RESUME RIVER
WAR ON ARIZONA

SALT LAKE CITY-Governor
George H. Dern expects to call a
conference of the seven states nam
ed in the so-called seven state
Colorado River Pact" he said while
discussing the action of Governor
Friend w. Richardson of California
in calling a special session of the
Legislature to consider the six state
pact which would eliminate Ari-
Zona.
SACRAMENTO-A renewal of the
fight over Colorado river legislation
was looked upon in political cir
cles as. assured through the action
of Governor Friend w. Richardson
in calling a special session of the
state legislature in an effort to OBJ
tain unqualified ratification of the
six state compact to regulate use
of the river water. The legislature
is to meet October %.
While the governor declared that
further delay would jeopardize the
compact and continue the food
menace to Imperial Valley, Con-
gresham Phil D. Swing, in Los An
geles, described the call as too
bad" He said that the legislature
would not ratify the compact un-
conditionally, and having won the
fight once, would win it again.
The governor said that the spec
1al session was being called in or
der that the compact might be rati-
fed before the short session of con-
gress in December, pointing out
that the amended and rewritten
wing-Johnson bill provides that
the river agreement must have
been ratified by six states before
appropriation for food control or
development work can be done.

CORPORATION OWNERSHIP

The wide distribution of capital stock in the
representative corporations of the United States
has been one of the significant changes within
the last 20 years. Where stock in the great cor
pOration formerly was concentrated in the hands
of a few, it is now held by many. It is a form of
public ownership which has helped to stabilize
business and industry in America.
1t is estimated that 315,457 employees hold
stock valued at $455, 100000 in % representative
corporations. One estimate of the total stock
holdings by corporation employees is $500, 900, 900
which is probably conservative enough.
The trend toward popular ownership, while
fairly steady for many years, has been accelerated
since the close of the World War. The American
Telephone and Telegraph company, the parent
company of the Bell system, now has 10000
stockholders, or one and a half times as many
stockholders as it had at the close of 1920. Doubt
less other large corporations have had similar
experiences. Ownership of these corporations is
not held in Wall street, but throughout the country
by many thousands of small investors.-Seattl6

WE'RE ALL ADVERTISERS

Advertising is the Illuminating power and the
horsepower of business" says Chalmers L. Pan
coast in the American Press. cts influence, color,
and activity is in evidence wherever clever men
are striving to accomplish something.
Everything under the sun is, has been or will
some day be advertised in some way-somewhere.
The man who dresses well gives himself good
publicity. The bum sends forth bum publicity.
The store front, show windows, business block,
street and city all advertise something favorably
or unfavorably.
Advertising is the secret of great success; the
result of genius; the hope of civilization. It is
the light of greater intelligence, the educator OF
the world, the benefactor of all mankind. It's

surgeon advertises to make trees Iive-the archit-
ect to make temples beautify cities.
"Aren't we all advertisers? Aren't we contin.
ually advertising ourselves and our possessions
To ourselves we are very important. We want
others to think so. We advertise it in every con.
ceivable way-speech, dress, manner and mode Of
living"
The Bozeman courier. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1919-1954, 1926-12-17

From the Grand Forks IN. d. Herald !;
"The state Of New York apparently accepts
the fact that there is such a thing as the st.
Lawrence waterway, and that the people of the
United States are interested in it. The effort of
that state to unload an Improbable barge canal
on the federal government, and to commit the
government to the expenditure of half a billion
dollars on a canal for which there will never be
water enough to take care of more than Is per
cent of the available traffic, is not likely to sue
ceed."
The Brookings, Is. d. Register believes the
Middle West would, reap benefits from the ex-
tending of Atlantic deep sea to the
Great Lakes ports. It says:
Gan. all-water route to Europe from the western
end of Lake Superior, such as would be furnished
by clearing out some 80 miles of the st. Lawrence
river, would cut Town the transportation cost
very materially.
"The lessening of the transportation costs
would give the farmer more for his crops, and
would cause the things he buys to sell for less
at his home town. He would benefit both ways.
AS a consequence his buying power would be in
creased. The dollar he gets for his crop would
come much nearer buying a dollars worth of
manufactured products. It would tend to bring
back the balance that existed before the war but
which has not existed since the summer of 1920.
"The Central West does most of it's selling to
Europe. The ultimate destination of most of the
surplus crops raised in this part of the country
goes there. In return we buy European manu-
featured articles. Under the present transporta-
ton conditions there is a big railroad haul from
our grain terminals to the s~eacoast, a haul that
adds many cents to every bushel of grain sold,
and many hundred of dollars to the crops on a
large farm. It is a toll the western farmers have
to pay because the East doesn't want us to have
an all-water transportation system. The East
is enjoying tremendous benefits from the Panama
canal which the West helped cheerfully to build,
paying their full share of the expense, but the
East has no idea of reciprocating if it can help il.

