VOIíÚME XI WISDOM, MONTANA. THURSDAY. APRIL S. 1923. NUMBER 30 New Agricultural Credit NEW AGRICULTURAL CREDIT Gradually arrangements are being perfected tor putting into operation the farm credits bill enacted by the last congress, and gradually the country is coming to understand the character of this new credit and the requirements for securing it. As a rule the new system has the approval of the secretary of the treasury and banking interests generally, but the country finds it difficult to divest the plan of the red tape that seems to be inseparable from all government controlled agencies. Now that the additional credit is available, a good many level-headed farmers are wondering whether af ter all it was more credit that they needed There can be no doubt that much of the agricultural distress to day is the direct consequence of too much creolt, too easy credit. In the coiunvicial world it is known that “ three fourths of the business failures in this country, excepting those which were brought about by downright dishonesty, were brought about by too easy rather than too light credit ” And along this line the president of the Northwestern National bank made some very perti neit remarks at the recent price sta bilization conference at St Paul He said. “ The trouble with many farmers has been the same as with people in other lines of business; they havt spread out too much of their capi tal, and the result has been that many have no working capital at all In this condition anyone is sure to In embarrassed when money condition are adverse It Is Just as necessary for the farmer to create a surplus or a reserve fund for a rainy day as it is for a banker or a manufacturer Too much land is the trouble in many cases. When a farmer applies to a country banker for funds a fi nuncio I statement should be requir ed, ard if he is continually increas ing his indebtedness without good cau'-'e he should be treated the same as the merchant in the city whose debts aie increasing unduly every yeir— ciedit is either restricted or diried In many instances the coun try bar ker should have refused cred it instead of granting it The good banker is the man who, when things are booming, holds back and says 'no’ and when the panic strikes has t1, 1 cm rage to see hie client through. The banker who says yes’ In boom timne end gets scared and says 'no' when panic strikes is a menace to his community.’ One very important point to be considered is the better standing commercially that the new financing system g Pes the fi rmer and stock man The very fact that these addi tion!- facilities are new available places h.m on a better and surer footing in case he finds himself in need of credit, and every up-to-date fanner and stock grower uses more or less credit in his operations. Jn the case of farmer and stoek- men who are hopelessly in debt the additions! credit now provided may be of 'ittle use,although it may make the burder, easier to carry. The oat- standing feature of the new eredrt system is that agriculture is nearer a parity In this respect fath other bttsines Interest ten ever before.— Journal Stoekmaa. WHY CREAM TESTS VARY f R McCargar, in charge of the mechanical department of the Big Hole creamery at Wisdom, hands u3 the following, for which we are very grateful, and we publish it in behalf of the creamery and its patrons; “ Why do different lots of cream, from the same separator vary so much in per cent of butterfat?” 1 Speed of separator. The faster the bowl turns the richer the cream, the slower the thinner. 2 Amount of dirt in the separ ator As the slime accumulates in the bowl the cream becomes thinner, but there will be more of it. 3 Rate of inflow of the milk. The faster the milk goes in, the thinner the cream, if the milk hopper is kept full all the time the extra pres sure carries the milk through faster than when it is low in the can. 1 Per cent of fat in the milk A rUher milk gives a richer cream iven when the separator is ruu ex actly the same in the two cases. B Temperature of the milk when separated. Any decrease in the size of the hole out of which the cream is delivered from the bowl will increase the percent of fat in the cream Cold cream sometimes thus clogs the pas .age and causes a richer cream to be delivered Adjustment of cream screw Th s may have jarred or been turned by someone without the knowledge jf the one com plain ing 7 Cream will rise on cream and f the top be poured off to make but ler for the home the portion sold is hinner than the average 8 Hand oklmtiied cream is very variable. Thick from cans and ■rocks, and thinner from deep ones To do clean skimming and wrear veil all machines require being set evel and securely screwed to a firm oundation. The milk should not he molar than 80 degrees Fahrenheit NATONAL I’ AllKH TO OPEN The secretary of the Interior de partment announces June IB as the late of opening of Glacier park this season, Vellowstone park to < r n ive days later. The secretary in his '.nnouncement very prettily says 'W 'h a lavish hand nature has moulded throughout our land the lost magnificent and awe inspiring set.nei y, surpassing In beauty and grandeur that offered by any foreign country. These i u .is— our national parks— have been set aside by the American government to be main tained untouched by the inroads of modern civilization so that you and you'- children may enjoy them Roads have been built through deep cut canyons, across towering moun tain ranges, beside rippling streams filled with fighting trout, and into prima! forests. Hotels and camps have been erected to provide com fortable accommodations in the most distant and inaccessible places. Free camp grounds have been provided for those who wish to bring their ov.n equipment and eamp out. These unspoiled bits of native America are for you. They are the playgrounds and the reereation parks of the peo ple. To visit them and see them is to inspire pride and make more real your love fon Araeriea. “ In the name of the government I nvite you to be its guest.” FOREIGN RFEF FOR AMERICA American cattle growers who im- agii. j they are seeure in their pos session of the American market nod safu from the competition of foreign - erg have reason to do a little think ing and figuring before the discount > e future too much, says The Oma ha Journal Stoekm&a.

