GOOD CREDIT RISK
(Great Falls Tribune)

1t is the natural desire of every
normal person to stand well in the
eyes of his fellows. Everyone,
consciously or unconsciously,
strives to retain the high regard
of the community in which he
lives, and to be respected in the
sphere in which he earns his liv-
ing. A reputation for soundness
and integrity is a personal asset
an intangible, if you will, but
not infrequently transferable to
material advantage.
Many attributes and habits of
living go to make up the badge of
responsibility and high standing
which we find so desirable, but
none outranks the virtue of being
prompt in meeting financial obli-
cations. Individuals are uncon-
sciously rated by those with whom
they have any business relation
in much the same name that
cOHimSICldl the
credit standing of business organi-
cations. In the business world it
is well known that the highest
ratings are accorded only to such
concerns that have demonstrated
their good faith and reliability in
payment over a considerable
of time. They must be

Unconsciously, we have carried
this psychology into our state O.
mind toward government. We
tend to regard the making of laws
and their administration as a func
tdon of a group of specialists In
government whom we hired for
this purpose and whom we call
public servants. After hiring them
it is u purpose casually to re-
view their actions, to accept those
which we approve, and to reject
the rest.
This attitude of mind is destruc-
tive of self-government, for self
government is predicated upon
the fact that every responsible
citizen will take his part in the
creation of law, the obedience to
law, and the selection of officials
and methods for its enforcement.
Points Citizens Duties
Finally, l wish to again reiter-
ate that the problem of law en-
forcement Is not alone a function
or business of government. If
can be upheld only by en-
forcement officers, then our
scheme of government is at an
end. Every citizen has a personal
duty in 1.-THE duty to order his
OWN actions, to SO weigh the effect

known to discount their bills, or
at least meet them within stated
intervals. In much the same man
ner, individuals build up their own
credit rating in the course of their
daily contacts. Moreover, exactly
as the corporation finds a high
credit rating an important adjunct
to the conduct of its business, so
the individual finds the esteem of
his business associates or others
with whom he deals, of inestim-
able value. Nothing so facilitates
the making of a loan or so readily
brings forth the needed degree of
credit extension as a reputation
for prompt pay. Timely settle
ment of obligations is not only
an indication of solvency; but its
practice announces to the world
a policy of square dealing. of get

for what is received.

THE PRESIDENTS SPEECH

President Hoover's remarkable
speech, made before the American
Press association at a recent din
ner, reveals that he has a keen
understanding of the tendencies
of the present hour with regard
to respect for law-tendencies for
which citizens not openly classed
as criminals are largely respon-
sible. The President puts the is
sue squarely up the c~itizenry of
the nation. His speech in full is
published in this issue of The
Herald and deserves a careful
reading by all.

that we are not suffering from ar

Possibly the time is at hand for
the press to Systematically demand

Liberty Founded on Law
1t is unnecessary for me to ar
que the fact that the very
of freedom is obedience to law;
that liberty itself has but one
foundation, and that is in the law.
And in conclusion let me recall
an oft-repeated word from Abra-
ham Lincoln, whose invisible pres
ence lives hourly at the very desk
and in the very halls which it is
my honor to occupy:
Let every man remember that
to violate the law is to trample
on the blood of his father, and to
the character of his own and
his children's liberty. Let rever-

every American mother to the
babe that prattles on her

THE 13-MONTH CALENDAR

VIII modern civilization benef
if the proposed thirteen-montt
calendar is put into effect?
Decidedly yes, according To
Thomas L. Mason, former editor
of Life, in a current issue OF
Christian Herald, national non
denominational religious weekly.
Mr.. Mason, who has gained
prominence recently with his
weekly radio book reviews, points
out that the practical effect of the
calendar on industry and daily
life would be almost revolutionary,
but at the same time he believes
that it will eventually be put
into effect. 1T will undoubtedly
come" he writes, but it will take
some time"
The new calendar, if adopted"
ne goes on will produce pro-
found changes in our whole sys-
TEN of living-in our churchgoing,
our Sabbathday observations, and
in our holidays. 1t will also effect
our literature, now bound up in
the old Gregorian calendar"
The new calendar, Mr.. Mason
explains, provides for thirteen
months of twenty-eight days each.
This will leave an extra day in
each year-two in leap year
which, Mr.. Mason suggests. may
be used for an international Sab
bath. The advantages would be
numerous. To quote:
CAS- the complete four weeks
would exactly quarter all months,
this would harmonic weekly
wages, expenses, rent, etc. Pay
day would be regular. Every
month-end would coincide with the
same weekend. Interest c~alcula-
tions and all financial transactions
depending upon the calendar,
would be enormously simplified.
All holidays could be placed on
Monday. The turnover in money
would be greater, as there would
be thirteen monthly settlements
instead of twelve. The saving
from this would be considerable.
BY hitting on thirteen chronology
cal cylinders instead of twelve, we
would really have more time to
spare, and possibly more money"
