The vocation of the bill collector : is a perfectly legitimate one, and most of the claims he pre sents to alleged debtors are valid ones, but the fact remains, never theless, that no man welcomes to his door the man who makes himself the. go-between in negotiations de signed to adjust the business rela- ' tions of debtors and creditors. , What is true of individuals is also true of nations. . The individual cred itor can press his claim in a reason able manner without losing the re spect and good will of his debtor, but when he undertakes to collect the claims of others which have been assigned to him, he is entering upon a field of activity that is sure to lose him, all the good will he ever enjoyed. He is assuming a thanks- less job. . That is exactly the position into which a lot of ill-advised Americans would get this nation- if they could have their way. They want the United States to become the '-bill- collector of the Allied Nations in the matter of war obligations. They would have the American government take over the claims against Germ any, thus freeing otluer nations of the unpleasant task of collecting, and making Germany a perpetual en emy of the United States. Some of those who propose that the United States thus sacrifice its . good will for the benefit of various European governments are shrewd enough to propose -that in beginning only claims of Belgium be taken over, but, cf course,' this would be only a first step - and whon once taken and a precedent established, the other assignments would follow. The United States is not posir-g as a special friend of Germany. Neither is this country willing- to be made a perpetual enemy of that country. We went into the war re gretfully, prosecuted our part of it as vigorously as an inefficient- ad ministration would permit, and we are willing to bear our share of the cost, including - the burden of. en mity that must naturally result.1 But we are not seeking an opportunity to increase our burden of either ex pense or enmity. The proper ipro ceedure is to let each creditor col lect his own claims, the United States collecting only those debt due this nation in the regular cours of our international relations It might be pertinent to remark, as a -matter of friendly advice to a considerable number of pro-foreigners of American birth, that real, honest-to-goodness Americans are get ting mighty tired of this unceasing effort to find some way to compel this nation to make the suprem sacrifices of which Mr. Wilson wis the original proponent. Everyone admires a persistent man, but it would be easier and pleasanter to admire the persistent propagandists if they .would exert themselves in behalf of America once in"á while instead of thinking . all the time about the welfare of Europe. We have troubles enough of our own. out millions f il.illiis to c '.try but Any citizen who saw the enormous waste around shipyards or factories where national roles and wage scale were in forc3 during :he war, can well imagine why any industry should struggle against the strangling in fluence of inefficiency and the don't care attitude which such a non competitive system develops. If the railroads were allowed to adjust their affairs the same as any WORKMAN'S ACT WILL PASS taking this course are guarnntt-ed positions at as high us two hundred dollars a month. Is not this a magnet to draw young men and women away from the farm and fill the cvties with more job hunters? " Does it not make every yours;- man and young woman working in j posit on t a bank or counting room on a count- considered ing machine discontented? How far is state paternalism and state socialism to be carried to in crease the ranks of the dissai isfkvl and disappointed? other industry is doing, great econ omies could be made, the needs of industry could be met and industry would increase.

I believe you have a right to or ganize as long as you act squarely and fairly upon the broad principles of union organization, but there is me thing I don't think you have a "ight to do .and that is impose un necessary, burdensome, grevious and oppressive restrictions" upon industry nd I haven't any hesitation in say- ng that I think you have been guilty of doing things that are costly, in efficient and oppressive in your, ac tions toward us. The prniciple objections the em- laid upon the desk of each legislator the first day of the session. The auditor even submitted a draft of a proposed appropriation bill on the basis of the budget. Thus the work was done in advance on at least the skeleton of the measure, on which presentation to the house has been delayed till the last hours. The net result of the house ap propriation committee's work has been elision of items that bring the total about 1,250,000 below even the governor's deep pruning. It is al leged there is a degree of politics in the work and that suppoi t of the Republican governor is farthest A great deal of interest has besn created throughout the state in the "Life Bonds" of the Near East.'Re lief, which are being tlistributed from the state office in Phoenix. Tiiese bonds bear 20 coupons, eachof which sells for 1.00, the total amount procured for the bond being .sufficient to feed four' Armenian children for a whole month. The school and Sunday schools are taking up the .bonds with- much en thusiasm; in some., cities corps of students sell the , coupons on the street, and the success which they are attaining demonstrates that the "Life Bonds", which mean the sav ing of starving children, are prov ing a popular investment. The magnitude of the work of the Near East Relief is not? generally realized. The organization 'is now maintaining 223 ojphanages, 5S hos pitals and "an indelinite number of refugee camps, the latter of which are constantly increasing in number. The Red Cross formally turned its work in this country over , to the Near East Relief, and tliis ..is the only agency at "v.'ork in this ancient land where Christ was born. The remnant of .the Armenian nation that is .left is gathered . in these orphanages and refugee camps, and relief work is urgent, a ces-tion of supplies for a single week would mean the death of thousands, of 'wo men and children.

The railroads refuse to be nation alized and state that their .oppos ition to national agreements is not an attack on labor organizations but 13 an effort to get the opportunity to run their own oasinuss the same as any other irWustry. If the fight to nationalize railroad labor is successful, it i bat a step farther to nationalize labor condi tions in our mines, our sawmills, oar factories, our new-fpi-.pais or' cur hotels.

There has been no place where we have suffered from these things more than we have rifiht here in Butte. "It is constant fighting .over the jurisdiction of work , that makes op pressive conditions. If we can estab lish reasonable conditions, reasonable rules' under which we can go ahead and do business, and . if we can cut out these greivances which we feel are foolish and oppressive, there if no reason why we cannot proceed amicably, fairly, decently and self respectingly and co-operate in our work.. . "If we can get-down to a decent basis witr one another, one that is fair, we are ready to go ahead, and if we cannot we are ready to break. . . .If we agree, we will continue just as we have in the past to try to live up to our obligations and expect you to live up to yours, and if it comes to the point where we must break, it is a break for good.' 0::'.y the drill can tell . whether there is oil in the Verde valley, -ac cording to Francis Wilson, well- known geologist, after making an examination for the Surety Oil com pany. On the whole, he did not find conditions very encouraging. .Most of the recks lie flat in the Verde valley, he said, and the only fold ho majority is of only one vote.. That r.oted was in the vicinity cf C. C. GOVERNMENT AND TAXATION Thomas Jefferson said that the people who were the least governed were the best governed. Germany that had the most pat ernalism and regulation of industry and citizens was the worst off. The school teacher who makes scores of new rules regulating the children has the worst time with her children. The fewest and simplest rules and those lived up to produce the best children at home or in school. Those who want everything regu lated by laws and commissions and j inspectors must pay high taxes. If our industries and business and movements and even personal habits ' arer putu under government regula- ; tion we must expect high taxes. lhe harder the state or nation makes it to start anything in the way of an enterprise that is going to . employ labor the harder times i. il THE UNIVERSAL CAR Probably there is no other ear t!:t every day in the year meets the demand of the physicir.11 as does the Ford Coupe, vith its permanent top, its broad seat and deep upholstering, its slidingplate glass windows, by which in a minute the car is changed from a closed cr.r to an opea car.- Equipped with an electric starting and lighting system, demountable rims v.-ith Vz inch tires all around and embodying all the established merits and economies of the Fcrti car.
