WHO CAN ANSWER THIS?
Falkirk, N. D.,
March 81. 1892.

Editor, Tribune:
I have read with much interest the
articles in this part of the Tribune. In
fact it IS about the only interesting
thing now being printed.
The subject would like to see dis
cussed and opinions of different read
ers given is: Why does our state
game and fish commission spend so
much money in trying to preserve wild
life, even going SO far as to deny us
the privilege of hunting a few wild
ducks until it is time for them to fly
south, and then let the crows, the most
vicious enemy of all game and small
birds, increase in numbers as they
have the last few seasons?
It Is common knowledge that crows
destroy more nests of all species of
birds than any other vermin. A crow
will whip turkey hen from her nest
and destroy all eggs, to say nothing
OF ducks and smaller birds.
Why not pay a small bounty to the
boys and let them destroy this pest?
There is no use Of planting pleas
ants as long as there are thousands of
crows flying around.
What's the matter with the Walton
League? Or are they also blind to
the harm these crows do? Why not
have crow hunts?
Let's hear what others think, as
some drastic measure must be taken if
the crows are to be exterminated
There is absolutely no use to try to
preserve wild birds as long as crows
are allowed to prey about unmolested
SILENT READER.

while the before mentioned four 500
per month men spend at home, build
up the home community and New
York never enters their heads as a
place to send money to. Who was the
wise guy who said the worth Of a ma
ton was not determined by the at
tainment of its 1O-talent men, but
rather by the gradual rising to q
higher plane Of thought, action and
living by its hosts upon hosts Of one
talent men.
A salary of $l25 would stand
per cent cut-a salary of $50 a 10 per
cent cut and when you get to $500
or over cut them SO per cent-wow-
wow-hear them holler. Cant get
good men at that price," Now would
be heck Of good time to try-there
are lots of good men who will do
quite bit for $3.50 per month. Fact
of the matter is they will be better
fellows to try it for a while. They
will at least learn what small salary
means-and perhaps will not be so
dead anxious to cut the little fellow,
or to tax the little fellow, which is
the game now. Business Is mighty
blind that it don't step in and kill
that idea of the great buying public
taking such an diversified share Of the
burden-no wonder business IS para
lyzed.
Another matter that you hear COM
ment upon in every public place now.
IS the married woman whose husband
draws q good salary from public
funds, getting another perfectly good
salary from the same public funds.
Men, taking on their wives as helpers
in private business-O K with the
public-but 1t sure takes a whole of a
lot of nerve to do it on public funds.
The bla. bla in this ceases to be a
joke-why don't some taxpayers club
or something act on this so the prac-
tice will be stopped? You hear some
of these perfectly level-headed women
saying, well, there isn't anyone else
who can do my work in that office, +"
and they are so earnest In saying it
that you get the idea that they have
actually kidded themselves into be-
lieving it. Some of us middle-aged
bozos would like to see some Of those
same women tackle the jobs our
mothers did or, for instance our
thresholds - home doctor

A PLAN FOR FARM RELIEF
Wilton, N. D.,
April 4, 1882.

Editor, Tribune:
Many tell us that everything goes
by the law of supply and demand
but there are others who do not
see it that way.
The tariff was built up right In
the face of that law, just like
snow fence put up stops the natural
drifting of the snow.
Now it is poor rule that won't
work both ways. If others can
charge high price at home and sell
at much cheaper prices abroad why
can't we farmers do the same?
am writing here Of plan Of farm
relief which seems reasonable and
see pieces sent in by other farmers
along the same line.
Now one or two here and there will
not get anything done, so II those
reading this who are interested will
send me their name and address and
a stamp will make a list of all those
sending in their names and send q
copy of the list back to each one;
then you can find names and adj
dresses of others interested close by
and you would be able to bring it up
at farmers gatherings and perhaps
local organizations could be formed
and these would let each other local
organization know If anything were
done and perhaps state or larger
one could be formed from these. II
any locals were formed perhaps they
could send delegates to meet to-
gether at the time Of the state fair
in Fargo and plan further.
I believe congress has passed the
Sc postage rate so perhaps you better
send that much il you care to write.
I believe If the farmers could agree
on some plan and present 1t to con-
gress we would be more likely to get
action than II we first ask for help.
They say coffee Valuation wouldn't
work for Brazil nor rubber price fix
ing for England, but that Is no argu-
ment for they expected to reap from
their exports while what we need Is
fair price for what Is used In this
nation so we will be on the same basis
as other industries.
If we could get fair price for our
products we could buy the products Of
industry so we would be better off.
The storekeeper or dealer would be
better off. The manufacturer would
be better off and his employees would
be better off.
Now who would be worse off? The
grain gambler and the grain exporter,
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1932-04-11

