ILLINOIS REPORTS MARKED
IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS

CHICAGO. Nov. 23.-According to
advices received from all cities OF any
size in the state. the unemployment
situation is being relieved. Construc-
ton and building work Is going ON in
liberal quantities in most points OF
the state, some places for the first
time this year, owing to labor dim.
culties. which have only recently
been settled. Industries are reported
as adding to their forces and ex-
tensive municipal improvements are
taking up the slack OF unemployment
in many sections. Railroads are add
ing to their forces and, unless rail.
road employees persist in striking
against q reduction Of wages to the
level Of July last year. there II every
indication that railroad employment
will be permanent and the number Of
men returning to work will increase.

CITY ELECTORS MUST HAVE
RIGHT TO VOTE ON BONDS

Every qualified elector in a city
operating under the home rule amend
ment of the state constitution must
be given an opportunity to vote on a
bond issue the proceeds of which are
to be used in making public improve
ments.
The supreme court SO decided when
1t reversed q decision Of the Boulder
district court in which the latter had
refused to compel the city authorities
to refer to vote of all OF the electors
an ordinance providing for the ex-
penditure of 100000 fdf memorial
park for the Boulder men who gave
their lives in the World war.
The court in deciding that the dis
trict court should have referred the
ordinance to all qualified voters. and
not to the taxpaying electors alone.
said:
"a non-taxpaying elector has an in
terest in the prosperity and general
welfare OF the city OF his residence.
He may hope and expect In time to
become a property owner and tax
payer II the city becomes heavily in
debted for one purpose II may be left
without proper means for administer
ing its affairs in other respects. A
large expenditure for parks and other
municipal purposes might create SO
great a demand on the city's revenues
as to prevent the efficient policing of
the city or the proper lighting Of the
Streets"

LET TUMULTY DROP
DECEPTION NOW

Joe Tumulty is presuming much in
claiming to "clear up a mystery" con-
cerning Wilson's refusal to accept
Roosevelt's offer of brigade for i'm
mediate use at the breaking out OF the
war. There was no mystery" in the
affair-unless Newton D. Baker utter.
ed tissue Of falsehoods in his state
ments to Colonel Roosevelt. Indeed.
even granting that the then Secretary
OF War was not telling the truth would
not change the situation. 1t would
still be known Of all men that the
administration feared Roosevelt's pop
ularity and was determined he should
be denied any opportunity to earn
fresh fame by valiant service In the
war.
Colonel Roosevelt made public the
letters he wrote to Secretary Of War
Baker regarding the offer Of a brigade
of voluntary troops, and also pub
lished Bakers replies.
II Joe Tumulty is desirous OF clear
ing up mysteries" he can ind ample
opportunity in answering. questions
people really have asked with much
eager interest. Who wrote the VIII
son message to Congress in Decem
ber, 1919? why were interviews given
out relative to the President's rapid
restoration to health when Mr.. Wilson
was really at deaths door? Why were
cunning and duplicity and falsehood
practiced constantly against the Amer
lean people in matter Of such vital
concern to every citizen, and actually
at the cost OF millions Of money tc
the business interests of the nation
Mr.. T. should leave of deception, now
that he is out OF office, and II he

