The Cash Habit

Many people who complain Of
high prices and other business diff
culties, help exaggerate these con-
ditions for everyone by their persis-
tent buying on credit. The credit
habit adds to cost of living, it ties
up the country's resources, and is a
drag business.
If person in Mt. Sterling
wcul pay his debts for home and
personal supplies and hereafter pay
cash, it would release a lot of local
money now held up in credits. The
merchant who has to borrow heavily
to offset the debts the public owes
him could pay off these loans. This
would cut out the charge for interest
and bad debts which he now has to
add to the price of his goods. y
But even more important, it would
release many thousands of dollars
to be used right around home for
business enterprises, building houses,
helping farmers finance their next
crop. If more money were available
for loans all over the county, inter
est rates would come down, which
would reduce one important expense
of production. Factories that had
slowed up on account of high inter-
est ates could go ahead with full

War on the Rat

The campaign against the rat, that
persistent enemy to public health
and economic prosperity, inaugu-
rated by the Biological Survey, de-
serves the active and whole hearted
support of all citizens.
1t is estimated by the Survey that
the United States harbors 100000
000of the Enthusiastically one for
each human inhabitant = and that
each Of them consumes at least So
worth Of food each year. This would
bring the direct loss from depreda-
tions Of the rats up to a total Of
s2OO,OOO,OO0.
In the appeal from Washington
the Importance of community work
against rats is emphasized. IF there
is lack of thorough cooperation
results will be negligible. Every
body is asked to use effective traps
and poisons in rat infested places,
and the necessity of prolonged cam
paigns is explained. Preparations Of
barium carbonate recently developed
by the Biological Survey have been
found effective poisons, and these
are now available. Rat proofing of
buildings with cement and tin is re-
commended and an appeal is made to
keep all food for live stock in metal
containers. Old and i'll kept build
ings, especially outhouses, are typi-
cal breeding places.
In the past steam and sail vessels
have been conveyers of great num- |
bers of rats, and the sporadic eases
of bubonic plague and typhus on
countered in the United States are
attributed to rats brought to us in
foreign bottoms. The federal au-
thorities recommend that all ships !
coming to our ports be thoroughly
fumigated and that hawser guards
be used in order to prevent the YER
min gaining land. State laws and
city ordinances should be invoked to !
supplement federal regulations to
bring this about. |
When it is known that rats breed
five or six times every year and that
filters average ten in number some
idea Of the menace Of the destructive
rodent may be gained. The fact that
it is a danger TO the life and prop
erty Of the community should never
be lost sight Of in the conduct of the

Value of Utilities Drops s1e1, 700.

Denver.-Colorado public utilities,
telephone and telegraph companies,
railroads and private street car lines
will pay taxes on $191, 100 less than in
1920. This fact is revealed in the an
nual assessment roll made public by
the State Tax Commission here.
The 1920 valuation fixed by the
commission totalled $227 ,454, 190 while
the 1921 valuation is $227, ,262, 400. The
decrease is Occasioned by the low
earnings of the railroads and various
public utilities.
Low earning capacity of the Mis-
souri, Pacific resulted in a decrease of
$23O,000 in its assessment, while ap-
prOXimately 100000 was taken off the
Rio Grande Southern. The valuation
of the Denver & Rio Grande, which is
the largest in the state, was left at
$41, ,S8S,S00. The second largest as
sessment is against the Colorado &
Southern, which was left unchanged
at $23,981, ,720. No changes were made
in the Santa Fe, Burlington or Union
Pacific railroads.
Among the railroads 100000 was
Topped off the Rock Island. The reason
for this was said to be the fact that
certain property was assessed last
year upon which the railroad was not
compelled to pay taxes.
An increase of $4,000 was made in
the assessment of the American Rail-
way Express Company and private car
lines were increased $4,000. The
Pullman Company will pay taxes on
$1,101,000 the same as in 1920.
A 100000 assessment was made in
the assessment of the Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
while the Western Union Telegraph
COmpany'h holdings in the state are
valued at $2,092, 100, an increase of
about $4,000.
The holdings Of the Denver Tram
way Company have decreased total
of $406,940 since 1920, while the prop
erty value Of the Denver Gas and |
Electric Light Company has increased
since the last valuation exactly $1,183,-
100. decrease also was made in the |
valuation Of the Colorado Power Com
pany. The 1921 valuation is placed at
400, compared with $5,963, $3.50 In
1920.
