IT'S THE BEST TOWN ON THk
MAP
lBy John c. Wright)

(By John c. Wright
It's not in distant Asia, in Egypt or
Japan,
It's not in France nor Russia nor on
the Isle of Man;
It's not in Greece nor Italy, nor far
away as Nome
It's in this country where you live
the town you call your home
BE always glad to praise it up, no
matter where you are;
Be ready to defend its name and
spread it near and far;
And when you hear some knocker
knock, respond at every rap;
The town where l am living is the
best one on the map"
If any town in which you dwell is
backward, dull or slow,
Why don't you try the boosting plan
and help to make it grow?
It's little use to villify, to kick and
run it down
Such antics never built a shack, nor
ever made a town.
Ii you would have your burg become
a busy growing mart,
Just put your shoulder to the wheel
and help it get a start;
And let this little motto be enshrined
beneath your cap:
The town where | am living is the
best one on the map"

survey of the enormous increase in
German capital industry, and gen
eral financial strength. His general
conclusion was that Germany was
equal in wealth to the most powerful
of her competitors In particular
was the proud comparison made by
Germans with the resources of
France One of the latest official
estimates made before the war placed
the total wealth of Germany at a fig
ure nearly twice that of France.
Germany, of course, lost territory
and resources as a result of the war.
But making allowances for that, her
ability to sustain a public debt must
still be greater than that OF France.
Germany has no ruined factories to
rebuild; no deliberately destroyed
coal mines to put in working order
again; no working population seek
ing their old houses and finding
nothing but debris.
But with all notions of enslaving
or perpetually impoyerishing Ger
many ruled out, it is preposterous to
pr etend that she can not pay in in
demnity at least one-half as much as
the war has cost France

ploding chamber, up to the danger
point of over heating, the greater
the efficiency of the gas used and
power of the enugine. There is this
dissimilarity between two engines,
there will be no explosion, as with
steam, if your gas should run out
regardless of the heated engine, but
your car stops short just the same.
A watch requires a balance wheel
and so it goes clear down the line
OF human endeavor. Something is
required that will give stability and
power.
Under present conditions business
could not expand or be carried on
should each one having money Sc
crete it and keep it out of the banks,
so others needing it could not get
it to finace production, manufactur-
ing and mercantile undertakings.
A full bank is like a full boiler,
it has no power and is rendering no
service to the community more than
the private individual who secretes
his money, but the bank that is loan
ing to just within the danger point
to legitimate business, is rendering
full service and should be backed and
upheld by every depositor.
I feel that our banks are safe and
sound and are rendering full service
to the community and that the de-
positors and all others should use
economy and judgment in expendi-
lures and payments of their obliga-
lions, so that money will be avail
able for production and business
when needed.
I suggest that we pay our taxes
only as the law requires, even for
going the three per cent rebate, and
leave our money for the use of our
community instead of storing it in
other repositories until such time as
is is needed by our state, county and
district departments, from which this
community receives no remuneration
or service.
BY each doing their small part the
whole community will benefit by this
cooperation. I desire to add that
l have no stock in either bank.

LET'S GO

The people of Pullman and vi
cinity are patriotic and grateful and
have long been expressing their de-
sire to honor the memories of the
men from this locality, who laid
down their lives in the recent war,
by the erection of a suitable me-
mortal. What more appropriate me-
mortal could be erected than a fine
building in which the comrades of
these departed heroes will be pro-
vided with adequate and permanent
headquarters?
The people of Pullman and vi
cinity are progressive and ready to
support any project which will pro-
mote the welfare of the community
and make it a better place in which
to reside. What would add more to
the pleasure and convenience of the
residents of the city and adjacent
country than a well arranged COM
munity building, containing a large
hall which could be used for a gym
nasium, ball room and auditorium,
an attractive lobby where business
men and farmers could meet their
friends a comfortable rest room and
lavatory where the wives and chill
dren of the farmers or of auto tour
lists could make themselves at home,
and committee rooms suitable for the
meetings of small groups?
Such a memorial community build
ing is no longer a possibility but a
probability, and the developments of
the next few weeks promise to make
it a certainty. Plans for financing
the project have been carefully
worked out, much preliminary work
has been accomplished, and every
thing has been arranged for launch
ing the campaign to raise the neces-
sary funds. The money required can
be raised without working a hard
ship on anyone and everybody who
invests is sure to receive big divi-
dends in satisfaction and pleasure.
Each member of the community will
share in the benefits and each one
should do his or her bit toward put
ting over the project
The objective to be reached has
been fixed, the plan of action has
been determined, the zero hour has
been set, the leaders have taken their
assigned posts. Let's go.

