Election returns as they are be-
ing compiled officially reflect no
cause for resentment or reprisal on
the part of those who were elected
to positions of honor and great trust
in November.
Nor is there among any but one
state official any lust for revenge.
Eliminate one state Official and all
the rest realize that, after the cleo
ton is over. their only job is to serve
the state honestly without rancor or
malice.
One belligerent officer-elect, in
dignant probably because his election
majority did not mount as high as
his more favored associates on the
ballot. cannot by his indiscreet words
and threats indict the whole roster
of state officials. Many of them have
served this state for years. Their
record is an open book, marred
neither by radicalism, revenge or
reprisal.
Most Of the state understands the
situation. In the past the Nonpar-
tisan League has had to apply dis
cipline to over-ambitious members
who sought to ruin what they could
not rule AS an organization it has
in it's ranks some very good political
disciplinarians. Some preliminary
steps to curb the state official-elect
who would turn the League organ
ization into bear garden have been
taken.
Institutional towns which saw fit
to favor all but one Nonpartisan
League candidate with resounding
majorities are not going to be dis
eliminated against. Preliminary re-
ports show that members of the next
legislature are coming to Bismarck
with open minds. No one state Of
fetal will be powerful enough to
make them jump to hymn of hate
and reprisal.
In addition, the executive commit
tee of the Nonpartisan League is
composed Of three men who are Fair
and not radical. Chairman John
Nystul, Fargo, E. G.. Larson, Valley
City, and G. N. Lee, Dunn county,
have progressive tendencies but op-
pose in their own hearts any return
to the rabble-rousing tactics of those
SPELL binders who assaiIed the good
name Of such towns as Taylor and
Dickinson. Neither is Frank Vogel
a second A. c. Townley. This Hoover
federal job-holder cannot arraign
the farmer against the city or the
city against the farmer.
AS a member of the 1925 legislature
and later as candidate for lieutenant
governor, his leadership has met with
no marked success in the past. His
political record is too long and too
well known for him to qualify as a
Moses now.
With such men as Nystul, Lee and
Larson at the helm. the vogels and
others cannot scuttle the ship. If
they should become powerful enough
to throw these men overheard, then
the Nonpartisan League will return
to the tactics which discredited it
WREN such men as Townley, Walter
Thomas Mills, Hastings, and their
ilk sat in the saddle.
There are no surface indications
that such men as Senator Nye, Con-
gressmen Sinclair and Lemke, and
the whole roster OF state officials,
but one, are ready to commit political
hari kari by following the war cry
uttered by the two political extrem-
lists at Dickinson.

Not a Pretty Picture

North Dakota's tax picture has
been drawn wildly by State Tax
Commissioner liver A. Acker. 1t Is
not pretty picture but should Wis
ualize for all the great task of re-
trenchnent and economy that lies
ahead. The politicians will cry for
more tribute from the overburdened
taxpayers, but their demands should
fall on deaf ears if the legislature
about to assemble has the welfare of
the state at heart.
The nub Of the situation Is told In
p few brief statements. Combined
state and local tax has risen from
$l6.55 per person in 1910 to $47.4e In
1882. In the same period the states
population increased DOL per cent
while the total volume Of taxes in
creased 246.2 per cent.
Compared with North Dakota's in
come. our taxes are now greater than
ths people can bear. This state s

Strands of Hair.

Betty vanished into a closet and
returned with net cap which she
said Geraldine sometimes wore
after she had treated her hair.
Clinging to it were several strands
Of fine, brown hair which Thatcher
Colt removed with great care. In
the breast pocket Of his coat he
found an envelope into which he
dropped the hairs and then sealed
the flap. On the outside of the en-
velope, the Commissioner wrote in
his small, precise hand, Samples
Of the hair of Geraldine Foster"
Having tucked this in his pocket
he turned to closet door and
opened it, revealing clothes

"Was this her coat?" asked

There were no wall-flowers. Every

Geraldine Foster. a very at
tractive young reception clerk in
the Washington Square office of
DR.. Humphrey MaskeH, vanished
from her Morningside Heights
apartment on the night before
Christmas. Her room mate, Betty
Garfield, reported her disappear
ance to the police three days after
Christmas and appealed directly
to Police Commissioner Thatcher
Colt for aid. Betty held a phone
conversation with Geraldine on
Saturday. Christmas Eve, during
which the latter said she wished
she was dead. Betty tele-
phoned GeraIdine's mother and
learned she had not arrived for
the holiday. The missing girls
fance, Harry Armstrong. had not
seen her since Friday. DR.. MaskeH
says he returned to his office
Saturday afternoon to find Ger
aldine gone. Colt goes at once
to the Foster apartment. He dis
covers that Geraldine had quar-
relied with DR.. MaskeH. The miss
ing girPs parents arrive.

Betty handed him an amber comb
which Thatcher Colt looked at with
brief glance of Encouragement.
'Not a tiny strand of hair left

HAS she a used hair-net left lying
around?