but there are not 50 many Of them
Salaried people such - government
and state employees, would have to
lpay more for their supplies but they
would not be any worse off for II
things continue this way their SAL
aries will be cut anyway.
Probably also the Farm Board,
which would have to handle the sur
jplus, would have q small deficit, but
people could pay their taxes 50
there would not be the billion dollar
| deficit there Is now and It could be
met by nation on its feet while now
we have a large deficit with q nation
In poor shape financially.
believe the plan which would
work best would be something ON this
order:
Have the department Of agricul-
ture make an estimate of the amount
Of crop In summer, also estimate the
amount Of surplus on hand and de-
eide what part Of it would be needed
for domestic requirements.
Have representatives Of farmers,
agricultural colleges and perhaps
others, set the price for one year as
nearly as possible in line with other
prices, and perhaps with the consent
Of congress, this price to be for the
lper cent which Is used in this coun-
try.
Then have the farm board state the
price at which they would endeavor
to handle the surplus.
Suppose the domestic price was
81 so and surplus price 40c for wheat.
Then If you take q load Of 60 BUSH
els Of wheat to the elevator, rs per
cent is rated domestic and Is per
cent surplus, you would get $50 per
bushel for As bushels or $67.50, and
4Oc per bushel for Is bushels, or $500,
making $3.50 or an average price Of
$1.22, transactions between elevators
and mills, etc., to be carried out on
the same basis and the final buyer to
turn over the per cent Of surplus to
the order of the farm board.
This would be simple, workable
plan and easy Of administration, for
the Farm Board would only have to
keep track of the amount Of wheat
bought by the mills. There Is MOTH
ing that would teach us farmers to
cut down acreage like getting that
small price for the surplus.
So you see the supply and demand
people and we would be working to-
gether instead Of fighting.
Believe II wheat and cotton were
stabilized, livestock and most other
things would find their own adjust
ment.
This plan would not make any
more money but the laboring man
would work and eat and we could buy
and enjoy the products Of industry.
will send copy OF this to several
Of the larger papers Of the state and
perhaps they will print 1t. Would
also send copies to several interested
congressman.
Now perhaps you think you are too
busy putting in the crop to do any,
! thing, but I believe it is really as i'm
portant to try to get q fair price as
to put in the crop.
HUGH REDINGTON.
p. S.-The farm board could sell
what they could of the surplus on the
world market and what they couldn't
sell could be held for times Of great
calamities such as the Mississippi
flood, the drought in the south last
year and in the northwest this year
when supplies for both people and
stock were needed, the japanese
Earthquake, etc. The Red Cross would
probably be glad to act as distribu-
tors. HUGH REDINGTON.

AN INTERESTING LETTER
Bismarck, N. D.,
April Z. 1892.

Editor, Tribune:
The proposed movement to cut the
wages of all employees of the state,
should be given careful thought be-
fore being voted into effect. In re-
ducing the incomes Of the lower SAL
aried workers, business IS cutting its
own throat. This will be seen in
thinking Of the paying Of, say, 500
per month to one man. This wage
rents one house or apartment. 1t buys
one family dinner q day, buys and
runs one car, radio, icebox; pays for
gas and oil for one car. whereas, the
paying of 100 per month to four diff
ferent people in salaries. rents four

Editor, Tribune:
Enclosed find a clipping from tn
Killdeer Herald, a letter from Russi.
I would like to see it in print on tn
front page so that people can see ho'
lucky we are here yet, even If "
only get five cents for IL big hen
eggs and Is cents for a big pound {
butter and around so big cents for 6
pounds of wheat.
Yours very truly.
]. j. DAHLKE.
Editors Note: The Tribune is
sorry it cannot publish the letter
in question, since the Peoples
Forum is intended as place for
publication of our readers own
opinions and we cannot undertake
to publish all the data upon
which those opinions may be
based.
The letter in question was writ
ten to John Bohlender, farmer
living near Sawyer, and was or
iginally printed in the Minot In
dependent. A daughter OF Mr..
Bohlander said. according to the
story, that food and money sent
to their relatives in Russia never
have been received, since any,
thing of value is confiscated by
the authorities.
In order that readers OF The
Tribune may know the tenor of
the letter, however, we reprint the
following paragraphs:
I'VE are going through a hard
time and for this reason, can't
write all that I would wish to
write.
I'VE have nothing in the house
but a few potatoes. We haven't
seen any bread since Christmas,
and neither have we got any corn
meal-nothing to eat.
Every day during the month
of January my children went out
in the fields to hunt for corn,
which is sometime left scattered
about after the harvest. We had
to have it to keep from starving
to death. My children are always
frozen because they have no
clothes to wear. They still 60 out
in the fields and hunt for corn,
but there isn't any more to be
found.
Living is so terrible for us 1t
would be better if the dear Lord
would end our lives and would
take us away from this sorrowful
world.
I'VE had a lot of wheat, but ev-
erything was taken away -. And
why? =.
1.-The plan which was made is
now finished. 49,.
If we say anything about
bread, or tell them we need bread,
then the answer they give us is
go out in the field and hunt your
self some bread This is almost
impossible to stand any longer.
When we think of how we worked
hard all the year round and
now has to starve to death. You
can't possibly imagine what not
only us but the whole settlement
must go through in our suffer-
ings."
