Industry Pave Big Sum for
Prsventabls Waste.

WaShlngtOn-Preventable waste IN
industry throughout the country
amounts to s1O,OO0.OUO.OOO a year, ac-
cordlng to Roy n. Hudson, chief Of the
aimplihed practices division Of the De
partme1t 0f Commerce.
With these great wastes which
drag so heavily on our collective If
h%ciency," Hudson said he was amazed
at Americas ability t maintain rev
enne above the point Of operating ex-
penses.
Waste elimination" Hudson said.
is q vital topic wherever business is
done or service rendered. II Is re-
garded as an essential by authorities
on management who give It a place at
the top Of. the list Of the ten most i'm
portant things in bushes administra-
ton"
Hudson said the total ~preventable
waste was double the sum spent for
buildings in 1924 and equal to over
half of the capital invested In rail-
roads Of the nation.
Railroads, after carrying on sim
pliicatiOn and Standardization efforts
in their mechanical departments, are
now giving consideration to similar &C.
ton In all departments Of the road
with an eye to reducing waste and de-
creaslng expenses wherever possible,
Hudson said.
One large railroad, according to
Hudson, recently reduced the items
carried in it's stores department. With
the elimination Of $1,000 items there
was shown an immediate reduction OF
% per cent in the Inventories.
Another system" said Hudson
"cut its stores account from $SS,OO0,
600 to $2O,OOO,OOO. by the same weed
ing-Out process. Forty large roads
applying the same program, released
$1SO,O0O,OO0 Of capital fOrmerl!
locked up In idle inventories, cutting
down stock on hand from a sil
months supply to a three months sup
ply, bringing about a better service
Of supply.
I'm this achievement, it wss show
that the average cost of carrying o
maintaining supply stocks was 2
per cent Of their own value, an.
that O~bsOlescence accounted for nearl,
half Of this Item"

Left-HanGeJ A-ticts?
Sure, Scores Of Them

New YCrk.-An art student from the
West innocently remarking Il guess
III never be a real artist because I'm
left-handed." brought a protest the
other day from the embryo great mas
ters now studying at the Grand Cen
trail Art school. It was discovered
that a number Of them were left-hand-
ed. An Investigation was started to
find out if there was anything in the
idea that they might as well give up
trying to paint if they did not work
with their right hands. 1t was not
until they ran into George Pearse
Ennis, instructor In water color at the
school, that they claimed down.
You mean to tell me that you In
tend giving up your art because you're
left-handed?" he asked. "Why, that's
the most foolish thing that I've heard
yet l have known scores OF left
handed art students and artists, and
I've never seen anything queer about
them.
"Why, look at the artists and illus
traitors we have or have had here in
New York, and just note how many
Of those whose work YOU know are or
we're left-handed. When you stop TO
think about 1t, the list runs to dozens.
I'll name a few. Some Of them are
pretty well known, and you can see
their work anywhere: Van Dering Per
rlne, George Bellows, Dean Cornwall,
]. @. Leyendecker, Robert Hewin.
Howard Chandler Christy, Walter
Griffin, Coles Phillips. and Joseph
Pennell. Just try to tell me that be-
cause these men are or were l~eft-hand-
ed their work is no good!
"And, oh, I forgot" he called after
the departing students, did you ever
hear OF a certain Leonardo Da Finci3
Well, he worked with his left hand"

ON A NARRnW ESCAPE

cob. Aunty, I Just have 20 tax 70

Emmy. Those bonds Toms father
gave US for a. wedding present have
mataT5d and Tom has the money. A
man is trying to get Tom to invest IN
a radio company. I want your opinion
on it."
Don't hurry; tell me everything
you can remember" said Aunt Emmy.
well, Tom didn't seem snthusias-
tic. Then Mr.. Brown, the salesman,
said that If ne bought stock in his
company. and wanted his money at
any time, the company would buy back
his stock"
"Are you sure he said that?'' inter
rupted Aunt Emmy. "That Is q claim
that is not made by people connected
with dependable investment houses.
Unless you have an agreement with
the company clearly stating that It
will r~epurchase its stock, signed By
one Of its officers, you would have
great difficulty in getting the company
to buy back your stock. A company
cannot be compelled to reDurchase its
own stock. Do you know who Ma.

