HOME Esp PATS"
ARE NATURAL
Love Thy Neighbor But Be
ware of Relatives Con-
cludes Prof. Hoche
FINDINGS OF STU UDY

Herlin.-You can't help hating
ueinbers of your family Such is
the scientific conclusion Of prof. A.
F. HOche of the University of Ror-
lin. who bases his findings on years
Of study Of case histories Of on
mites between relatives. The study
embraced various races and nation
alities.
Such enmities. he finds. are dis
posed to be more bitter ana per,
sistent than difficulties between
nonrelatives.
srotherly Hatred.
Most typical OF family hatred,
Professor Hoche finds, is i'll feeling
between brothers. He says:
1t began with Cain and Abel
and continues to this day in peas
ants cottages and in noblemen's s
castles. The bloody trail Of broth
er hatred, the worst kind of hatred
existing In the world, leads from
generation to generation.
Even Solomon's proverbial Wis
dom observing this existing condi-
ton concerned itself with the prob
lem: "A brother offended is harder
to be won than a strong city; and
their contentious are like the bars
of castle
And the hatreds of sisters are
not less tragic. An enemy's sword
may be deadly or not, but a sisters
pin prick will spoil a life. A hos
tile word from another member of
ones family is longer remembered
than the offenses of an enemy.
THE hatred for the father by the
son has been popularized by the
famous 'Oedipus Complex. We
knew long before Freud that father
and son are Representatives of two
generations fatally doomed to be
in contrast with each other, and
that in the resulting conflict the
mother frequently sides with the
son.
Fights Over Wills.
Nowhere is competition coupled
with envy and jealousy so fierce
and lasting as in the family. No
where are we so conscious of the
other fellows disturbing traits as
In the family. whose members arp
compelled to remain together a long
time and finally become so irritable
that a smile or a cough Is sufficient
TO release fits of rage. The hatredS
bred by disputes and quarrels over
wills and legacies are proverbial.
Such hatreds outlive generations.
The psychological reasons for
family hatreds, Professor Hoche ex-
plains. are both economic and so
cial. and date from primitive times,
as the tendencies to family hatredS
have been inherited by modern
man

Comparing the number Of persons

number Of soldier killed was approx

sons killed In automobile accidents In
the last Is years Is about 325. 900. We
look upon war with horror. Why not
look upon the automobile death toll
with even more horror. In war only
men are killed, but the automobile
makes no distinction between men,
women or children. Even in North
Dakota we had total Of l28 deaths
from automobile accidents last year.
Most accidents Cook said are pre-
ventable. Drivers trying to pass other

DIVERSION CAMP Align
Head Of Taxpayers Association
Says Government Owes
Money to State

Michigan, N. D., March 27.-P)-
Claiming that the federal government
owes North Dakota $25 ,000,0 900 out 0f
the original public works fund of $780,
600 900 allotted to this state. Of which
only 5000 900 was used. and that 1t
should be applied on the Garrison
dam and diversion project, G. F..
Lamb. president of the North Dakota
Taxpayers association, in letters to
keymen OF the 48 county taxpayers
units, Monday asked statewide sup
port on this issue.
He said taxpayers in townships,
cities, villages and counties turned
Gown applications for 1910 bond
loans from the federal government,
except in cases Of dire necessity. and
that in so doing they turned back
$25, 100000 to the federal government
which he said should now in turn be
applied on the Missouri river diversion
project and Garrison dam.
IF we make this claim good and
the project is granted, guarantee
you that it will save the people Of
our state another $25 OO0, 900 in taxes
by giving employment for five years
TO unemployed and the natural re-
action that the expenditure Of $685.
DOC 900 (the estimated cost Of the
project) will have on delinquent, cur
rent and increased state income tax
payments, Is the money flows back
TO families in every city, town and
township frcm the men out on prof.
ect." Lamb said.
Farmers Coming to Cities
He asserted that in the past few
years, due to drought. farmers have
left their farms and thronged into
the village or city where they sought
relief from the county, mourning adj
ditional expense to taxpayers for re-
lief of these destitute people. With
this project under way, taxes would
become less, due to relief expense no
longer needed, income tax payments
would become greater and general
TOW of money naturally augmented,
he said,
Had not the North Dakota Tax
payers association and It's AZ organ.
lied counties asked waving Of public
works 1910 bond loans for the purely
federal project, the Garrison dam and
the diversion project, feel sure that
the subdivisions Of our state would
have plunged into debt Of principal
end interest which would have
cqualed the bonded Indebtedness Of
Our state, when bonds representing
refinanced real estate loans have been
retired" Lamb said.
In advocating this SIS, DOT, 600 al.
location Of federal money on the d.
version project Lamb stressed the
need Of diversion.
Il am wondering what will happer
to North Dakota II we lose flood wa.
tiers Of the Missouri river. when the
life blood OF our soil is being sappet
twice as fast as 1t Is replenished. oul
ground water levels dropping below
reach Of farmers livestock. and on,
cities no longer have water for do
nestle use"
He urged county taxpayer units t
ect consistently 'as our great leader
has acted" BY brushing aside Ill OBJ
jections, from no matter what source
for the good Of mankind"
