Business Conditions
In the Northwest
By ELMER f. DAVIS
President of the First National Bank,
Of Fergus Falls, MINI.

From what / can learn from reading
financial papers and talking with fin
ancial men from other parts of the
county, Minnesota, North and South
Dakota. and part of Montana form
a sort Of financial depression or pot
hole, and the rest of the country is
not affected as this section is. Every
where in the industrial centers they
are prOclaiming prosperity. This is
true in Detroit, in and around New
York city and in the southern part
of California.
1t is perfectly easy to understand
why conditions are hard here in the
northwest. For the past five years,
there has been a tremendous outgo of
cash to other parts of the country
and very little has been brought back.
If one will survey the situation, he
will find that practically everything
that these three northwestern states
have to sell is the product of the soil
A very large portion of such manu-.
factoring as is done in the territory
ard it is not large, is to supply thi:
particular territory so that no outside
money is drawn into it.
Millions for Gasoline
We draw nothing from Texas anC
Oklahoma and the southwest, to which
sections we have sent millions of dol
lars for oil and gasoline. We draw
I nothing from Ohio and the tire mar
u~facturing sections, to which we hav
| sent as much as we have to Othe
p parts for oil and gasoline. There ha
: been a constant stream of currenc
: flowing out of this territory to De
troit, and other automobile center'
but the automobile and it's accessorie
5 are not the only line which have bee
q exhausting US. Every manufacturin
g center has been making somethin
, which it has sold in this territory fC
> which it was paid in currency. tn
O lcash has been sucked out of US
|, though with a vacuum cleaner. t.
balance Of trade has been against I
70 and until we produce and m%anufactul
a enough so that we draw from 9TH
rs portions of the county, we are goir
IF to feel the embarrassment which
as shortage of cash always creates.
70 This situation has been intensifi
ir by short crops, and shrinking pric
v in many cases, but on the whole t
prices which we have received t
what we have produced are high
oil than they used to be and are probaf
ng as high we can hope for. While pl

It a low price, we have been purchase

profit. In the early stages some
made a profit and their success al
ways invited additional deals, and in
the final outcome they were caught
with land which they did not want
and for which they could not cOmfOr-
tably pay. This is not only true in
this immediate section, hut in every
section where there has been activity
in speculation.

Disastrous Speculation

need for irrigation purposes. A meet

the Middle creek school house on Sat,

1t is a step in the right direction
and should be followed by other farm

tiles, as it would be the means OF
not only avoiding endless litigation
but would insure more excellent crops
in the future.

at the very top prices. This applies
to everything which we have bought;
the lumber which has gone into our
houses and barns, the coal which we
burn in u stoves and furnaces;
and the clothing which we have
worn on our backs, and the shoes
which we have worn on our feet, as
we'll as the cost of transporting all of
these, which has been higher than it
has eve been before. Only one result
can follow such a condition and that
is that the community which is pro-
ducing lower priced stuff is going to
feel the pinch of hard times.
When our new senator, Magnus
Johnson, was being exploited on his
recent visit in the east, he said a
great many foolish things, but he said
one thing which was true and well
worth while. He said that the farm
ers of the northwest did not need
more credit, but less credit, and toe
much credit had aided IN putting them
into the dilemma in which they now
find themselves.
It is only fifty years since the
/ settlement and development of tn,
Northwest began. They found it fire.,

t sources which the ages had stored up

Bound to the Limit

For fifty years we have been on
stantly drawing on the fertility of the
soil. Our forests have been wanton-
~ wasted and tremendous drafts
made on our ore, but the distressing
thing is that while we have been draw
ing on these resources we have run
tremendously in debt. We have
mortgaged our land for all that we
could get and counties, u cities,
our villages and school districts
have bonded themselves to the limit.
Prosperity always reigns when the
proceeds Of a mortgage or a bond is
sue is being spent but there are al
ways tough times when they are be-
ing paid. What makes conditions
grievous now is that debts and interest
must be paid when the soil is stripped
of its pristine fertility and no longer
yields the harvest of its early days
Bonds and mortgages and Interest
must be paid when yields are light
prices low and operating expenses
high.

Get Deeper in Debt

If a careful survey was made OF in
dividual cases in the northwest, l be-
lieve that it would result in finding
; that more than eighty and possibly
ninety per cent of all the people are
in debt much deeper than they were
ten years and five years ago. There
was a time when many farms in this
section were not mOrtgaged. The
pioneers who had opened them up
and developed them and built barns,
by struggling and hardships paid off
the debts 1t has been the second
generation which inherited what the
first created, which has put the mort
cages upon the farms. There are
many, many cases where the debts
are not only for the improvements
upon the farm, but the increased
| value of the land has been mOrtgaged
l and absorbed as fast as it has in
= cresaed, so that the land has not only
' had to carry its operating expenses
= under adverse conditions, but it has
had to pay the interest upon the ad-
ditiOnal debt load.
S There has been no desire to get
out of debt. The important question
= has not been can a lower rate OF IN
), terest be obtained, but a a larger
S loan be secured. This tendency and
n desire to get into debt has been ir-
g resistible and it has been useless to
g advise and caution. You might as

CHICAGO, Aug. 7.-Buoyant youth sobered bit by murder hearing, efl. tered the courtroom of Justice John R Cavrly Thursday to bolster up the eff fort of the defense to save Nathan F Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb from the gallows.
 More bewitching than any of Loeb's dream.maidens, Miss Lorraine Nathan once his sweetheart, took the stand to try to save the life of the youth for whom she once "cared." Her appear ance on the stand, and her pulchritude interested the spectators fully as much as any portion of the astonishing Franks case.
 It took the sight of his former asso- ciates, and the knowledge that they were allowing their names to be dragged i1.o the case, to break Loeb's spirit. For the first time since the hearing to determine whether mitigating circum- stances attended the slaying of IA year-old Robert Franks, Loeb lost his habitual sheer.
 Loeb Loses Sheer
 As Miss Nathan passed him on her way from the witness chair, following a severe grilling by States Attorney Robert 0. Grove, Loeb partially broke down. Quickly he brushed away a tear that had stolen down his face. It all happened in a second, but that moment revealed lot to those watching the youth and the girl who once loved him.