PAYING THE PIPER

Germany started war for worlu
dominion and, having been defeated,
is now trying to eyade paying the
penalty. Her leaders plead that the
reparation demanded by the allies is
out of reason and can not possibly
be met
The reparation fixed is heavy, but
when compared to the vast expense
incurred and the damage sustained
by France, it seems comparatively
light. In discussing this phase of
the matter the New York Times per-
tinently says:
There are various ways of arriv-
ing at an approximate figure. One
of them is to compare the burdens
and resources of France with those
Of Germany. Nobody could object TO
the general thesis that it is just for
Germany to carry as heavy a finan-
cial load, in consequence of the war,
as France is compelled to shoulder.
Glance, then, at the French public
debt in 1913 and in 1920. Follow
ing the compilation OF o. p. Austin
of the National City bank it was So
346, 900 900 seven years ago; today
1t is $46,025, 200, 000 This is exclu-
slye of the recent public loan, 1t
includes the ,300,000,000 owed by
France to England and the United
States. Here, then, is clear proof that
the war cost France fully 100000
100000. Yet Germany is crying out
that it is impossible and wicked to
require of her war indemnity of
present value of less than 100000
100000.
Germany, to be sure, has a great
~ increased public debt of her own
II is now reckoned at more than $780,
eco, 100000. But this is almost
wholly an internal debt. And Ger
many agreed TO that provision of the
Treaty of Versailles which made the
war indemnity due from her a
charge upon all her revenues prior
to that for the service or discharge
of any domestic loan The latter is
her own affair. to be adjusted with
her own citizens.
Furthermore, it may be conf
IDENTIFY argued that, even if Germany
were to arrange for paying off her
internal debt, her resources are am
pie to bear the additional burden OF
war indemnity of 10000, 900.
From the Germany of today, pleading
the poor debtors act, we may appeal
to the Germany of 1913, making a
boast of her national wealth. In
that year Karl Helfferich, afterward
minister of finance, published a vol.
ume entitled 'Deutschlends Volks
Wohlstand.' II was an impressive

THE SCHOOL CODE

The school code commission re-
grets very much that the school code
bill failed of passage in the senate
by one vote, but it does not believe
that its work has been failure.
On the contrary, it believes that the
controversy over the revision of the
school code has Quickened the pub
lie interest in the common school
system of the state and will result
in careful study and analysis OF
the findings of the commission.
Once the details of the commission S
plan are thoroughly understood and
the weaknesses and inefficiency of
the present system are thrown into
clear relief there can be no question
regarding its acceptance. If the pub
lie school system of Washington is
TO be saved from bankruptcy and
ruin, a complete reorganization must
be effected. The present defeat is
but temporary. The opportunity for
reorganization is crowded few
months into the future.
The commission approached its
task with a sincere desire to discover
the defects of the present system and
to present TO the legislature an eff
fectiye remedy, 1t discovered ma

CONGRESSIONAL CLUB
ITO HAVE GAY SEASON

THE Congressional Club. which
with each passing year wields
a greater influence and fills a more
important place In the scheme OF
things, has a greatly augmented
usefulness in a new Administration
and viii be one Of several agencies
promoting fellowship and good
feeling among the women Of official
life this season. The club will give
a reception on January 16 for the
President and Mrs. Harding. A little
later in the season it will entertain
for the Vice President and Mrs.
Coolidge and after that will come
a reception In honor Of the Speaker
and Mrs. Gillett. And the weekly
informal tea parties. the dances
and card parties, which the mem
bers find so enjoyable, will be re-
sumed.
The first of the Friday afternoon
tea parties. in fact, will take place
this week with the four women
members of the advisory committee
Of the American conference delega-
ton as the guests of honor. Each of
them-Mrs. Eleanor Franklin Egan,
Mrs. Thomas c. Winter, Mrs. Kath-
crime Phillips Edson and Mrs.
Charles Sumner Bird-will give ten
minute addresses.
The club members have another
treat in store for them. for on Tues
day morning at IL o'clock Lord Rid
dell, chief of the British press serv-
ice, will address the members. Lord
Riddell is one Of the greatest news
paper proprietors In the British
Isles and one of the most picturesque
figures in British Journalism. More
over, he has come close to the Amer
lean people in general and the Amer
can newspaper fraternity In partic-
ular through his work as liaison or
ficer between the British delegation
and the press. The esteem in which
he is held by the Fourth Estate Is
bespoken by the testimonial dinner
the newspaper men-and women
of all nations assembled here for the
conference are rendering him to-
night on the eve Of his departure.
But that, as Mr.. Kipling says, is
another story.
