NATIONAL LOTTERY

where can purchase ticket an
exalted ruler of Elks in California queried
whimsically when asked for his vote by
the Elks Magazine on this question:
Would you approve national lottery
conducted by the government, the pro-
ceeds to be used for a worthy purpose?"
AS was explained in The Citizen on
Tuesday, ~ per cent of the exalted rulers
of Elks in the United States, who replied
to the question, voted affirmatively. They
represented, the magazine said, 100000
members of the order.
For quarter of century, The Citizen
has been advocating national lottery.
Some persons, On the mention of lottery"
throw up their hands in horror, yet, in the
early days of the United States, hospitals,
colleges and other institutions were con-
structed by revenue received from con-
Quoting lotteries. Besides, roads were
paved and the debts of several states
were reduced or liquidated by lottery
money.
AS good many exalted rulers, in send
ing in their votes, stated. the profits from
a national lottery could be used to help
retire the public debt and to intensity the
fight against cancer, polio, tuberculosis,
juvenile delinquency, crippled children,
slum clearance and other worthy purposes.
tits gambling!" an objector may cry
out Of course, it's gambling, but gambling
goes on without the lottery and will con-
tinue even though it were established.
But it would be supervised gambling, and
the profits would be used to promote the
public good whereas the profits now go
to professional gamblers who are called
bankers" PROFESSIONALLY, national lot
terry would cut into the bankers profits
and divert them to the promotion of wor-
thy causes.
Finally, the lottery would decrease the
burden of taxation. which is we'll nigh
crushing to millions of Americans.

FEAR NEW DUST BOWL

High prices for wheat and cattle are
Leading many farmers in the Dust Bowl to
fear that they will have dusty, profitless
era when the next drought cycle comes
around
During World War high wheat prices
led to the planting of much marginal land.
In addition, some pasture land was broken
up for planting. When the dry years came;
there was plague of dust, which brought
ruin to the farmers in the decade of the
Thirties.
Reports from the Dust Bowl area are
that farmers are repeating the same pro-
cess. Land that is fertile in wet weather,
is being planted in wheat, with "sOd
busting" underway on large scale this
year Raw range land is being broken for
wheat and Dust Bowl farmers are Won
cycle arrives.
Reports from the area indicate that
some range land is being over-grazed,
with the result that it will add to the like
lihood of dust storms when the weather
is very dry. Some defense is irrigation
and reports from the area tell us that
some farmers are using underground
wells to take care of the drought period.
We hope that the plan works successfully,
on a large scale 1t has worked very we'll
with some farmers.
1t would be bad thing for farmers in
the Dust Bowl States to suffer again the
disaster that hit them in 1882 in the form
of dust storms. Many farmers failed to get
enough wheat for the next years planting
for almost ten years.

There are many honest people.
So many people are honest that
it is news when a person Is found
to be dishonest.
ANY kind of honesty is admir-
able. Even a person who Is non
est only because it's the best
policy" is entitled to- some cred
it for his honesty. But a person
who is honest for 'honesty'S sake,
is even more to be admired.
Such a man is A. II. RiSley oil
2l49 South Sherman Street. Den
yer, Colorado. In January. 1888
a Floridian temporarily in Lords
burg, New Mexico, sold a 1884
Ford car and retained a lien for
SITS due on the purchase price.
The person to whom the Flo
ridian sold the Ford absconded
and left the SITS lien unpaid. In
the summer OF 1888. Risley wired
the Floridian he was about to
trade for the Ford and that he
would send the SITS due him
when the transaction was com
pleted. The Floridian wired Ris-
ley that he would be glad 10
accept SIPS in full payment of
his SITS lien.
For nine years nothing more
was heard from Risley. On June
2. l947. Risley wrote the Flori-
dian that in looking through
some old files he was reminded
that the SIPS had not been sent
