PORTS
BUILDERS Of
COMMERCE
BY Peter Radford.

This nation is now entering upon
an era Of marine development. The
wreckage of European has
drifted to our shores and the world
war is making unprecedented de-
mands for the products Of farm and
factory. In transportation facilities
on land we lead the world but our port
facilities are inadequate, and u flag
is seldom seen in foreign ports. If
energy we have displayed in conquer.
ing the railroads to mastering the
commerce of the sea, a foreign bot
tom would be unknown on the oceans
highways.
This article will be confined to a
discussion of u ports for the pro-
ducts of the farm must pass over our
wharfs before reaching the water. We
have in this nation 81 ports, Of which
Al are on the Atlantic and 10 are on
the Pacific Coast. The Si%xty-second
Congress appropriated over $1,000
600 for improving our Rivers and
Harbors and private enterprise levies
a toll of approximately $4,000, 900
annually in wharfage and charges for
which no tangible service is rendered.
The latter item should be lifted off
the backs of the farmer of this ma
ton and this can be done by Congress
directing it's appropriations to ports
that are free where vessels can tie up
to a wharf and discharge her cargo
free Of any faa or CHARGE
A free port is progress. It takes
out the unnecessary link In the chain
of transactions in commerce which
has for centuries laid a heavy hand
upon commerce. No movement is SO
heavily laden with results or will
more widely and equally distribute
it's banefits as that of a free port
and none can be Q easily and ef-

WATERED SECURITIES
BY Peter Radford.

Much has been said and more writ
ten about the evils of watered stock in
big business concerns and the farm
ers Of this nation believe that every
dollar written into the life of any
business organization, should be able
to say Il know that my Redeemer
liveth," hut farming is the biggest
business on earth, and there is more
water in it's financial transaction than
that of any other industry. There is
as much water in a farmers note
drawing eight or ten per cent interest
when other lines of industry secure
money for four or five per cent per
annum, as there is in a business pay
ing a reasonable compensation upon
the face value Of securities repre-
senting an investment of only fifty
cents on the dollar. The only diff
ference is, the water Is in the interest
rate in one instance and in the secur-
tiles in the other.
The promoter ofttimes takes chances
and his success is contingent upon
the development of the property in
volved but the usurer, as a rule, takes
no chances and his success cripples
the property involved. There may be
industries that cry louder but none
that suffer more severely from finan-
cial immortality in both law and GUS
tom than that of agriculture.
The farmers of America today are
paying 5000, 600, 900 per annum in
usury on real estate and chattel
loans, and this interest capitalized
at five per cent, represents $4,000, 000,-
900 Of fictitious values which the farm
err Is paying interest IN. This sum OF
money is almost equal to the annual
value Of crops produced in the United
States.
The earning power of the farmers
note based upon his interest rate very
| nearly divides likes the earth's sur
face-three-fourths water and one.
fourth land. The largest body of wa.
ter that floats upon the financial hem
isphere now rests upon the farms
and its waves are dashing and its
pillows are rolling against eve mil.

aster to the prosperity of the nation

The Practical Joker.

In these days filled with an overplus
of law against this and that, 1t is to
be regretted that there is not some en-
actment against the practical joker.
The newspaper reader Is being con
stantly reminded that this nuisance is
still abroad. Today it is the n who
maltciously pulls a chair from under
an acquaintance; yesterday it was the
young man who put a sheet over his
head and lay in wait in the shadows
to brighten young girls into Mysteries;
tomorrow it is likely to be the super
bright young man who holds up al
other at the point of an "unloaded"
revolver, only to find on pulling the
trigger that 1t was loaded. It is ex-
ceedingly difficult to imagine what
Joy there can be In misplacing a chair
SO that a person falls to the floor,
often to his permanent injury. And

ZEE BILLS FOR TERMS OF SALE
tainted POLITICS
BY Peter Radfprd.

