KEEP CREDIT LINES TIGHT.

The financial stringency" of last
autumn caused many merchants to
tighten up their credit lines, says the
Spokane Chronicle. Keep them
tight
Even now it is entirely too easy to
get into debt in Spokane Hundreds
of people in every ward in town dur
ing the last month have purchased
articles they did not need and could
not afford simply because they could
get credit. The "pay as you please"
habit is bad for the indivldual-.bad
for the COMMUNICATION bad for
the dealer who encourages people to
go in debt, so that he may gain a GUS
toner.
Hold the credit lines tighter-for
everybody's good.

Women Who Wear Well.

It Is astonishing how great a change a
few years of married life often make In
the appearance and disposition Of many
women. The freshness, the charm, the
brlliance vanish like the bloom from a
peach which is rudely handled. The
matron is only dim shadow, faint echo
OF the charming maiden. There are two
reasons for this change, ignorance and
neglect. Few young women appreciate
the shock to the system through the
change which comes with marriage and
motherhood. Many neglect to deal with
the unpleasant pelvic drains and weak
nesses which too often come with mar
rage and motherhood, not understanding
that this secret drain is robbing the cheek
Of its freshness and the form OF its
fairness.

LIVING ADVERTISEMENTS.

If the cities Of the north and east

will not be the fault of the enterpris-

send bevies OF fair representatives to
all parts of the world The selections
are made by voting contests usually
based upon popularity. Judging from
those We have seen, popular girls of

think the same way.

PENDETON SAVED MONEY.

There was perhaps more method
than madness in the action of the
Pendleton city council which a few
years ago imposed such a high IL
cense on a big circus that the entire
circus trust has been so deeply Of
Tended since then that none of their
shows have stopped here. And Pen
dleton has perhaps saved thousands
of dollars by this action of the coun-
ell.
The Post Falls Advance clearly
states the situation in the following
editorial on the circus at Spokane:
There are said to be big rakeoffs
in insurance frauds, railroad rebates
and political centers. but about the
incest rake-off announced this season
Is from Spokane, where Barnun's 3
show just showed what it could do
last Friday.
The attendance is said to have beeh
so great the immense tent could not
accommodate the crowd, and many
were turned away. The people SEEM
ed to be wild with eagerness to 'see
the elephant" fearing, doubtless, sit"
would escape to the hills and grand
opportunity lost.
Twenty thousand dollars is said to
have been carted out of the peoples
pockets and out of the country on
Barnum's special train, and at last
reports the elephant survived the
test.
Twenty thousand dollars to see a
circus Were the same contributors
called upon to make the same dona-
ton for good roads, a public library,
additional enducational facilities, or
for missionary work in the rural dis
tricts Of their own country, it is safe
t. say the amount would not be rails
ed!
Twenty thousand dollars! That was
the boast Of the show people. Times
are close, the panic is still on and al
ways will be as long as old Jumbo is
carted around on wheels, for people

Is 1T RIGHT OR WRONG?

The inconsisteneits of the male
sex that governs the country are Of
ten truly Illuminating.
A little while ago a woman in Chi
cago was arrested and fined for wear
ing trousers while she was earning
an honest living as a had carrier in
which useful service she found BIZ
furcated garments most convenient
On the other hand there is a new
ruling in the general department re-
lating to mail carriers in which it is
held that when women are employed
in that capacity they must wear trou-
sers.
Such arbitrary decisions in both in
stances, upon sober thinking, are un-
Just and unreasonable.

SILVER OUTLOOK

Silver now is lower than at any
other time since April, 1903, for about
the only demand for silver at present
is from Indian bazaars, for even
the Indian mints have ceased buying
the white metal since last years crop
failure. The banks of China have
been going short of silver, selling on
exchange, and the market may stiffen
when they have to meet deliveries.
Crop conditions in India are better
this year than last, and Germany may
resume the coinage of silver, so that
the future of the market is by no
means gloomy, though no immediate
change is expested. Spokane Chronicle

most prosperous States in the Union
are not the States possessing the
greatest natural resources, but
the States which have most en-
outraged the investment. of out
side capital. A mine may be rich
in gold but without money its owner
cannot buy machinery and without
machinery he cannot develop his prop
erty or employ wOrkmen.
An efficient train service means more
demand for butter, eggs, milk and
vegetables in the interior for city con-
sumption. An increased commerce
means the employment of more labor,
which in turn means the sale of more
food, the wearing of more clothes,
the building of more houses.
Five per cen money will bring such
things to pass. Eight per cen money
will choke off development.
The curious phase of this mortgage
tax matter is the fact that it has pro-
duced no revenue for the State be-
cause being prohibitive, no outside
capitalist has loaned any money in
Louisiana. Thus nobody has been
benefited and everybody has been
harmed.

Removal of Taxation on Mortgage
Loans will Encourage the En-
vestment of Foreign Capital
and the Development Of
The Country.

New Orleans.-In November next
the people of Louisiana will vote on a
co Institutional amendment exempting
real estate mortgage loans from tax
atom, and in the event this amend
ment is carried, fully SIS, 100000 of
fresh outside investment capital will
be poured into Louisiana within the
twelve months following. In the
opinion of students of financial con-
dftions the November election will
mark the real turning point in Louisi-
ana prosperity since the benefits to
be derived are SO huge that no one
doubts for q moment that the amend
ment will be carried by an overwhelm-
ing vote.
It is estimated that the double taxa
ton imposed by the mortgage tax has
kept at least 80, O00, 900 o year invest
ment capital out of Louisiana. to say
nothing of the restricted development.
unbuilt interurban trolly lines, I'M
built railroads and unconstructed
buildings.
On the eve of fine November election
several huge mortgage loans are pend
ing, all predicted upon the adoption
of the amendment. One of these
amounts to 81. 500, 600 on q modern sky
scrsper in New Orleans. Another a.
mounts to 81. 0OO, 900 on q hotel already
built with money borrowed at eight
per cent. Still another amounts to
q, 0O0, 900 on several thousand acres
Of land which the owners wish to de-
velop. In Southwest Louisiana an
electric railway project connecting
ing several important towns is held
up because a mortgage loan OF $780,
600 cannot be placed until the mort
gage tax is eliminated. A projected
electric line to connect New Orleans
and Baton Rouge and several mon
ster development projects in St. Tam
many parish are similarly held up
because the banks of New Orleans
haven't the money to finance them and
NO outsider will supply the money SO
long IS the mortgage tax remains in
the Louisiana constitution.
Further, the business men Of Louis
lana are constantly handicapped in
their efforts to handle cotton, grain
and other valuable export commodities
because the banks cannot readily
finance such transactions.
The total deposits in the New Or
leans banks amount to somewhere
about s75, 0O0, 900. Had there been no
p~rohibitive restriction upon the in
vestment OF outside capital, these de.
posts, in the opinion OF competent
bankers, would now amount to about
half billion dollars, and there would
be ample funds available for all legit-
ment development projects and for
current business needs too.
In such states as New York, Penn
