THOSE EoREIdN LOANS

Probably no matter Defore tne
public Is Of greater interest to our
national prosperity than that Of the
loans to our allies. What shall we
do with them-collect or cancel!
Two ideas are extant on the matter
but congress has ordered and the
president has appointed a commits
sion to collect, In some manner. The
Commerce Monthly in an article on
the subject declares that even this
does not settle the large question OF
international obliHation: "Foreign
government owe the United States
approximately s11. 900. 900, 600 large
Iy payable on demands. On Febru-
ary o the president signed bill
creating q commission to arrange the
refunding OF these obligations. The
commission Is specifically empowered

cations Of any foreign government

WHAT Is THRIFT?

Do You really understand just
what thrift means? Many people do
not. TOO many consider the word
as a synonym for boarding or for
stinginess. 1t means nothing OF the
kind. TO practice thrift does not
mean that you must put Il paddock
on your pOcketbook.
The Joplin (M0) Globe hits the
nail squarely on the head when 1t
says: "If you can buy city lot for
5000 that is really worth 800 more.
and IL you have the 5000 available,
1t is plain that 1t wouldn't be thrift
to refuse to make the Investment.
And II you can buy an Overcoat for
$50 that will cost you $25 or $50
next fall, when you are going to have
to buy one. 1t would be unthrifty not
to make the investment"
Thrift means taking advantage of
money making opportunities. But it
also means refraining from those
useless expenditures that keep your
pOcketbook so thin you cannot make
Investments when they are offered.
One of the best methods Of prac-
ticing thrift is to keep your dollars
everlastingly Oh the job. The aver
age citizen has for many years looked
with horror upon the extravaganza
of our national, state or county gov
ernments. but never seemed to stop
and think that governments are only
rejecting the spirit OF the individ-
uals that 60 to make them up. When
ever the American people really be-
gin to practice thrift in their every.
day lives, then they will insist on
having that sort Of government As
It is today, the Federal Government
Is really taking the lead In the prac.
tice Of thrift. President Harding Is
insisting on policy Of the strictest
economy In governmental expendi-
lures, and he Is being backed mp ito
the limit by the Bureau Of the Budget
and the House and Senate Commit
tees on Appropriations.
Unfortunately, America still Is
looked upon as spendthrift Nation.
Many good citizens do not enjoy the
reputation Of being thrifty. On the
other hand, there are,e"iof course,
many who are steadily forging ahead.
But the big majority continue to op-
crate in hand.to- mouth fashion,
spending today what they make to-
day, or perhaps what they expect to
make tomorrow.

d y
much about the 'country's fcondition
Take the resumes of the ccnditipn Of
national banks OF December 31 and
the comment Of the sensible COM
ptroller of the currency.
The figures themselves. showing
the resources Of the national banks
Of the country mt that time to DC
1920, 200, 900 exclusive OF redis'
counts, an Increase Of $408, 600, ,OOO
compared with the preceding state
ment, may not be so convincing u
the layman as this official declara'
tion from the White House:
"The condition OF the banks show
the most satisfactory turn In the
financial affairs or the country that
has been registered by bank state
ment since the conclusion Of 1919.
at demonstrates that the pro-
cesses of Liquidation have been pro-
ceeding at such an excellent rate
that It may fairly be said that we
are well on the road to getting the
frozen crcdis' thawed out. In this
regard, indeed, It Is by far the most
satisfactory showing that has been
made since the phrase frozen cred
It's was invented"
Il Is carefully pointed out--what
may not be universally knOwn-that
the national banks represent consid-
erabIe less than half the total bank
ing capacity Of the hAdon. The as
Sumption therefore is easoueble, that
the state, savings and prtsate banks
and trust companies n4y< exper-
fenced the same turn the tide
noted In the case q the national
banks, whose figures may safely be
doubled to reflect the financial condi-
tion Of the country at large.
"Under any anlysis," the state
ment declares, "the figures -undoubt-
edly demonstrate that tSs-peak OF
liquidation and consequent depres-
sion was passed s6mewhesessetween
September last and December 81
last, and the tendency has been
steadily toward improving business
and less reliance OF business upon
the support Of the banks.
"Of precisely like tenor are recent
adyices from the war finance corpOr-
alton, which reports progressive H.
auidatiOn Of its loans and a general
Improvement Of conditions In the
agricultural industry. Recent sta
bilization Of prices for agricultural
staples have brought the farmers to
the point where they are able to real
ixe something at least apprOximat-
ing costs of production, and can look
forward hopefully to still further i'm
provements In no very distant fu-
ture."