A GOOD SUGGESTION

We heartily approve of the suggestion, made
by A. H. Bowman, state commissioner of agri-
culture, in his biennial report, that the legislature
make a small appropriation to be used in financing
Montana exhibits at the international Grain and
Hay show held at Chicago each year.
In his report the commissioner outlines the
fact that, cat these expositions Montana has made
an enviable record for prize winning. AS a re-
suit, the state has received an immense amount
of favorable advertising in all sections of the
United States. The expense of collecting and
transporting the Montana exhibit to Chicago is
about $4,000, and in the past it has been necessary
to defray all expenses by an appeal to public
spirited citizens of the state for contributions.
There are, and will be from time to time, other
expositions, within and without the state, at which
the products of the different industries should
be displayed"
In the past years the report shows the depart
ment has assisted the poultry industry of the
state in staging the various state and. county
eXpOsitiOns. The extent of participation in these
activities has been limited by an annual appro-
priation of $1,000, divided-$8OO to the state
poultry show and $500 to the various county
shows.

THE ST. LAWRENCE SHIP CHANNEL

Inasmuch as The Courier is now carrying a

Here is a proposal to bring the Atlantic ocean

Importance to such a state as Kansas lies in the
fact that much of the produce of our farms sells
at a price determined largely by the world situa-
ton in these commodities. The proposed water
ways would have the effect of bringing western
farm products closer to the world market. II
seems a reasonable inference that this process
would result in some benefit to the farmers OF
this region.

world market purposes is on the Atlantic coast

that the Atlantic region does not favor the Great

The Pine Tree and a
Christmas TnsDir0fiOn

1 he creaking, c%runching snow un-
W der. foot, as well as the crisp,
frosty air bespoke a tempera-
ture some degrees below zero. How
ever, native mid-westerners looked
for, anticipated and expected a Quantl-
ty of snow and cold weather for the
Christmas holidays. Their expecta-
tions were usually right with an
added cold stretch long before the
holidays, and long after them.
The hard lines Of the massive.
bulky, stone Central Administration
building Of the college was delight
fully cOntrasted against the dead
white, fluffy, fairy-like snow all about
1t. This building, as did four others,
faced a huge stretch Of campus, with
groupings of trees scattered pleasing
ly about to break the wide .expanse.
Trees, heavily hung with the almost
artifciallOOking cottony webbing
formed al artistic group across the
road and In front Of the building. In
the center Of the group stood a well
formed, tall, perfect specimen Of a
lOng-needled pine. It was singled
out to be the proud -possessOr Of many
cOlored lights distributed about gen-
erOusly among its branches. Deserving
Of praise was this awesOme tree, and
it's surroundings.
S~ilhouetted against the sky, form
ing a background for the proud pine
tree stood the campanile, the pride
Of every student on the campus. In
the dull afterglOw Of the winter
twilight the chimes were extolling the
Christmas carols.
At the foot Of the narrow winding
staircase Of iron which leads to the
belfry Of the campanile, upon close
inspection could be seen a maid and
young mRn-nOt the first time, o
would It be the last time the cam
panile should witness such a sight.
The meeting had been planned in view
Of their separation on the morrow
when both would go to their homes.
Moved by the sight Of the proud pine,
its symbolism, and the chimes, they
babe each other farewell in fond EN-.
brace, carrying away with them the
spirit Of the proud pine tree IN their
hearts.-Eleanor q. King.
