BABSON DISCUSSES:
History And Land Speculation

Babson Park, Mass, Feb. IA.
History is the key to two i'm
portant economic indicators, :
growth rate and trend. For ex-
ample, the tremendous growth OF
such states as California,
Arizona, and Florida makes us
wonder If population totals in
these areas may be approaching
the point where available natural
resources may affect further
growth and expansion. Il, how
ever, the investor studies the
recent history of the heartland
states, he will find ample reasons
for impressive growth.
HISTORY OF OKLAHOMA
No longer ago than 1870, Okla
homa Chen Indian Territory had
only 2,4o7 white residents. In
1900, Oklahoma City Chen only
IL years old) had a population OF
10, ,037. Today, its population is
we'll over the $685. mark.
Tulsa, founded in 1887, had but
800 residents in 1900. BY 1860
this "village" had become a
booming city of 261, ,685 people.
In 1904 Oklahoma had only
1923 manufacturing establish
ments which employed 7,456. BY
1858 the census credited the state
with 1887 industrial plants en-
ploying 92,933 people. Petroleum
products output grew from a few
barrels in 1902 to over 200 mil
lion barrels of oil and nearly
700 billion cubic feet of natural
gas last year.
LOOK AT KANSAS AND
THE REST OF THE
HEARTLAND
In 1870, Kansas largest city
was Leavenworth pop. 1873.
Wichita was just being founded
and Topeka was credited with
$3.50 population. Indian raids
were still frequent. In 1870, the
entire state reported 283 grist
mills, 1913 sawmills, 3ofurniture
shops, and IL foundries. Total
employment was 6,844 people.
In Iowa, Des Moines was 19
years old in 1870 and had only
5,241 people. Sioux City had
3,4o1. Some 9,803, 184 acres of
Iowa land was then classed as
untillable. In 1870 the city of
Lincoln, Nebraska had only 2, AL
residents. Today it has over
1913, 900. Omaha had only 1888
people when ! was a boy and

1900 it had 102, SIS residents,
and now has over 300, 200.

Quotes & Comment

SAMUEL GOMPERS, founder
Of the American Federation OF
Labor: "The workers Of America
adhere to voluntary institutions
in preference to compulsory sys-
tens, which are held to be not
only impracticable, but a menace
to their rights, welfare and their
liberty. Compulsory sickness In
Surance for workers is based
upon the theory that they are un-
able to look after their own in
tereSts and the state must inter-
pose its authority and wisdom and
assume the relation of parent
or guardian"
ABRAHAM RIBICOFF, now a
U. S. senator, testifying as secre-
tary Of Health, Education and
Welfare before the House Ways
and Means Committee during the
87th Congress, when asked why
he used statistics from
"Fortune" magazine: "I find 1t
is good to use. a conservative
answer instead Of HEW's
answer"
RAYMOND MOLEY, colum-
mist: "The conservative puts his
faith in free men, unfettered,
so far as is practicable, by
state authority. He recognizes
the human fallibility of man, but
he believes he must learn through
his errors. On the other hand,
the liberal has no faith In the
individual, but believes he must
be subjected to the tyranny of
an official elite. The conserva-
tive abhors violence and ex-
tremism. He believes neither
in sudden salvation nor in in
Stant damnation."

State Senator Reaffirms
Stand Against Stamps

State Senator Cashmere
R-Lewis & Clark reaffirmed
ms stand that Senate Bill No.
40 was a positive action to
regulate trading stamps much
along the lines of many other
businesses and industries in
Montana.
Cashmere said in Helena that
since the introduction of his
bill he is more than ever con-
WINGED that there must be regu-
lations to prohibit the use Of
Montana taxpayers money in
the large holding funds of the
major stamp companies. CASH
more said, 'This bill will re-
quire financial stability by the
companies and will further pro-
vide that every person in Mon
tana saving stamps can redeem
them in cash whenever they
want. If the stamp companies
make money in the banking
business as the banks do then
we are actually encouraging
new business and industry"
Cashmere noted that it is not
essential to eliminate or destroy
the stamp business. He said that
SD las goes far enough to meet
our need without destroying the
use of stamps. He cited a stamp
company claims that stamps are
a discount for cash. SD las
would make this a true state
ment as the customer is given
the option to turn them in for
cash at their true value which
would be printed on the stamps.
The stamp companies will still
have the profits they earn from
investments while they hold
the Montana taxpayers money
and will have the additional
gain from unclaimed stamps.

that the placing of the STAMP

The signup or the 1868 feed
grain and wheat sterilization
programs now is under way in
the Asses County Office, Fred
Iversen, Chairman, Agricultur-
al Stabilizatoin and Conserva-
ton County committee, has an
nounced. The signup period
started February l and will
continue through March %.
AS for 1868, the programs
cover wheat and the three ma
jor feed grains : corn, grain
sorghum and barley A producer
eligible for both the wheat and
feed grain programs may sign
an agreement to participate in
either program or in both.
In general, the chairman
said, provisions follow those for
1861 and 1862 crops by giving
producers an opportunity to
participate in the programs by
reducing acreages at least 20
percent and devoting them to
an approved conserving use.
By participating, they will re-
ceive diversion payments and
price-support payments, and
they will be eligible to take
part in the price-support loan
program.
One important change. from
programs for previous years
Fred Iversen explained, is the
price-Support payment which
participating farmers will re-
ceive on the normal production
of the commodity acres in 1868

Fiber Content and Sweater
Quality

One good clue to sweater
quality is the fiber content and
here are some of the features
you can anticipate in the var
iouS fiberS:
Wool offers durability, resis-
lance and warmth. 1t needs
careful handling and cleaning
because of its attractiveness to
moths and its tendency to mat.
Cashmere is a luxurious fiber
that produces a soft, almost
silky feel. While not so durable
as wool, it presents the same
care problems. 1t may be blend
ed with wool or nylon to add
strength as we'll as ito reduce
the cost of the garment. Watch
for variations in the grade Oh
the cashmere. Usually the softer
and silkier the fabric, the
higher the quality.
Mohair, from Angora kids
has a fine, delicate appearance
and an interesting texture ir
sweaters. The fiber is Otter
blended with wool to make
softer yarns and to reduce cost
Another fiber that can be blen
ded with wool or other fiber,
is rabbit hair, which adds
rich texture to the blend.
OF the man-made fibers, ray
on, nylon and acrylics are mos
commonly used in sweaters.
Rayon is usually made int,
novelty sweaters with a nubb,
texture. These garments ma,
need reblocking occasional.

would allow for a thorough
scrutiny of the provisions as

recent Supreme Court action
declaring the previous stamp
act unconstitutional would have
no effect on his pending legis-
lation. "This BILL" Cashmere

a competitive basis"
