Article No. Ga

In Article No. 60 l put forward seven of the
ten ARTICLES of Faith of the new Great Falls
: organization-The Montana Organization and
Development Company. In Article No. 60 it
was promised that l would also explain the
necessity for practical Cooperation"
There are two reasons why business houses
do not succeed:
/. Incompetent, unprogressive or uneducat-
ed management.
2. Lack of capital.
During the war and back of that time, bust
ness men gave little real consideration to their
capital requirements. In fact, even now, very
few business men know how to determine their
capital needs. Hitherto they have tried to op-
crate on whatever capital they happened to
have, depending on their trade credit and their
banks to supply the deficit.
But in the REIMBURSEMENT which has followed
the war, banks have found it necessary to elm
mate capital loans" And business men,
thrown back on their own and generally made
quate resources, have been confronted with the
struggle which has of necessity resulted from
insufficient capital. What this has meant in
anxiety, complications, often humiliation and
always restricted operations-all too many bus
mess nen know.
One of the offices of Efficiency Engineering
is to supply sufficient capital to businesses that
can be successfully conducted and made to pay
dividends. And the first step in this undertake
ing is to determine the amount of capital which
a business requires. We will use a retail store
as an illustration.
Suppose a retail store has, say $4,000 invest
ed in furniture and fixtures, average merchan-
disc stock of S25, 900, has on it's books outstand-
ing accounts receivable averaging $4,000 and
requires for current operating expenses a min
imum constant cash balance of $4,000. On the
basis of these figures it's minimum capital
necessity, allowing nothing for development, is
$500.
And unless such a business has an actual cap
itai of that amount, embarrassment of some sort
is sure to follow. The merchant has no right
to look to his bank for any of this money be-
cause these necessities are permanent, and it is
not the business of a bank to supply capital
loans.
Very many businesses are suffering from
just this condition-insufficient capital-and
are trying to correct their difficulties by i'm
possible remedies. In Article No. Is l will ex-
plain how this necessity can be supplied, and
businesses that are now suffering from lack of
capital, made comfortable to their managers
and profitable to their shareholders.

EARLY IN SESSION
Laborite Leader Expected to
Inject Question Into
British Houses.

aondon, Nov. % (By The Associa-
ted Press).-The opening of the bus
mess session Of parliament Thursday
quickly revealed what is likely to be
the paramount question in both houses,
apart from Irish legislation, for which
the session was especially called. The
keynote of this was struck in the
kings speech-unemployment.
As soon as the time -honored cere-
monies incident to the state opening
of parliament were concluded. and
before the new parliament really set
tied down to its duties, it became evi-
dent that the governments hope of linz
iting the discussions to the Irish bill
would be disappointed. Labor. through
its new parliamentary leader, j. Ram
say Macdonald, imm ediately fastened
on to the governmental confession in
the kings speech that it has no new
question. but depends only upon an
examination of the late coalition gov
ernment's proposed remedies.
The tenor Of the opposition speeches
in the debate on the address was to
press the prime minister to receive an

ever. Mr.. Bonar Law seems deter
mined not to do. In further reply to

ton strictly by his legal prominence,
and not by any discharge of federal
duties.

president an unstinted recommendation
