The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1922-08-24

REPUBLICAN,
the thought that he does not feel
much interest in his farm work and
may not be very successful; then too
the man who goes to the circus and
bucks the little gambling divices al
ways makes Mr.. Steele think that II
he were in the banking business he
would not be willing to back that
man very far in his enterprises, for
he might gamble in everything that
he does, or take chances where they
are not justified. He says he can
see good many reasons why bank
ers turn them down when they
apply for loans and these might be
some of them; then too he says he
believes that good many farmers
when they owe the bank note,
when it comes due and they are un-
able to pay, do not go and make
peace with the banker before, but
go in perhaps week afterwards to
ask for an extension of time or re-
newal. He says he thinks that men
should remember that the day a
note is due is the time it should be
paid, and if they see in advance that
they can not pay it, they should be
there at that time to make arrange
ments for an extension or to give
themselves time to 60 and secure
other loans to pay the note. If such
things as that are attended to care
fully it protects mans credit and
his good name in business transac-
tions. and this has considerable
value. A good many men act as tho
they did not regard their credit or
good name as of any value and they
destroy it and then complain be-
cause they can not secure loans
from the bank.
