PAY BILLS PROMPTLY
Did it ever occur to you that when
you delay paying a just debt you
force your creditor to an expense
that he did not contemplate when he
sold to you? You force him to send a
collector to you one or many times, to
spend mney for stamps, stationery
and for labor that he did not bargain
for when he sold the goods. More
than that, you by withholding money
for a time that is justly his, force him
to borrow additional money at inter
est with which to carry oh his busi
ness. Why not borrow the money
yourself and pay your bills, instead of
throwing the burden of paying inter
est on your creditor. By all means
try this this month. It will mean a
great saving and if you are in busi
ness you will get your share. If you
are merely a buyer you will still get
your share because bad debts add to
the cost of your goods.
Why not adopt a clearing house day
somewhat after the Chinese fashion.
A Chinaman never carries a debt into
the New Year. Can't we do as well as
a Chinaman.
When we started out, more years
ago than we care to look back upon,
to make our fortune we set the peg
at $25,000, believing that this sum at
interest would support us in the com
fort we are entitled to. As the years
have gone by and prices increased we
are still striving for that $25,000 and
have all but $24,964 of the sum raised.
At the present time the* Pioneers’
Home looms just around the corner,
but we have had a run for our money
and can blame no one but ourselves
for eoing into the printing business.
BENCH PHILOSOPHY
They say one fool can ask more
questions than a score o’ wise men
can answer, but there is one thing I
have been wanting to know for a long
while: How do these millionaires feel
when they leave this earthly life?
What are their sensations when they
know they’ve got to go for good?
They’ve got that monf*y and can’t
take it with ’em. There they are, all
alone. The things they’ve been claw
ing for tooth and nail are no good to
them any more, and that’s all they
have got.
I won't go so far’s to say it’s the
same in all cases but it is true in lots
of ’em that the man who has got a lot
has had to give up most everything
else worth while for his money. He’s
worked so hard that he hasn’t had
time to play with his children and
watch ’em grow. He hasn’i had time
to have a good time, be sociable and
talk to the neighbors.
ENGLISH POET LAUREATE TO;
VISIT UNITED STATES
Robert Bridges, Poet-Laureate of
England since 1913, whose visit to i
this company is being heralded. He
plans to spend a year at the Univer
sity of Michigan in pursuance of the
movement for the exchange of lectu
rers between the two countries. \\ hile
at the University Bridges will be a
guest member. In spite of his eighty
years he is still active and it will be
an unusual honor to have him visii
the United States.
He hasn’t stored ui^beautitul mem
ories that he can look back to and
say: “Well, I had that, anyway.”—Ex
change.
PRINCIPLE IS UNFAIR
(Juneau Empire)
The Tongass National Forest lor the |
year ending last June 30th turned in
to the Alaska treasury the sum of
$13,709.60. Under the terms of the
law this money is to be expended in
the “County or counties” in which the
National Forest is situated. In the
absence of county organization in the
Territory a fair and reasonable inter
pretation of the meaning of Congress
would be that this sum should be ex
pended in the First Division.
However, the members of the legis
lature from remote sections of Alaska
have insisted on dividing this money
among the four Divisions in equal
amounts. In other words, the Second
Division, with one-tenth of the popu
lation of the Division which produced
! these returns gets as much of them
as the First Division. The amount
involved is not great, but the prin
ciple of the thing is outrageously un
] fair.
The same principle that applies to
this also applies to the $2,06S.77 pro
duced for the Territory by the Chu
- gach Forest in the Third Division.
The principle involved in this mat
ter is an argument in favor of a di
vision of the Territory into counties,
or failing in that, the division of the
Territory.
