THE MONEY MARKET

There is little prospect in relief from the pres ent credit sringency before the middle of January in the belief ol he National Bank of Commerce III New York as expressed in it's Money Market dis cussion in the January issue of its magazine, Com merce Monthly.
 "In view of the large requirements and heaV! shifting of funds incident to interest, dividend ano other payments to be made at the commencement ol the new year no easing of the situation can be ex nected nror to the middle of January the bank says.
 "Reauirements for funds from commercial and in dustrial enterprises normally heavy at this season are this year abnormally large. The government moreover has renewed it's borrowings in the none! market by additional offerings of certificates of in debtedness In addition to the usual requirements of the domestic situation, there has been superim posed tremendous volume of credit extended agans imports to Europe.
 The immediate cause of the demoralized fall o the exchanges which occurred during the month end ing December 15 has been the dumping of heav! volume of bills particularly cotton and grain bills on the market The severe decline of sterling eX change probably reflects simply the adverse trad position of the United States itself, but in addition the pressure of the burden which London is carry ing of a good portion of the entire floating indebt edness of the other European countries to the United States"

ed States have successful selt-government except that the local governments particularly those of the States retain and exercise most of the powers of government Differences in climatic producing and other conditions make it impossible for a govern ment Washington meet satisfactorily the needs of various sections of the country They must be dealt with and handled by the people living in the regions where they arise.
 The greater part of the responsibility for the tendency to minimize the powers of the States and municipal organizations of various sort in this coun- try Gov. Lowden ntmates, is on the people them selves. William J. Bryan once upon time, in dis cussing this phase of governmental development in United States declared while admitting the need fer active and effective State Governments, that here should be to twilight zone between the exer- else of State National authority where injustces pressing for settlement might escape the application of remedies. The trouble has been that State Gov eral Government has branched out into unoccuped fields when it has assumed functions that once upon 9 time regarded properly within its sphere. If the people would wake up and get after
 their various local governments and compel them to exercise the powers that under the Constitution properly theirs, there would be less of a demand for National action every trivial thing or on things that should be settled by the people who have first hand knowledge of matters and direct personal in in them.

If Not Peace, Then Militarism
(Ford's International Weekly)

(Fords International Weekly)
 When you refuse to have peace, there is no al ternative but prepare for This is the mean ing of the Navy General Boards recommendation that "A vessels of various classes be constructed during 1920, with longer program reaching until 1925 when "the Navy of the United States should be equal to the most powerful Navy maintained by any other nation in the world"
 Thus the Navy program goes through to the liking of the most ardent militarist It is to get navy programs through because they involve only the ex pendture of the peoples money But when you have large navy, you must balance it by a large land force and it is just here that the program sticks People who accept without i'll humOr the principle that 'the navy of the United States should be equal to the most powerful navy maintained by any other na- tion in the world would strenuously protest if the principle thus stated-"the army of the United States should be equal to the most powerful army maintained by any other nation in the world" We permit the government to do what it likes with our money; have little self-assertion left when il comes to question of what will permit the gov ernment to do with persons A large navy does not that every should be saor large army almost inevitably that every be soldier.
 However, that is exactly what refusal of the ma. chinery of universal peace entails for unarmed nation in world of war is not wholesome spectacle 1. is example to others; it is only tempta- ton.

It means that those venturing the prise have hopes of adding to the resources and sets of the country. Goat raising may some to be minor industry, but it is well to remember that some countries have achieved fame and wealth from their goat herds.
 Fortunate ineed is the country which can pro- duce its own milk, butter and cheese. Cows are an initial investment, and for maintenance Goats ire comparatively inexpensive. Many person who could not afford COW could afford to buy and keep ! goat or two and eventully would the herd in crease and the returns multiply.
 This country produces everything necessary to the feeding of goats It has been suggested that the native mountain goat be captured and domesticated as it would be much harder Whether or not it could be made to thrive and be of value as a do mesti canimal remains to be

ABOUT STATE RIGHTS

It is significant of newer pasehs of political d visions that Gov. Lowden, of the principal car didates for the Republican nomination for Presiden is featuring State Rights" issue at the pres ent time. In the old days it usually the Demo cratic party which furnished the advocates of thi principle, though it often has been the doctrine C whatever party that happened to be in the minorit at Washington However let's hear Gov. Lowde at his New England Society dinner at New York
 One of the most serious of these [prob lens of the dayl, he declared, is the ten dency to centralize all authority and power in Washington, with the result that states and municipalities are becoming more and more dependent the national capital.
 Successful self-government," Gov Low den declared 'even in the smallest political unit is the only guaranty of successful gov ernment in country such as ours. There many evidences that this type of gov ernment is breaking down in America. More and more frequently the village. the town, the city, finds that it cannot maintain or der without outside help. This is one of the grave symptoms of the times.
 Whenever a town permits the due and orderly processes of government to be inter- rupted by mob, that town is no longer asset, but becomes liability of the repub- lie. For multiply that town by sufficient number and you have situation in which only the army rule. And no self governing country was ever yet ruled sue eessfully by force of arms The primary duty of every political division, matter how small, is to keep its own house in or der.
 Men are too prone in these days. when disorder threatens to call for soldiers Sol diers will always be needed and be used, if they the only to main ain the law. For at whatever cost the law must remain supreme
 Whoever does violence the law is laying profane hands upon the sovereign ty of the people. Let it be remembered, however, that every time outside force, in any community. is employed it is a con fecscn of weakness in the foundations Of institutions. The municipality must learn govern itself when lawessness ap- pears It's chamber of commerce and other civic organizations instead of meeting pass resolutions calling for troops, should organize themselves into defensive forces and offer their services to the peace off of their city to uphold the law.
 "The trend is towards the obsorp- tion by the State of the functions Of the municipality and the absorption by the gen eral government of the proper functions of the State. This trend towards eentraliza- tion of all authority and power in Wash ington strikes at the very foundation of government country of the extent Of ours possibly may be governed in all its details as an empire from central capi- tai. but not republic.
