The Cost of Our Local improvements
Above the Commonwealth

From all parts of the country come reports OF great activity
IN towns and villages in the matter of public improvement. Moth
ing could be more encouraging providing the problem IS sens-
bly, attacked, but if your villages begin to run wild and act with
out a proper perspectiveof finance then many OF them are brew
ing serious trouble. Taxation is on the jump almost every
where. The amount of taxes now paid by the American people
IS larger than the whole foreign trade of the United States both
incoming. The sum total of taxation is four times as great as
the American profit on all foreign trade.
In Germany is heard the cry that taxation has brought utter
ruin to the people. We hear the echo from France, and also
from England. Let US not forget that the l; y Of economics IS
not national. 1t is universal. America cannot escape the effect
OF exchange taxation any more than can Great Britain or the
b~enighted Choaktongs Of Passamaquaddy.
The business of the world today needs more capital than ever.
The trouble is the man on the street does not grasp the first rules
OF national business building.
With restricted capital business cannot expand. 1t requires
more money to harvest and market a hundred acre crop than It
does a ten acre crop and if American industry is to expand and
prices be kept within the normal, liquid capital and legitimate
credit must be increased. We cannot have our cake and eat it.
If the money of the nation is spent because of a sudden craze for
Improvements something else will have to go by the board.

Steering Business Ships to Success

Fred P. Mann is a drygoods merchant in Devils Lake, North
Dakota. He sells a half million dollars worth of goods every
year in a town of five thousand population. He has built his
business from nothing. His capital has been intelligence. He
stands today an inspiration for any small town merchant who
seeks to build a paying business on a sound foundation.
There are thousands of merchants who flop along without any
de- ute aim except. an instructive desire to accomplish. These
are the merchandising derelicts. The ship that reaches port in
time to win the cargo is one that is steered with a definite pur-
pose and along a course thoroughly charted.
Mr.. Mann frankly says his success is one of two thIngs-sen-
sible buying and vigorous newspaper advertising. He spends
more money in newspaper advertising than any small merchant
IN the United States. The answer is he does more business than
any small merchant in the United States.
Half the local merchants in small towns see in advertising
nothing but typographical announcements. The money they
waste in direct by mail advertising is astounding. There is not
e skilled advertising man in the whole of the United States who
uses a direct-by-mail advertising except as a supplement to the
newspaper. Without the newspaper the rest is useless. IF we fail
10 learn by the experience of others who have succeeded than w
III behind in the march of progress.

THE CHURCH BLACKHAND

As has been said by many who
are students of the condition. there
are two tendencies that are work.
1ng together to disrupt all orthodox
evangelical denominations. These
Two forces might properly be called
false teaching and au%toeracy.
The false teacher has been in the
church since the first century. lie
tried to destroy with his false doc-
trine the little group of Christians
who began in the first century. AM
since that time he has been march,
ing cross the continents of time.
The nationalist is compelled to set
up a human gospel, a piece Of all
nan machinery, and to build 2 :
little bureaus in order that he may
advance his cause. He is corr :
at heart, designing in his motives,
autocratic in his methods, bureau
cratic in his government.
A great many of those who are
teaching and who have taught false
doctrines have taught them because
they wanted to reduce Gods stand
ard and mode of living. or because
they have never become ~regenerated
Christians.
The false teachers and the advo-
Gates of the vicious doctrines are
perfectly willing to use money,
political machinery, or any other
means that they can devise, to de-
stroy the influence and power Of the
great Christian leaders of the Gay.
They use every method of chieaIery
to keep such ministers out OF pull
pits, tc prevent their being called
to permanent pulpits, and to deprive
them of leadership in their denomi-
nations.
No regenerated nan has ever de-
MED or will ever deny the deity OF
Christ. Therefore, any such denial
on the part of any man who claims
to be a minister of the gospel iS
prima facie evidence that he mas
never been r~egenerated.
These false teachers and ration
alistic agents enter our denomina-
tons and try to destroy our churcl
governments and establish theT
Nero-like autocratic, bureaucratic
government Of destruction.

COUNTY TAXES
ARE REDUCED.
But School Hike Keeps
Us Still in Dumps. 1t
Compares with 1922.

County taxes are to be appreciably
lower next year, according to the Of
fetal levy made on Monday, the 18th,
by County Commissioners Sullivan,
Knowles and Mergelman, who met to
verify the figures worked out at their
meeting two weeks ago.
The total county levy, exclusive of
the high schools, is go mills as
against 1925 for the year just passed.
However, the county high school tax
is raised from l.10 mills to 1.3O,
which makes only net gain Of .35 mills,
or approximately 30 cents on each
thousand dollar valuation. As the
state tax is also lowered by the
half-mill road tax abolished, it would
seem to aggregate a sensible reduc-
tion.
However, this is all lost in Gunni-
son, by the raise in taxes of school
District No. I, which has a seven mill
levy instead Of six, as last year. In
fact, the net will be increased in taxes,
as usual, to say nothing of the hike
in assessment values in our city by
Assessor Haymaker. In some dis
tncts net reduction Of taxes will
result, especially in Crested Butte.
News Champion has worked out a
comparison Of the levy with last year,
study of which will show where the
saving has been made, and where in
creases are added. The school districts
levy will appear next week.

A very successful sale in point of
attendance and interest, but rather
unsatisfactory prices, is the opinion
Of the is Gunnison stockmen who re-
turned this week from the big auc-
ton sale put on at Marshalltown, Iowa
last week Thursday.
The weather was not Of the best,
and what was worse, high priced corn
and disinclination of the Iowa bank
ers to back their feeders was re-
sponsiblc for part Of the slow bid
ding. The sale was an innovation
for stockmen and created great
deal of interest in Iowa, where it was
widely advertised along with three
other sales the same week, all put OIL
by the Kraschel Auction Co. Texas
stock owners have been selling in this
fashion to Illinois feeders for some
years and making q success Of it..
Stockyards at Denver, Kansas City,
st. Joe and Chicago all had represen-
tatives on the ground to watch pro-
ceedings. There We're approximately
1900 Colorado cattle sold at each of
the four sales during the week and
the withdrawal Of 5000 head from the
Denver market, put up prices there
to an appreciable extent, and of
course, made comparison difficult, al
tho it did look as though the returns
were not as good as they could have
received at home. Expenses were
heavy for the long trip, altho the
two trainloads made passenger time
to Marshalltown. leaving here on the
9th, feeding at Pueblo and Osawato-
mie, Kans., and arriving on the 18th.
