HE DIDN'T KONW 1T WAS HARD
(FrOm Ccllier's Weekly

Seven or eight year ago the sale
Of motor cars practically stopped
everywhere in the winter months, ex-
cept in the south and the bigger cities
where there was a demand for closed
cars. About that time there was an
automobile dealer in Fargo, North
Dakota, who sold a well-known De-
troit-made car.
It's cold in the winter in Fargo. 1t
gets down sometimes to thirty or
thirty below zero. The ground is
covered with snow from December to
March. People never thought of US
ing motor cars in that country in the
winter.
In spite of that, this dealer sent
every little while during the winter
months an order to the factory, call
ing for immediate shipment. There
was something strange about it. No
other dealer in that part of the coun-
try was doing any business. So the
manufacturer wired, asking him to
come to Detroit.
''How do you manage not only to
sell cars up there, but how do you
get your customers to take delivery
of them this time of year,"
why" he replied, ''there's no sec
ret about that. The people in my ter
ritory are going to wang cars as soon
as spring comes. / have to sell cars
to make living, so work just as
hard in the winter as / do in the
summer. In fact, l work to better
advantage, because / am not burdened
with details, and can spend practically
all my time interviewing prospective
customers.
when l find man who is going
to want a car when the roads open /
try to convince him that it would be
good business to order it now, so that
when spring comes he will be sure
to have it. convince him that slight
loss he might suffer by having his
money tied up for a few weeks will
be offset by the advantage of having
the use Of his machine the moment
conditions permit.
"Now," he added, "why did you wire
me to come to Detroit? ?~
He did not know that dealers in
his part Of the country were not
selling cars. He assumed that if
they were all working like himself
there might not be enough of his
particular make of car to go around
The Bozeman courier., 1921-02-09
Hitting the Nail on the Head

when spring came. He didn't know
it was hard or impossible to sell cars
in the winter time. He had living
to make, and he did not propose to
let cold weather and little snow in
terfere with him.
When he left for his home it was
to dispose of his business and re-
trun to Detroit as assistant sales
manager of the company. He now
holds an important position in the
automobile industry.
Isn't one Of the troubles with most
Of us the fact that we spend too
much time sitting around thinking
about how hard it is for US to make
a living at our particular jobs?
Don't too many of us spend too
much time thinking up good alibi
for not doing better than we do?
Aren't we too prone to indulge In
self-pity?
If we are engaged in the selling
of any thing, isn't it better for us
to be always trying to sell our goods,
even when We know that conditions
are against US, rather than to spend
too much time telling our friend or
our neighbor or our banker how bad
conditions are in our particular line !?
If we keep on trying, we will at
least keep close to general conditions
and will know, of our own knowledge,
what these conditions really are.
There was snow on the ground in
Fargo, but one man continued to sell
automobiles. He didn't know it was
hard!

WHAT is AN EDUCATION
From Montana Record-Herald

At Missoula there has been an in
teresting discussion lately in the
newspaper columns on the subject of
education, and ideas are different and
ideals diverse. The American people
have been very strong, in theory at
least, for education, with their public
school system and the widely distri-
buted colleges. The Missoula discus
sion suggests that standard objec-
tive should be established. In the
meantime, from the views express
ed, the people seem to be struggling
along many trails, scattered all over
the field of acquired knowledge.
Ask a moving picture mad girl
what is an education, and she will
tell you that any girl who knows all
the film heroes and heroines by name
and has as many of their pictures
as she could gather together in her
brief career is reasonably we'll edu-
Gated, and may even claim some cul-
ture. A successful business man will
say that an education-that is, one
worth while-consists of grip on the
means by which you are able to get
the money.
We noted that one of the Missou-
lian's correspondents said that he
whose heart was made glad by ap-
probation of the work of such paint
ers as Whistler, Innes and some 9TH
ers he named, and who could pick
out distinguished parts of the COM
position of great musical composers
and enjoyed them, and could get plea
sure out of the beauties of nature
was truly educated. Another gentle
man quoted Nicholas Murray Butler,
whose central idea on the subject is
that knowing how to live so the world
will be better for your having lived
is an education.
1t is very evident that few Mon
tanans could qualify under the re-
quirements Of the music and arts
culturist above quoted, or toe the
mark set by Butler, or gain admis-
sion into the movie girls charmed
circle; and while many people are
striving to prove they have the sue
cessful business mans education, the
test is so severe the many are re-
jected. A standard obviously is need
ed in America, so that we may know
what education is and all work ii
unison toward it.
AS final contribution to the sym
postum of opinion on the matter, {
man whose children have just beguI
going to school may be quoted. HI
said the first smattering of educa
! tion they acquired was in the natur
of heavy colds. Then one went t.
the hospital for a couple of weeks
and the other grabbed off CHECKER
pox. After that they both got whOop
ing cough, with which they were the
struggling. But that was not al
there was to it, he understood. Whe
they should return to school, ther
! would be more of it, there bein;
many more maladies in the curricu
lum. Yes, indeed, education at pres
ent strays oil over the world. Wha
it particularly needs is analysis, dc
finition, standards, fixed objective
= and a universal goal.

