T. H. SEARS Business Manager F. W. EGELSTON Managing Editor The Bozeman Courier PUBLISHED IN THE FAMOUS GALLATIN VALLEY" THE OFFICIAL PAPER OF GALLATIN COUNTY Phone Established 80 1871 Published Every Wednesday Afternoon at No. 43 West Main Street, BOZEMAN, MONTANA REPUBLICAN COURIER COMPANY Entered in the Postoffice at Bozeman, Montana, as Second Class Matter Under the Act of March 3, 1879 SUBSCRIPTION RATES BY MAIL — PAYABLE IN ADVANCE . 11.00 $2.00 Six Months One Year Three Months $ .50 A SPLENDID WORK Nothing has ever been more beneficial from a publicity stand point than the work now being carried on by the public affairs committee of the Bozeman Kiwanis club and its influence could be widely extended. During the entire year the committee has each week com piled data showing what some particular industry is doing for Gallatin county. i he facts and figures thus brought before the public have no doubt proved surprising to many people who have spent their lives in this valley and they would be extremely interesting to anyone seeking a new residence or business location. While the committee's report has been published each week in both Bozeman newspapers, it would be well worth while for real estate men and others interested in broadcasting the advan tages of the Gallatin valley to have at least a summary of the committee's reports for the year printed in pamphlet or booklet form for wider distribution. This would work in very nicely with the publicity campaign now being conducted by the Northern Pacific, the Great Northern and Burlington railroads in behalf of Montana, and no doubt the publicity departments of these roads would be glad to co-operate at least in distribution of such a booklet. The report of the Kiwanis committee each week is extensively good reading, both for Gallatin county folks and those living out side the state who are now, or may become interested in Montana. It would be well worth while for local people to send their copies of papers containing the report to some relative or friend living outside the state each week. If this were done by only one percent of those who read the Bozeman papers it would aid greatly in dispelling the unfavorable impression of Montana created by such articles as "The Pain in the Northwest" and the unfavorable propaganda sent out by the copper interests in an effort to discredit Governor Dixon's admin istration. THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN The people of the United Slates have, by their ballots, given President Coolidge's administration their endorsement and en trusted him with the wheel of the ship of state for the next four years. Lacking any real issue, the desperate efforts of the Demo crats to make political capital out of the Fall case and other alleged "scandals" met with a just rebuke at the polls. La Follette made a very poor showing, as compared with his flamboyant claims and utterly failed to throw the election into the house, as he had hoped. The country may now settle down to four years of peace and prosperity under a regime which has already made good and was re-elected upon its record. . IDLE MONEY IDLE MONEY In its reports the treasury lists an item of about $21,000,000 of "matured debt on which interest has ceased." Practically all of that amount is represented by various issues of wartime secur ities. mostly Victory Notes, which were called for redemption months ago but the owners of which for same reason or other have failed to liquidate them. This is a striking illustration of American prosperity. Millions of dollars are carelessly permit ted to lie idle because the owners of that capital are not in pres sing need of the income from those investments. BLOC BLOCKED Bloc control of congress will probably be somewhat less severe in the approaching session. There is no election for which to prepare, and judgment can be permitted to dictate votes rather than the temporary effect such votes may have on the folks back home. President Coolidge denounced the tax bill of 1924 as be ing a political measure. * He signed it as being the bast that could probably be obtained at the time, but declared he would exert all his energies to secure an improved law at the next session of con Fn wi+B no onH x*ra Virmo that the Democrats and radicals may give more attention to sound reason ing and less to the creation of a temporary effect upon their con stituents. T*V. THE AMERICAN WAGE The radicals maintain a deep silence on the relative wages paid in this country and abroad. The fact is that American wages, ' both in rate and buying power are more than double those paid in any county of the Old World. Furthermore, our wages have advanced faster than the cost of living, until now they , bear higher relation to that cost than ever before. W T hen these facts sink into the minds of our workers they will cease to listen to those who constantly cry for a change.
