Editor Times-A recent letter by a
subscriber states that he is entirely
pleased with the aid profered by
the trustee of Center township, that
he and seven others planted a tree
not bigger than your knee" in four
hours. It's not the work, however.
The primary problem is feeding the
families.
If sufficient groceries are pro-
vided, the men are only too glad to
do the work. The county has the
privilege of furnishing 1t. But we
can not forget that the families
must have q weekly, not weakly,
supply Of groceries, whether the
work Is there or not.

The Lesson of HISTORY

T THINK few will contend that
L the G. A. r. made for purity
and courage in American politics,
and now the legion threatens to
take over the same sort of function
as a bloc existing largely on the
ground of personal self-interest.
Government by a group, even
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1932-04-12

fair to say that in most of its Off
cial and semi-official functions the
organization of veterans has been
far from healthy factor in our
national life.
To a considerable extent the
legion has taken on klanlike COM
plexion, and in various parts of the
United States posts have served as
extralegal agencies for the batting
of radicals and liberals and fragrant
interference with the right of free
speech.

is no war now, but how about the
next one?
And this is good. Mr.. Hoover ask
ing us to buy automobiles. He is
supposed to be an intellectual man.
I would really like to know if he
knows people are starving to death.
Well, I lost my vote last election,
but I'm going to the polls again, and
the men who are against bootleg
gers, grafters and martial law for
poor people who have to work for a
living are going to get my vote.
Give us more men like AL Smith
and Jimmy Walker. They know
people like their beer. They do, too,
and admit it. We want men who are
square shooters, not straddlers.
Keep up the good work, Times.
I'm for you. MRS. L. E. T.
Editor Times-We wonder why
the city pays men As cents an hour
for eight hours work every day,
every week, and then lets us work
two days a week for about $3.50
worth of groceries. Why don't they
change it around, week about, give
them a basket every other week and
give US a chance to get some money.
With the basket of groceries and
two weeks rent from the Welfare
we can manage, but where shall we
live the other two weeks, and how
are we to get clothes for our chill
dren?
Why can't they change some Of
the items in the baskets? We don't
want apple butter, beans, -four,
syrup every day. We want green
vegetables, a can of corn, peas,
fruit, something our children can
eat. If there is illness in the fam
lily, they can't eat the same diet all
the time. It isn't unreasonable to
ask for a change. We work for it
and deserve it.

article compares his now peace
full profession with that OF the
conditions of the country in the

that the business world is IN Its

of lack of leadership. He rightly
feels that the army has high de-

he administers it as one complete

Justly earned satisfaction. In his

given the right to lead. He leads
by national authority. All things,
conspire to aid him. There is none
to interfere.

over in the industrial field he will
find everything in many respects
the exact opposite. He will find
thousands Of separate businesses,

tails. His perturbed soul cries out

Finish Arguments in
Youths Murder Trial

Valley City, N. D., June ll.-R-
Final arguments for the prosecution
were completed by States Attorney
Roy Ployhar in district court here
Saturday in the trial of Myron Ten
dick, Nome youth. charged with first
degree murder for the killing Of his
step father, Henry Ruud.
Judge p. G. Swenson was to In
struct the jury Saturday afternoon.
Ployhar asked the jury to disregard
a sympathy" plea Of defense counsel,
declaring that 1t was not question
of Ruud's character for the cause Of
the shooting, but whether Tendick
was justified in firing at his parent.
Ployhar told the jury that the. case
must be judged from the facts alone
and not for sympathy towards Ten
dick nor consideration of Ruud's
character.
c.. G. Bangert, defense counsel. In
summarizing the testimony of wit
nesses, dwelt on the evidence that
Ruud had been drinking, and claim
ed the boy had suffered sufficiently
for his deed. He made a plea that
the youth should not suffer for the
sins of the step-father."

TAXPAYER DEFENDS
INITIATED MEASURE
Harold 3. Nelson, Secretary Of
State Association. Ad-
dresses N. D. Bankers

Grand Forks. N. D., June 11.-(P-
The tax reduction program of the
state taxpayers association will place
with the people in each taxing dis
trict the responsibility for the amount
of local taxes, Harold B. Nelson. Rug
by, secretary of the association, told
North Dakota bankers at their annual
Friday.
Nelson's talk was the last Of Sc
RIGS Of discussions following the OPEN
ing Of the convention early in the
day. Friday night, association men,
bers and their ladies were entertained
at dance.
The convention was to end Satur-
day noon. following addresses by 10.
seph E. Chapman Of Minneapolis and
william G. Green of st. Paul and a
closing business session.
If the valuation of property is re-
duced one third. as has been pro-
posed. Nelson said. the people have
the right to vote to increase the levy
as much as 50 per cent.
That authority, he said. rests solely
with the voters in each district bu:
when the increase Is voted. 1t applies
to all property in the district alike
and would place the added tax on
railroad and utilities property the
same as other property in" the dis
trict.
1.-THE claim by opponents Of the
measure that railroads and utilities
would receive the principal benefit Is
not sustained by either the facts OF
the law" Nelson said. Farm land
constitutes 6ois per cent of the prop
erty In the state. railroads l4,z per
cent and all other corporate property
2 per cent"
The speaker also said the claim thai
adoption, Of the measure win cripple
school districts Is not sustained BY
the facts. He pointed out that the
only taxing districts that can possibly
be said to be adversely affected arr
those heretofore voting an increase IL
their levy limits.