(New York Times)
 In his speech of farewell to his California friends President Hoover spoke two words for the country, one for the Republican Party and none for himself He made plea and pledged his best efforts for unity and constructive action in order to promote recovery. By this he meant non-p partisan activity And after March 4 he declared, it will be the duty of Republicans to cooperate with oppon- ents in every sound measure for the restoration of prosperity. All this said in magnanimous and patriotic spirit Compared with it MT Hoover's exhortaton to the Republican Party not to be down-hearted, but to perfect it's organization down to the last precinct and to prepare for return to power" is of small consequence
 f Before March it will be essential for the two parties to work together The President will need Democratic help in Congress. On the other hand the Democrats will require approval by MT. Hoover before they deal effectively with the questions pressing for decision. What shall be done to in- crease the revenues and balance the budget? How can governmental expenditures be further reduced? These matters taken up in the last session of Congress when the political atmosphere heat ed that there could be little positive achievement. Let us hope that the of good feeling which seems to have been brought about at least tenn porary, by the Presidential election will extinguish the political controversies which all the Spring ragged in both Houses in Congress, so that they may settle down to a busineSs-like conduct of the Nations business.
 If there are to be sharp divisions over what is to be done in the short session about Prohibition, they will not be along party lines Should the war debts demand action by Congress Republicans will be found uniting with Democrats to do what may be necessary. Much will depend upon Governor Roose- vets response to the Presidents invitation to oeprate before the change of Administration But enough has already been said and done to give the country hope that both in Congress and outside it. the two political parties may pull strongly and all together in sincere purpose to help the Amer- can people out of its troubles

NICKEL BEER IS PROMISED.

Representatives of rty-five large American brew ing companies that now producing soft drinks recently met at Chicago and agreed that they could make PTS to 4 per cent. beer and pay tax of $6 a barrel to the Federal Government, and sell and distribute it to soft drink retailers that it might be sold for a nickel drink to the public They declared that this would put the gangsters out of business, for they could not market their taxless product for that price.
 George P McCabe, general counsel of the Asso- ciated Producers of Cereal Beverages said there would be profit in making beer for the public at five cents a glass after paying Government tax of S6 a barrel, and, he said, the 'hoodlum wouldn't be able to sell his graft encountered stuff even at the point of gun"
 McCabe estimates that at s6 barrel tax on beer the Government would get s39OOOOOOo year.

DEATH OF JAMES M. SPARKMAN.

The announcement of the death of James M. Sparkman, able business man, fine gentleman, former City Councilman and former County Com missioner at Seattle, pained many close friends Of the pioneer Seattle real estate and security dealer that live in the North. For many years MT Sparkman regular visitor to Southeast Alaska and Northern British Columbia He was interested in placer gold properties in the Atlin district where he and associates carried extensive hydraulic op- eratons which he visited annually He frequently spent few hours or days in Juaeau in passing tC and fro, and here elsewhere he made friends o all whom he met. Jim Sparkman was one of Seat- ties best citizens. He native of Missouri and stanch Democrat who was frequently elected to office in Republican Seattle and was never de- feated.
 Commenting on his death the Seattle Times ap- propriately said
 The sudden death of James M. Sparkman
 was sad shock to all Seattle It followed
 a day of his customary activity and caused
 grief for which his family and many friends
 were utterly unprepared. He was another of
 Seattle's older citizens; a tireess worker for
 the citys present and future welfare;
 persistent optimist, whose outlook upon life
 and it's problems brought cheer and courage
 to everyone with whom he came in con-
 tact

 In the meantime time for action comes near there is considerable opposition to immediate inde- pendence among the Filipnos themselves. They have begun to realize that free trade market in the United States is of great practical value to them They all favor the principle of independence, and like to look at it ultimate destiny, but it is conceded to have disadvantages when viewed at close range
 On the other hand those who really favor an independent Philippine Nation say that the prac- tcal phases must be met sometime and the sooner they are accepted and overcome the better it will be in the long run for the Filipino people

 At parting he had asked: What is your program?"

Want to Build.

There may not be another time in this genera ton. when building costs will be as low they are at present This is good time to build. To do so, will require confidence It takes just that, when all the world is talking depression, and re- trenchment is the order of the day. Yet this is a good time to build. It is in fact favorable time in which to make other investments. The com bination of nerve, cash and judgment should in time reap substantial profit.

OUTCOME TITLE BOUT NOT WELL RECEIVED
 BY SPORTING WORLD

Additional e tails concerning the decision given Sharkey over Schmeling, the champion, were heard over broadcasts last even ing, and were these:
 "Gunboat" Smith and one judge voted for Sharkey, not visa versa, as was reported. Schmeling's man. ager, Jacobs, stated to the press he knew two weeks ago the referee and boxing commissioners intend ed to steal the title, it at all pos sible; that he had previously made or intimated such might be the case. Jacobs was in a towering rage after the verdict was announced but blamed no one but himself for permitting the fight to go on after he had learned "Gunboat" was to be the referee. He tried to find out two weeks -ago if "Gunboat" was to referee but the New York boxing commission kept evading the question.
 Schmeling said he did not mind losing a fight to a man who had beaten him fairly and squarely but "how can a man whip you if he is running away all the time?"
 Practically every sports writer and newspaper in the city gave the decision to Schmeling by a wide margin.
