SOUND FINANCIAL POLICIES

For several years there will be
large issues and large investments in
bonds and securities on account OF
high taxes making other investments
more or less undesirable.
Banking and sound business condi-
tions generally demand that bond is
sues be at a fair rate of interest to
reduce speculation and selling bonds
at a large discount, to a minimum.
Sound policy should be along the line
of inducing people in the state to be-
come investors in home securities, and
western states have well managed
public utilities that issue fine securi.
ties.
State, county and municipal bonds
should be sold as largely as possible
to the people in the district where
they are issued, and this is being done
in counties that issue market roaC
bonds.
Altogether too many outside ant
even European securities are unload
ed on the people, including WORTHLESS:

curities, when people do much bette
to buy home securities.

A BANKS CONSTRUCTIVE PLAN

The Glasgow National Bank in its
advertisement in the Courier last week
announces, "The credit of farmers at
this bank depends upon the lumber OF
acres of land we'll summer fallowed
each year and upon good diversified
farming"
This is something constructive, and
is the first public announcement that
we have noticed, made by bankers,
as to a definite policy, which will
cause the average farmer to take no.
tice, and compel him if he wants credit,
to farm in the proper way.
Up to this year agitation to en-
courage it has not been productive
of much increased summer following.
This year in some localities the farm
ers seem to have been impressed by
the talks of the county agents, and
the many columns of urging, that the
newspapers have been giving to the
movement for better farming. The
Glasgow bank, however, has done
something concrete, and if the other
banks of the state would do likewise,
and restrict credit of the farmers who
do not farm properly, new farming
methods will prevail in Montana
methods that will cause the bench
lands to produce in any year, and I'M
der any condition of Montana climate.
The ruling of the bank only applies
to farmers the same rule regarding
credits that it applies to any other
class of men. If you are a failure as a
merchant or as a publisher or in any
other branch of trade, your credit will
be limited.
It is a pleasure to note that in Val
lev county there is more summer fall
lowing being done than ever before,
and it really seems that the old, slip
shod methods of farming have passed
into the discard in this vicinity.

That pull at Washington must be a
good strong pull, for we note hat IN
addition to all other favors the gov
eminent now has agreed to guaran-
tee the railroads earnings to the a
mount of five and one-half percent on
their valuation, the valuation to be
fixed by themselves. Many farmers
and other business people would be
glad to make the same kind OF an
agreement with the government.
We cannot conceive that it is any
part of the business of the peoples
government to favor the success OF
any one line of private business, to
the detriment of other branches OF
private endeavor. 1t is time for the
railroads to understand that they
must meet competition in a business
way and not by continuing to be gov
eminent pets.

There seems to be a general under
standing among the Democratic pa-
pers, to blame Wilson's ineficiency in
business upon the Republicans. Now
comes the Great Falls Tribune, and
says, that if Congress had been more
watchful during the last years of
Democratic misrule, there would have
been no deficit of $500, 100000 in the
shipping board. Just how congress,
at it's best, could administer the af-
fairs of the shipping board is not said,
for the simple reason that in the ma
ture of things, it could not do so, hav-
ing no executive power and none of
the machinery necessary. How the
last congress did anything with Wood
row Wilson's ever ready veto in the
background, is the wonderful thing
about it.
However, the 100000, 900 item is
but a little larger than the million or
so that John Barton Payne mislaid.
Both incidents are chargeable only
and solely to the inefficiency, and
want of business capacity of the Dem
ocrats, that has been evident every
time that party has been in power
since the government began.

Congress and the Bonus.

At this time a bill giving a further
bonus to former service men of the
United States is, of course, a political
maneuver. Most people, including
most of the senators and representa-
tives and even many of the former
service men themselves, see the folly
of such a payment now. In the Amer
lean Legion itself there is comparative
ly little demand for a further cash
bonus, for many members who have
considered the subject carefully feel
that special forms of training and
opportunities for settlement on land
that is capable of development con-
stitute much more practicable help
than a cash payment. The special
consideration of the bill now is, there
fore, a maneuver to enable members
of both houses of Congress to point
later to the fact that they favored
generosity to the former service men.
1t is probable that the bill will not
even come to a decisive vote, but that
action will be deferred in some quiet
way that will put no n at a politi-
cal disadvantage later because of his
vote.
A cash bonus, involving a large is
sue of new bonds, would be, as Andrew
w. Mellon, Secretary of the Treas
ury, has pointed out, a "load upon
the whole people in the form of in
creased charges, increased taxes, and
increased cost of living" He might al
so have shown that much of this load
would fall on the 10000 900 former SER
vice men themselves, who constitute
a large part of those who pay taxes
directly or indirectly. In fact, in many
cases the amount of the bonus would
be more than counterbalanced by de-
probation on bonds owned by the re-
cipients and by the increase in ex-
penses generally.
Unouestionably the former service
men deserve the best that the nation
can give them but it requires intelli-
gent discernment to see what is best
for them. Though they need training
in work and in securing work, most of
them do not need cash payments, which
would not be enough to use as capital
for agriculture or business, but which
would, in many cases, be speedily
spent for goods of only temporary
value. In the meetings of the Ameri-
can Legion there will doubtless be con
siderable debate on the whole sub
ject; and in the end nearly every one
concerned will see clearly that oppor-
tunity for progressive activity does
not depend on a cash bonus, which
would fully satisfy no one and which

Our Editor President.

We honestly believe that the great
est asset of this nation today is Presi-
dent Harding and, mind you, we are
not thinking of that much over-work-
ed word deficiency"
Colonel Bryan, at the recent conven-
tion of the Christian Endeavor in New
York, paid a fine and just tribute to
President Harding, whom he described
as a Christian president who could be
relied upon to uphold and strengthen
the moral sentiment of this nation,
and that not under his administration
could the old liquor crowd expect to
resume their former position.
We have referred occasionally in
this column to the note of human in
terest frequently sounded in President
Harding's informal speeches. The 9TH
err day he was presented by his fellow
editors with an editorial CHAIR" made
of wood from the famous old schooner
Revenge, captured from the British
on Lake Champlain, in the Revolu-
tionary war. In accepting this gift,
the President said:
81 have a great pride in the part
nave Hdu Ill LIE newspaper pioICooioii'
If I could live my life over l would not
change my profession.
"How very fitting it is that the tim
bers of the old Revenge should have
been made into a token of friendship
and good will. In 81 years of news
paper connection I have never once
allowed my paper to make manifest a
suggestion of revenge, and if there is
one thing that has contributed more
than any other to my moderate sue
cess as a publisher it is that the paper
was on a higher plane than the leve
of getting even"
1t is true that no mar may ever be
great or even moderately great, o.
ever happy, who nourishes hatred:
and who is obsessed with the idea o.
getting ever with people. A news

must have character. That rule APP

~cessarily lose hte confidence of the
public in it's sense of justice.

Make 1t Possible.

A small scale model of a new gun
has been tested in New York which is
so revolutionary in conception that its
possibilities as an instrument of war
fare stagger the imagination. Its in
ventor claims for it that it will shoot
a five-ton shell from 200 to 800 miles.
It's muzzle velocity is from n to five

noiseless and there is no recoil from
