up. Political experience prepares the
country to expect that when public
affairs are little to the liking Of any
one and much to the disliking of
many.
Roosevelt's spread of victory seems
to be wide and conclusive. No one
element contributed outstandingly
to it. The Republicans had every
thing except their last ditch support
ers against them. Fair weather turn
ed foul on them and the Democrats
took the profit. Dissent and discon-
tent favored Roosevelt. Hoovers po-
litical enemies in his own party well
coHled the opportunity to turn to the
Democratic ticket.
-Four years ago Mr. Hoover had
triumph of this sort. Democrats
deserted their candidate. The south
broke through its political traditions.
Votes which the Republican ticket
: did not need were showered.. on it..
Influences which were alien to the
partyS history and purpose came in
to camp and, unfortunately, remain
ed there. Voting strength which the
ticket did not require became weak
ness which the administration did
not throw off.

That resolve among the many mil
lions who still have purchasing pow
err would assist greatly in business
recovery.
Whether the purchase is large or
small is not so essential; Just start
buying, is the material thing.
The presidential situation has been
settled. Those in authority tell us
that men are going back to their jobs
at the rate of 100000 a month. That
should lift some of the fear and
gloom.
Persons are not easily scared these
days on most things but there is
timidity in spending that prevents
business from hitting its stride.

kota'S electorate. He conducted a
strong, clean, personal campaign
That portion of the electorate which
had an opportunity to meet him
found him a kindly gentleman of the
old school. He refused to sink to the
level of cheap abuse and vulgar in
vective. Mr.. DePuy discussed issues
and presented program of action
sound, safe and necessary in this
emergency.
Unfortunately, the great majorities
given Roosevelt did not react to De-
Puy's political benefit as was the
case in other states where Democrats
were swept into power through the
momentum of Roosevelt's candidacy.
The I. v. A. organization, discour-
aged and embittered over the June
results, devoted it's own set-up almost
exclusively to the candidacy of Pres
ident Hoover. It's leaders patched up
a working agreement with LANCER
supporters not to be active for De-
Puy if, in return, the men supporting
the Bismarck attorney would aid the
Hoover campaign. The famous Hoov-
err announcement by o. E. Erickson
of Kidder was the result and the 1.
V. A. leaders who naturally would
have been shouting for DePuy and
working for him did nothing for the
Grafton candidate despite the fact
that his platform more nearly
squared with what they had urged
for years.
Those interested in federal pat
ronage among the Democrats were
inclined also to soft pedal DePuy on
the grounds that he had little chance
anyway, so why imperil Roosevelt's
chances. Some of the other candi-
dates, too, played rather lone hands
in which DePuy did not
figure as strongly as he might.
Be that as it may, little more
effort probably would have put De-
Puy over, but anyway. with the aeans
at hand, the Democrats put up a
very scrappy campaign. They were
rather out of practice because of a
fusion arrangement they had had for
years with the I. v. A. group.
Organization morale and disci-
pine naturally were lacking due to
years of political inaction.
The impressive totals piled up by
Roosevelt and DePuy should en-
courage the Democrats to perfect a
permanent party organization. It
will not be long before federal pa
tronage will fall their way and with
these sinews of war effectual work
can be done to put the Democrats
back again into the state political
picture.

lures are to be reassessed. Citizens
should organize now to see that q
good job Is done. Politics will seek
to keep valuations up so as to yield
revenue sufficient to meet the de-
mands of our de luxe government,
many frills Of which are still suck
ing dollars from an oyer-taxed public
with apparent indifference to all de-
mands for substantial reduction.
Certain city financing operations
covering city pavement have not
been above suspicion. Money that
should have been saved the taxpayers
in those transactions was not SAL
vaged.
The way to tax reduction has been
pointed out to state, county and city
officials. Many candidates for state
and county offices have protested
loudly on the hustings that they were
for tax reduction. 1t remains to be
seen whether their actions will bear
out their words.

