions in
n. ". Improving

st. Paul-Crop conditions in
the spring wheat area of the
Northwest improevd measurably
in the past ten days, particularly
in Minnesota and eastern North
Dakota, the Farmers Union Week
ly crop report says.
present indications are for q far
better yield of wheat and other grains
in Minnesota and the Red River VAL
ley Of North Dakota than a year ago."
the review says. in western North
Dakota, particularly the northwest
third of the state and most Of eastern
Montana, there is only a small chance
for a good crop unless heavy rains
fall within a week.
"Drouth conditions have prevailed
in the Sanish, Stanley, Minot, Plaza,
Parshall, and Van Hook areas, with
only slight moisture relief. Moderate
ly cool weather has prevented the crop
from being seriously damaged. From
some points in western North Dakota

the eastern part Of the state.
"Around Wolf Point, Mont, condi-
tons IN ~unfavorable. High winds,
cut worms and drouth have combined
to reduce crop prospects. Pastures in
eastern Montana and western North
Dakota are poor. Stockmen will be
forced to ship cattle out Of that dist
let unless heavy rains come soon.
Wheat and other crops in central
and western Montana have improved
markedly as a result Of good rains
in the Great Falls, Lewistown, Hele-
ma. Miles City, Glendive, Billings. For
syth Lennup and Harlowton territor-
les. Because Of the ~lateness of mois-
ture, however, there has been a great
shift from wheat to forage crops. re-
sulting in a further wheat acreage
curtailment than had been anticipat-
ed.
"Corn acreage in Minnesota and the
Dakotasp romises to be considerably
larger than a year ago, with seeding
nearing completion except in the
northern areas where little corn is
produced.
"Grain and country elevator men in
eastern North Dakota, western Min
nesota and northern South Dakota
report a great deal Of Improvement
in wheat and feed grains. There have
been good rains in Grand Forks,
Griggs, Ramsey, Steele and Trail
counties. Prospects in most parts Of
the Red River Valley, both in North
Dakota and Minnesota, in southeast
ern North Dakota and most Of the
territory east of jamestown reports
fair to good crop conditions.
"Not only have grains been i'm
proved, but pastures in the eastern
part Of the spring wheat area have
been growing more rapidly and while
hardly normal, are much better than
they have been at any time this
year. Relief has been afforded to
livestock producers and dairy farm
ers.
"While the termination Of price
sterilization operations by the FEEDER
al Farm Board agency was disap-
pointing to many farmers, bins on
farm and in county elevators have
been cleared of holdings to a greater
extent than in many years.
"As a general rule, those who have
been holding wheat since last fall or
for two OF thre years shipped in their
holdings to take advantage of the
premium prices that were being
paid by the Grain Sterilization cor
poration."

PinchOt on Power

Those who still think that federal regulation OF
the power interests is unnecessary because Of regua
tons by some of the states, should study Governor
Clifford Pinchot's address to the French Lick con-
ference of Governors.
When that experienced Pennsylvania Governor
declared that the doctrine of states rights is as i'm
potent to settle this gigantic problem as commercial
slavery and political domination as our history has
proved it impotent to settle the problems of human
slavery" he stated what has been increasingly OBJ
yious for many years. But it has been too long
ignored by those seeking political preference.
No greater empire than that which now rules the
water and air of this and other countries ever has
been conceived. AS empires do 1t levies taxes. AS
empires do it imposes its will those less powerful
The vast organization which controls electric
power the essential factor Of industry and light the
essential element Of modern life; which extends its
sway over heat ard transportation, over communi-
cation and hroadcasting and talking pictures and
many other phases of everyday life attempts also to
control political life; and often succeeds.
1t knows no state boundaries, and no state utili-
ties commission can take its measure
Pinchot gives himself titanic task when he chal-
enges the utilities No knight battling fve-headed
fre-breathing dragon could promise such exciting
combat His is fight worth making and worthy of
encouragement of those for whom it is made

Wanted: A Dictator?

Strangely enough, the unreasoning fear and
hatred we feel toward those who advocate dictator
ship of the proletarat does not extend to those who
advocate other relationships for this country
If it did, Representative Eaton of New Jersey
would be beyond the pale today For he has expressed
the belief that the country would be better off if the
next session of congress could be omitted entirely
Eaton is Republican and the Republican national
committee is too optimistic these days about
the immediate political future The administrations
record in the last congress did nothing to increase
its popularity in the country.
Eaton also is a former employee of the General
Electric Company and has been an active supporter
OF electric utilities against those who sought to curb
them
So it is hardly surprising that he looks forward
with apprehension to congress which will number
among its members numerous gentlemen elected on
anti-utility platforms and very apt indeed to pass
the Norris Muscle Shoals bill and provide federal
ulation of holding companies
few of US still are interested in democracy.

An EXPANSIVE Field

WHEN We began electric re-
w search" DR.. Whitney said,
eve called ourselves the first re-
search laboratory in our industry.
Admittedly others had done re-
search and new engineering work.
but we knew Of no laboratory in in
dustry where random scientific re-
search was going on and whers
publication of results was inciden-
tally an aim.
Electricity offered a very expan-
sive field. It seemed well to COM
bine the studies of the pure science
with its applications. This becomes
at the same time work and play.
1--WE started to study scientifically
electric light. theoretically, it then
was perhaps 4 per cent efficient.
That is, if we could learn to trans
form electrical energy directly into
the ether vibrations of the so-called
visible spectrum only, we might
conserve SO per cent of our energy.
While we went to work at once
along the edges of the relevant
known facts, we did only some of
the obvious things, and so slowly
raised the efficiency of the light.
This was not so much by any
new conception of what light really
is, as by relatively simple, but
highly interesting and inquisitive
observations.
Fascinated by the spectral lines
and light efficiency Of mercury va
por, we attacked the various vapor
lamps.

