A TAX ON ADVERTISING.

While the administrat ton Is discus
sing a tax on advertising 1t is well to
remember one important fact, towit
That no single element in our life does
more to keep down the cost of living
than well placed advertising.
No merchant would get far without
advertising. Most of them would be-
come bankrupt. A large volume of sales
means cheaper goods. The merchant
is satisfied with smaller profits on in
dividual sales if his business grows.
Under these conditions he prefers to
keep prices down. Advertising helps his
sales. His clerks would be idle If ad-
.c:::s:mS did not bring people to his
store.
George Eastman, in 1878, was a bank
clerk. with a hobby for photography.
Out of his dissatisfaction with the wet
plate came the Kodak and one of the
| greatest romances of business. Now
the company invests at least II 100000
a year in advertising.
You remember the relatively high
cost of small cameras a few years ago
as compared with the cost now. That
does not mean that the cost of pro-
duction has been lessened. 1t means
that $1,000. 900 year expended by the
Eastman company for advertising has
increased the business so that they
can afford to make a lower price to
the public.
One may say that the camera is n
luxury. but the results OF advertising
on the same scale produce the same
results In lowering the cost Of break
fast foods, certain brands Of flour and
many necessities .of life.
The newspapers should bear their
burden of II just war tax without COM
plant, but the public should under
stand that n tax on advertising will
operate like II tax on coal or flour or
sugar or any other everyday COM
modify.

A GREAT WORK FOR ROOSEVELT

Colonel Roosevelt has started out on
a campaign in which his services will
he Of the greatest possible value. much
greater indeed, than he would have
rendered at the head of an expedi-
tiouary army to Europe. He will stump
the country in n supreme effort to
arouse the people to unified action.
He will plead for the fullest revival of
the old national spirit in this war for
liberty and humanity; he will urge a
greater food productions: he will give
his best fighting efforts to counterfeit
the work of the wide spread and in
sidious organization of pacifists.
No other living American. with the
possible exception of Colonel Bryan,
can accomplish so much along this
line. The greater portion of Colonel
Roosevet's followers remain with him
in defeat as well as in victory. just
as Colonel Bryan always succeeds in
holding his band together.

CENSORSHIP USELESS,

The censorship provisions of the bill
which the president insisted upon will
not keep news from our enemies whose
spies will find a way to get at the
best kept OF our secrets inst as spies
always have in every land; they will
not keep information away from the
editors of the country, whose alert cor
respondents at Washington will be IN
the know" as they always have been.
But those provisions. If enacted, viii,
prevent the Washington correspond
ents and the editors from giving this
information to their readers--and the
great bulk of Americans alone win be
kept in the dark. In the place or a
discreet dissemination OF truth by con
scientious and patriotic newspapers,
we shall have "a flood OF wild GOSSIP,
increasing in minutiae OF erroneous
detail with each repetition. until the
mind of the country will be inflame,l
beyond estraint.--BoZeman Courier.

wolves. The advertisers club Of that

We would like to see a law OF that

Of residents of this state are robbed

pie who would not trade horses with

send their dollars out of the state by
the thousands for such shoddy, worth
dess stuff as was turned up in Mill
Waukce. They have no means OF
knowing that suits purchased as all
wool are thirty one per cent cotton.
Some critics would say that men who
make their money in Montana and buy
their goods from the outside. do not
deserve to prosper We do not in
clude all mail order customers in that
class, because some Of them may live
in remote sections where satisfactory
trading is difficult.
On the other hand, there are mail

too blind and selfish to understand
that they are working against the de-
velopment OF the city and thus against
their own interests by patronizing
mail order houses. They should be
rounded up ana listed.
The important point to remember In
the affair ut Milwaukee Is that the
buyer was robbed and that the mail
