credit conditions are becoming easier. Th< >
felfcrc still far from ideal, hut the improve
? went Justifies the revival in buslnc s an.
?|iduatry that is rapidly getting under way
To take full advantage of these changed
conditions business itself must assume the
militant spirit, and that spirit must he
blazoned forth to the world. To quote from
the Record: '?Once more there should ho
d< vt loped it) ever J* business ofllce iti the
country the spirit of publicity. A pros
perity campaign of advertising should be
inaugurated. The great industrial corpo
rations even though business for the mo
ment may not be active, should advertise
on a larger, broader, more comprehensive
scale than ever before. The opportunity for
wise advertising is greater today than ever
in our history. Greater good can be ac
complished for individual business interests
iinil for the country at largo by compre
hensive advertising of the big industries of
the country and by merchants and manu
facturers, wholesale and retail."
The merchant or manufacturer who for
gets that the war is over and sits in his
olficc or s;ore waiting for business to come
to liiiu oil a silver platter is doomed to
grievous disappointment and headed
.straight fop the litiamial shoals. Not only
that, but lie is helping to drag others down
with him. Nor does it get the merchant
;,nywh( ii to hevvnil the fact that business is
no: here. The business is here and in stiili
? it nt volume if he will but go out ami gel
it. and the way to go and get it is to start
his advertising campaign vigorously, sanely,
and keep everlastingly at it until business
crowds his doors demanding an entrance,
l.ong ago was exploded the old. bowlii
kercd theory that it was useless to adver
tise when business was dull. That is the
lime the wise merchant redoubles his pub
licity nttac k. atid now. when we are be
ginning to see tin end of the post-war de
ptession, with credit conditions easing up
all along the line, is th<> time to go to it
with renewed determination. Tin mer
chant who gees to it hardest will not only
he the biggest winner in the sharing of the
profits, but he will have done more toward
restoring general prosperity to his fellow
men.
Publicity, plus determination, plus more
publicity, plus co-operation on the part of
tlie'business men of city and nation, is the
one thing that is needed now to bring the
luited Stales up to loo per cent normal
condition? To quote Dr. Tigert again, the
newspaper is the only medium to bring
about that immediate effect.
.\11 I uforl unate Appointment
-pi 11: appointment t>> President Harding
1 of .). Raymond McCarl. secretary of the
Republican congressional committee, to be
comptroller-general of th?- budget, one of
the most important positions in the Fed
eral government, is as much a disappoint
ment to the sincere friends of the execu
tive a-^ it is a surprise to those who have
n.i interest whatever in the success of his
? mini.*:ration.
No defender of the President has claimed
that th" young politician from Nebraska pos
.* -ssi ?> any -pi ial tilness for ihe duties
lie is called upon to assume He is not

limate experience in governmental affairs,
lb l-.as not studied tho processes of legisla
' ? a dealing with appropriations. He has
: ?: appear- i as a student of the budget
.* st? tii of handling government expendi
On the contrary, the only pronounced
activities of this young man have been in
the* liold of practical politics. He 110 doubt
made a good secretary of the congres donal
committee. He may have contributed
largely to tin- size of the present Republi
can majority in the House. lie may have
an attractive personality and his party may
he much in his debt for .services rendered.
All this may he freely granted without
reassuring the country as to the propriety
of naming for comptroller-general oi the
budget a man who i in no .-"nse a special
i't in the exacting business of putting into
< flt et oi:" of the great fiscal reforms of this
generation. The comptrollei-gt neralship
was created by Congress upon the theory
ll.nl a man would he named to the o1h? ?
who would 1m in< re potential than any ollu r

Take "lie of them for illustration. It

turns, $312.-13. The value of Hie house
is $ 10.000, and the returns were less
thiin :tj per eent. The hou.se was
sold it few weeks ago for i 10,000.
The buyer uses it for his home.
You say the way to remedy the rent
evil if* t<> imild more houses. <-juite
right. lint who is going to invest
in real estate with returns like thr?
above. l-'ii?iite $10.00fi invested in
Ijiherty bonds or even in Virginia
Centuries and see the difference. You
say "Richmond Is live years behind In
its building program." It is not
likely to (ati'h up as long as labor
remains on a war basis and the city
continues to lift taxes every year. I
paid taxes to the city of Itieliinond
on the housi in which ? live as
follows: 1ft 13, $ I s0.;>7 ; 11120; $2L'.s.7?!;
1921, J-M rs?;ml tin- figures again
and ponder the increase, fan anybody
hold residential real estate in the
city of Richmond and not lift the
rent above what it was three years
ago." Certainly It will not seem to
fair-minded people that a man Is a
beast if he asks the tenants who
occupy his house to pay the taxes,
repairs and insurance and allow him
a little more besides for the money
he has invested In It. You can't "curb
the rent evil" as long- as the city con
tinues to raise taxes. Is there no
remedy for extortionate taxes? Why
not an editorial on that?
