ECONOMISTS FOR THE PEOPLE

We believe that store which
recognizes a moral business code is
a factor in the up-building of the
business life of the city in which it
is located and that instead of Great
ing a destructive o m p e i i o n
against other stores in the town, it
is helpful to them through the con-
fidence that has been added in the
minds of the people who trade in
that city. A few of the rules incor-
porated in our business policy and
strictly adhered to are: Strictly
one price"-you buy at our store at
the same price as your neighbor;
money refunded cheerfully;" Civ
ing the best possible merchandise
at the least possible price right at
the beginning of the season and not
loading our goods with exorbitant
prices early in the season and de-
pending on fictitious sales to dupe
the people with later on" "a guaran-
tee in our store is an obligation"
if we buy for less we will sell to
you for less" mo misrepresenta-
ton of values;" courteous, square,
broad minded treatment of our GUS
toners. To live up to these rules,
mark true to the line in every detail.
Also we call our store THE store
with conscience. We live up to
that, too. We also believe Chick
ems come home to roost."

: THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK

has during the years of its life here
tried in various ways to do two
things:
First, to impress upon people, es-
pecially the young men, the neces-
sity, in order to be successful, of
spending less than they earn. If a
man earns a salary of 100000
yearly and spends it all he is fail.
ure. He is a spendthrift now and
will become pauper late in life
when his earning powers are i'm
paired. Such habit is az ainst an
applicant for any position of respon-
sibility.
Secondly, that a successful man
carries bank account. In these
days man who has no bank con-
nection is a poor man Howevar
worthy it is hard for such man to
get credit. Independent of any
selfish purpose we rejoice in the
success of any young man who has
the evidence of his prosperity. if
it is true, as Booker T. Washington
says to the colored man. that a
negro who is a property owner is
seldom seen in the courts, that it is
the improvident classes that COM
NIT the crimes and fill the iails of
the country" is it not also true that
the white people follow along the
same lines?
AS a national banker l plead
guilty to an alliance with the men
who succeed. The man who sue
ceeds is first of all the man of char
acter. That is necessary and i'm
portant asset in obtaining a credit
standing at bank. If you do not
show disposition to make good
1.-THE promises made to a bank do not
complain if you cannot borrow
money there. A standing with the
banks of this country helps a man
to success and every young man
ought to know it.

How TO MARKET THEM.
For many years the public in
general has looked on the railroad
as the perfection of modern organi-
z4tion an d their system of manage
ment was supposed to be the ne
plus ultra of economic arrangement.
Last year, | think it was, Mr..
Louis Brandeis startled the world
by his statement, made in no uncer
tain tone that the railroads in this
country were losing by sheer waste
full extravaganza and lack of proper
system $50, 100000 year and, best
of all, he seems to have demonstrate
ed that the statement was true.
Now, Mr. Brandeis is not rail
road man and that is probably the
very reason why he saw these leaks.
The man on the outside, often sees
discrepancies that the busy owner
of the business cannot, or at least
has not, discerned.
Therefore, if railroads, managed
as they are by probably the highest
paid class of men in commerce, can
be shown where losses and discrep-
ancies exist, and where and how
improvements can be made, is it
not reasonable that the farmer,
busy from morning to night as he
is with the seeding and harvesting
of his crops, can perhaps be shown
how he can better himself in the
marketing of his products?
For, understand me plainly, I
don't pretend for minute to know
how to pillow or prepare the land,
nor how to sow or harvest a crop,
how to raise and care for the live
stock; but when it comes to the sell
ing end, there the man in the city,
understanding it's markets and vari
Gus peculiarities, can perhaps help
many to prosperity who have here
tofore eked out bare existence.
And, after all, this is the import
ant end. For what use to expend
the money and labor necessary to
raise and prepare crop, if it does
not bring profit?
FARMER A MANUFACTURER.
In the first place, l want to i'm
press on the mind of every owner
of farm that he is the owner of
Factory and that the farmers of this
country constitute the largest and
richest and most powerful manu-
featuring interest in the world.
The farmer takes certain amount
Of capital, with appropriate amount
of labor, and, combining it at the
proper seasons and places, manu-
features that great and only REALLY
VALUABLE commodity-FOOD.
FARMER ALL IMPORTANT FACTOR.
All the world must have food and
YOU ONLY CAN PRODUCE 1T.
Why, Man, you hold the WORLD
in YOUR HAND. You are a KING.
You ought to be MAKING the
price of your crops instead of hav-
ing it made for you, and SOME
DAY YOU WILL MAKE THE
PRICE. But it will take time and
patient effort and systematic, care
full study of the situation. Then,
proper action and cooperation; but
this means not the expenditure of
money but of brains.
Therefore, considering your farm
as factory and yourself as manu-
facturer, let Us see what our equip
ment consists of.

Santa Fe, Oct s7.-That the occu-

that taxation in New Mexico is moth

David A. Reed is son of James H.
Reed, who is director in the steel
corporation Mr.. Reeds argument was
largely statistical He combatted the
governments charge that the steel
corporation restrained competition.
Mr. Reed took up the charge of the
government that the Steel corporation
had a monopoly in the country. Four
per cent of the earth's crust is com
posed of iron, he reminded the court,
and smilingly asked how any one
could monopolize the ore supply when
ii is found everywhere, He also re-
minded the court that the present tar
iff law had taken the duty off iron
ore, which gives American manufac-
turers foreign ore practically on an
equality with the domestic raw mate

Philadelphia, Oct. 27--Counsel for
THE government announced to the
United States district court today that
is action against the Freat Northern
railway ore interests, so far as they
are involved in the dissolution suit
against the United States steel cor
polation, amounts to only a question
OF costs in the present suit.
Henry E. Cotton, special assistant
TO the attorney general in arguing on
the ore resources of the Steel corpo-
ration, today told the court that the
lease of ore lands by 1S companies
owned by the Great Northern inter-
ests to the Steel corporation had been
superseded by another agreement
which virtually cancelled the old
lease.
The court wanted to know how it
could cancel lease that was longer
in operation. Mr. Cotton replied that
the question was now merely one Of
the proportion of the costs of the suit
10 be assessed against the Great
Northern.
While on the subject Of uniform
prices as an indication of non-competi-
ticve conditions in the steel industry,
MIR. Cotton said the Steel corporation
sold products in foreign markets at
prices greatly lower than in the Uni
ted States The defense, he said, con-
tended that it was only the surplus
product that was disposed of in for
eien countries, Mr. Cotton said that
The fact Steel corporation sold sur
plus at a reduction in the foreign mar
ket was an indication that the corpo-
ration intended to keep up excessive
prices at home If the corporation
had been honest with the public, Mr..
Colton said. it would have disposed
cf its surplus production in the United
states at the lower prices.
David A. Reed of Pittsburgh, of
counsel for the steel corporation, de-
Tended Andrew Carnegie's action in
disposing Of his interests to the steel
corporation when it was organized
Mr.. Reed said Mr.. Carnegie had no
thought that the steel corporation in
tended to monopolize the steel 'busi-
