An apportionment committee of .
dozen or fifteen men we're selected
and put to work on the study of the
ability Of the Blackfoot firms to
make loans of this kind. and they
worked nearly all day Tuesday COM
pleting the lists and fixing the
amounts for the respective firms. In
some cases, where the firms had been
hard hit by the bank failure and
were staggering under the blow. the
assessment was made very light ana
there were some generous ones who
asked that their own assessment be
raised. and others less fortunate be
spared from the severity of the
draft. The assessment committee
necessarily resolved itself into q
court of inquiry, and 1t was cheered
by the report that clerks, stenog-
raphers, office girls and mechanics.
who had studied the matter had
signified their intention OF doing
without some things and putting
some Of their wages into the COW
buying q share or two
1t $40 apiece. That was one OF the
very encouraging features OF the
DAYS work, to find that employees
show a disposition to share in carry |
ing the burdens of their employers
and the burdens of the patrons and
of their employers, the
disposition to stand together for the
common good. Il
Many farmers and owners OF real
estate, both in town and country,
who have studied the matter, have
said that the dairy industry has
proved such valuable thing to sta
bilize real estate values, that II they
had no other reason for loaning the
money than to keep their neighbors
from staying poor and thus depress-
ng the price of property, it would be
sufficient reason for loaning some
money to the project without inter-
EST.
There will be persons, who read
his article, whose names are not
IN the assessment list by reason OF
oversight, who can spare the price
II one or more shares for this en-
erprise, and who will consider 1t as
afe In this investment as it would
,e il deposited in a bank or in
POSTAL certificate drawing or 5 per
ent, and they could make the
nance committee very happy by
inging up any member named above
nd subscribing to the fund. One !
hare bought voluntarily by phone or
nail, has a greater moral value to
he committee than two or three I
hares bought under solicitation, so !
Sc the phone, and don't be timed I
bout getting a committeeman out 7
( bed at night to receive the offer. I
his county is going to be very proud
t the newsboy and the working t
irl, who ring up to get on the list |
f the COW cOmpany's capitalists. s
