Less Opposition

Opposition to the sales tax is not
as militant as 1t was and the next
session Of congress doubtless will wit
ness a revival Of that form of taxa
ton.
In Mississippi many farmers have
been won over to this form of taxa
ton. It is easy to administer and
brings better results than the more
complicated nuisance taxes which
now beset the American people.
A recent convert to the sales tax is
Senator King of Utah. There prob
ably will be more when it is shown
that the present complicated scheme
to balance the federal budget will not
yield the revenue expected.
The sales tax is tried plan. 1t has
worked successfully In Canada and
this nation can benefit from the ex-
perience Of our northern neighbor.
Mistakes of Canada can be corrected
in our sales tax legislation.
Enactment Of a sales tax may be
too much to expect Of the lame duck
congress which convenes next Deem
Der. The effort, however, may be
worth trying and sales tax advocates
probably will seek this means of Sc
curing necessary revenue.

freedom for most Of the summer will
be wearing shoes again.
School officials, of course, are max
ing preparations for resumption Of
their work and it Is to be assumed
that every building in the city will
have been thoroughly overhauled for
use by Bismarck's young citizens.
In this refurbishing it is important
that the potential fire hazard which
exists in every school building be not
overlooked.
The Wachter, Roosevelt and Rich
holt schools in our public system are
assumed to be fairly fireproof. Yet
the only fire we have had in school
building in recent years occurred at
the Roosevelt school, most modern in
the group.
The William Moore and Will schools
are deserving Of special attention. The
former would offer an easy mark for
flames and, unless proper precautions
are taken, might easily become the
scene of a holocaust. To slightly
lesser extent the same thing holds
true of the Will school building and
Of the city high school.
The taxpayers are not in a mood
to build new structures now and are
unable to do so if they would. AS a
result we shall have to get along with
the facilities we have. But in doing
so every possible precaution to insure
the safety of pupils should be taken.
Competent persons should make
rigid inspection of every building to
determine how the fire danger may
be lessened. The school board should
regard it as a sacred duty to see that
their instructions are carried out to
the letter.
In the schools where the fire haz-
ard is particularly EVIDENT, bOth teach
ers and pupils should be given thor
ough instruction so that. if blaze
should occur, they would have the
best possible chance of getting out
safely.
The janitors in these schools should
be given special education on the
causes and danger of fires. Careless
ness on the part of janitors has led
in the past to some of the worst
school tragedies in history.
1t is not pleasant to think on the
darker side Of the school picture but
a little attention to it now may save
measureless grief later.

the eggs have developed into larvae
(maggots) which will become flies in
week or 10 days. If the flyblown
meat is thoroughly cooked it Is still
harmless food. But it would prob

A Fighting Speech
New York Tines

Apparently the chief aim of Gov
ernor Roosevelt at Columbus on
Saturday was to convince his party
and the country that he is prepared
to take the offensive in this cam
paign. His speech, at least the first
part of it, was bold and aggressive.
He at once carried the war into the
enemys camp. In direct and
dashing way he attacked the Re-
publican record during the past four
or five years, not emitting to ride
full tilt at President Hoover himself.
II the main design was to show that
Governor Roosevelt Is a real chip OF
the family block, and may be
counted upon to display the vigor and
audacity of a former New York Gov
ernor of the same name, 1t must be
admitted that the address was great
success. It will doubtless hearten
Democrats by making them believe
that they have a gallant national
leader who knows not fear. Even
Republicans can hardly refuse adni-
ration to the INFESTED knight In the