Tom liked him right from the start

Reliable stock statesmen don't prom
Use that a company viii repurchase its
stock, nor do they promise guaranteed
dividends. Unless a company operates
proftably, it cannot pay honest divi
dends of any sort, guaranteed or other

believe that you can get dividends JUS
because some n says they are guar

world for dividends is the successful

HOME Community
NEEDS YOUR
MONEY
Mail Order Houses and Large
City Department Stores Do
Not Help Pay Taxes or Re-
Build School Houses

Some men and women spend
tkeir money away from home be-
cause they think they are put
ting it Into circulation"
They are sincere in their belief that
they are serving a real economic puc-
pose by taking auto or train peri
cdically and buying the things they
need in some large city. An eloquent
stranger from the city, in the form
Of a department store advertisement,
Or . mail order house catalogue, has
explained the matter to them in great
detail and perhaps some logic.
IN either case, the advice never
comes from any fellow townsman Of
theirs who has the interests Of the
nome town at heart.
That is a point to be remembered
Coin Put Into Motion.
1t is true that such buyers, by car
rying their money out of town in
person, or sending it out by money
order, are putting their money into
motion. That is one step in the pro.
cess Of circulation as it is known BY
economists and business men. The
dictionary says in defining circula.
tion: Motion around or through
something to the starting point"
Nothing comes back in the Kind Of
circulation" they are trying to pu
under way. Value received would
come back to the community, if j
That is the theory Of all sound bust
ness. Nothing must be lost in tn
cycle, whether the return in in none!
or in kind.
The money or the purchasing pow
or. that is in a small community
were the right kind of circulation
like the reservoir stored up behind
dam. The big city market is tn
lowland into which the river drain
when the sluice gates are lifted. Ev
cry time some member of the commU
nifty carries his money away, the wa
ter level is lowered, and the powe
that should grind the cOrn is lost.

And it is as true here as in the old
saying, that "The mill will never
grind with the water that is passed"
We are getting into theory here, but
it is the theory on which all sound
business life is based, and u read
ers must be set straight on this point
if the big campaign of community
education which is being carried on in
The Courier is to succeed.
There can be no true circulation un-
der the circumstances, any more than
water can flow uphill.
Why?
Because there is nothing in the
smaller community to attract the nee
essary return current.
Let US put the case c%oncretely:-
You earn your money in Bczeman. 1t
is the heart blood of the community's
life. Instead of buying what you need
at the Bozeman stores, so as to keep
the money in circulation at home, and
thus helping to maintain a healthy
business life, you drain these indus
trial cOrpuscles out of the system
Every such drain weakens it.
And you pay more money than you
pay at home for the same merchan-
disc, as we will prove to you subse-
quently in this weekly series of sdu-
cational articles.
Nothing Comes Back
Now, the money is out. What comes
back from this expenditure made il
the distant big city by your BozemaI
money?
Nothing-absolutely nothing.
Your valued circulation is a myth
The big city is self-sufficing. Boze
man has nothing, makes nothing
raises nothing that the metropolitan
neighbors must have. Bozeman can
not supply anything that hundreds O
other places Of similar size canno
supply. Bozeman shoppers-in per
son OF by mail-are cultivated so Ions
as their money holds out; after tina
they are no longer wanted.
Profit in Transfer
There is a profit in every transfe
Of merchandise. You buy a coat o
a pound of prunes, and the merchan
gets a little more than he pays 70
these goods, because he deserves t
be paid for the services he render
you There are risks and enterprise
involved on the one hand, and Their
are helpfuiness and service on tn
other. The profit is the merchant
living. You pay profit to the QUITO
town merchant as well. But you pa
more for less service. There is you
trip to pay FOR, if you run in to th
city, and there is the risk you ru
buying "sight-unseen'' las the boy
trading jack-knives say) if you de-
with the mail-order house. In bot
cases, there is the greater overhea
to pay, owing to higher rents, insul
ance, great cost OF labor, ~expensis
advertising and scores Of other e.
penditures that the hometown me.
chant does not have.
The hometown merchants profit
are spent in Bozeman. They ultimate
ly reach you again. Your none
comes back to you-the startir
point" Of this business circulation
Buying at home is the only salvatig

Area Test Law Is
Held Valid BY Court

The area test law for controlling
and suppressing tuberculosis among
cattle, passed by the 1923 legislature
is valid and constitutional, the state
supreme court held in a decision hand
ed down Monday.
The case came up on the appeal OF
William F. Schultz, and seven other
property owners and cattle men OF
Meeker county from an order of the
Ramsey county district court denying
a temporary injunction restraining
the Meeker county commissioners,
the state livestock sanitary board and
the federal bureau or animal indus
try, from continuing the area test
in that county, and from enforcing
the quarantine provisions of the law.
1t was the contention of the pain
tiffs in the action that the statute in
fringed upon the provisions of the
constitution by imposing taxation fol
public purposes, that the state be-
came under the law, party to do
work of internal improvement ana
that the law provides for a tax not
uniform on the same class of subjects
and that it denies equal protection OF
the laws.
