THE PUBLISHERS.

The citizens of Julesburg and Sedg-
wick county should be optimistic over
the outlook for the year 1922.
All Indications point to most fav-
orable year. 1t is very evident that
prices on commodities will become
more stable, freight rates will be re-
duced and our dollars will buy more.
For this reason business is bound to
pick up. This does not mean, how
ever, that you can sit down as you
did during the war and wait for busi-
ness to come to you. It will not do
it. Everybody will have to put his
shoulder to the wheel and work with
vim and energy and with all the pep
that he can bring to his command.
The outlook is bright-prosperity
is near, and we will get some real
business if we fight for it. Let us
do our full shart as individuals in
helping to build up our community.
Be optimistic instead of pessimistic
and insert the "Pull- Together" spirit
for bigger and better Julesburg and
Sedgwick county.
Let's start the new year right by
putting pep into our enterprises and
take advantage of the opportunities
that are before us. The mistakes we
made during the year 1921 should be
the experience needed to guide US for
more successful year during 1922.
Let by-gones be by-gones, and live
for the future instead of the past.
Let our slogan be "a Banner Year"
for 1922 in Sedgwick county, the
garden spot, out here where the
West Begins" Let's go and keep
going during the New Year 1922.

Attracted by Middle States Oil

Question am contemplating purchaa-
ing 1oo shares of Middle States Oil OUT
right Al a recent price of about 13 this
appears to me to be a very good invest
ntent considering the fact that reports
available show this company to be we'll
managed and has a handsome surplus on
hand. several times the worth of the pres
ent stock. Would you kindly give what
data you have available on this stock
such as the last report of the company
surplus. book value. etc. Wv. NJ. w.
Answer-If you buy Middle States
Oil and put it away in your strong
box you are not investing The mere
fact you pay for it outright does not
make it an investment The stock Is
highly speculative, as has been proven
by its market action in the last year.
Middle States began business in 1917
with a capital of S610,000, and the first
three months income was $40 294.
Rapid increases in capital have been
made as we'll as in earnings. For the
three months period from July to
October, 1920, according to an OFFICIAL
statement by the president of the
company, the capital stock was $8 ,000,-
600 and the income was $2,524 157.
The value of assets, the president says,
was $31 1,849 ,496 at the end of Sep
tember last. We do not recommend the
stock for investment That does not
mean to say, however, that it does not
present speculative possibilities.

Editor The Economist


Speosai Casss 70 Tbs Trsbu.s
copyraght, is2i. New York Tribune rne
LYNDON, Feb. 6s--The question of
settling the reparation problem was
the weeks chief financial topic of in
terest The huge sum named at the
Paris conference caused much rejoic-
ing among those French and British
enthusiasts most keenly desirous of
damage.
The question Of the possibility OF
this payment and-if possible--the re-
action of the payment or industry OF
Allied and other countries form an af-
eerthought which throws considerable
doubt on the whole problem. 1t now
looks as If the Allied leaders had ar
ranged the whole affair with the design
first Of cheering up their jingo sup
porsers by the prospect of huge
payment, second OF showing the great
and almost insuperabIe difficulty of en-
forcing payment and finally of showing
ths adverse reactions ON the economic
prosperity Of the victorious powers If
payment were successfully enforced.
The staggering sum mentioned natu-
rally evokes an outburst Of Chauvinist
joy from the victors and q storm OF
protest from Germany, but the sum
becomes much smaller when allowance
is made for the fact that payments are
spread over long period Of years.
Value of Total Payment
A calculation worked out by the
actuarial correspondent of TIE London
Times gives the present value Of the
total payment at less than $4,000, ,000,-
900. The question whether 1t Is possi-
bic for Germany to pay s300,0o0,000
gold yearly eleven years hence and
thereafter Is not easily answered now.
AT first examination it seems TO be
impossible, but England was estimated
to have an annual favorable balance on
foreign trade and services account of
frightened at the prospect Of German
New-York tribune., 1921-02-07

payments required by the Allies. II
the export tax is effectively collected
1t would obviously tend to hinder Ger
many's power to pay, but the diff
Guilty in the way of collection is enor-
nous, considering the big land frontier
involved.
Thus the Allied governments. having
eomforted those who fear consequent
German competition, have finally sue
ceeded In demonstrating the enormous
difficulty of making one government
pay big sums to others without dislo-
eating industry in receiving countries
and probably producing an uncorn-
Portable effect on neutrals.
Something has been gained by the
agreement among the Allied leaders to
name definite reparstions terms, leav-
ing the next word with Germany, and
discussion of the matter in business
circles here indicates that if Germany
advances reasonable counter proposals
at the forthcoming London conference
every indication points to the belief
that reasonable settlement will be
effected, although the German indus
trial position is not believed to be
nearly so disordered as government
finance, which is thought to be de-
liberately made chaotic owing to the
natural desire to show the most un-
favorable position possible.
Whole Problem Guesswork
In fact, the whole problem is a mat
ter of guesswork and 1t is impossible
to say what any nation can pay ten
years hence.
The Berlin correspondent of The
Economist says that even some Ger
mans admit that industrial progress
may be such that a generation hence
the present intolerable war burdens
will be hardly felt.
The remarks of J. Austen Chamber
lain, Chancellor Of the Exchequer
forecasting early abolition of the ex-
cess profits duty was welcomed here
but this alone cannot do much to re-
vive trade under present adverse con-
ditions.

competition being stimulated by the
S2o0,o0o,0t)0 in pre-war times. 1t Is
true that large part Of this balance
was composed OF interest due on for
eign investments made during previous
years over long period, but it also is
true that if England had chosen to
work harder and consume less she
could easily have more than doubled
the balance as shown when the war
called for this effort.
Thus it seems barely possible that
Germany, with much larger working
population, might if really determined
make the required payment, especially
as the present level Of prices, if sus-
tanned, would make their task much
easier.
Easier Money Possible
II prices fell, experience shows that
money would become cheaper, thus
enabling Germany to meet the neces-
sary payments by borrowing at favor
able term ss.with loans so arranged and
dated as to mitigate and spread the
effort required.
Thus 1t Is difficult to say that the
task is wholly impossible if Germany
willingly tackled it with an earnest de-
sire of fulhllment, but at present this
seems most unlikely and 1t Is evidently
impossible TO force this great nation
into economic bondage for forty years
by military occupation or otherwise
without producing state Of bitter
ness highly dangerous to the world 9
peace.
Even if this were possible, this eff
fort imposed on Germany would give
her tremendous economic strength and
make her formidable competitor in
neutral and other markets. Consider
alton of this angle probably caused the
curious IL per cent tax on German ex-
ports, and it was apparently designed
to comfort the French.
Protectionists Already Alarmed
British protectionists are already
frightened at the prospect Of German
competition being stimulated by the
