"CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS D11Ey

Under the heading, Credit Where
Credit is DUE" the Meridian, Idaho,
Times recently carried an interesting
article on their local county tax situation.
The Times said in part: "S~eventy-one per
cent Of the last half of the 1882 taxes
have been paid, which is about ten per
cent less than last year.
1T should be observed that the
public utilities have paid their 1882 taxes
in full, and without their 100 per cent
support another story would be told. and
public schools, and other public neces-
stiles would be severely handicapped.
"The largest contribution to the
county treasury is from the Union Pacific
Railroad, with $96,344 for the year. The
others include: Idaho Power Company,
$46,304; smaller railroads, 81, 6O1. "a; Bell
Telephone Company, SAL, 78O.71; Tele-
graph Company, $1,O48.87; Pullman Car
Company, $1,O71.84.
"This makes a total Of $187, 536.O3.
These payments made in a time of de-
preston, when the Individual in MANY
cases defaults in his payment, are a valu-
able help and mean that the balance in
the general fund is held up to a figure
that mean M registration Of warrants
is necessary.
eff the utilities had not paid their
taxes promptly and when due, many
schools in the county would find it neces-
sary to close for want of funds.
When we hear criticism of public
utilities we should recall that there has
been no default in their tax payments in
Ada County for the worst year of the
depression
This particular Idaho county is not
an exception. In thousands Of cities and
counties throughout the country. taxes
are in arrears. Farmers, property owners
and businesses have been unable to paw.
Yet taxes of utilities have been paid when
due, even though investors had to 60 with
out dividends and interest payments. AS
taxpayers, employers and purchasers of
supplies, the utility companies have
again demonstrated their Importance to
every community and the national well
fare.

THE FOUNDATION OF CREDIT

The magazine, management
Methods" recently conducted a survey of
Insurance buying among business men in
IL various sized cities throughout the
country, asking questions concerning the
types of insurance they carried.
Fire insurance was carried bv
ninety eight per cent of the firms reply
ing. It's nearest competitor, employers
liability, was carried by 80 per cent.
This is a pretty good testimonial
to the esteem in which fire insurance is
held by the average business man. It's a
necessity of his business-he buys it as a
matter Of course. It's the mainstay Of his
credit, the guarantor Of security, the
element that stands between him and
possible ruin.
This survey likewise brings thoughts
Of the two per cent of businesses which
haven't fire insurance. They are self
Insurers that is, they take their chances
on fire, to save the premiums. That is all
very well-so long as they don't have a
fire. But the list of businesses which have
attempted this, and then have seen ev-
erything wiped out with no money to re-
place it, makes a considerable one. Self
insurance, whether for an individual, a
business, Or a community, is a gamble
with destiny.

DR.. G. B. Lennox,

Omaha, Nebraska.
Dear DIR. Lennox:
In connection with your letter of
August s and with reference 10 our
former correspondence, | only need
to refer, | believe, to my previous
position in regard to this matter
which puts US on record as being
willing to employ some additional
Colored people as vacancies occur and
as we q fit them into certain select
ed positions.
You assume that we will need add
tional employees due to the National
Recovery Program now under way
The chances are we will not require
very many additional people to fully
cooperate in this Program since all
u employees are now on an average
of SO hours a week and have been for
a year or more. I think 1 explained
to you before that during the fore
part of the depression. we began to
spread our labor so that we could
keep more people employed and have
fewer layoffs. We did this by reduc-
ing the hours of work per week. This
spread is SO closely in line with the
present detectives of the administra-
ton, with which we are in hearty
accord. that as far as we know now
additional employees will need to be
take on only as business conditions
improve and our work increases in
volume.
In his connection, we have some
employees who were laid off during
the depression whom we believe we
should r~ightfully take back before
employing and training new people
for any additional available Jobs I.
This program, which / have briefly
outlined, will work Itself out gradual
ly and the time will come when we
will need to employ additional new
people. At that time we expect to
follow the program ! have heretofore
reviewed with you.

Yours very truly,

March Of Events

One Of the good results of the great
international Economic Conference held
this summer in London has been an agree
ment between the wheat exporting coun-
tries of the world-Canada, u. S. A., Ar
gentine, India, Australia and Eastern
Europe. Each country pledged itself to
place on the export market not more than
its fair share of grain. Such an agree
ment would not be possible without act
ual government control of the marketing
operations of grain. 1t indicates therefor
the change Of the policy of all these gov
ernments from non interference in pri-
Vate business to the. state control of at
least part Of it. 1t alse is shows a growing
willingness Of the peoples of the word to
cooperate for their mutual welfare. At
ter all this conference may not have been
such a flop as it has been reported to be.
Reports from Germany, France.
Italy and England state that unemploy-
ment has decreased some 1919 during the
last two months. Government statistics
from u own country are equally favor
able This increase in employment has
taken place inspite of the fact that the
international trade of each Of these
countries has decreased. / have always
been Of the opinion that a country of the
varied resources Of the United States
needs comparatively little foreign trade
to be prosperous.
The American business world is
becoming rapidly favorable to the re-
sumption of diplomatic relations with
Soviet Russia This government has
proven itself one of the strongest and
most capable in the world; it has met its
obligations for more then ten years
q hundred cents on the dollar, what is
more than can be said of other govern
ments with which We have had business
dealings; true, the Bolsheviks denounce
capitalism, but then we have ourselves
halfway lost confidence in it, and we
answer all their criticism of our govern
ment ii for that. There is no better way
X Gvilize the Bolsheviks if they need
civilizing then by dealing with them in a
fair and friendly manner; maybe that in
our intercourse with them we ourselves
may IN return gain some valuable in
formation.
The Cubans have a new President,
DR.. Ramon Grau San Martin. one of the
foremost leaders of the groups of stud
ents that consistently denounced the
tyranny of the former President Mach

as a surgeon and as disciplinarian at the
University. It may be that he is just the
scho0lmsSter that the rowdy Cuban poll
tics need Our government has been very
cautious not TO mix up too much with this
family row of our Cuban neighbor. Our
