Seeking the Credit

Meeting of the Democratic state
committee at Jamestown to discuss
the Missouri river diversion proposal
may be a pretty fair indication that
the proposition has a chance of being
realized as a part Of the industrial
control-public works bill.
There is no other explanation OF
this interest in the measure.
II it goes through, the Democratic
party in North Dakota wants to take
credit for 1t. They see 1t as big
asset in the next and subsequent
campaigns. If 1t fails no blame will
attach to them, for political COM
mittees are not expected to handle
matters OF this nature.
Seeking credit Is an old political
trick but one which is ardently prac-
ticed by all politicians, regardless of
the times. The Democrats, apparent
~, have enough faith that the pro-
ject will go through to want to put
themselves in line to take the credit
for 1t. And who knows but they will
have it coming. Despite the prospects
at the beginning of the special session
there is no indication that our con-
gressional delegation stands very
highly with the group which is going
to apportion and administer this
money.
If the Democrats of North Dakota
can make valid claim to causing the
expenditure OF large amount of
federal money In this state they will
have something to attract the at
tention of the voters.

Puzzling Those Russians

A cablegram sent to Jimmy Mat
tern in Russia by friends in his home
town of San Angelo, Tex, seems to
have caused Soviet officials at Mos
COW good deal of perfectly natural
bewilderment.
In itself, the message was simple
enough. 1t said, "Attaboy, Jimmy"
and it was signed, San Angelo" But
1t puzzled the serious commissars.
"Attaboy"-in what Russian Eng
lish dictionary will you find a defini-
ton of that cryptic word? And the
signature, San Angelo; what could
that mean, and why? Obviously, the
whole thing might be a code message
involving a deeply-hidden plot. cat
taboy Jimmy-San Angelo; interna-
tional secrets have been given away
in words less mysterious than those.
Soviet Russia's introduction to
American slang is probably a thing
that the Moscow officials will shake
their heads over for a long time.

Advice to the Married

In the ruling handed down recently
~ an advisory master in a New Jer-
sey divorce case there is little food
for thought which lot of married
folk might profitably ponder over.
A husband, in this case, sued for
divorce because his wife occasionally
caused him humiliation by drinking
more than was good for her. The ad-
visory master chosen by the court,
after pointing out that the wife had
reared a family for her husband, as
serted that the humiliation she caused
him, when weighed against the priv
ileges, joys and comforts Of the rest
Of his married life, made forebearance
q marital duty
There is little truth which every
happily married couple knows very
well. No two people can live together
for years without hurting one another
occasionally. Most married folk. how
ever, know something of the duty Of
forebearance. If they all did, the di-
vorce courts would do a lot less b,lsi-
ness.

an hour, say, the curtain comes

/ NEW
/ YORK
By PAUL HARRISON

New York, June 17.-probably the
most disgruntled man about Broad
way right now is Mr.. John Golden,
who has been having union trouble.
It was Mr.. Golden who produced the
excellent comedy called when La
dies Meet" sent it on tour after a
long run here, and brought it back
to the rialto for the summer at prices
ranging from Is cents to 81. This
last was widely hailed as q piece
of worthy enterprise, since it pro-
vided the customers with good stage
entertainment at movie rates and
promised employment for the cast
during the lean months.
To do all this, Mr.. Golden got
permission of Actors Equity Asso-
citation to pay stock company sal
aries, and of the stagehands' local
union to employ six men instead of
the fourteen previously used. The
show opened to good audiences and
seemed all set for a sdmmer-long
run.
But Mr.. Golden had not consulted
the International Alliance of Stage
Hands, which protects the interests
of the men who work the road shows.
This organization ruled that "When
Ladies Meet" was still technically a
road show, and that it must hire a
carpenter, an electrician and a
property man at salaries of 500 a
week, along with eleven other stage
hands at lesser salaries. This rule
could not be broken, said the ALI
ance, even if it meant the closing of
the show and the throwing out of
work of the six men who had been
handling the situation with ease. So
the show closed.

Specialists, All
It is by just such adamant stands
that the stage hands have become
much more powerfully organized
than the actors themselves. And the
latter are greatly resentful of this,
especially since most of them make
less money than the men who push
the scenery around.

Beer Vote Looms

If Governor LANCER carries out the
promise made to the advocates Of
the legalized sale of beer In this state,
we shall have a rather important
election in the not distant future.
The change proposed in the ini-
tiated petition unquestionably is a
desirable one. It is an open secret
that anyone who wants the new 80
beer can get it now. So far as ap-
pears on the surface, no attempt is
being made to stop its importation
and distribution in this state. Le-

In the Union, beer is banned in North
Dakota because Of a fanatical def
milton Of what constitutes intoxicat-

Those who want it and who are
getting it now, should have the OPP
portunity to get it legally and at a
lower price than is being charged at
present. The state and cities which
now are getting no revenue from this
traffic should have the right to exact
a reasonable tax, rather than have
North Dakota taxpayers paying Min
nesota levies.
