OLSON URGES LESS
POLITICS TO SPEED
STATEREL|EF WORK
Tells Auditors Road Program
Far Behind Due to LAM
gers Conviction

Valley City, N. D., Aug. 17-tP-An
appeal for greater cooperation with
the federal government in its relief
work and for less politics in relief
endeavors In this state was made by
Acting Gov. Ole Olson, in an address
before the state county auditors con-
vention here Thursday.
North Dakota already is two
months behind in its highway pro-
gram because of william Langer's
conviction" he declared. Because Of
the federal governments refusal to
turn over federal funds to the state
so long as Frank Vogel remained as
state highway commissioner"
This delay has been costly to citizens
Of North Dakota he maintained as
flow of federal money into the state
has stopped and many road projects
which would have offered employment
to hundreds have been held up. He
urged the auditors to return to their
counties, to obtain correct and accur-
ate figures, on amount OF relief needed
and he said that North Dakota would
do everything in its power to aid dis
tressed, though he maintained the
greatest amount of aid, due to unpaid
state taxes, must come from the fed
eral government.
Other speakers were Commissioner
Of Agriculture and Labor John HUSKY
who discussed old age pensions and E.
E. LaFrance. Of the state hail depart
ment.
William Felson, Pembina county
auditor, spoke on delinquent tax col
lections and John A. Gray, deputy
tax commissioner, discussed utility
company assessments and other tax
problems.
The visiting auditors held their an
nual banquet Thursday night and
will conclude the 3Oth annual meet
ing with election Of officers and ad-
ditional addresses Friday.

numerous ASPECTS
OF CROP RUIN FACE

Government Will Can One Sixth
Of Cattle, One Out OF
Every 10 Sheep
FOOD WILL GO TO NEEDY
Secretary Wallace Gears Ma.
chine to Meet Problem Of
Feed Stock

Washington, Aug. 17.-(P)-Ravages
# the drouth received new emphasis
Friday when 1t became apparent that
the United States will surrender all
it's wheat markets abroad In 1885.
Department of agriculture officials
acknowledged that the exports Of
America, which held q commanding
position since 1890. will total zero next
year. They were quick to add that
the United States expects to reclaim
its share Of world marts when the sit
uation returns to normal.
Crop curtailment, put into effect
before the drouth cracked down"
helped reduce the American farm sup
ply, but officials say the drouth would
have hit the farmer much harder II It
were not for the benefit payments re-
sulting from the AAA.
Other drouth aspects:
1. One-sixth Of Ill cattle in the
country and one out Of every ten
sheep will 60 into little tin cans to be
passed out by the government to the
needy next winter.
2. Secretary Wallace's suggestion
of an lever normal granary" seemed
likely to emerge as one prime result
Of the farm rehabilitation drive. It
would seek to equalize the supply over
years Of scarcity and abundance.
3. Rain, which almost reached
cloudburst proportions In some parts
Of the midwest Thursday will benefit
some later crops and renew some pas
lures, officials said. But on much Of
the land where the scourage Of aridity
hit hardest plants are burned beyond
redemption.
1. The effects Of the disaster Will
reverberate into next spring.
S. Secretary Wallace geared his
drouth machine to the expectation
that the chief problem is feeding AMI
mails.
6. Prices rose Thursday in Chicago
to a point at which packers costs were
the highest since 1880.
When the world wheat situation re-
turns to normal, officials hope Amer
lean can sell abroad about lbs. 000. 900
bushels year-somewhere between
10 and 20 per cent Of the total yield.
Some farm leaders fear the with
drawal from world markets, which be-
gan last year. might wreak much
damage II the country encountered
difficulty in getting back into the
trade later. Government men assure
them, however. that the world bust
ness goes to the lowest bidder. and
that the United States can get back
into the picture promptly when the
time comes.
Out Of 67,352,O0O cattle In the
country the government plans to buy
100000 and Of the 81 ,374, 900 sheep
and goats 1t will own 100000 before
winter Is over.
Purchases Of more than 5000. 900
head Of cattle already have jammed
stockyards and packing plants.

HISTORY TEACHING
REVISION IS URGED
Professor of Columbia U.
Favors Treating Causes
of Current Events.
Schools should devote more time to
the teaching Of Backgrounds and

Schools should devote more time to
the teaching Of backgrounds and
causes of current events than to long
past happenings in history, DR.. John
Dewey, emeritus professor of phi
losophy at Columbia University and
one of the leading figures in Ameri-
can education. declared in an address
last night at the annual banquet OF
the Education Association of the Dis
trict of Columbia at the Mayf1ower
Hotel.
DR.. Dewey's subject was 1.-The New
Political Order" He contended that
only through the substitution of a
spirit of cooperation for the spirit
of individual competition and the ac-
centing of reasons for present-day
happenings in every branch of school
life can modern youth be developed
into actively participating citizens in
the new political order.
Blending with DR.. Dewey's address,
were speeches by DR.. George F. Zook,
United States Commissioner of Educa-
ton, on "Our Economic Outlook" and
Miss Jessie Gray, president of the
National Education Association, on
Our New Social Order"
Acts Are Presented.
In addition, there was a program OF
cleverly presented acts in which re-
cent events in the public school sys-
tenn were satirized This program
was presented by group Of Marjorie
Webster School students, and its
targets included recent birth control
hearings, the visit of Mrs. Roosevelt
to the schools, and the insistence Of
educators to educate" everybody.
In his address, DR.. Dewey contended
that one of the chief difficulties with
the education Of the immediate past
and the present is that We have tried
too much to educate for the status quo
and too many boys and girls have
gone out from our schools and have
found no status quo to get into"
In the new political order" how
ever, DR.. Dewey insisted the schools
must educate for cooperation" The
schools, he said must undertake to
teach an understanding Of current
happenings and to develop a power TO
think. He did not advocate the in
PRODUCTION of any specific course" he
said, but believe every faculty of
the school should be used to develop
an understanding of modern life.
Must Offer Something New.
Commissioner Of Education Zook
said that today possession Of beau
tiful house rather the living Of a
beautiful life" is regarded as an at
tainment. Only by abandoning the
mere pursuit of money" in the in
dustrial leaders, he insisted, can the
problem of distribution Of wealth be
solved.
Miss Gray declared the schools,
faced with a new social order, must
offer something new, must give more
than mere social equality-they must
bring a new faith in democracy" In
preparing children for adult life, she
said, the schools must be free from
cultural malnutrition.
DR.. Harold E. Warner, president OF
the association, presided. Music was
provided by choral group of Central
High School students under direction
OF Mrs. J. w. Torbett.
