REDUCING PUBLIC DEBT

During the last four years the public debt of
Our Country has been reduced some $3 198000-

ment has been reduced from S999,000,000 to $685.

Speaking before the regular semi-annual
meeting of executive officials of the government,
President Coolidge said
"The people of this nation nave been not
only patient under the heavy burden of war tax
ation they have been heroic. Their burden of
taxation has been greatly lightened, but our fight
must be for further reduction of the burden of
the people.
Our nation is prosperous. It's prosperity is
due largely to the economy which has been effect
ed in the cost of government It's economy that
has encouraged business, abolished unemploy-
ment, made wages high and work plentiful. It is
this economy which has enabled Us since 1921 to
reduce the public debt so materially 1t is this
economy which has enabled the reduction in
taxes"

THE SPIRIT OF WASHINGTON :

Great leaders of the world leave ideals that
live long in the hearts of deserving posterity
Great men and noble women who have lived,
served and sacrificed for humanity, build monu-
ments of character and achievement that stand as
emblazoned guide posts to higher and nobler
goals.
In celebrating the birthday of George Wash
ington every true American who feels the tinge of
national pride and patriotic consciousness must
also feel something of the spirit of Washington
who so justly deserves the title of Father of Our
Country"
1t was the Washington spirit that brought
into being the great nation. Patriots in his time
as we'll as before him, manifested courage and
determination that dared to give birth to a new
empire on the shores of the unsettled and un-
known North America But the triumphs over
odds of climate, soil and wilderness, the mastery
over perils of beast and savage, and finally the
emergence from the long Colonial struggle, found
embodiment in the life and leadership-the spirit
of George Washington Such patriotism made
him the first President of the United States But
1t has done more than that it has been an nspira-
tlon to every boy and girl, father and mother,
every citizen, in the land.
To those of his time, Washington was sol
dler and president But to us in this year of
1926 ne is more He is patriotism love of country,
intelligence and great leadership Unless we canl
profit from lives like that of Washington. andI
keep IN memory the spirit that his deeds evoked
IN every trying period since Seventy-Six then the
bard who sang the good that men do lives afterI
them indeed has sung in vain

ENCOURAGE RADIO

Radio is cassed as the most wonderful
achievement of the century. It's entertainment
value is greater than all other forms of amuse-
ment. It will do more to educate the peoples of
the world than any other agency. It's possibilities
are equal TO almost any reasonable stretch of
Imagination.
During 1920, sales of radio sets ard parts
totaled S20O0OOO in 1924, over S400 100000, and it
lt likely sales this year will exceed $5OO,OO0OO
Fast growing industries are the easy mark of
taxation and regulation. Our country leads the
world in manufacturing because industry is given
a free scope for the operation of individual nitia
tive IN its development and the encouragement of
new industry.
A ten per cent tax is proposed in Congress or
a discriminatory freight rate against radio sets
and equipment would discourage the advance
ment of this industry at time when it should be
encouraged

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Continued from page onel

clothes clothes with their guarantee back of
it for the same or less money than the mail
order house. The shoes that are sent for out
of town can be duplicated by any of the mer-
chants of Red Lodge for less money. 1t was
reliably reported that more than Five Thous-
and Dollars worth of mail order groceries
came into Red Lodge III the last thirty days.
The same quality of any staple grocery can be
bought from local merchants for the same
money if purchased in the same quantity, less
the freight.
Red Lodge has two well equipped news
papers and job plants and can do almost any
kind of printing that is needed by this COM
munity The only exception being litho-
graph work or engraving and this can be
ordered through your local printer and Sc
cured for the same money that you pay the
mail order house The News has made
arrangements with the Missoulan Publish
ing Company to take orders for lithograph
work which includes bank checks, drafts and
in fact everything that can be done in the
Autograph line and we will guarantee to du-
pllcate any order for the same money that
you will pay to the solicitors and thereby keep
the money in Montana. In fact there is very
little printing that can not be taken care of in
one OF the two newspaper plants of this city.
The local merchants and business men are
entitled to the business of this community,
provided they give the people square deal
and can furnish the goods desired
What can we do about it. This is what we
recommend. First: The merchants must
patronize each other. Second see that the
City Council passes an ordinance requiring
peddlers and solicitors to secure alicense be-
fore beng permitted to solicit, making the
license high enough to equal the taxes and
license paid by the local merchants and see to
it that it is enforced to the letter. Third: then
appeal to the people to take an interest in the
local town or community and urge them to
patronize home town merchants. This will
make us a real business town and all will
profit by same.
LET'S DO 1T!

THE WHEAT BOOM

AS yet the wheat boom is confined to the
stock market, which, rs everyone knows, is quite
unstable 1t is too early to know what effect the
spectacular rise IN wheat will have upon the coun-
try, especially the farmers. The consumers al
ready have its shadow reflected in threatened
rise in the price of daily bread.
Whether this record breaking after-war price
rs a.true indication gof prosperity, or whether
merely normal outburst in the continuous ad-
Justment that is going on and that will go on re-
mans to be seem 1t is fairly certain that the ma
ton as whole believes it an auspicious sign. An
upward trend in the price of stable commodity
generally is promising. High prices of raw ma
telals, even through tne dealing in futures, strikes
at the source Of production and thereby affects
primary values.
