child in proper habits so far as con-
Germs the excretionS of the human
body. One Of the supervisors for the
Infant Welfare Society of Chicago
has recently developed series OF di-
rections for this purpose which are
practical and sound.
Most babies can learn such control
within the first two years of life. Many
will learn within six months. It
the baby fails to learn by the end OF
the third year, or, if the baby once
trained, relapses to infantile habits, it
requires special medical study AMI
perhaps psychologist examination to
find out just what is wrong.
The directions for the control Of

Observe the time at which the baby
usually soils his diaper. At that hour
the next day place a small vessel In
the lap and hold the baby on this.
letting him lie against the left arm.
Repeat this regularly each day at
the same time. The first week it may
be necessary to use q glycerin suppos-
tory to start the movement and to
direct the baby's attention to the rea-
son for being placed on the vessel.
BY the second week, the bowel
movement should be started by
the feeling of the vessel alone. Hold
the baby on the vessel five or 10 min
utes before using suppos!tory.
Never continue using a suppository
regularly for more than two weeks as
the baby may learn to depend upo'I

When the baby is old enough to SIT
alone. place him on a nursery chair
It may be necessary to use the sup
pository again for few days until ne

demanded Ben Lampman In sur

breathless, under the theater's
blazing portal.
Susan shook her head. She was
blushing. How was she to ex-
plain to him that this was the
first time she had ever gone any
where in the evening with young
man? She half started to speak,
then checked the impulse.
No, he would think her what
Rose Milton called "a DOPE" She
wouldn't tell him. Susan was
afraid Of ridicule.
Silently they walked past the
doorman in his white coat and
silver buttons. Silently they al

to show them to their seats. Su-
san, crushing past knees in the
darkness, wondered suddenly and
agonizingly why she had come. She
longed with all her heart to be
safe and quiet and solitary on
Aunt Jessie's front porch.

What the Situation Is

Editorials in the state press and
queries made at The Tribune office
relative to the policies Of the State
Capitol Commission indicate confu-
sion as to the part the city OF Bis
marck Is taking In connection with
the erection Of the new building.
The policies of the commission are
wholly within the hands Of men
named to the board by Governor
George Shafer. Bismarck has one
representative on the commission and
there, insofar as this city Is con-
cerned, its contact ends. Some crit
icism has been aimed at Bismarck for
not insisting upon more North Dakota
men being employed at the local
headquarters. One state editorial has
gone so far as to say that Bismarck
Is showing ingratitude for the fine
vote given 1t In the recent removal
fight by allowing Chicago employees to
secure all the jobs when many state
architects are suffering from long Pc
RODS Of unemployment.
This situation, II true, is not charge
able to Bismarck. Her citizens are
trying to cooperate in every way with
members OF the Capitol Commission
to speed up the building operations.
but as q city, Bismarck is powerless
to affect the policies of that board or
to correct real or fancied grievances.
AS for the materials to be used ir
the construction Of the building. the
law specifically requires that where
possible North Dakota products shall
be utilized. OF course the extent OF
their use Is matter clearly for the
discretion of the Capitol Commission:
and an affair over which Bismarck
citizens have no conrtol.
Capitol construction Is a state job
and the whole venture Is being man
aged by agencies beyond the civic
control of Bismarck. It is unfair to
blame Bismarck for anything that
might trauspire In the building nego-
tiations.
In fairness to the Capitol Commits
sion, it must be said, whatever their
action on materials or the employ
1nent OF men to carry forth the exc
cution Of this project, somebody's toes
will be stepped on and not every one
will be satisfied. Nothing can be
gained through destructive. captious
criticism. The main objective is to
get the building erected, and state de-
partments relieved from present
handicaps. The urgency Of the sit
uation may be responsible for some Of
the acts criticized.
The commission is charged with a
very important task. This building Is
to stand for ages. Politics and per-
sonal interests should be reiegated to
the background. Wherever feasible,
North Dakota products and North Da-
kotans should be favored. That is
self evident and only fair.
Probably clear frank statement Of
the situation from members Of the
Capitol Commission will forestall more
criticism and prevent an accumulation
Of misunderstanding on the part o:
the public and the press of the state

Excise the Sales Tax

A. +ho house If representatives meets today to
e+ +be decisive battle on the sales tax, its rank
and file should realize that the American people are
watching.
More than 500O0000 citizens have spoken through
their organizations in protest against the lmpertnent
proposal of party bosses to write an alien principle
into their revenue bill.
Organized farmers, organized labor organized con-
sumers. organized merchants are aroused and are
ororeirc the unorganized millions The crossroads
storekeeper. the man at the pillow, the worker with
dinner nail and the unemployed without one are
watching TO see whether their congressman will write
tax law that places new burdens upon wages, upon
trade revival upon the will to conquer depression
So far a militant majority of congressman has
beaten the Democratic and Republican party bosses
u, every skrnsh Now, to win these into camp, the
bosses undertake to sugar-coat the sales tax by
exemptions.
Today their proposal is to exempt from its pro-
visions foods, wearing apparel, farm implements
medicines and other items.
These exemptions, reducing the sales tax revenues
nv third are designed to wean away opponents and
make it appear that this proposal is not in fact
tax upon necessities of life.
Annarently the party leaders are willing to destroy
their sales tax as revenue raiser if only they may
in,nv the sales tax principle into the American fiscal
system And this is precisely what they should not
be permitted to do.
The house rank and file has series OF bril-
liant and popular victories. The Swing, La Guardia,
johnson and Ramseyer progressive amendments would
raise between $2OO0OOOOo and $SOO,0OOOOO, or one
third to one-half of the sales tax revenue estimate
The Ramseyer amendment, placing tax on big
estates would yield in few years most of the $780,
100000 now being asked of the general sales tax
With this big start in finding sales tax substitutes,
congress can balance the budget by addition of GER
tain luxury and excise mposs and by federal econ
omies.
In practice the sales tax is inefficient. In prin-
ciple it is unjust
Excise means "cut out" Congress should excise
this unsound and corroding sales tax principle
and for ALL