There is no death; beneath the snow the tides of life forever flow, a little checked, a little spent, but waiting still in deep content until God shall speak once more to earth His magic word of yearly birth. Though Move from sin or sorrow’s pole, chill winter storms sweep .j or the soul; though buried deep and half congealed, its warmth of life all concealed, and only outward death re- v i ltd, yet close at hand a glory waits— God's spring is evi at the gates. Let me awake and share the power which moves alike in man and flower. Who triumphs over loss and pain to labor for another's gain, within his heart is risen htgh the soul of Him who cannot die. — BOB ADAMS ! ! I ! I } i J WHERE'S THE DIFFERENCE Andrew Carnegie left four and one half biliion dollars in a fund to provide pensions for friends and others unable to care for themselves, The court held that this sum was not subject to an inheritance tax by thy Tate, on the ground that it was sot aside by Carnegie for charitable pitr- poses and was construed to be a self« imposed tax It prevented increas ing state taxes by eliminattg many cases which the state would other wise have had to provide for A man in Illinois who was killed in an automobile accident left $76^- ohl) accident Insurance, which was all that stood between his family and charity from neighbors a>pd the community He had taxed himself heavily to prevent those dependent upon him from becoming a burden upon the public Yet the sum left by this man s subject to a dozen different kinds if taxation, insurance companies be- ng compelled to pay toll on premi urns, capital stock, license fees and other assessments too liumtrous to mention The rasonlng of the court in de daring exempt from taxation proper ty of Carnegie set aide for charit able purposes is readily apparent,but the logic of politicians subjecting funds of insurance companies, used to prevent increasing the taxes of the state by eliminating cases of charity to taxation is not readily un derstandable. SW ATTING “THEMSELVES Well meaning but semi intelligent dunderhead politicians are always ready to swat a corporation. Wheth er it is a bank, a mine or smelter, a railroad or a utility, on taxation the rule is sock-it-to-’era. They do it to spite the nose on their face, because they mast know the taxes paid are, next to labor, the biggest fixed charge and the basis of rate-making. Take one railroad la a Western date— the O. W. R. & N. in Oregoh: Taxes on operating property for 1916, $587,173.84; taxes 1921, $1,- 187,246.22. Who does Mr. Soek-ft- te-’em Dunderhead suppose pays this tax? If be eould think clearly for a Moment he would know mighty well. Isn't it the prod seer In tie first place and then the consumer? W ien legislators think they are swatting the corporation they are rwatting tie farmer and merchant with high freight rates. HONOR ftOUi JACKSON NEWS NOTES Perfect attendance at tie Wisdom tehee!

L e * t e t e Jatear, n r a p «■n PUBLIC OWNERSHIP Every new political party these days thinks it must favor public ownership of all public utilities, in cluding the railroads. This has come to be the plank in their plat forms upon which they depend very largely in their appeals for member ship The organizers of these parties never tell prospective members that public ownership of utilities would remove 60 billions of properties from the tax rolls. Millions of era ployes who are now dependent on faithful service to the public to hold their jobs would become indifferent and Indolent political Jobsters. All of the plants and properties and all of the securities of railroads, Htrqet railways and lnterarb*»*, ot ptower and light companies, and all other utilities, would become exempt from taxation under public owner ship, Who, In that event, will pay the hundreds of millions in taxes now paid by the privately owned utiltfles of the country? The answer is easy; The few remaining already overburdened taxpayers will carry that additional load There is all the differenct possi ble between political ownership, at the expense of the taxpayers, and ownership as stockholders in utlli ties, which is real public ownership CARL SWANSON DEAD Carl Swanson died at 8:30 Tues day morning in Wisdom at the age of B9 years. Deceased was a long-time resident of the Basin and considered one of its crack irrigators and feeders. He was as honest as the day is long end wortLy the irany trusts reposed in him A nephew in Washington and two nieces in tan Eastern city are said to be the only relatives of the deceased in America and funeral arrange ments cannot be announced until they have been heard from.
