DIMINISHED O O WILL

What is it that business houses most
jealousy guard in normal times?
What is that in which they take their
greatest pride and which is recognized
commercially and even by the courts
as a vital part of the assets of a bust
ness enterprise? 1t is good will. And,
good will results from all those fac
tors which make confidence possible
and promote bearable relations be-
tween man and man. Good will grows
gu OF service-out of giving dollar-for
dollar value value-out of reasonable
ness-out of courtesy-out of respect
for the rights and the prejudices of
others-out of sincerity and square
dealing.
Are we speaking of four or five
years ago? Apparently so; for as we
look about us at the examples we see
on every hand, we begin to believe
that Che building of good will has come
to constitute the least of the worries
of the average man. During the alb
normal era from which we are pust
enc ~ng, the dealer who sold goods,
seemed to have had the advantage. 1t
was a peculiar condition of affairs. And
The Glasgow courier. [volume] (Glasgow, Mont.) 1913-current, 1921-01-21

was a peculiar condition of affairs.
And, this is not specific, we speak in
general terms.
During the era of scarcity of goods
and abnormally high prices, the con-
sumner perforce had to supply the ne
cessities of life. The dealer could not
get the goods he ordered, and (no
fault of his)i the prices were high. 1t
was also a time when aggravation put
dispositions on a ragged edge; and
patience easily exhausted-that is
true. And, many men in business al
lowed themselves to fall into the rut
of "Let the consumer complaining
will have to toe the mark some day."
But, the worm is turning. For a
time, the consumer possibly did toe the
mark; but-the business mar who
permitted his all but impregnable po-
sition to be an excuse for Indifference
and discourtesy, laid up for himself
a sad reward to come in the days when
he must transact his business by sales
manship and service. Such men have
undergone a s%hrinkage of their most
important asset-good will. Many or
them today are looking for their pre-
vious fair reputation, only to find it
an ugly, furnished remnant of its past
glories. Some few months ago a cou-
Pile of men were talking about one of
the foremost stores in n of the lar
ger western cities and they found
themselves very critical of many little
things that were occurring therein
things which in normal times were
never permitted. The store was losing
its prestige. Ere long it's income will
likewise shrink and it will perforce re-
turn to fundamentals. and build up
the good will which it never should
let go.
In a recent issue of advertising
and Selling" a business mans maya
zine published in the east, Ralph Bevin
Smith contributes a timely and vigor-
Gus article under the title, "What the
Be D Policy Does to Good
Will" Mr.. Smith tried to buy an arti-
,le from a certain supply house. We
need not relate the painful sequel, but
The moral is that the telephone
girl and the salesman who finally re-
uctantly consented to talk to him over
he wire might perhaps have sweetened
heir refusal of his order with a wee
lit of courtesy. Needless to state, he
lid not buy of that company when the
FOODS were on the market. The fol-
owing paragraph concludes Mr..
article:
what profiteth it a man if he gain
he whole worlds business in an emer-
,ency period, and lose his own soul
is good will; for good will is
he soul of business? Some business
are now beginning to ask them I
elves this question, and at the same
ime they are now listening for the s
ats gnawing at their very foundation. !

This applies more to the business
in the larger centers, but is is
God food for thought for even the |

JEROME SUMS 1T UP

Jerome X. Jerome is an Englishman.
Nevertheless Mr.. Jerome does not
hesitate in the least to place a most
harsh estimate on President Wilson's
pet hobby-The League of Nations.
Mr.. Jerome says:
"The League. of Nations is dead.
Long live the League of Nations. So
speaks Harding, president-elect of the
United States. And. so, with him, ev-
cry lover of peace and hater of hate.
"SOdden with hereditary disease,
with worm eaten body and painted
face, it sits propped up in the chair Of
state at the council table of Geneva.
The blinds are drawn, the doors fast
locked. The grinning 'diplOmatists' of
a dying world play out their own SOL
m farce.
1.-THE League of three n%ations-the
league of England, France and Japan
fir the spelling of the earth-is dead.
That brainless brat born amid the
denominations of Versailles"
To be true, that is putting the mat
ter in pretty strong language. Never
theless it must be added that is put
ting it faithfully and truthfully. "The
evil thing with a holy name" is ex-
actly what Mr.. Jerome declares it, and
it, for from being a promoter of peace
is a promoter f war.
If yer we have a league of nations
"a league which will operate most
successfully and in the interests of
all of mankind, this sort of a league
must be n which includes all of the
nations of the world. 1t must be a
league in whose councils the voice of
the humblest is as potential as the
voice of the mightiest power on the
earth. Such a league might be a bit of
ldeallsm, yet, it is as practical and a
great deal more nearer "the heart Of
the world" than that miserable thing
which was produced amid the rancor-
u hate and bitter partisanship, and
mid the diplomatic scheming of that
memorable peace conference where
President Wilson was so a~rtistocrati-
cally trimmed and buncoed.

Income Taxes.

Montana has already an income tax.
1t is not a very heavy one, and
it only applies to corporations. In
good years it produces quite a lot
of In bad years like the
past n when many corporations
have made little or no money it does
not amount to a great deal. But it
strikes US that the legislature should
go a little slow about raising the
rates. They might do SO and get
less money for the state than they
do now besides working other harm
to the state. When Uncle Sam gets
his slice out the incomes there is not
going to be a great deal left that
can be taken without killing off the
goose.-Great Falls Tribune.
