Fifteen months after Mr.. Aune
and P. M. Ringdahl, young rail-
road men, came here from Zum-
brota to begin the business, G. G..
Thune bought out Mr.. RingdahPs
interest.
They located at the present
Second street site in 1891. In 1892
they opened a branch at Echo and
at the turn of the century they
established another store at Daw-
son.
A fire October %, 1903 wiped
out the stock and building, but a
new store was built and opened
in 1904.
October of 1926 brought an
other fire which ruined stock
but the firm came through. that
one, too.
Mr.. Thune died several years
ago and Mr.. Aune died in June
1887 while serving in the state
legislature at the close of life
devoted to community and state
service.
The present firm includes his
son, Harold S. Aune as head, his
daughter Irene as bookkeeper.
Employees appear to take as great
pride in the establishment as
those whose names, are associated
with it. Members of the sales staff
are M. c. Crosby and Leo Schmid.

The role of science in the evo-
luton of mankind is a question on
which even scientists disagree.
Some contend that sciences such
as psychiatry will some day be able
to control our minds and shape
our ends. Others disagree. Certain
ly there is no unanimity of opinion
on whether it would be wise for
the human race to submit wholly
to the ministrations of science.
Few, on the other hand, will dis
agree with the contention of scien-
lists that objective reasoning and
logical thinking must dominate such
emotions as hate, and fear, and
rage. if civilization is to continue
functioning.
One of the chief contributions OF
science to the evolution of human
thinking has been its ability to re-
duce generalities and half-truths TO
concrete statements of fact which
will stand up under the light oi
reasoning.

sor of physiology at the University

Other Editors Say
THEY'RE ALL ALIKE
(By VIM, Allen Whitel

Seven years ago we were busy defending
President Hoover from the charge that he did
not cause the depression. Today the Democratic
papers are busy defending President Roosevelt
from the charges that he caused the recession"
in business.
We were right and they right. Coolidge
not responsible for the Coolidge boom. Hoov-
er was not responsible for the Hoover depression.
Roosevelt not responsible for the Roosevelt
recovery nor is he responsible for the Roosevelt
recession.
The trade of the world moves in currents
deeper than any man can sound certainly
stronger than any man stem beckon.
America IS a part of the world. Commerce is
a planetary unit. 1t washes over tariff barriers,
and penetrates beyond the boundaries of nations.
So don't blame Roosevelt for the recession
and remember that he should not be sneered
at when he says recovery will come when we
prime the pump. Neither was Hoover to be
jeered at when he said prosperity was lust
around the corner Each was wrong when he
thought he right.
This is the time when the Democrats who were
making such a point against President Hoover
seven years ago should indulge in a little fast
ing and prayer Tor their sins Their chickens
coming home 20 roost and with their tail
feathers out And the sad tragedy Of it is that
Roosevelt, who not responsible for the re-
covery, is in no way responsible for the recession.

AIDED IN WILL

DEADWOOD, S. d. UP)-Pros-
pectorS of metallic ores are
benefactorS of one of the Strang-
renee county, where the testament
of the late Dr. A. T. RooS came up
before County Judge Harold j.
Shea.
The estate contains 40, 600
shares of stock in a feldspar COM
pany in the Southern Hills. After
a bequest of 5000 shares to Nor
man Reed, Rapid City, and an
other bequest to Grant Neigh
Rapid City, DR.. Roos directed that
the balance be paid by the eXecu-
tor, Hayes and Hayes of Dead
wood, at the rate of $500 to each
worthy prospector of non-metalliC
ores, in the Black Hills for the
promotion and development of
non-metallic properties"
Neigh, well known Black Hills
printer, died before the will was
filed.
DR.. Roos, who devoted his life
to mining, and served for many
years as secretary treasurer of the
Black Hills mining and industrial
association died without heirs OF
any near kin. The will was drawn
Jan. 81, 1881, at which time the
Feldspar shares were almost with
out value, and filed on Oct. IS
1887. In the interim they have be-
| come quite valuable.

Federal Gas Tax
And Road Funds

There is something out of balance
about California's federal gas tax and
federal road apportionment figures, as
revealed this week in a letter from {. ii.
Purcell, state highway engineer, to City
Engineer Philip W. knights of Ell Cen
trO
The one-cent federal gas tax yields
in excess of SIS 100000 a year in Cali
fornia alone. The federal government
has apportioned S7,500000 to the state
of California for highway projects IN
the 1899 fiscal year. The veriest tyro
at mathematics knows that S7,50O,O0O
(the amount apportioned by the federal
government to California for road build
ing and repair) is only half Of S15,OO0,-
O0O (the amount paid by California mo-
torists each year into the federal treas
ury)
The joker is that the federal govern
ment has instructed the state govern
ment not to submit any projects con-
templating expenditure of any part OF
the $7,500000 because the approprla-
tion may be called back by congress at
the suggestion Of the President. Only
if congress refuses to follow the eXecu-
tive recommendation will the S15OO,OOO
be available to California
1t seems only logical that cancella-
tion Of the appropriation or even any
extensive reduction, should give motor
lists good reason for demanding cancel
laton Of the federal gas tax.
