RED CROSS AID
Continued From Page y

one copy for his records, and one
copy goes into headquarters. Two
copies are delivered to the applicant,
who retains n copy and hands the
other to his local merchant. The lat
ter furnishes the food and charges it
to the Rel Cross, sending in an item
lied statement at the end of the
month, as usual. By means of this du-
plication, alteration of the food order
is impossible, and as a matter Of fact,
Mr.. Rowland says, it was never tried
but once, in all the history of the Red
Cross.
The local merchant receives his
check from Red Cross Headquarters.
This check is drawn on the Red Cross
account in st. Louis and can be CASH
ell anywhere.
Mr.. Rowland made it quite plain
that Red Cross relief differs very
materially from the aid given desti-
tute persons by the County author
tiles. In that case, it is made the du-
ty of the County Commissioners to
provide for the poverty stricken men,
bers of their communities. However,
in the matter Of Red Cross Relief,
this is a gift. And he made it very
plain that, while the American Red
Cross is willing to assist in any way
it can, it has a tremendous load on it's
shoulders, particularly in the North
western states. After having carried
on relief for the full period Of one
year in the Southern states, it's trea-
sury is naturally somewhat depleted.
AMI, because Of the business depres-
sion and hard times generally, it is
very difficult to raise funds.
"Of course" said he, "the organi-
zation is not going to allow people
to starve. We can raise the funds for
your people if the demanh is as great
as it seems to be. But to raise the
tremendous amount of money which
many people seem to think the Red
Cross should spend in Montana and,
particularly in Northeastern Monta-
ma, would require q Drive such as
we put on in Arkansas, for example.
And this would result in the most adj
verse advertising for your country
and it's people. 1t would give North
eastern Montana a black eye, from
which it wouln take twenty years to
recover. This district has been a part
of the worlds great wheat granary;
and that fact is what has brought
emigration to this country and has
caused Eastern investors to make
loans on your lands. To parade the
poverty and restitution Of your peo-
pie before the American public is the
last thing the people Of Montana
should want to have DONE"
1t was made very plain that the aid
which is furnished is drouth relief. It
does not apply to unemployment. For,
as Mr.. Rowland pointed out, if the
Red Cross undertook to support the
unemployed in Plentywood, it would
logically have to do the same thing
in Minot, and, from Minot then to
Minneapolis; from Minneapolis to De-
troit; and from Detroit to New York
City. Such problems are the individu-
al problems of the various commune
ties. And he suggested that road work
is the best possible solution Of the
problem of the unemployed. So an eff
fort is being made by local parties
to procure work for farmers, in grav-
cling the highways in Northeastern
Montana. 1t is not known what the re-

Initiation Peril Lessons,
Economist Declares

Government has been spending
beyond its means. A large and
growing deficit is the result.
Someone Must Pay
Somebody has to pay what our
Government spends. So the only
questions are. how much is it to
spend, and who is to pay? If we
have our Government spend less,
we won't have to pay so much
taxes.
One trouble is that we are
prone to forget that our Govern
ment is "us" until the tax bill is
presented.
The real ground for criticizing
the tax program Is that it does
not definitely balance the budget.
1t merely guesses that income
may catch up with expenses by
1884. 1t takes q chance on foreign
debt payments and on early buSi-
ness recovery.
GuesSes Are Questioned
If the Administrations guesses
are no better now than in the
past, there may easily be no bal
ance. And If we are not def
nitely to pay our way, the door
is not locked against increased
expenditures and loans.
Watch Government bonds. If
they hold and rise in a sustained
way, we may suppose that a bal
anced budget and sound Govern
ment credit are assured. Other
wise, we may doubt 1t.

The momentum downward was
checked somewhat by weekend
covering operations Of shorts, but
with offerings pouring in inces-
sanity, the market was hardly
permitted to catch its breath un-

TALLY lower price levels.
Utility Pace Setter
Electric Bond and Share con-
tinued to set the pace in the
utilities, sagging to a record all
time low at 1919. off 70 from
it's previous close. The S per
cent preferred dropped back 2
points to a new bottom at 43E2,
while fractional declines to record
lows were chalked up in Asso-
ciated Gas and Electric A, Elec-
trio Power and Light warrants,
Middle West Utilities, Niagara
Hudson Power, and Northern
States Power A.
Gulf Oil tumbled sharply in the
petroleum group, on the unex-
pected omission Of its common
dividend, breaking at a record low
at 32H, for a loss of Az points.

CHICAGO, Dec. 12.-Wheat
futures suffered substantial de-
clines today under scattered sell
ing and lack of support. Open
ing prices were 5s to 7sc off and
the market later showed losses Of

securities and easineSs in foreign
grain markets were the depresS-
ing factors here.
Liverpool closed "a to Id lower
Winnipeg opened 1s to sc down
and at midday scored losses of
3s to Hc a bushel. Broomhall,
crop expert, reported that the re-
cent wet weather in the Argentine
will lower the quality of the
wheat and delay movement to
the seaboard.
The local cash wheat market
ruled steady to easy. Shipping in
quiry is fair and country offerings

Corn opened p to 24c lower,

selling by commission houses and
overnight longs. The weakness

Bureau of Business Research
The Governments tax program
seems to be good as far as it
goes, but it may hardly go far
enough. The proposed finance
corporation measure Is fairly well
safeguarded, and, if we have to
adopt such a measure, this one
may do.
The question is, are these meas
ureS sufficiently definite and de-
cisive? 1 have the feeling that
Mr.. Hoover wants "just . sprink-
ling" Of initiation, without getting
inflated.
Just Emergency Measures
He wants to have the budget
almost balanced. without cutting
expenses or increasing taxes
enough to make the balance sure.
The most sympathetic way to
look at the matter is to consider
these as emergency measures.
The finance corporation can be
defended on that ground, but
must be carefully limited.
Tax rates must be high now
because the old sources of reve-
nue. have been reduced while
some relief expenditures are re-
quired. Being emergency meas
ures, they may be temporary.
A big increase in taxation
seems "bearish" only to those who
have been blind to the facts. Our
