AN INDEPr.NDENl
NEWSPAPER
In finally deciding the world
court is’.ue the United States i
senate has given the public a
breathing spell after an argu
nthat has extended over a
} cii )J of more than three
years.
The argument may continue
but n >t with the dignity ol
l‘\?’ dative consideration and
nui '<>• the exclusion of more
iv-poi :;nt congressional issues.
U w... ior that reason that the j
^e"ot< for the second time in
v . ni iury invoked cloture in
is deliberations. In three years
ample opportunity had been
afforded for exhaustive de
late on the question. A fili
buster might have interfered
with the passage of the tax re
vision bill in time to put the
new blanks in the hands of
tax payers before March 15
when returns are to be made.
Unlimited debate would have
delayed action on other Im
portant issues to come before
congress. Thus the issue was
forced and now it is settled.
The world court issue is one of
the international questions
solved only by theory. It;
makes a fertile field for
prophets. If only fixed events j
were to be contemplated some j
particularly pertinent theory I
could be applied with some de
gree of assurance of certain re
sults. The United States has
voted for adherence to the
world court with reservations
a majority of the Senators i
deemed advisible. The wisdom
or fallacy of the action taken
by the Senate by a vote of 76,
to 17 remains for time to,
prove. At any rate the vote has j
finally been taken. The decks'
arc cleared for the considerat- j
ion of some of our dometsic 1
problems. For that let us be
duly thankful.
-—-O
“Old timers’’ up in the Anch
orage have evolved a new
theory to account for the pres
ent remarkably mild winter,
according to recent press re
ports from that town. The
feature of the theory is the
speculation that the “north
magnetic pole” has shifted
and that as a result “Alaska
is much farther south than
ever before,” and will, then
fore, “continue to have warm
winters”—provided, of course,
that the “north magnetic
pole,” does not go to gallivant- j
ink around again and decide
to settle down in some othei
tpot. All of which listens ;
v:ood. particularly that portion j
^elating to future warm win
ders.
It appears, however, that the ■
old timers have failed to take
:nto account the fact that
while Alaska has enjoyed a
most remarkably mild winter
dimes much farther south
have shivered in the grip of
unusually severe winter weath
er. Were this pole shifting
theory correct and Alaska
“much further south” than us
ual, how come that regions!
normally much further south
have not enjoyed an equally
beneficent release from rig-.
or’s. There are also a number
of strictly scientific objections
to the theory, which leaves it
dangling like Mohammed’s
coffin, between Heaven ana,
and nary a leg to stand on.
And again we recall that
strange fancies are bred beside
the stove in the chill of the
winter nights.
Suggestions aimed at protect
ing the public from the haz
ard^ of investing in shares of
unsound oil and mining coin-!
panies are becoming increas
ingly frequent. Practically all
of the reputable mining journ- I
als are especially active in j
proposing remedies for exi&t
:ng stock promotion evils, all j
pf which serve a worthy pur
pose in warning the public >
against unscrpulous and un
justifiable stock promotion1
schemes. One of the latest sug
gestions in this direction is of
fered by the Denver Miningj
& Financial Record, which j
roundly condemns the listing'
of prospect mining shares on j
3tock exchanges as follows:
“There is no good reason for
the listing of prospect mining
shares on any stock exchange.
Ab a matter of fact, the shares
of a company should not be
listed until that company has
completed its financing and is !
earning money. This should ap-1
ply to all shares whether min-1
ing, oil or industrial. Cut rate |
price quoting of shares of un
financed companies by short- j
selling unlisted brokers is det
rimental to the financing oi
these enterprises. As a general j
rule, purchasers of shares in
new development projects in
the mining and oil fields pa> I
their money for shares in tht !
company so that the company j
will have funds to carry out
the development plans. Invest
ors in these ventures should
hold their shares pending the
outcome of the development
work. In tihs way they will
make the full measure of prof
it. After the company hat
been developed from prospect
to mine, the shares may bt
ed stock exchange so that trau
ing in the share may be facili
tated.

TO HAVE
Your Business
ANY BUSINESS THAT tries to get along without a bank
is a very small business, even then it is not too small but
that its financial affairs should be handled through a bank.
A BANK IS one of the most important factors in the busi
ness life of the country.
TRANSACT YOUR business through our bank, no matter
how small it is now—the bank may help make it larger.
