Cultural Lag

Cultural lag" Is new expression
that has crept into the news Of the
day recently. 1t really means failure
of the human being to move forward
at the same rate as changes in eco
nomic life, education, government, re-
ligion, art and science.
The Hoover research commission
has been engaged in observing social
trends and finds that Americas
greatest problem Is to catch up with
the machine. In other words, the
gears Of our social existence fail to
synchronize and instead Of meshing
smoothly there is grinding and dis
cord.
This commission does not agree
with the technocrats and fears no COL
lapse Of modern society or all early
plunge into chaos. But. like the tech
nocrats, members Of this fact finding
body stress the Importance OF inven-
ton.
These are days when plans are Of
fered for most social and economic
ills. There is plan for every thing
Helpers in plenty but little construc-
tive aid seems the order Of the day
Hoover,s commission of scientists
has been at work for three years. At
least 500 scientists elaborated on the |
report and the research cost $500 900.
It's members had a rowing commission ,
to delve generally and they have
brought to the surface mass of gen.
eralities. No remedies are prescribed.
The report is diagnostic in tone. Ma
jor findings as reported in the Chi
cago Tribune are as follows
Social invention keeps too far
behind mechanical invention.
Unless social invention is speed
ed up or mechanical invention
slowed down grave maladjust-
ments are bound to occur.
Economic planning is society's
great need. II
The governmental and economic
organizations are growing at L
rapid pace, while the church and
family have declined in social \
significance though not in human
values.
A policy is needed to bring to-
gether all the disjointed factors {
in social life SO that labor, indus
try, government, education, reli- >
gion, and science may travel along I
the same path at equal speed. S
Our standard Of living for the
very near future may decline be-
cause of low wages caused by un- /

A Harmonious Start

Political rumblings preliminary :
the organization of legislative ses
sion always promise more contention
than actually happens. A conciliator
attitude usually governs the situatio,
and that is what happened in tn,
Nonpartisan League caucus Monda,
evening.
Mrs. Minnie d. Craig has served il
several legislative sessions. She i
well versed in parliamentary law ane
popular with all factions. Holding
the distinction as the first woman tt
be named speaker Of North Dakota
legislature, her career will be watched
closely. Few if any women have eve,
been selected to this office. The ex.
pertinent of woman speaker pre-.
siding over such a body will be most
interesting.
Now that women have the fran
chise. electors have been accustomed
to seeing women in official places Fo:
years they have held county and state
offices in North Dakota. Several OF
them have been elected to the legis-
lature and have given excellent sery-
ice, too. With such solid backing as
the League has in the House, Mrs.
Craig,S Job should not be so arduous
She will be ably assisted on the floor
by Representative Herbert SWEET of
Kidder county. AS one of the floor
leaders in the last session, Mr. SWEET
did yeoman service. He helped to
build up q record for the League in
that session which laid at least the
foundation for the June and Novem-
Der victories OF his party.
He is better equipped now, after the
experience Of the last session. to do
constructive work as floor leader of
the majority. The technique will be
different. but leading a majority is
often harder work than blocking or
checking one. He will be pitted
against L. L. Twichell, who doubtless
Will be the minority whip 1t will be
a similar contest between the two
men with the odds this time in Mr..
SWEETS favor. AS minority leader. he
was always fair and courteous. It is
presumed that in position Of even
greater responsibility these cardinal
principles Of leadership will govern
his actions.
Important problems press for solu-
ton. There are only sixty days
Tor consideration of matters holding
deepest import. Judging from the
temper of the men elected to the leg
tslature, they are all here to work for
the best interests OF the state. There
are many experienced legislators in
both houses who feel that never in
the history Of the state have the
times called for wiser leadership and
constructive rather than destructive
tactics.
To this end both political factions
should cooperate. The campaign is
over and partisan politics can we'll be
placed in the discard until another
election.

GENERALLY
FIRM TONE

NEW YORK, Aug. 2 GN.S)-
Bonds were generally firm in
quiet dealings today, with selected
rails showing moderate strength.
Among the carrier leaders were
the Rock Island AIS A which
rallied 2 points to 80; Southern
Railway 612s up IL at 8O12; and
Illinois Central 434s up 3s at
655s.
United States Governments were
slightly higher, with gains Of 1872
each recorded in the Treasury IS,
Treasury As, and Liberty 1St 5AS.
Major foreign government loans
did better, with United Kingdom
51aS helped by the rise in sterling
and gaining 58 at 118. German
5las were up y at As and Japan
612s gained p to 8812.
Colorado Industrial SIS sagged

a very definite share of the re-
SpOnSibility for the present stu
alton rests upon the govern
ment itself. Federal charters
have been too freely issued.
Charters have been issued in
many of our fOrty-eight States
to persons without any banking
experience and with inadequate
capital.
GOVERNMENT LAXITIES HIT
Government agencies have
frequently been lax in their ex-
animation and supervision Of
the banks SO chartered.
"The overwhelming proper
tiOn of bank failures has taken
place among the group of banks
which were inadequately capi.
talized and SO small as to
afford no opportunity for the
development Of sound banking
experience"
Recognition of these factors
the commission believed, would
make it possible for a group OF
bankers with unblemished record
to cooperate with the government
and the Congress in bringing
about the needed reforms.

oats were ls to 3sc higher and rye

in domestic grain belts.
Liverpool wheat was 80 to Ad

early.
There was an accumulation Of
buying orders at the opening for

High Taxes Held
Code Threat

Excessive taxation, which
continues to INCREASE, may
prove a serious stumbling
block to the success of the
Administrations "BI Ianket
Code" says the Alexander
Hamilton Institute in its cur
rent bulletin.
Employment, says the in
stitute, depends upon an in
crease in purchasing power
which in turn depends upon
a greater increase in average
earnings per worker in prices,
and one of the factors which
is now causing this abnormal
spread between wages and
prices is excessively high
taxes.
