Gods sake don't name Steele as the

not un-make the millionaire" I also
stated that we, meaning the public,
had made the millionaire.
Judging from A Readers letter, he
IS of the opinion that millionaires are
made through highway robbery or
other nefariouS ways. Undoubtedly
there are many who have obtained
their money through fraud and trick
Iery, but by far the majority Of them
have obtained it through their busi-
ness ability. I bear no grudge against
the man who has made million dol
lars honestly. If I were capable I
too, would have q million.
Judging from the number of busi-
ness houses and the farms that are
IN ruins today one is safe in assuming
that they, during boom times. ex-
banded too fast and have thus come
to grief. Why were they expanding?
To make money?
millionaire let's take the case of
Henry Ford. He started in life with
no more money than the average
American boy of today.
Through his ability to invent he
brought about buggy that would
run under its own power. He painted
it bright red and regardless wheth-
er one could afford it or not, one
bought the little red wagon
John D. Rockefeller now enters the
picture. He furnishes the gas to run
our little wagon. And did we run
them?
Nothing compelled us to buy a car.
It is not necessity. There was no
reason why we had to skimp on gro
cerieS to buy gas, but we did.
Why blame either of the two above
named men? OF our own free will
we made them millionaires. There
was no reason in our going so far be-
yond our limit. If we had stayed
within our means and only bought
what we could pay for. we would have
10 quarrel with anyone today.
OF course cars were not the only
means Of spending our money. They
merely serve as an example.
II seems that "A Reader has
either mistaken my meaning or has
willfully misinterpreted 1t. In either
case he or she has wasted lot of
sarcasm. have no wish to un-make
the millionaire and I think any at

ment on them, through an exorbitant
income tax. is unfair.
No doubt politics could stand
thorough housekeeping and in time
it will come.
Having the courage Of my convic-
tons I do not hide behind a pseu-
donym.

Editor, Tribune:

a recent radio address we listened to-
and loud and long was the applause
given the speaker. So might a bench
man of King George III have spoken
when the angry colonists rebelled
against taxation without representa-
ton.
Can't you picture the gathering to

conditions as they are. Can't you see
the smiles that wreathed their faces
at these sentiments? The American
people are not communists or reds.
They are free, liberty loving people,
daring to lift their voices against in
justice and oppression. This speaker
would use the gag law to suppress
what he termed communism from
getting hold. He would abolish
free speech. free press and free as
semblage, the three great preogatives
of the pople. It IS such as he who
would make Of the great mass Of lib
erty-loving Americans q peasantry.
bereft Of faith and hope. It Is such
men. abetted and aided by special
privilege, who cause strife and dis
cord among the people.
Special privilege, entrenched be-
hind huge bags Of sordid gold, cares
nothing for the rights of the common
people. He has forgotten. If he ever
knew the words Of the constitution
which proudly proclaim that all men
are born free and equal. He can look
unmoved upon the sufferings Of the
unemployed. He hears their chill
dren's cry for sustenance and offers
them a stone. He looks pleased
when the farmer stands with his back
against the wall fighting for, not the
luxuries Of life, but bare miserable
existence.
And special privilege. ever ready to
call names, terms the people COM

them If they do not like things As
they are to go back where they came

States Treasurer"
No Cause to Boast
It is characteristic with the ad-
vocates of the prevailing capitals
tic system to boast Of the great
achievements and the high standard
of living developed under it, partic-
ularly in the United States. True,
we have accomplished wonderful
things. But not any more than
should be expected considering our
marvellous resources, perhaps. The
enormous credits Of this country
have warranted the great expendl-
lures. But surely no one would say
that the concentration Of all this
wealth In the hands Of or 8 per
cent of the entire population can be
q healthy economic condition. The
fact that the owners Of the con-.
trolling share Of our money have
withdrawn 1t from its legitimate
function, that Of promoting industry
In the nation, Is proof that too much
credit may have been extended.
When they paused to take checkup
they evidently began to doubt wheth-
er the people could ever pay the
obligations they had already incur
red, hence the sudden cutoff Of any
more credit.
Moratoriums are asked BY nations
and certain classes Of industry. such
as farming, as well as by individuals.

less he receives q profit on his prod

can Germany ever pay war repara-

Have We not then reached an i'm

things: cancellation or reputation Of
these huge debts on the one hand. or
ruthless enforcement Of collections
by the creditors through foreclosures
even by military seizure II necessary?
In either event 1t spells ruin to
somebody. It spells failure Of the
present system.
A Shot In the Arm
Is the Hoover two billion dollar
reconstruction measure the remedy?
Hardly. At best 1t would be only "a
shot in the ARM" temporary brac-
ing up of a system that is doomed
to die by reason Of too much loss of
blood already In the body economic.
If we agree that the cause Of our
ills Is excessive credit and attendant
interest, how can it be, cured by
more credit and interest? Yet that
is just what the reconstruction plan
means.
Primarily then, the only effective
remedy would be the abolition of in
terest or at least drastic reduction in
the rate Of interest to q level where
farming and manufacture
could make 1t pay on borrowed CAPT.
tai. That this has not been possible
heretofore, the ever increasing pyra-
miding Of debt, public and private,
is ample proof.
Also, since the chief taproot from
which our financial trouble grew is
to be found in the fact that the
great banks have been given the
privilege to issue all the country's
money, taking an iniquitous rake off
for themselves at the expense of the
people, this privilege must be taken
away from them and the issuance of
money restored to the government
where it belongs.
Reams, yea volumes, could be writ
ten (and are being written) on these
subjects. Right here must the relief
be sought. Under our form Of rep
resentative government the ballot is
our first aid. Are we going to use Il
wisely next election?

vt the expense of Bismarck and the
taxpayers of North Dakota.
Time and again the League Of Ma
tons has sent friendly warnings to
Japan to discontinue their war move
ments against China, but 50 far the
warnings have been disregarded. Time
and again the editors throughout the
state have limited to jamestown to
withdraw their petitions, but so far
nothing has been done.
The time has come when the
League of Nations is being forced to
arms to protect lives and property
at Shanghai. On the 18th day of
March the people of North Dakota
are being forced to arms to protect
the property of our state at Bismarck
and it is the duty of every voter to
Gee that this property is protected.
When we consider the movements
Of jamestown and Japan and II we
were to place the two upon the scale
Of justice, we would be surprised to
find that there is more justice in the
movements Of Japan than there is
in the movements of jamestown.
What will the harvest be for ia
Oan? What will it be for James,
town? Only time will tell
Whom Soever was responsible for
the insane asylum being located at
jamestown certainly must have had
an inspiration, for how could they
have known at that time that James,
Gown was in far more need of it than
any other city in the state?
When we consider this foolish capt.
tai removal idea we are fully con-
WINGED that what Jamestown needs
is not the capital but an addition to
that building on the hill, for we be-
lieve that there are far too many
who should be inmates still at large.
What will Jamestown want next? Is
it Fort Lincoln or will it be the Mis-
souri, river?
