The Business of Advertising “DERHAPS, there is no other line that has under ** gone the change in the past fifteen of sixteen years such as has advertising. While advertising Tiay be traced back something like three thousand 3 to the early Egyptians who advertised for) @trayed slaves by carving notices on stones, the| early usage was not advertising as we know it,| any more than was the advertising in vogue at the time of the civil war or even later. The great change has come in the different atti- tude on the part of the advertiser and the public toward advertisements. There has been success in eliminating fraudulent advertisements, which for a long time held back the progress of advertis The result has been that large business concerns which looked askance on advertising ten or fificen years ago are now among the largest advertisers. > Banks, for instance, used .to consider it just as unethical to advertise as did doctors, and in time, doctors and other professional men and women ‘will come out of their foolish trance. In recent years advertising has won the confi- dence of the largest financial institutions and some of them are spending sums varying from a :hun- dred thousand to half a million annually and re ceiving large benefits from their enterprise. One reason for the change of both the public and the advertiser in their attitude is the constant rise in standards and truthfulness, which in earlier days were sadly wanting. There is no profession in the world where great- er skill and higher business ability is engaged. eae eee The Truck an Ally IRANSPORTATION methods in this country have been undergoing a decided improvement for some years past. Methods have been improved, along with the development of the actual means used, but there is still room for improvement. Effi- ciency and expediency are the aims which must be borne in mind in carrying out the efforts of im- proving transportation, and neither must be sacri- ficed. There must be systematic perfection in methods or progress will be hindered. One improvement in transportation or rather in the widening of facilities which are now available, must be the giving of greater attention to develop- ing facilities for shorter hauls. This is an im- rtant phase of transportation. Much of it is done over a small zone. In times of slack busi- ness it may not be so important to be able to move things quickly or to have them moved immediately but in times of great business activity the rail- roads would be overtaxed in their facilities and goods could be moved only as room was made for them on the trains, The motor truck will make it possible to relieve any possible congestion in times of business activ- ity which would overtax other transportation methods. The development of the motor truck as a Means of transportation of goods which do not re- quire carload shipment is an important factor in the coming development of dependable and quick means of transportation Markets for American Products ‘WING as they do, all local interests from the standpoint of national welfare, Republicans in the north will rejoice over manifest prosperity in the Democratic south, and will also wish that sec- tion of the country success in its effort to become more self-sufficient through the establishment of new and larger manufacturing industries. Texas, we are informed, holds the record as the greatest agricultuaral state in the union, this record, of course being due to its immense area. According to the leading newspaper of the Lone Star state, “the ssibilities of the state have scarcely been broached. There are yet millions of acres of fertile land awaiting the touch of the settler, and the state’s production could easily be increased to 1,000,000,000 annually.” That is fine, and we are all glad to believe that the figure named will be attained. It is a pleasure, also, to agree with the statement that, “perhaps | mo better way could be found to encourage agri- culture in Texas than to enlarge the facilities for manufacturing the raw materials into the finished product here at home.” That has always been a cardinal principle with the Republican party and| is a policy favored by the more intelligent and pa-| triotic Democrats. Republicans, however, apply the Principle nationally, instead of locally only. The leading newspaper of Texas is Democratic, of course, and in its national policies it advocates buying where you can buy the cheapest, But in its local policies it thus states its view of sound oe eh Crsipes | Tomboy Taylor. economics: “A great economic waste will be sus- tained as long as Texas ships her raw materials elsewhere to be manufactured and buys them back in_finished form.” No more important economic truth could have been uttered, but it is much more important asa statement of national economics than as a matter of local business interest. If Texas sends her cot ton to Massachusetts to be manufactured, and buys it back in manufactured form, tho money ‘is stili kept in the United States, but if Texas sends her raw material to England and buys it back in man- ; ufactured form, the money has left the United States entirely. The Republican view is that Texas ought, if possible, to manufacture her cot- ton foods at home, but in any event the goods should be manufactured in the United States. The same is true of goods manufactured from Texas | wool, Texas hides or any other raw materials Of that state or-any other state. The prosperity of the farmers of Texas is de- pendent upon their having a strong demand from consumers, and the best way to establish and main- tain that demand is to have a prosperous manu- facturing community as consumers. Factories in Texas will pay salaries to employes who will be the consumers of Texas agricultural products. But that is not true of Texas alone—it is true nation- ally. California cannot consume all her oranges, Oregon cannot consume all her apples, Colorado cannot consume all her cantaloupes, North Da- kota cannot consume all her wheat. The chief market for these products of the farm must be found in the cities and there can be no ready mar- ket unless the inhabitants of the cities are pros- perous. The prosperity of the city depends largely upon the success of manufacturing, and American aectorées cannot be prosperous if compelled to compete with cheap labor of Europe and Asia. The leading Democratic newspaper ‘of Texas ought to recognize this, but it doesn’t. It still op- poses a protective tariff the purpose of which is to retain for American market. +» Potentiality of Allocated Territory Discussing the ability of Great Britain and France to meet their debts to the United States treasury, entirely too little has been said concern- | ing the 930,000 square miles of former German ter- vitory in Africa acquired by those countries as spoils of war. In order to acquaint the people of this country with the great potential value of those colonies something of their resources is not out of place at this time, since those victors in the war are pressing down on Germany for reparations and are keeping silent about the things already gained. One of these territories, Tanganyika, is that part of former German East Africa that was al- located to Great Britain. Its total area is, about 365,000 square miles, equal to the combined area of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Kentucky, Iowa’ and Missouri. Along the eastern border of the old Ger- man colony is a strip of about 20,000 square miles that went to Belgium and now forms a part of the Belgian Congo. Tanganyika has a coast lines of 500 miles, which includes at least six natural har- bors. Small towns are at each of those points, suf- ficiently large to handle the small trade that comes from a country so completely undeveloped, In July, 1922, Tangavyika was made the sub ject of a special report (5 parlia nt in which ex: isting conditions in th are thoroughly iewed and its f : ts estimated.