Moratorium Defeated

AT two elections North Dakota vot-
ers defeated the vicious moratorium
legislation. This demonstrates to
creditors everywhere that the state
is not seeking to play unfairly with
them but accepts all obligations as
Immediately binding.
There is no need for any moratori-
UNI Of legal nature. Bankers, mer-
chants and many other creditors
have virtually extended the benefits
OF a moratorium to those unable to
pay. Creditors have been, in many
instances, most lenient.
Instances there have been where
the state and federal governments
might have used better judgment in
handling rural credits. In a large
measure that situation has been ad-
justed and is now in process Of nego-
tiation which will make the pres
sure lighter until the depression lifts.
The tax situation calls for atten-
ton. If this is properly handled by
the next legislature, some of the de-
mand for statewide moratorium
will be diminished, Compromises
must be made and interest and
penalties adjusted. This means that
state, county and city budgets must
be slashed to the eere 50 that tax re-
lief may be immediate and material.
Not even coed start has been made
in this respect.
Unless the state board of equaliza-
ton is swayed more by politics than
by the economic situation that con-
grents the state. valuations on real
estate ana structures will be reduced.
In many counties present valuations
are those Of beom times. These
should be brought down to the cur
rent level of prices for taxation puF-
poses.
In Bismarck many buildings are
now assessed 80 or 10 per cent more
than they sre actually werth to give
revenue to the tax eaters and letters

Legislature or Referendum?

Legislature or Referendum?
North Dakotans evidently like to
legislate at the polls. Will it be a
battle between the ballot and the
legislature for the function of law
making?
At the recent election there were
some strange contradictions.
In Burleigh the county agent work,
which is generally supported by the
citizens of Bismarck, will continue,
and properly so. Laws providing for
proper publicity in tax matters were
eliminated on the rather speciouS
plea of economy. The voters sus-
tanned tax expenditure for county
work, but denied newspapers a rev.
enue which, for the most part, is paid
not out Of public expenditures at all
but by delinquent taxpayers.
The moratorium fortunately was
defeated. But on the same ballot
the voters refused to allow the farm
err to decide whether he wants to
give crop mortgage or not. To
curtail his credit in such matters is
an invasion Of his rights and meddle-
some interference in a private trans
action hardly in harmony with our
much vaunted personal liberty.
Those who voted against the mora
forum should logically have voted to
restore crop mortgages. This situa-
ton merely shows how confusion
reigns when once voters try to do at
the polls what can be done better in
the legislative halls.
The whole tendency is one that
should be checked by the next legis-
lature. More signers to referendum
and initiative petitions should be de-
manded to make it less easy for Or
ganized minorities to submit meas
ures Of very doubtful value.
Unless an intensive campaign had
been waged against the moratorium,
it would have passed. Needless ex-
pense was caused many people to
fight a measure most vicious in ma
ture.
The ease with which some Of the
other enactments, unopposed for the
most part, passed, should be a warn
ing to every citizen who has the well
fare Of the state at heart.
Unless legislative enactment makes
this lawmaking at the ballot box a
harder operation, many measures
favorable to few and against the
interests Of the many will plague the
state.

Fear CAMPAIGN a FIOn

Employers who were so foolish as
to threaten their help with loss of
jobs If they did not vote as told find
how Intellectual such a policy really
is.
Henry Ford is reported to have
sent the word out on how to vote, al
though he now denies it. Roosevelt
carried the precincts in which Ford
employees live. Such independence
was characteristic the nation over.
That threat worked in 1896. Vot-
ers are more enlightened now.

counts for the characteristic effects.
It is immaterial whether a smoker
"inhales" or not, though, of course,
inhaling the smoke exposes a greater
area of mucous membrane and hence
the drug is more quickly absorbed
and the effects more quickly felt.
There is no appreciable difference
in effect between so-called mild and
strong tobaccos or between so-called
light and dark. There is no satisfac-
tory evidence that so-called denico-
tinized tobacco or tobacco having a
low nicotine content is less injurious
to health than ordinary tobacco or
tobacco with high nicotine content.
