EES ee Ress Se NO TRIMMINGS ON THE FLAG Amendment to the American flag came before the United States senate the other day Senator Walsh of Montana, a Democrat, introduced the matter. He desired the old reliable banner of the free decorated with a border of white, signifying peace, truce some other such fool idea. He thought look better during the arms conference than the well known red, white and blue waving in the gentle Po- tomac breezes from the dome of the capitol and other government buildings of the nation’s capital. The old emblem stands for peace just as it is and without additional decorations or embellishments. It always has stood for peace and always will. The alternate white stripes ‘xJicating our peaceful atti- tude are already in our banner, alongside the red of war, proclaiming our willingness to fight to secure the peace we love. And the blue of the starry field de- notes our steadfastness in either peace or war. No, our emblem needs no additional trimmings to interpret us to the world. It is perfect as it is. It is known and respected now in every land. Most peo- ple desire to come under its protecting folds. They read no aggression, ne jealousy, no double dealing or deception in its colors. Wherever it goes it is re- garded as the symbol of a people devoted to peace and good will, to square shooting if necessamy and to square dealing with everybody always. The Montana senator got nowhere with his amend- ment to the flag, for there was on guard that day a iar standard he had looked upon all his life and loved with all the strength of his American man- hood, Reed Smoot, who arose in his place and said: The American flag is good enough as it is. Nothing can be added, nothing taken from it to make it more perfect. I object to the waste of time in considera- tion of such folly as decorating the American fing. Whereupon * every American citizen murmure! amen! and every American flag waved =in sympathy with the sentiment of Reed Smoot. iA thou Leta 2 WHO SHOULD OWN THE BUSINESS. Careful analysis will r€adily convince, the intelli- gent and fair-minded personsof the fallaciousness of the bolshevistic theory that workers should own the business. Crafty and dishonesty agitators, have, how- ever misled honest-minded men by sophistry, and have actually made converts to their teachings. ‘These non- producing breeders of discontent, posing as the friends of workers, would, if their teachings gained any gen. eral acceptance, prove to be actual enemies and de ceivers of all workers. Application of vague theories to concrete cases will soon test their soundness. For example, one of the largest shoe manufacturers in the United States—per- haps the one best known to the public—began his ca- reer pegging shoes for wages in a small shop. He saved his earnings and started a one-man shop of his | own, He worked early and late, made good shoes, paid his bills, treated his customers courteously, and saved his profits and built up a-trade which enabled him to enlarge his shop, hire assistants, and gradual- ly increase his output until he now has an immense es- txblishment giving employment to thousands of work- men and supplying shoes to all sections of the United States. That establishment is typical of thousands of others great and small. In such a business as that, who owns or should own the concern? The workmen at the benches or the man who gradually built up the indus- try by initiative, ability, thrift and integrity? The answer is clear. There were undoubtedly ten thousand other shoemakers’ apprentices who had ex- actly the same opportunity as this man. jome of them had equal integrity but lacked the skill. Some had both integrity and craftsmanship but lacked the busi- ness sagacity necessary to build and manage a large and complicated enterprise. Some of them may have had the skill and organizing ability but lacked thrift, and never could save enough to enlarge their busi- ness. Others had ability, and thrift but yielded to the temptation to make immediate profits at the sacrifice of honesty, and they never built up a reputation that would sell their goods. For one reason or another, the vast majority continued as wage earners or small operators while the few became proprietors of large factories, giving profitable employment to large num- bers of men. The detelopment of such a manufacturing estab- ishment with cost of production reduced to a mini- mum because of quantity of production would have been impossible under any s¢heme of ownership by the workers. No organization of workers would have ac- i the savings needed to: build the plant and 7y—profits would have been distributed dividends. No organization of workers ‘ould have built a reputation for quality of goods and financia? dependability. No organization of workers ave been able to buy raw materials at just the e and in thé best markets or to discover the ets for sale of goods. No organization of ve been able to borrow huge sums the concern over a bad year or bad er could any orgenization of work- who would do for them what a elf under the inspiration of de. je of sceomplishmrent. or} this would} One unwilling to permit-any change in the} bets of the considerations, there is no room for} doubt as to who owns or ought to