But the British government is\exerting itself to develop the resources that are to be found every- where. Several agricultural experiment stations are maintained. The total number of cattle is al- ready 3,147,000, ‘and the sheep and goats number 3,405,000. The Tanganyika forest department was ndt established until the end of 1920, but already “investigations have revealed the presence in large quantities of valuable timber, principally “Pencil Cedar,” Yellow Woods,” and many others for which common trade names do not exist. “West African mahogany is found growing to a giant size while mangroves of excellent quality cover large areas. Mining prospecting was prohibited ‘until June, 1921, but in the one year since then 395 claims sere registered for prospecting for gold, diamonds, sil- ver, copper, asbestos, mica, molybdenum, coal, salt and soda deposits. Licenses have been granted for mining coal over an area of 950 square miles. There are indications of mineral vils, but prospect- ing for oil is not permitted at present. Because of the undeveloped natural resources, there are mn) manufactures, and only 500 miles of narrow guage railways, and 2,900 miles of motor roads. It is apparent that Tanganyika is essentially ka give: reached fore they were made available to settlement anid development. There is every reason to believe that the territory will eventual! ly yield riches compar- able to .tHose of groups of our wealthiest states, That wealth will be fully revealed long before the time set for final payment of the British debt to this country, and can bedepended upon by the Brit- ish government to meet a very large share of that obligation, The Year of Jubilee “INTHE YEAR just closed has made economic history,” says Armour’s Magazine. “In the future it will be known as the year during which industry recovered from the depth of the depres- sion into which it had fallen as the result of the waste of war.” It will also be known as the first full year of the Harding administration, while the “waste of war” and “cost plus” may be chalked up against the account of the Democratic administra- tion which preceded it.

George Rothwell Brown has made a real contribution to the political history of the times. Except for some general observations on congress as a whole, and a most interesting chapter on the senate in evolution, Mr. Brown's book deals tn the main wth leadership in the house of representatives. Tracing the 4e- velopment of leadership in our legis- lative bodies from colonial times, the author treats with clearness and d's- cernment the history of the gradual centralizing of authority in the pre- siding officer of the house, which cul- m nated in the power of the speaker- ship under Reed and Cannon. Mr. Brown gives a graphic account of the so-calied “Revolution of 1910,” 1 which the speakersh!p was shorn of a large part of its power, and in- terestingly sketches the evolution and growth of the new system of leader- sh p under which a large part of the control formerly vested in the speak- This system, inaugurated at the beginning of the Republican Sixty sixth eon- gress, was developed during that con- gress and the present congress under Mr. Mondell. While the author pays high tribute to the efficiency of the centralized system, wh'ch lodge vast power !n the speaker, he pays an even higher compliment to the new leadership. He tells us, for instance, that by its very for floor leader was nevertheless » lected for that office in the organ'za- sion that was perfected under Mr. Mann's resolution and confirmed by a subsequent confereace. Mr. Brown then proceeds to g ve his opinion of the new organization and its opera- tions, and it is interesting to trace this in his own words. “At the beg.nning of the Sixty: sixth congress Mr. Frank W. Mon- ‘eli of Wyoming was elected floor leader of the majority by the Repub- lican conference and he has been re- sponsible very largely for the devel- pment of the new system of party government in the house since that time, exerting upon the institut on of house manageluent an influence com- nensurate with that of Thomas Reed luring the perlod when the idea of niralized authority was beng orked cut. ‘The task of the new cadershipof Mr. Mondell was® infi- nitely more difficult than that of Mr. Cannon. To the extent this was so s his success the more notable. ‘Mr, Mondell was gifted in a very high degree with precisely those qual- tes essential t. floor leadership un, ler: the conditions as they existed. He had served in the house cont'nu- ously since the Fifty-sixth congress, and had been a member of the Fifty fourth congress under Reed. He isnew the business of «Pngress as thoroughly as da Mr. Mann or Mr. Gillett. Strong enough to withstand the tremendous pressure of special in- ‘rests brought to bear upon him, wih an even temperament, cons!der able natura] polltical instinct, enough character, it was “/nfin'tely more dif- ficult than had been that of Mr. Can- non”; that the new system has the advantage over the o'd of “greater flexibility and friendlier democracy,” and that under it the house has “grown ‘iimensely stronger,” and os- tablished a “truly remarkable reco of successful legislative enactment. | Inasmuch as the story of the old regime has frequently been told, greater interest naturally les in the recital of the adventures and accom- plishments of the new. The author sets out mosteinterestingly the drama- tic features of the spirted contest which occurred in the conference of |Republican members-elect to the Sixty-sixth congress for the purpose of selecting a speaker and perfecting & new house orgunization, He relates how, wh'le Mr. Gillette won over Mr. Mann for the speakersh'p, the latter, by offering an attractive substitute for the resolution carrying the Gil- lette plan, succeeded in having his plan of organization adopted. Under the Mann plan there was organized a committee on commitees of one member from each state hay- ing Republican representation, each member casting a vote equal to the republican membership from his | State; a steer'ng committee of five (afterward enlarged to seven), cnd a |floor leader who was chairman of the committee on committees and of the steering committee.
