The Special Need Of Thrift Now

The Special Need Of THRIFT Now
"The most unmitlgateds curse. OF
the United States is the lack OF
thrift. pr. Frank Crane.
One of the questions we hear most
frequently discussed in connection
with the war in Europe is its prob
able effect on business and the cost
OF living in the United States.
The general opinion among those
in a position to know Is that mas
much as America will have to feed
and clothe Europe, far :, while. as
well as supply many other needs OF
the warning nations and take over
much of their former commerce
with other countries, we are in for
a period of great business and indus
trial activity in this country. Fac
tories and mills will be humming
for many months.
But there is another side to the
picture which we must face. The
prices of living necessities here are
bound to rise to some extent, and
they probably will stay high for a
long time to come.
Then it is likely that later on. in
la year or two or In several years
perhaps, this county will be called
upon to help pay for the great de-
struction OF property and the gen
eral impoverishment that are bound
to take place in Europe as a result
of this war. Our share may not be
heavy one, but we will have to pay
something.
Our fat years may be followed by
lean ones. So it behooves, US, one
and all. to follow the example OF
Joseph in the land Of Egypt and lay
up resources in times of prosperity
for possible times OF adversely.
In other words, now is the time to
make and save as much money as
you can against time when living
expenses may be higher and earning
opportunities less than they are to-
day,
There have been few periods when
the general practice of thrift by the
American people would result in 50
much benefit to the country as at
the present time.
the supply of many foreign goods
heretofore used, will make it COM
pulsory upon many people to use
American goods of similar quality
and generally OF lover price. The
consumer Will get equal quality at
lower cost and the money hereto
fore sent abroad will stay at home.
One prime necessity, however, for
the country is Increased capital. IL
may be set down as certain that for
future development here the country
because all of that of Europe will be
needed for many, years to come to
pay the costs of the present war and
to make good its ravages.
New capital is nothing more nor
less than the margin between in
come and expenditures. The only
way this country can accumulate

Jeffersonlan Extravagance.

A dispatch just sent out from Wash
ington, where the Democratic spend-
thrifts are busily engaged in conc2ct-
ing an enormous war" tax bill, an
nounces that new sixty-six horse
power touring car Of the most mod
ern type has arrived at the White
House for the president. The cost OF
the car, which was authorized by Con-
gress, is $4,000.
But, that is not all 1t is further
announced in the same dispatch that
two other new cars from the same
shop are expected to arrive soon for
the president. One Of these Is to be a
limousine costing $500. The infor-
nation is also given that new car
OF the same make-a limousine, cost
ing 81 ,500-has arrived for the secre-
tary to the president, Tumu1ty.
The same day on which this inter
esting news about the economical
management of the Democratic admin
istration was given out, came the an
nouncement from Washington
where, as has been stated, the Demo-
Gratis are busily engaged in concoct-
ing an enormous war tax emergency
bilI-that old Swamproot Bryan, who
is rafting, around in the Office of sec
rotary OF state, had induced Repre-
sentative Levy to sell Monticello, the
home of Thomas Jefferson, to the fed
eral government for the neat little
sum OF $500 ,000-half million dol
lars.
rs 1t any wonder, in the face of such
senseless and wanton extravaganza at
this time when everybody is being
warned to frugality, that the Demo
Gratis have to be so busily engaged at
Washington in framing an enormous
war" tax emergency bill?
1t is a question that cannot be
answered as to what possesses men
who boast of their "Jeffersonian sim
plicity" to throw away half a million
dollars of the peoples war" taxed
money on museum to commemorate
this simplicity Just after buying
four of the costliest automobiles in
the market for the use OF the. presi-
dent and while imposing a special
emergency war" tax,
1t would be dreadful thing for
Democratic president to have to worry
along with only one high priced auto
mobile.
