a UP PROMPTLY.

From certain standpoints the ideal
way in which to do business is to pay
spot cash for all purchases. For many
reasons this is not always convenient,
and in most cities monthly settle
ments have become the rule in the To-
cal retail trade. In nan cases this
rule is more honored in the breach
tina in the observance, for the
monthly settlement sometimes drags
along for several months. Not infre-
Quently there is never a complete get
tlement, payments on account being
made from time to time, in which
cases somebody is carrying the GUS
tomer continuously for the amount of
his average shortage, without interest.
The money which the merchant has
tied up in overdue accounts, which,
in individual cases., may amount to,
many thousands Of dollars, must be
obtained by him from some other
source. If he demands longer time
from his jobber his own credit is i'm
paired. and he is unable to buy to good
advantage. If he borrows from his
bank he must pay interest. In either.
case, this additional cost must be
added in one form or another toy his
list of expenses, and must be reflect
ed in the selling price Of his goods.
1t is decidedly to the interest Of the
general public. that prompt payment
Of all current accounts be made, and
the consumer, more than any other
person, is interested in having the rule
for prompt payment religiously OBJ
served.
The merchants of Grand Forks are
trying to improve conditions by re-
questing their patrons to limit their
charge accounts to 80 days, and they
are entitled to the support of the
community in this effort The success
of the move will curtail merchandise
ing costs materially and will make
possible closer selling, and it will free
for other and necessary purposes
large sums which are now tied up in
diliatory accounts.

TAX AGAINST U. S.
PEOPLE ABROAD IS
BEING PROTESTED

Buenos Aires, Aug. 24.-(Mail)-
Protest against the assessment of the
United States income and excess prof
its tax upon American citizens and
business firms residing and operat-
ing abroad is voiced in a resolution
adopted by the chamber Of commerce.
of the United States in Argentine and
sent to the government az Washing
ton. Amendment to the law is asked
on the ground that it is proving an
obstacle to the development and ex-
tension of United States foreign COM
merce.
Collection of the tax not only in
creases the heavy expenses of Amer
leans residing abroad, but constitutes
q serious handicap to them in trade
competition. the resolution states,
since no such tax is collected from
the nationals of other countries. II
is further pointed out that American
heavy taxes levied by the country in
which they are located and are thus
taxed twice without representation
either in the government Of tha1
country or their own.
Already the assessment of the ex-
cess profits and income tax has caus-
ed many American interests operat-
ing abroad to change their identity
by organizing as concerns of the coun-
tries where they conduct business, it
is asserted, thus causing a serious
loss to the prestige of American COM
lnerce in foreign markets." 1t is con-
tended tina. when the relative high
cost of living and other disadvantages
by foreign residence are con-
sidered. incomes abroad that appear
large are not really so in comparison
with those paid in the United States,
and the collection Of the tax upon
them tends to make foreign residence
and business operation financially dis
advantageous.

RUSSIAN DESCRIBES
REAL BOLSHEVISM

Brunswick, Germany. Aug. 81
(By Mail. )-August Mcrgcs, German
communist leader who has just re-
turned from Moscow, says that Boil
shevism as practiced in Russia is pure
unadulterated communism. The cost
of living there is excessively high:
paper money is wiped out with paper
money II people generally have the
blues"
Merges. a. little hu~nchbacked Jour-
neyman tailor, who staged the COM
munist revolt in Brunswick in 1919,
warns his comrades against settling
in Russia.
Politics in Russia are controlled
by the communist party. which counts
10000 members, several hundred
thousands of whom are office seekers
and political hanEers-on who are not
to be trusted" Merges declared in
an address on his Russian discoveries.
He declared that the Russian system
was not suited to Germany, because OF
it's rigid Capitalization combined with
a tedious bureaucracy. and its imita-
ton of c%apitalistic methods He told
the Moscow reds. he said, that the
German communists did not propose
to take orders from them.

A FREE

We are told repeatedly that this
il a free country, and most of us be-
lieve it. In a free country every citi-
zen has a right to run for office, and
every citizen has a right to support
for any office whatever candidate in
his judgment most suitable for the
place.
1t is not always easy to tell who is
the. best, man for any particular Of
flee. Occasionally one man stands
out 80 conspicuously IS superior in
fitness to all others that there is no
room for doubt. More often there
are to be found In a community sew
eral persons who are quite we'll quail
fled to perform the duties of any Of
flee that must be filled, and whose
qualities are SO evenly balanced that
the selection resolves itself largely
into one of personal acquaintance
ship or friendship.
At a meeting held on Monday night
five men were recommended for the
five positions on the city. commission.
We have not heard it suggested that
these are the only citizens of Grand
Forks capable of serving the city &C.
ceptably in these positions. In the
council, from which most of these
men were chosen, there are other
men who would make excellent COM
missioners, and outside the council
are still other men, clean, capable,
well fitted by character and training
for such duties as those which must
be performed by the commissioners.
But it was necessary hat suggestions
should come from some source, and
that five persons be placed before the
people as candidates. The result was
the naming of the ticket headed by
James A. Dinnie as a candidate for
president, and of four members of the
council for commissioners.
That ticket is presented rs fairly
representative of the population Of the
city and of its widely distributed To-
calities. 1t is composed Of men who
have demonstrated their business ca
pacity in the management of their
own business. and who, in their pub
lie service, which in some cases has
extended oyer many years, have de-
voted themselves faithfully and intel
ligently to the management Of the az
fairs of the city. .
The Herald has heard some discus
sion of the ticket then selected. but
thus far it has heard nothing to indi-
cate that the selections were not wisely
made or that it should not be elected.
The character and business capacity
Of the nominees being granted. and it
10 scarcely likely that these will be
questioned, it was natural and logical
to select men from the retiring council

LOWER CALIFORNIA
VICE CENTER, CLAIM

Washington, Sept. 1s.-Likening
Tia Juana. Lower California, to
Sodom and Gomorrah, the board of
temperance, prohibition and public
morals of the Methodist Episcopal
church issued a heated rejoinder to
the refusal of Secretary of State Colby
to withhold passports and border per-
mits from Americans crossing the
Mexican border to visit the 'lidless"
town.
"The department has not been
asked to constitute itself a censor of
morals" says the board. ut has been
asked to deal with a practical stu
alton which may ever involve matters
of peace or war. 1t has beer asked
power to take n which would re-
suit in:
"1-Preventing the fleeing of Am
erican citizens of millions of dollars.
"2-Preventing the debauchery of
American girls and women.
"3-Preventing the violent robbery
of Americans who have been lured
across the border by false advertising.
"4-Preventing possible physical
conflict between the sailors of the
American destroyer fleet and the citi-
zens Of Tia Juana.
when scores of thousands of
American citizens crossed the border
on July 4 for the obvious purpose OF
gambling and participating in the
other sporting activities of Tia
Juana, were the authorities under the
delusion that there was reasonable
and legitimate need for crossing?"
"Is the desire to play faro, rou-
lette. wheel Of fortune. craps and