own a business built up by any individuals’ ability, initiative, thrift and integrity. ee ARMY COSTS. The most authoritative data on army expenditures thus far available indicates that the per capita mili- tary expenditures for purely army purposes of the five principal powers is as follows: ; Continental: United States, $3.22; Great Britain, $12.85; France (excluding dependencies), $22.52; Ita'y, $6.70; and Japan, $3.38. Including t possessions or dependencies for each, the per capita ruined within one-tenth of the time it took to build; for}- to complete the paving of highway across the concrete highway, from 20 to 40 feet: is: United States, $2.89; British Empire, $1.71; France, $10.24; Italy, $6.34, and Japan, $2.42. Actual expenditures of the five powers on the arm- ies, exclusive of the air services, on a current basis are approximately as follows: United States, $343,- 00,006 (being the total for the army and fortifica- tions Tor the fiscal year 1922) ; British Empire, $755,- 000,000; France, $933,000,000, including $54,000,- 000 in addition to the budget for the army of the Le- vunt; Italy, $245,000,00; Japan, $189,000,000, includ- ing a special allotment of $50,000,000 for the Si- berian expedition. . The pay scale for privates per day for men of the lowest grade is: United States, $1; United Kingdom, 69 cents; France, 5 cents; Italy, 4 cents; Japan, 6 cents. The ration costs per man per day rans about United States, 40 cents; United Kingdom, France, 33 cents; Italy, 69 cents, and Ja- pan, 17 cents. pe Se FINANCE CORPORATION OF WYOMING. The needs of modern business have given rise to financial institutions closely related to national and state banking, yet having distinct characteristics and serving purposes and answering commercial conven- banks ‘to become concerned. Wor instance there is what has come to be known as commercial banking. Enjoying a wide latitude and performing offices for a class of clients the wonder of which is how they ever got along before the financial genius evolved com- mercial banking. ; ; In this particular field the most recent Wyoming cencern to offer its services to the public is the Fi- }nance Corporation of Wyoming, founded by well- | known business men of Casper. It is erected upon a |} foundation of the widest, wisest and most scientific | banking and commercial experience. Its immediate function is to liquidate for clients authenticated com- mercial paper, credits and assets, which from their} nature can only be handled through an institution specially authorized and equipped for handling such transactions. The Finance Corporation of Wyoming is empow- ered under its charter to purchase commercial ac- counts receivable, trade acceptances, drafts, notes re- ecivable, certificates of deposit, contracts on auto- mobiles, trucks and other choses in action upon which guarantee is made by. the dealers, merchants, man- ufacturers, jobbers or other owners of the credit passed to the corporation. This brings into the daily business channels collateral assets in liquid form that would otherwise remain for months dormant . or} “frozen.” It is not difficult to realize the extended power and scope such convenience give to the local community in “finance. It is, reduced to elemental principles, cash in hand «when a transaction is con- cluded; an@»enables repeated and constant turnover of capital and enables those with large capital perma- nently invested in plants, material, finished stock and uncompleted trartsactions in sales and marketing, to realize upon values, equities and interests, turnéd upon a cash basis. A strong point in favor of suchi a corporation as the Finance Corporation ming, is, in addition to the integrity and high char- acter of its officers and directors, that each and every nsaction is guara’ tr er’ painstakin to stockholders is the absolute safety nee Corporation of Wyo- an immense business. utions are at once divi- ock in trade is money and in | volume of bus whieh it is don prepared ful fin: rs. pa: are immediate. tal stock of the Finance Cor- of g is $500,000. Ten thousand | sha: per cent cumulative preferred stock, par | value $50 per share; and 5,000 shares common stock, no par value. Every share of stock has been or will be paid for in cash. There is no promotion stock, rewards for organization services. Of- ficers ectors, agents, employes and all others must buy their shares at the same price and upon the | same terms as the public. The officers and directdrs of the corporation em- | braces many of the leaders in business affairs of the city of Casper and at other points. It is a roster of integrity and character. The very names associated with the corporation give it strength and stability and is the h guarantee to the investing public and ure clients. ~ e officers are: P. J. O’Connor, president.

He has a unique record and one that instantly commends itself to pros- pective investors and customers. In fifteen years’ ex- perience as banker and trust manager in charge of loans he has never had to charge off to loss a single five cent piece. The board of directors fucludes such men as Attor- ney G. R. Hagens of Casper, vice president and di- rector Glenrock Oil company and director Natrona | Power company; Attorney H.
