THAT JUNIOR COLLEGE
Bismarck, N. D.,
Sept. 6, 1882.
Editor, Tribune:
notice by the Tribune that spe-
cial school election has been called
and set for September 9Th. 1882, at
the general voting place designated
as the Memorial building. between
hours Of 8 a. m. and p. m. to vote
on the proposition shall the Board
of Education of Bismarck, Special
School District No. l, be authorized to
establish and maintain In connection
with the high school Of such district.
a department Of Junior college work
to consist of not more than two years
Of work beyond four-year high
school course?"
I believe that this proposition should
be defeated. We, as taxpayers. during
this depression should not be bur-
dened with more taxes at this time.
It Is Silly argument to say that the
establishment and maintenance Of Z
Junior college providing for q two
year course Of college work will not
increase our taxes and cause an addi-
tional burden to be imposed upon u.
First, you will have to have more
competent teachers to teach In the
college department than Is required
In the high school. These teachers or
professors are required to be Of q
higher type, and possess more tech
meal skill; and this calls for the In
stallation Of additional apparatus
and more class rooms.
Second Bismarck is now crowded
for high school room and has no
building, or sufficient class room
space at the present time for the es-
tablishment Of q two-year college
without the putting up Of an addition
al building to house same. It would
be useless and futile to. attempt to|
establish this college ct this time, 30
let us make no more expense 1T this
time but postpone 1t to some future
date, at least.
Third-Just why should the city Of
Bismarck provide . college education
for few who seek to impose this
proposition upon US? Our parents
sent US to the university, Agricultural
college, and our normal schools, and
why can't they do likewise, II they
wish their children to have this
higher education2 The city Is doing
well to furnish their children with .
flrst-class high school education. and

that should be sufficient during these
hard times. The state has provided
this higher education for all of them
free, and just why should we be asked
to duplicate the same at an addition
al expense in taxes? The most that
can be said for 1t, Is that 1t Is q selfish
proposition on the part Of the few
let US turn out in numbers and vote
1t down.
Fourth-The law or act under which
the authority Is given for the estab-
lishnent Is inadequate and does not
provide fully for the establishment Of
such a college. The school board is
not compelled to establish it even II
It should carry, as 1t seems to be OPP
tional with the Board anyway, and
that 1t has the final say in the mat
ter. Then what's the matter with our
school board, or Is some one else
running the schools OF this city. II
so 1t Is time we had q change.

CLAIMS PROHIBITION
FINES OVERBALANCE
ENFORCEMENT COST
Or. D. Myking Menus Addresses
200 Bismarck Persons
Sunday

Federal prohibition has resulted In
q balance In favor Of the government
Of 500, 000, 900 during the last II years,
Dr.. o. Myking Menus told 200 Bis
marck persons In lecture at the Bur-
leigh county courthouse Sunday after
noon.
The total cost OF enforcement has
been $28z, 000, 900, the speaker said,
while the federal government has col
lected. in fines and confiscated prop
erty, more than $584. 900 900.
DR.. Menus, head Of the social
science department of the state teach
ers college at Maryville, Mo-, spoke
here under the auspices Of the Bis
marck chapter Of Allied Citizens.
When prohibition was adopted as
federal law, DR.. Menus said. 80 states
had voted dry, 95 per cent Of the area
Of the United States was dry, and SO
per cent Of the nations people lived
in dry area.
In 1914. he said. only $4,000 men
were employed In the brewing indus
try, proving that bringing back the
breweries would be only drop In the
bucket In relieving unemployment"
Strikes AT Beer Proposal
"A million dollars invested in a
brewery will give employment to only
70 men," the sociologist said, while
like amount invested in other indus
tries will employ an average OF 318
men. II beer would bring back pros
perity, why Is it that the United
States has been called on to help Ger
many and England when these coun-
tries have their breweries running fun
blaSt?"
DR.. Menus said that big business
men like Henry Ford are strong for
prohibition because they know that
booze and modern industry do not
mix. Long before national prohibi-
ton was adopted" he continued. "the
railroads and other industrial con-
Germs had taken q firm stand against
use Of intoxicants by their employees"
The farmer would get no relief
from the return Of beer, DR.. Menus
claimed, because less than one per
cent Of the countrys grain was used
by the brewers before national pro-
hibition, according to the sworn tes-
timor1y Of Gustav Pabst Of Milwaukee,
when he represented the liquor In
terests In Washington"
The speaker declared that. accord
ing to Attorney General Mitchell,
only 20 per cent Of the revenue Of the
gangsters comes from liquor, the rest
coming from gambling and other vice.
Before going to prison. DR.. Menus
quoted the Chicago Tribune as saying,

