Norbert .. German, Ward Coun-
ty Agricultural Agent, was the speak
er At the Monday Rotary meeting, ex.
planning the extensive Farm Bureau
campaign that IS now being conduct.
I'd turnout the United States Mr.
German said the F arm Bureau work
had either beent crgar;zed or was I'M
der the course Of organization in forty
out Of tn, forty eight states Of the
Union and the present member shio as
more than million. Mr.. German
believes the Farm bureau with it's tie.
mendcus membership and carefully
outlined program will do a great dea.
towards correcting the evils directed
against the agricultural interests. The
Farm Bureau has already taken ar
active part IN directing legislatio fav.
orable to the farmers. In times past
tie farmers nave not had Pr )per rep
resentaticn in Congress and their n.
terests were not considered. Mr..
German explained that the work OF
the Committee of Seventeen was not
generally understood The commit.
tse not only hopes to give he farmers
a better price for their produce but
to enable the consumer to buy his
needs at lower figure. Mr. German
explained that there was no reason
why the business men in the districts
interested in agriculture such as Minot
should not join the Farm Bureau and
said that it had tendency to get
the business and farming interests
working for common cause. Mr..
German created a fine impression with
his address, it being one Of the best
that has been heard before the Rotary.
Among the guests at the luncheon
were Prof. Frederick Bass, University
Of Minnesota, consulting engineer for
the Minot sewage disposal plant;
Chas. l: Buxton, manufacturer from
Owatonna, Mimi, who was visiting
with his brother-in-law, Frank P. Tay-
Tor; w. P. Campbell, of Saskatchewan,
an uncle of DR.. r. w. Pence, c. H.
Finke of Berthold and c.. E. Colccrd,
newly elected county auditor from
Renviile county.

BY JOHN M. OsKISON

have heard IL said that the Mormon
church is one Of the richest corporations in
the world. It's wealth has come from a
comparatively small membership who have
followed the injunction of the founders TO
give 10 per cent Of their income to the
church.
An expert on the subject says that IL
everybody in the United States were COM
PEELED TO follow this plan-that is, set aside
10 per cent of earnings-there would be the
vast sum Of $4,000, 100000 available each
year!
Three-fourths Of this tremendous sum
would be furnished by Americans whose in
come is $500 or less year.
Another man has suggested that the gov
eminent ought TO enact law requiring
every one TO set aside 10 per cent of earn
ings as an investment fund. Such law Is
needed because the vast supply Of European
capital which used TO come to US for invest
ment In railroads and industrial enterprises
has been cut off and we don't know when it
will begin to flow to us again.
II Is suggested that the only compulsory
features of the plan should be the 10 per
cent saving and investment in some sort of
American business. The government could
see TO it that every one set aside the 10 per
cent and then every saver could be required
TO produce evidence that his savings had

been used to purchase some sort Of capital
issue.
This is approaching the saving problem
from an entirely new angle, and there Il
something TO be said for proposal which
would make EVERYBODY realize an ohli-
CATION TO the community.
Consider the effect Of such law upon
the community. There would be added each
year TO the available supply of capital SOM
two billion dolars-the 10 per cent contrib16
tons of those who earn $500 or less 8
year. This addition would make the price q
capital low; cheap capital would stimulate
production and railroad building.
With increased production of what W
eat, wear and put into our homes, pre-
at the stores would go down. No doult.
wages and salaries would also go down, 81

income from investment. a
With every one an investor, the laws ~.
ulating the use Of capital would be mad
stringent enough to protect the citisns
against loss due to wildcat ventures they'
would have TO be.
With every one an investor, the eternal
war between the man who handles capital
and the man who works would change 70
something that might be called cooperation.
Isn't it worth considering? Isn't it true
that every one Of us owes it to the com
munity in which we live to help finance that
communities business?
