Two League Farmers Had
Not Heard That Interest
Bills "Had Got The Axe

Bismarck. N. D., March. 2o.-Wil:-
liam Hart and Andres Hochhalter,
well known league farmers of the
Regan 9neighborhood. came to Bis
marck yesterday to borrow some
cheap money to finance their spring
farming operations. They had been
told that the league had decapitated
ohe Ubiquitous law placed on the
statute books by Big Business, and
that the legal rate of interest had
been reduced from 10 to 6 per cent.
They expected to get their money at
8 and to return home praising the
league and the wisdom which
prompted them to join it. They did
neither. They discovered that House
Bill 1874. reducing the legal rate. from
10 to 8, and Senate Bill 16. reducing
the legal\rate from 10 to 6, had both
for some unknown reason quietly re-
ceived the axe. Much adoo was
made over the Introduction Of these
bills. but the league organs failed to
mention their death or the manner Of
their going. Messrs. Hert and Hoeh-
halter ven to the capitol for further
s~ssuraQce, which they received. One
state officer was even unkind enough
to intimate that President Townley's
banking operations might have
changed his attitude toward this type
OF legislation.

the biennial period to be $4,000, 900;

It is suggested that states and cities
authorize large building projects to
stimulate business and give employ.
ment to labor. That will help. but it
will not be sufficient. What we need
is for Washington to spend as much
printers ink in getting people to buy
as it spent in getting people no to
buy. The president has resolved the
war restrictions, disbanded the re-
tarding boards, and has done all he
can to help business. What Is now
needed is a willingness on the part
of both labor and capital to forget the
past and saw wood"
1t is generally conceded that Amer
lea has made more progress than any
other country Statistics indicate that
this has been largely due to three
educational system of developing in
dividual initiative, and Dur concen-
tration on ~salesmanship and advertis-
ing. The first two factors r being
talked about so much that I cannot
too strongly emphasize the last. Dur
ing the war period it was necessary
to do little more than make products
and transport them in order to dis
pose of them at a good profit. Goods
sold themselves. 1t was simply a
question of getting the labor and the
cars. But by the time this period had
reached it's height the armistice was
signed. Then we wercs suddenly con-
fronted with a huge manufacturing
capacity and a disorganized selling
and advertising machine. Supply be-
came greater than the demand. Bust
ness has been checked. not by the
lack of potential market. but by the
right means to develop it.
Advertising Is the solution Of this
present national problem. The means
OF. reaching the consumers are at
shand. Newspapers, magazines. farm,
trade and religious papers. theater
programs, direct mail, street cars.
posters and painted signs will enable
the government to carry it's message
to every possible buyer. The problem
is to make advertising productive in
proportion to the markets available.
This the government can do.
At no time have the manufacturing
facilities of the country been as great
as they are today. At no time has the
earning power of the American peo-
pie been so high. Purchasing power
mate commodities can be yer furth-
er increased in the markets where
they are now selling. and sales can
be secured where before no markets
were afforded. New products can be
introduced. The public can be edu-
Gated to spend intelligently and also
to save wisely through daily newspa-
per advertising.
I appeal to you. governors and
mayors, that you do not let your
state council of defense nor your local
safety commission disband until they
have spent as much energy. time and
money in getting the public focused
on prosperity Is they spent in getting
| the people thinking of the war.
The departments at Washington re-
! alize that there must be a readjust-
ment following this Every period
Of inBation is followed by q period of
| defation. We are not burying our
heads in the sand as blind optimists.