This country is suffering more from
tainted politics than from n other;
malady at the present time. There Is
scarcely a campaign speech made, q!

carry ,ne faint Of personal gain of,
some politician or political faction
thereof.

tanned in the prospectuses OF the bold.

schemes There are more secret COM!
binations formed by politicians in the
name of my Country" than were ever
formed under any and all other
aliases. There are more political re-
bates hidden in the phrase BE 1t en-;
acted than were ever concealed un-.
der any and all other DISCUSSES.
The inordinate thirst for political
power and unrestrained passion for
mastery has caused more distress in
this nation than the greed for gold,
and it ought to be regulated by law.
No business combination ever pursued
their competitors as relentlessly or.
visited more heartless cruelty upon
their customers than a political party
that seeks to make junk of an in
dustry, or cripple a business for party
success, through tariff measures, po-
litical supervision and Outlines de-
structiye legislation. Many political
platforms are as alluring to the voter
as the story of the rainbow with it's
pot of gold and their contamination
about as far-fetched. Self-gain is the
first law in politics. There are many
men in office today who, If they
could not shake plums OF the tree OF
American liberty or cut a melon taken
from Uncle Sans commissary, would
have less desire to serve the public
The country is surfeiting with patri-
OTIS, who will bare their breast to bull

there are few men in public life who
will bare their breast to voters or run

followed the Star of Bethlehem and
they will often be found to rest over

Unless all signs fail, the one GER
tain result of the European war is
going to be general stimulus to
american industry. Our mills are
running to full capacity; our crops
are bumper ones; our banks are gorg-
led with money; our people employed
at good wages and constantly shorter
hours, making things for Europe to
eat, to wear and shoot. We shall
have great prosperity.
With prosperity comes the pro-
moter, trying to get some Of that

ware the promoter.
= If you are offered any scheme to
make money, take it to your banker
If it offers over six per cent, turn it
down on general principles. The

you take his proposition to the bank

go into this with the banks money?
And if he wouldn't-don't you.
Years ago Western concern or

come to a better end. But it was
too good, and the promoter could not

= Yes, all that may be true" said the
banker "but you're not strong enough
to take the risk and for the possible
profit you can't afford to chance a
probable loss" They went in and in
less than six months the bank went
broke, and the miners nearly went
broke with it they had plunged. To-
day that stock lies somewhere in tin
boxes, mute evidence of what hap
pens when you go against the advice
of your banker.
A certain steamboat captain never
earned more than a hundred dollars
a month, and yet in the course Of
twenty-five years he was able to raise
a family, dress and educate them,
provide handsome home, clear of
debt for them, and leave his widow
with enough to support her in COM

The really big things are not
hawked about the streets like vege-

who would buy. Big things are for
the few; little things for the many.
You worked pretty hard for your

A WORD TO FRIENDS.

GA word to friends is the caption
tof an article in the November issue
tof Mr.. William Jenning Bryan S
I"Commoner. It's first sentence reads
thus: "The results of elections held
in several states November second in
dicate that the Republicans will be
united in 1916"
This solemn warning is followed
by an appeal for subscriptions to the
"Commoner."
The rest of the issue of the paper
is largely filled with signed articles
by William Jennings Bryan and
others opposing the presidents plan
for preparedness.
Which leads us to remark that a
reading of the "Commoner" indicates
that the Democrats will be divided in
1915.

PAY.UP WEEK.

At a meeting of the Bemidji Mer-
chants association short time ago
the idea of having Pay-Up Week
in Bemidji was discussed.
Such an idea is excellent and should
be carried out Immediately after the
holidays. 1t would mean much to
the community.
In one of the Pay-Up Week cam
paigns in a western city an ordinary
silver dollar was labeled "The Home
Dollar" Everybody was asked to
keep it moving, not to send it out
of town, and to report to whom he
paid it. Everybody was surprised
how busy that little round dollar
was. It paid hundreds of dollar
debts and finally got back where it
started. If one dollar kept in cir
culation at home can do so much
for community, what if all the dol
lars are kept busy that way?
Think it over.
If you have fifty dollars in your
pocket and you owe fifty dollars you
know that the fifty dollars you have
in your pocket are not rightfully
yours. If you cannot afford to pay
all of the fifty dollars that you owe,
at least pay part of it. If you think
that when you have money and you
owe it, you have right to retain it
until you are good and ready to pay
it, men who owe you money have
right to think the same way.
It is this general proposition that
Pay-Up week seeks to remedy. If you
promise merchant, if you promise a
friend, to make good certain sum on
certain date you should mean what
you say. A man who would not
think of breaking a social engage
ment will break financial engage
ment or promise and think nothing
of it. For years it has been consid-
cred all right to take your time about
paying debt.
This theory is all wrong.
Pay-Up Week is start in gen.
eral remedial plan.
If worked properly it will prove
one of the best things that this COM
munity ever has had.
Start today to talk up Pay-Up
Week.
