I Economic Highlights .1 The most interesting news of the week comes fropi across the water. A great deal that is of tremendous international importance has hap pened in Europe. All Europe fears war, is preparing for it on the one hand while statesmen make long and empty speeches con cerning peace on the other. Main thorn in the side of most European powers is Germany—and today, when you speak of Germany, you speak of Hitler, the ironhanded dictator. Under the treaty of Versailles, most fought about document signed in this century, Germany is allowed no army that amounts to anything, is prohibited from making or obtaining offensive military weapons such as tanks, fight ing airplanes, big guns. It is an open secret that Germany, under Hitler, has successfully abrogated the treaty thru various dodges. For example, famous storm troops are supposedly a fraternal order, and do not tech nically come under the classification of an army. As a matter of fact, they are well-trained, well equipped, thoroughly disciplined fighting men. No man living has made a more spectacular rise than Hitler. Ten years ago he was in prison for start ing an abortive revolution against the republican German government of the time. Sentenced to a long term, he was pardoned, in the belief that he was small political fry, could do no harm. Today he is more powerful and more ruthless than even Mussolini and Stalin. His slightest word is law, and the faintest criticism of his pol icies is cause for arrest, concentration in one of the camps for political prisoners he has created in various parts of Germany—and possibly, ex ecution. Most European powers would give much to see the Hitler government collapse—the Nazi movement is gain ing ground ominously in other coun tries. And the rumor of late has been that the German people, traditionally independent and intelligent, are tiring of him. It is an unquestioned fact that he no longer enjoys the vast pop ularity he once did, and that groups are forming with the objective of elim inating him. It is an important sign of the trend that he is growing con stantly harsher in supressing oppos ing opinion—all dictators do that when their power is on the wane. Hitler’s answer to revolt came on Saturday, June 30, and Sunday, July 1. The answer can be expressed in one ominous word: Terrorism. Kurt Von Schleicher, once Chancellor of Germany, the position Hitler now holds, was shot with his wife. The charge was resisting arrest—but few will believe that. Other famous Ger mans were slaughtered or imprisoned. Innumerable ordinary German citizens who were on the anti-Hitler side, were killed. High officers in Hitler’s own ■torm troops met a like fate, because they were not zealous enough in sup porting him. The result is that Germany, at this writing, is on the verge of revolution —it’s a case in which anything can happen. And what happens may have much to do with deciding the future of the world, ami determine whether or not there is to be another great war. Until the German crisis is set tled one way or the other, lights will burn late in chancellories in all the great powers. Prohibition created many problems. ( Among them were growth of lawless- ] ness, an increase in drinking among many classes of society. Kepeal of prohibition was, according to the hope ful, expected to do away with the boot legger, lessen drinking of hard liquor. It hasn’t done that. According to observers, the bootlegger continues to supply close to half of the nation s liquor drinkers. And as reports from police departments show, drunkenness and allied misdemeanors are on the increase. The result is that conscientious “wets” are worried, are seeking to find a solution to the new problems that have come with repeal. They know that if present affairs continue, it is almost certain that the country will once more vote for national pro hibition. There is every reason to believe that, many persons who voted to repeal the 18th amendment, in the hope that it would end once and for all n grave national issue, would vote “dry” now. A few weeks ago North Dakota voted on the liquor question —and two voters out of three w’ere against legalizing the sale of liquor. Consequently, the liquor problem is up in the air, and both sides are get ting ready to do battle. One great trouble is the lack of uniformity in state laws—in one state there are commonwealth-owned liquor stores, while across the border bars run wide open. The Federal government has no jurisdiction over liquor, save in the matters of tax evasion and pro tecting dry states. Still another problem is presented by the quality of “repeal liquor.” Bond ed whiskey is exceedingly expensive— about seven dollars a quart. Most of the blends now on the market are a poor grade, many believe them to bo inferior to pre-repeal moonshine. The public has been skeptical, and has bought much less legal liquor than was anticipated.

A lady in this vicinity had the opportunity of talking to a Mrs. John son and family, of Cedar Rapids, la., Monday. The family were enroute to the national parks, and Mrs. Johnson says that the crops look better the farther west they go, and that our hay and pastures surely look good to them. Small grain is very poor, averaging about six bushels per acre, and is being cut with mowers. The Iowa corn is farther advanced than corn here but they are in the territory of the chinch bugs and farmers there plow a furrow around their corn fields and pour oil on the ridge. Post holes are dug every few feet. The bugs will not cross the oiled ridges and crawl along until they fall into these post holes, where they are destroyed. This system is excellent where the bugs havn’t reached the stage where they can fly. No way of disposing of those that can fly has been found. TAXES! TAXES! TAXES Congress has adjourned. But the eyes of the public are still turned on Washington. And most of them, fig uratively speaking, are fixed on the treasury building. The last Congress, like its prede cessor, was extraordinarily expensive. It appropriated billions, and the bud get, which has contained a wide gap between income and outgo for some time, is still further out of joint. In brief, legislative activities of recent months have done nothing to mitigate the tax problem—they have made it considerably more imposing than it was. It may be taken for granted that much of the money appropriated will serve one good purpose or another. Perhaps none of it will be wasted. That, at this time, is beside the point. We are reaching the stage where busi nesses and individuals can no longer pay heavier tax levies—and where many relief activities, because of their cost, are hampering, not forwarding, recovery. Government is precisely like an in dividual. Every citizen knows of use ful things he would like to buy. He can’t buy them because he hasn’t the money. It isn’t a case of what he wants to do—it is a case of what he can do with the means at his disposal. We have lost sight of that individ ualized idea of government spending —and states, counties and cities have been even worse offenders than the federal government itself. It is an unquestioned fact that investors are putting money into tax-free bonds, where it does nothing for the sake of industry, because of the fear that tax ation will continue to take most of the profit out of private business. Jobs are lost, factories are closed, homes and farms are foreclosed, industrial development is brought abruptly to a halt—because of high taxes. These are facts, not hot air. Cost of government is our greatest and fastest growing problem. Excavation Shows Holt County Was Once The Home of Many Indians By J. B. O’Sullivan (Continued from last week.) Indian Agent Williamson estimated several hundred Pawnee were wounded. A shaft commemorating this bloody massacre stands on the spot today, put there by the government. The in scription on its plate reads: “Massacre Canyon battlefield memorial. Along this canyon the last battle between the Pawnee nation and Sioux nation was fought August 5, 1873. Principal chiefs were, Pawnee, Sky Chief, Sun Chief, Fighting Bear; Sioux: Spotted Tail, Little Wound, Two Strikes. Loss: Pawnee, 156 killed; Sioux, killed, 40. This monument erected by authority of Congress of the United States as a memorial to the frontier days and Indian wars now forever ended.” One wonders how' Pawnee children, wounded and dying on the desolate prairie, did so as meekly and silently as though they were taking a beauty nap. But there W'as a background of thousands of years of training, tradi It is a habit with us to think of the Indians particularly those of ancient times, as nine tenths animal and one tenth human. They were rather wild, but at that in many ways they had us cheated. They learned how to do many remarkable things and one of these was the filling of teeth with stone. About 9 months ago at a gravel pit about four miles north of Butte, Boyd county, those taking out gravel dis covered a burial ground that must be some thousands of years old, and from it unearthed part of a human skull, arrowheads, knives and scrap ers. In the skull were teeth and it was found the ancients had learned to bridge teeth. Caps of stone that fit perfectly on (Continued on page 4, column 5.) S.