Mitchell county Is preparing to
hire accountants to check over c0un-
ty offices. Dickinson just spent $2,-
900 for that purpose and found no
irregularities except clerical errors
which in the total about balanced,
some officers owing the county a few
dollars and some having money COM
lag to them. It may be good plan
to have an audit once while that
the people may be certain Of condi-
tions, but a better plan would be an
annual audit by the commissioners
themselves which ought not to be
expensive. It is done in the treas
urer's office and other offices ought
to be as easy to check. The fact is
that the average county official Is
honest, does his level best to keep
everything straight--not one In hun
6reds ever tries to do otherwise. He
may make mistake in adding OF
subtracting but the vast portion OF
public business Is conducted on the
square. II II were not 80. we would
have no business methods any where
under which we could operate.

TAXPAYERS LEAGUE FORMED
e. Geoffroy ID Elected President ana
S. M. Page Secretary

5. M. rage secretary
A county taxpayers organization
was formed Saturday afternoon by
about $50 men who met at the higi
school auditorium. The larger por'
tion were farmers with a number
from town. o. M. Johnson called
the meeting to order.
| w. NJ. LAmbertson.- candidate fol
governor and speaker Of the house
was present. He advised forming
an organization and said that taxes
can be reduced. State institutions
On be run for. some less and boards
for considerably less. In answer Il
question as to the cost OF the IN
dustrial court the CORNER speaker Of
the house said he did not know but
he was In favor OF combining 1t will
the public utilities commission.
q. S. Crawford then talked. He
read the bill Of costs Of the last IN
auguration Of governor, about W.
900, and declared 1t wasted. The IN
dustrial court, he said, cost $11S,OOO
year and according to the appro'
priations and has accomplished moth
ing. He said 1t could be combined
with the utilities commission az
originally and criticised the legisla-
tors for appropriating themselves
$3.50 each for postage. He declared
that the county commissioners should
not receive $3.50 a month but 20
a day and expenses. He also said
the expense of notices Of primary
are too large and that the county
assessor should be paid less.
ID. Geoffroy was elected president
Of the county league; s. Goldsmith,
vice president; 8. M. Page, secretary.
A committee appointed by the chair
selected these ten delegates to attend
the state meeting March 0 at Tope-
ka: II. Geoffroy, A. s. Merrill, G. l..
Blue, B. f. Landis, J. e. MinlcK
O. M. Johnson, Fred LOnghofer, n.
J. Logan, H. Shippy, w. r. Waring'
Mr.. GeoffrOy said he could not go
and c. S. Crawford was named but
refused. A. $. Merrill refused to go.
Finally each was allowed to name
an alternate. VIM. Latszke was sub
stituted for G.. l.. Blue. Several OF
the delegates named were not pres
ent
It was voted to have meetings
called in each township at which two
vice presidents for each township
should be elected, one Republican
and one Democrat.
The meeting then adjourned to
meet March %.
County Clerk Kipk had been In
vited to attend to give information
on tax rates, expenses, etc, and
came with books of record but he
was not called on. Commissioners
J. A. Engler was also present to tell
of county expenditures but he was
not asked to speak.

Have you been over the two new
bridges built by the county In east
Dickinson, one at Chapman and one
four miles west? They are good
examples Of bridges built to stay and
have the right look. The Peterson
bridge, about which there was much
discussion, is approached by probably
the best kept dirt roads in the coun-
ty and takes vast amount Of travel,
proving its need for rich farm sec
tion. Both bridges are credit to the
good sense of the commissioners.

with all the records necessary to
answer any questions about county
expenses. County Commissioner
Engler (and. perhaps other members
of the board) was present ready TO
explain anything the public wished
to know Of his department. Both the
county clerk and county commission
or were ignored and not asked to
make any statement. It would seem