TRAVEL DROPS OFF
WITH HIGHER FARES

Great Falls-Increased passenger
rates have resulted in Montana in a
decline in the number of passengers
carried, at least temporarily, accord
ing to persons who have taken the
trouble to look into the matter.
Several people interviewed in re-
gard to the new schedule stated that
the raise will eventually mean that
the majority of travel will be entirely
for business purposes and that few
will travel to various points in the
state merely for pleasure 1t is also
believed that many trips heretofore
regarded as business trips will be
classified as unnecessary by the busi-
ness men of Montana.

THE POINT OF THE TAX
(From The Chicago Tribune.)


Representative Frear Of Wisconsin,
a member of the house WAYS and |
means committee, opposes the pro-
posed sales tax on the ground that it |
is designed to relieve corporations of |
taxes on their profits and put the |
burden on the workingman and as
sociated citizens. That talk is prob
ably good politics, but poor business.
More than two yeSrs of postwar
experience has proved that the person
who paws the excess profits tax is
the ultimate concun- er not the stock
holder or president of the corporation.
Tax experts, financiers, economists,
and business men have made it clear
that the only good thing the excess
profits tax does is to provide income
for the government. That is good
and it is necessary. But at the same
time this tax withholds money from
reinvestment in business, and so pre-
vents more general and economical
production, which in turn would mean
lower prices. That is bad and it is
unnecessary. 1t hampers the pros
perity Of the nation.
What is needed is tax on unnec-
essary consumption rather than pro-
duction, on idle capital rather than
working capital. Such tax will pro-
vide federal income and at the same
time stimulate instead of handicapp-
ing industry.
1t is proper to tax the rich man,
but the excess profits tax has fall
ed to do it. Witness the fortunes ac-
cumulated in the last few years de-
spite that tax. A new tax method
therefore is sought. The sales tax
is a tentative suggestion. The pos
sible method of its application is st
subject to much discussion. Mr..
Frear holds that it is bad because it
will take an extra penny from the
housewife who buys a bag of sugar
; or yard of calico. Perhaps it will,
! but it will take a hundred or a thous-
and times as much from the wealthy
man who keeps a retinue of servants,
string of automobiles, town and
country houses, etc.
1t is designed to make the rich man
pay fer consuming rather than owning
; goods or money. 1t is designed to
} make him a producer rather than a
: waster. 1t is designed to make him
operate a factory employing men,
providing necessary commodities, anC
t contributing to general prosperit!
r rather than to allow him to live ir
: idleness On. the interest of nonpro-
e ducing tax exempt securities. Th'
o money his corporation earns and puti
: back into improved production woul
e not be taxed It would help the poo
o man earn a living and buy goods a
cheaper prices, so that if called OF
0 he could pay the penny extra fo-
u calico and still be ahead.
y The tax problem is vast, and we d
not presume to cover it, but sucl
: talk as that of Mr.. Frear is too mucl
: like deception to be overlooked il
congress, where the problem must b
5 settled. We must have taxes. TIL
S point is to assess them where the.
will do the least damage to genera
r prosperity. If congress is wise rathe
q than political that will be the chic
y point kept in mind.

UPWARD MOVE;
CORN ADVANCES

Chicago, Oct. IL. - More BUYERS
were IN the wheat pit today and

trading. The opening was &c to
IL higher with December $1.1IiL
to $1-12, and May $116k to $1.161h.
Scattered buying ait the start en-
countered few selling orders and
the initial advances amounted to
around a cent over yesterdays I'm
ish- The early bulge was lost
when pressure increased but this
did not prove persistent and some
encouraging signs in the cash mar
ket coupled with weather bureau
predictions of filling frosts result
ed in recoveries which took De-
cember back to SLIP and May to
$11615.
Corn futures advanced early
when hedges were removed on lib
eral sales Of cash corn made late
yesterday. Country offerings were
smaller but trade was light and the
market responded to every light
wind that blew. Initial prices
were unchanged to NC lower with
December at 461A to 46ss, and May
52K to 523sc. In the first hour the
former went to 471s and May to
53c.
Oats were firmer and scattered
buying and lessened pressure. The
opening was nc higher with De-
cember $3.50 to 33Ac and May 80
to 381sc.
Provisions were firm with strong
undertone due to a steady market
for live hogs.
