Newspapers and Tea
Duluth Herald)

Sir Charles Hgham of London is not so well
known as Sir Thomas Lptops the great tea mer.
chant and yachtsman, but tea also, is making him
famous throughout the United States. Last month
he spent several weeks in this country as the rep
resentatve of the India Tea Growers association.
for whom he is conducting 2 $l,000.0oQ, fiye-year
advertising campaign in American newspapers, and
his sprghtly interviews business conditions and
advertising are being widely quoted.
In a meaty article on why make newspapers
the backbone of my advertising campaign" pub
lished in Editor Publisher recently, he made this
statement:
II have spent, suppose, in the fifteen years, $780,.
100000 in advertising. In that expenditure have
used all forms Of media, and many methods depend
est on the product.
Il have come to the conclusion now that news
papers are widely read. that advertising placed
in them remind as we'll as inform. In ether words
it is not necessary To use other media
Before know by lest the value Of newspaper
advertising decided the press. both daily and peri
odica. was the most profitable medium for advertis-
ing purposes because it was paid for. When q
reader pays for something he is going TO read it.
Then, again, l reasoned newspaper is full ct
live news would rather, thought, purchase single
column advertisements in newspapers than big space
in the mazagines.
I'm practice have found my theory pays.
my first experience in spending money in Aneri-
can newspapers came two years ago. Ny client and
myself were surprised at the results we obtained
Tea sales in the United States have increased three

SOME COMPARISONS

Editor Bismarck Tribune: The Bis.
marck Association Of Commerce IA
vors a bond issue for the city of Bis
marck in the amount of $4,000 to
erect community building and to
m aintain the same. The official es-
innate Of the Association of Com
mercc is that the cost will be an an
nual tax Of $l.25 per $1,000 of asses
sed valuation over q period of twenty
years. That means that city prop
erty assessed at S2,388.0O (Which is
the assessed value Of the average
quarter section of land in North Da-
kota) will pay tax Of S2.98 annually
for twenty years.
The city Of Bismarck is not to he
criticized for building community
building. 1t is q lAudable undertake
! ing and the building is needed, and
will serve a useful purpose.
| A comparison of the cost of n
community building with the cost
of state industries is illuminating. 1t
will cost the owner Of a property on
(which $2.98 is to be raised for q
community building G8 cents this
year to pay his share Of the interest
on the bonds for the state industries.
After 1926 the amount of interest de-
creases. He will pay this year 81
cents to meet the bond retirement
fund. The aggregate for both pur-
poses in 1926 is $40. 1t was also
$l.7O in 1923. In no other year dur
ing the life of the bonds will the
tax be as high as $l.70. 1t gradu-
ally decreases Except in 1882, when
the tax will be $l.56) until the final
year. when the total tax will be ri
cents for both principal and interest.
This does not take into account the
earnings on sinking funds which will
reduce the annual tax.
His average payments for interest,
beginning 1919. extending over a
period of twenty-se years, at
which time the last Of the bonds. will
have been retired, is So cents. The
interest tax decreases as bonds are
retired. His average payments for
principal, beginning 1928, extending
over period of twenty seven years,
when the last Of the, bonds will have
been retired, is GO cents. This bond
tax decreases as earnings on sinking
funds are made available, and also
as bonds are retired.
| The beneficial effects Of the state
industries extends to every imam.
woman and child in North Dakota and
costs per annum an average of Sl.2l
on any property Of equal value with
the average quarter section of land
in North Dakota. As much cannot
be said for the proposed community
building, which will cost annually
1898 on the same valuation.
y The, cost Of the state industries is
more than offset, many times over
by the savings and earnings effected
by the state industries, the Irvine
plant. with its accumplations of $780,.

DEPRECIATION

Editor Bismarck Tribune:.
Depreciation on the terminal eleva.
tor and state mill, charged to opera
ting costs. are unwarranted, or in any
event are excessive.
4. No depreciation has accrued IN
to the present time. The present re-.
place ment cost greatly exceeds the orr.
ginal cost. Based on 1919 wholesale
costs OF building material at 100. pres.
ent costs are 1T as Of December
1926, (see Federal Reserve Bulletin.
March. 1926. page 1C4).
2. Provided repairs and replacc.
mcnts are made as needed and are
charged to operating costs, where
they belong, and the buildings are
thus maintained intact. the dcprec ia-
ti0n should be charged only to the
extent that replacement cost is less
than original cost.
3. IN any event, even if it he
decided that depreciation should be
charged. it should be so charged on
the sinking fund method, whereby
the amount charged annually shall be
set aside into a sinking fund. at in
terest, to the end that at the maturity
Of the life Of the building the fund
shall pc sufficient to replace the
building with a new one or equal
value.
4. Straight-line depreciation can
not he defended on any line q rea-
soning; that is, the setting aside of
such amount annually that at the
end Of the period of the estimated
life Of the building, without interest.
the sum of the annual amounts shall
equal the original cost OF. the build

commission estimate the life OF the

Therefore, in any event. the present
depreciation charge is more than ten
times too high.
5. In this presentation Of the>sub-
ject Of depreciation, the scrap value
of the structure has been ignored
Scrap value will still further reduce
any necessary annual depreciation
charge.
To sum up the whole matter. it
appears that in order to show an
operating loss on the terminal elcya-
tor and state mill. the industrial COM
mission requires that an unconscion-
able depreciation charge shall be an
nually set up and shall he CHARGED
to operating costs.
The legislative assembly should
demand that this kind Of sabotage
shall not be permitted to continue.
Furthermore. the present plan an

the terminal elevator and state mill
plant shall pay for itself through
earnings and then shall donate itself
TO the state. j..
On what other theory can the. idea
OF charging bond interest To opera

CONFESSION OF A GREAT sKEPTIC.

You will not accuse the evolutionary
skeptic. Charles Darwin. of being par.
tial to Christianity. la 1885 he circum-
navigated the globe in the Beagle. "
New Zealand was the darkest spot he
found on all his journey. About forty
years later, he again visited New Zea-
land, and. after his return to England.
in answering attacks made upon mission
aries, this noted unbelieVer said, con-
corning New Zealand:
They forget, or will not remember,
that human sacrifice and the power of
an idoIatrous priesthood "a system of
profligacy unparalleled in another part of
the world-infanticlde. a consequence
of that system-blOOdy wars where con
querOrs spared neither women nor chill

and that dishonesty, lntemperance, and
RIGHTEOUSNESS have been greatly reduced
by Christianity. In q vOyager to forget
these things is base ingratitude; for
should he chance to be at the point of
shipWreck on some unknown coast, he
will most deOOutLy pray that the lesson of
the missionary may haze reached thus far.

lesson of the missionary is the enchant-
er's wand. The house has been built,
the windows framed, the fields planted,