municipality. Vienna, with ratio of
slightly more than 18 per cent, holds
fifth place, followed by Montreal with
ratio of somewhat in excess Of 81,
Budapest with 301a, Stockholm with
fractionally less than 1914. Oslo with
appreciably more than 4712 and Berlin
with somewhat under 4812.
Copenhagen is last with a ratio of
debt to municipality owned assets of
somewhat more than 5912 per cent
that is, the city is indebted to the ex-
tent of 1896 cents for every dollar it
owns, 1t, however, should be borne in
mind that, compared with the total re-
sources of the city, the ratio is sub
stantially below the above figure.
Statistics presented in this review
lead to the conclusion that the obliga-
tions of the municipalities mentioned,
with the exception Of Vienna and Buda-
pest, constitute fundamentally secure in
vestments, with the assurance that in
terest and principal will continue to
be met promptly.

FRUIT CROP
is LOWER IN GENERAL

1t is reported by Richard Ross, sta
tistician for the Maryland Crop Report
ing Service, that the fruit crop for
Maryland, except possibly for grapes.
is generally lower this year than last
and lower than the average for the
19l9-1928 period Grape production re-
Gently was estimated to be II per cent
of a normal crop and indicated yield
of 625, 900 tons, as compared with 67l,-
900 tons for 1881. Apple production,
however, took big slump and produc-
ton of this fruit is only about one
third of the 1881 crop. Pear production
is off about half of a normal crop and

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 26.-When
advertisers want to get their products
to customers they usually appeal to
women, as it is generally recognized
they hold the purse strings in this
country. Banks and trust companies
also have come to this conclusion, as
have many corporations, whose share
holders sometimes are SIS per cent wom-
en-. Even the brokers realize the power
of women in finance.
Despite all these facts, it Is generally
conceded that women, when they go
wish, can throw a monkey wrench into
complicated financial machinery with
far more ease than the average man.
One legal light for a corporation here
related that he Is having trouble with
a woman who insists upon making her
own financial rules.
1t seems that corporation with
number of subsidiaries received a pre-
ferred dividend from one of them only
to have the courts decide that such
dividend could not be paid because OF
the statute rules regarding the market
value of securities. AS the assets of
the subsidiary had been reduced by the
decline in market values of the securi-
ties held, the company was forbidden
to pay the preferred dividend.
1t so happened that large part OF
the stock was held by the parent COM
pany, SO it returned the dividend
promptly, as the courts had ordered.
Some of the stock, however, was out
standing in the hands of the public.
The biggest block was held by an aged
and wealthy woman who has ideas of
her own about finance. She got more
than $4,000 in preferred dividends as
a result of this payment to which the
court had objected. And now she tells
the officers of the subsidiary and the
parent company, as well as their legal
counsel. that ''it's just too bad, but I
have no intention of returning the $70,-
600. Anyway, spent it, so what are
you going to do about it?"

1t is recalled that the coal mines act

But against this contention stands
the argument of those investment
bankers, now supporting the present
program of decentralization, who con-
tend that the investment business is
unlike the grocery field, for example, in
that dealers In bonds must occupy a
closer and more human relationship to
their clients. An investment banker, in
their opinion, should serve primarily as
an investment counsel to the customer,
the theoretically perfect relationship
being similar to that Of q lawyer to
his client or doctor to his patient
Through independent local dealer firms,
they contend, this can best be accom-