public things It wants to know.-st

OUR PATRIOTISM

The following letter was received by
this Office from party at Hotchkiss
Dear Editor-Who was the young
man who on Armistice day repeatedly
refused to uncover his head in honor
of our soldier dead who gave his life
for that same young man, unworthy
though he be?"
Frankly we do not know. There
were, and are on every memorial day,
so many similar instances that we
can't help wondering just where pa
triotism begins and where it ends,
with some people.
Often in our desire to be fair we
cover the deed by flimsy excuse that
people don't think" But this is not
the case in many instances. Our re-
spect to the Stars and Stripes and our
devotion to those who yielded up their
lives that we might enjoy the bless
1ngs of liberty, it seems to us should
be spontaneous and should come sud-
denly and unbidden.
There is certain respect due the
flag. 1t should be raised at sunrise
and lowered at sunset. 1t should not
be displayed on stormy days or left
out at night except during war.
When national colors are on parade,
all persons should, if walking, halt,
and If sitting, rise, and stand at at
tention.
An old, torn or soiled nag should
not be thrown away, but destroyed,
preferably burned.
The flag should never be permitted
to touch the ground.
All persons should stand when the
"Star Spangled Banner" is played, re-
naming standing in silence until it is
finished
In placing the flag at half-mast, it
should be raised first to full mast,
then lowered to the half-most position,
from which it should again be raised
to full mast before lowering.
The flag should never be draped
When the flag is hung against
wall, the blue field should be in the
upper left hand corner if the stripes
are horizontal; in the upper right
hand corner if the stripes are verti-
cal
When flag is hung across north
and south street, the blue field should
be toward the east, the rising sun;
when across an east and west street,
the field should be toward the north
The flags of two or more nations
should be hung at the same level and
should be on separate staffs or hal.
yards.
In the United States when the
American fag' is carried with one
other flag, it should be at the right.
When with two other flags it should
be in the middle.
When it is hung on the wall with
other flags. It is placed at the spec
tator's right, IL 1t is one of two; or
in the middle IL it is one of three.
The flag at half-mast is sign of
mourning.
The flag flown upside down is a sig
nal of distress.
On Memorial day. May 80. the nag
Is flown at half-mast during the mourn
ing and is raised at noon at full mast
for the remainder Of the day.
When the flag is stationary 1t is not
saluted.

The sentiment expressed in the
above article is entirely sound, but
there is some slight inaccuracy In the
article as to matters of fact.
For example, the existing date for
the beginning Of payments. for con-
struction was not fixed, we are in
formed. at the time the work was
commenced. but in 1918, in q new
contract which supersedes the original
contract. But for this new contract,
which gave us an extension OF five
years, the project would have been
opened in 1917.
Further, while the exact cost per
acre will not be definitely known till
the opening is announced, it may be
safely assumed that it will be about
$40 per acre. The payments will be
spread over period of twenty years.
the first payments being 2 per cent
of the whole. This first payment will
therefore probably be about $1.40 per
acre.
The Delta independent., 1921-11-25

and If it appears that 1t is necessary
to defer payment the valley will be
given every concession possible. The
government stands ready as ever to
do the right thing by. the valley.
The personal word from the depart
ment should do much to allay all fears
and set at rest those who may have
felt any unrest in the matter.

FINANCING FARMERS IS
MAIN BUSINESS OF WAR
FINANCE CORPORATION

WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-Contrary
to a belief which prevails in some
places, the War Finance Corporations
assistance to agricultural interests is
not confined to financing agricultural
exports. In fact, the financing Of agri-
cultural products designed for export
Is a comparatively insignificant part
OF the work of the War Finance Cor
poration. In the language Of Eugene
Meyer. Jr., Director OF the War r.
nance Corporation. the corporation
has two functions: export power and
agricultural financing power. We have
loaned some money for exports-one-
half through bankers and one-half
through cooperative associations. But
our agricultural financing business
will amount to s5 per cent Of the total.
We discount the farmers paper

comes to us-the paper on which the
banker loans the money. II 10 the

Mr.. Meyer also points out that
there IL NO limit to the size OF loan
which the War Finance Corporation
can make. There are also q great
diversity OF mediums through which
It can make loans. Under the terms
OF the act any reputable and respons-
ible financial institution or associa-
tion, with resources adequate to carry
out the proposed undertaking. may be-
come q borrower Of the War Finance

Naturally some leadership will de-
velop in the course of the discussions.
What the world should hope is that
the leadership may come from Japan.
because if the purpose of the confer
ence is to be accomplished while all
nations must yield something of their
ambitions Japan must yield most.
And it is possible for Japan at this
time to achieve for herself among the
nations of the world station more
respected, more glorious and more en-
during than was ever achieved by the
mightiest conqueror at the head of
the most inyincible hosts. And it is
not at all impossible that Japan may
take that course. : San Francisco

The country does not expect the
conference on limitation of armaments
to accomplish everything that might
be desired in an ideal world. nor very
much that might be desired, but it
does expect that start will be made.
The country is also confident that if
there is failure of accomplishment,
that outcome will not be due to the
readiness of the spokesmen of the
United States to meet any and all
other nations half way in any effort
to reduce the cost of military estab-
lishments. Lawrenceburg (Tenn.)
