was careworn beyond telling, and Mrs.

her saw tear fall from beneath her

woman wiped away with a corner Of

Allen Ford had never looked more

his own affairs, all Of which shows the difference between
national and personal moral conduct.
The total amount appropriated by Congress for the fiscal
year of 1923, which began July |, IS $3,747 ,~935382.6l. This is

rally is problcmatcal.
The preliminary estimate Of total cxcenditures for the current
year is $3,77 ,2J8,t52 or 24,223,139.36 more than has been APP
propriated. The preliminary estimate of total receipts for the
current year is $301},6253l1. This of course indicates a
deficit at the end Of this year of $G732l0,O71.64. At the close Of
the last fiscal year there was a balance on hand OF ~$212,1O5,
51263.
In this way the government goes calmly ahead with the GER
tainty of a deficit so far as human minds can foresce, but yet
with the knowledge that there is a good gamblers chance that
things Will come out all right. Heart is taken from the fact
that the estimated receipts fer 1929 were exceeded and antici-
paed expenditures were $7j9,000 900 less.
No Individual or corporation Of course would dare conduct
its business in such q way, yet there is little else the government
can do unless a still heavier tax burden be placed on the people

heavy enough, as heavy in fact, as they are unscientifc. 9

q H~AKESPEARE wrote the greatest Of all advertising truths
when through his character of Cassie he said: Good name
in man or woman, dear my lord, is the immediate jewel OF the
soul"
The greatest properties in the world have been built on the
foundation Of good name. Reputation and honor bring more
interest than any capital that can be invested in business.
More important still, they form an absolute guarantee for the
Buyer.
There are single words, single names, that today are worth
untold millions of dollars. Sheffield suggests cutlery Of quality.
Dresden brings chinaware to mind. Venice vlsualizes glass
ware, Nottingham pictures faces, and Paris-weu, Paris fashions
have become an international by-word.
These are the names of cities whose workmen have built char
acter by living up to reputation.
Does any man question Gobelin tapestry, the Damascus blade,
the violin of Cremona, or of more recent times, the product OF
Tifany2
Business men and private individuals interested in the value
to them of the art of advertising will do well to remember these
facts. They were brought out forcefully in a speech delivered
recently in Atlantic City by Earl d. Babst. Mr.. Babst explained
that populations of value attach to localities as much as to lndi-
yiirais and corporations.
.tThe greatest asset in the world is good vii" said Mr..
Babst.
"Good will, in the simple terms of American business, is
good reputation.
. The average citizen who buys, but does not manufacture or

SELLER. 1t makes HIM known, it makes HIM rich, it increases
HIS business. But what good does adver!ieing do MET
Advertising is more valuable even to the buyer than to the
seller. For in a business established by advertising that has cost

. greater tribute Las ever been paid to ito women Of
~ America than is found in the calm analytlcol report OF
the fact that widows and self supporting mothers sent 153
sons aud daughters to the University this fall TO join the fresh
man class. Mothers registered % sons and 90 daughters.
Now learn the story Of the self sacrifice OF these mothers.
One hundred and twenty-five were housewives, > were nurses, 8

as children is the Kingdom OF Heaven.
Fathers who sent boys to college embraced a variety OF the
most mental calings.
Sucb is the American melting pot. Such is the hunger for
education TO provide education that w'Ilft the rising generation
for better things than father or mother ever knew. From the
seeds Of sacrifice may come to us in a single generation develop

The Mellette County pioneer. [volume] (Wood, Mellette County, S.D.) 19??-1971, 1923-02-16

Senator Arthur Cappcr ot Kansas, Ch4iman Of the farm
bloc, says: "Thc lee station which lMt be enacted in The near
future to help cure the agricultural situation is in no sense class
legislation. Agrcu'. urr is the on'y foundation upon WHICH the
state and nation can securely ust.'
Cappcr also insists that Congress must put through the
complete rural credit pIal and it must pass a constitutional
amendment prohibiting taNcTo ptaccuriticS.
The programme is ambitions, but in the main sound and
constructive. Evidently the farmer, however, has come to see
the evil effect Of i|ncluitale an unscentifc taxation.
In orr hunger for moncv we created the taX-eXempt security
and urged the rich to absorb it. When we discovered that the
wealth from which business and farmers must draw their loans
was withdrawn from its productive function and thrown en-
ma&se into tay-eNcmpt securities we realized the fault.
The taX-eXempt security is an c~xpcdient makeshift appeal
that this country does not and never has needed. Had Secre.
tary McAdoo advertised the several Liberty Bond issues in a
busincsslikc way instead Of depending on a spurious patriotic
press agent free advertising exploitation of United States securi-
ties, our finances would be in "A different condition today.
Abclahing taX-cXempt securities is a wise thought. but get
ting down to equitable taxation is a just thought and justice
must prevail.
