my opinion you will find it is the most COM
Portable Car you have ever driven.
Also you can't help but be impressed by
its extreme ease of handling. With the new
Automatic Clutch it is almost efortless to
drive. The Hydraulic Brakes make you safer
and surer.
But I am really publishing this advertising
to get you to go and SEE this car. After all,
seeing is believing, and like myself you never
would have believed it possible.
The New 1882 Plymouth is now being
shown for the first time by 10000 DeSoto,

Editor, Tribune:
The June 16 issue of your good pa

finger County Herald on the initia-
tive measures in this way, Vote No
and Let 1t Co." instructing the peo-
pie to vote against laws which may
be of some benefit to them. Farther
on in this same piece of scandal the
writer makes the statement that
through the initiative is not the
proper way in which our laws should
be enacted as We have representatives
by whom our laws are made.
Still he contradicts his own state
ments by saying it was too bad the
gasoline tax was not passed when
voted on at the presidential election
in March, law voted down both in
the last session and also last spring
by the voting constituency of the

CONVINCING ARGUMENT NOT
ENOUGH


Editor, Tribune
The reprint from the New York
Times: Mood of the Mid West" in
last Tuesdays Tribune, aptly shows
the mind of the great eastern centers
! toward agricultural conditions in this
part of the country Being a large
city daily, no doubt the Times is con-
sentative as well. But, when it says
that the ideas of the farmer as to
lettering his condition must not be
ridiculed, but dealt with with convinc-
ing argument, it doesn't appreciate
the attitude of the embattled farmer
Too long have SNUG, self-satisfied pol
iticianS and bankers attempted to sat-
isfy the farmers demand for justice
with convincing argument" Too
long has the farmer listened to them
and received nothing but platitudes
and empty promises. Too long has he
wallowed in the slough of despair
while others grew fat upon his labor
1t is time for the farmer to assert
himself and to demand his just por-
ton of what he produces.
The Times says it takes 1900 BUSH
els of wheat to pay the interest on
$4,000 mortgage, and in 1920 it only
took 240 bushels, yet 1t would satisfy
the farmer by telling him the credi-
tor must be saved at his expense. AS
long as it takes two dollars worth of
produce to pay back every dollar bor-
roWed, so long will this country have
depression. Put the farming business
back where it once was and other in
dustries will follow it. Are our poll
ticians too dumb to see and realize
this, or is it they just don't care?
There is lot of hullabaloo about
balancing the country's budget. How,
and when is the farmers budget 60
ing to be balanced?
1t makes the farmer hopping mad
to have bankers and other big-mon-
eyed men tell him he is so much bet
ter off than the man in the city out
of a job. To be sure, he gets enough
to eat, but when he tries selling his
produce he finds he is outside look
ing in. Who will dispute the fact that.
while groceries, machinery and other
necessities have lowered some in price,
they still are far above what they
should be, taking into consideration
the fact the farmer has lost almost if
not fully IS per cent of his income?
How far does a dollar go? How many
hides, cans Of cream, hogs, poultry
and other farm products does it take
to pay interest and taxes? And what
excuse is offered for the juggling 60
ing on in farm prices, while staples
vary but little in price once they en-
ter the market as finished products?
No, convincing argument will never
appeal to the farmer again. He smells
a "nigger" in the woodpile. and he is
going to smoke him. out. He Is either
going to receive q fair price for his
products or he is going to compel 9TH
ers to share his loss He Is no longer
going to shoulder the whole burden
and let his creditors and the big
moneyed interests profit to the tune
OF 100 per cent while he and his fam
lily 60 without the necessities Of life.
And, il the farmer In the Mid West
has raised kick enough to cause the
dust to be seen in New York, as this
article indicates, 1t only proves what
powerful fellow he Is when fully
aroused.

they have done?

in the constitution. See Sec. ia.

HOT FOR PROHIBITION

Editor, Tribune:
What is there to the claim that le-
CALLING the sale of liquor would help
the unemployment situation?
The statistical abstract of the U. S.
tells us that brewers employed 70
wage earners for every million dol
lars invested in the business, while
other industries on the average en-
ployed 318 wage earners. Anyone
knows that money used to support
brewers can't be used to support
other industries, and the above fig
ures show that other industries are
tour times as good employers in pro-
portion to investment as the brewers.
Then there is the retail end of the
business. 1t doesn't take as long to
serve a beer as to serve an ice cream
soda. In proportion to customers
the soda fountains are better
than liquor retailers. Every
person employed by liquor retailers
Will take jobs away from more than
one soda fountain employee.

The statistical department Of the

needed more and started on gasoline
However, this was not quite perfected
until the state government changed
hands in 1928 and they levied a one
cent gas tax on every gallon of gaso-
line that was shipped into the state
OF North Dakota for sale, to defray
the running expenses of the state.
See Sec. 2259a2, s. L. to 1918. I think
| that is about all that the state needed
Tor running it before the gasoline tax
law was enacted. I would like to
know from the state treasurer how
much this one-cent gasoline tax
amounts to. It would give me an
idea how much gasoline Tin gallons)
is sold in North Dakota. The oil COM
pany pays that one cent and charges
1T to the consumer. Then we pay
three cents motor vehicle fuel tax
and soon the U. S. will charge us one
cent, so we will pay five cents taxes
on gasoline. When they needed more
money they enacted law, 1927 ses-
sion laws, Chapter LOG, providing for
the sale of cigarettes and snuff and
other laws providing for an indirect
tax.
1t does not matter whether it is a
direct tax or an indirect tax, it is put
upon the public and we must pay it.
When I started my home I paid
$500 per one quarter section taxes
Now I am paying on some of my
land $4,000 per quarter. Did our fore
fathers mean when they enacted the
constitution that such land which the
state acquires by making loan (not
from school money! should be ex-
empted from taxation and those
taxes put upon those people who have
a home left? Those two major po-
litical parties in our great state which !
have been exchanging power between
themselves, have they done to others
as they wish to be done to them?
Can we trust them? How long can
We keep our homes at this rate of
,axation under present prices?

IT AM humbly grateful" Damrosch
resumed, that such a chance
came to me at my time of life. I do
not believe that any other musician
ever had a comparable opportunity.
Good music is becoming demo-
cratized. Every week I speak and
play to common people who now
know what Wagner, Brahms, MOI
art and Beethoven really mean.
Through the cultivation of their
minds and hearts, these listeners
are becoming aristocrats in the best
sense of the word"
1t was early morning when the
veteran conductor-composer sat for
his birthday picture and interview.
Outside, the city was scurrying to
its offices, but Damrosch, brisk,
ruddy-cheeked and smiling, was well
into his days work. Two telephones
on his unpretentious studio desk
tangled internationally.
Damrosch already had spent a
little time at his piano, arranging
a score. Every minute of his day
was scheduled for appointments,
broadcast, rehearsal.
He has a passion for p~unctuality,
ard reckons that he ever has been
late more than ten times in his
life.
LIS SEVENTEEN birthday will find
- Damrosch with three predom-
inant interests: his b~roadcasting, a
drive for a $500, 900 fund for the re-
lief of unemployed musicians, and
his campaign for presentation of
opera in English.
He has more than a humanitarian
interest in seeking to aid the jobleSs
of his profession, for he declares
that their restitution affects the
very structure of music itself.
In addition to sponsoring benefit
concerts, his committee has received
numerous contributions from music
lovers. One of these gifts was the
$4,000 birthday check presented to
Damrosch by the National Broad
casting Company.