Drugs, Prohibition and Crime

Prohibition Of alcohol is under wide attack by diff
ferent classes professions parties and sections Yet
almost no one thinks Of attacking the prohibition of
narcotics.
Indeed 1t is assumed that the ant-narcotc legisla
ton possesses something like the cosmic validity of
Ensteins Of relatively It is used by the prohibit
ZIONIST to push the anti-prohbitionist into logical
The former gets the latter agree that the
prohibition Of drugs by law is good thing. He then
invites the wet to show why it is not logical to apply
the same reasoning to alcohol.
Now Dr. Benjamin Karpman Of st. Elizabeth's
hospital in Washington comes out and attacks the
Harrison antinarcoc act vicious in its effects
than the eighteenth amendment and the Volstead and
Jones acts.
DR.. Karpman says that before passage of the Har-
rison act, when The administration of drugs left
to physicians and druggists drug addiction chiefly
individual matter It might demoraize the addict
but of drugs was not socalized practice There
no contagion about it. Medical advice as to taking
the drug also was available
Further drug addicts contributed far less than
their proportionate share to the criminal class The
effect Of the drug turned them away from crime and
there was no reason for shooting robbng or assault
ing anybody to get the drug wanted.
Then came the Harrison act What followedP
According to Dr. Karpman, the increase of every evil
directly and indirectly associated with the drug traffic
First, it INCREASED the number of addicts several
fold particularly a result of the spread Of the habit
in prisons through the work of the convicted addicts
Moreover, without medical advice accessible the pres
ent-day addict is likely to take overdoses of the drug
In the second place, it made criminals of the adj
diets; "The urge to have the drug is compelling
that the addict will stop at nothing to obtain it, he
will lie steal rob- and murder for the sake of obtain
ing a few grains"
1t has made crime in connection with obtaining
drugs a vast organized thing, Karpman says. The
tremendous intensity of the demand the reckessness
OF the addict and the great potential profits all
tribute logically to building up powerful drug rings
Drug addiction Karpman continues spreading like
wldf1re among convicts has increased the difficulty
of prison discipline 1t has encouraged the return OF
discharged convicts to life of crime. The prisoner
who has acquired the habit while in the pen has
double pressure on him to keep him a criminal.
Likewise the drug act has increased prostitution
The female will sell her body to get the drug
eagerly as the male addict will commit crime for the
same purpose.
If we may believe DR.. Karpman, then, the Harrison
act is as indeensble the Volstead act freely grant
ing the desirabilty of reducing drug addiction and
crimnality At any rate, his contentious worthy
of further study.

M. E. Tracy
SAYS

That Pinchot Can Get the
G. o. P. Presidential Non1i-
nation Is Very Doubtful,
but That He Would Make
Things Interesting Is
Certain.
NEW YORK. June s.-The re-
4 port that Governor Pinchot's
friends are sounding out western
sentiment on the possibility of run
ming him against President Hoover
for the Republican nomination in
1892 should cause no surprise.
The stage obviously is set for such
move, provided a sufficiently strong
leader can be found.
Millions of the rank and file are
ready to vote dissatisfaction with
the present administration.
Their attitude in this respect,
however, can not be described as
new.
The Republican party has been
split for twenty years. Opportunism
on the one hand and lack Of lead
ership on the other have held it
together.

HEALTH SERVICE
Many Persons Sensitive to Foods

produce the symptoms of food sem
sitivity.
Wheat products, chocolate, potato
and fish have been especially recog-
nized. Some babies are sensitive to
milk.
Other things which have been
particularly concerned are raw
meats, lobster, crawfish, shrimps,
muscles, oysters, kidney beans,
pruneS and many other similar sub
stances.
Apparently the most important
methods involved in the control of
these conditions are the certain
diagnosis made by careful tests and
the prevention through avoidance
Of the food substances involved.
The skin tests are simply scratches
on the skin on which d little of the
extract suspected is spread.
A positive reaction includes the
development of red spot. A mega
tive reaction simply means that the
scratch heals without any inflam-
nation.

previous restraints upon publications and not in free
dom from censure for criminal matter when pub
lished"
The same distinction between justified libel law
and an unconstitutional gag law drawn by Chief
Justice Hughes in his majority decision Monday in
validating the Minnesota statute:
For whatever wrong the appellant has committed
or may commit by his publications. the state appro-
priatey affords both public and private redress by its
libel laws AS has been noted the statute in question
does not deal with punishments; it provides for no
punishment, except in case of contempt for viola
ton of the courts order but for suppression and in
junction, that is for restraint upon publication"
Whatever its intent, the Minnesota gag law in
effect invitation to corrupt public officials to
intimidate and suppress permanently any newspaper
which might expose their corruption.
BY destroying that Unconstitutional law, the su-
preme court majority has helped to preserve free gov
ernment which rests on free press
