bonds, it is hardly probable that it will be able to protect the citizens in their other rights.
 The Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 are especially attractive investments. Not only have they this absolute safety characteristic of all United States bonds but they are tax free not only from all existing taxes but from any war tax that may subsequently, be levied. No State, city, nor county may tax them. The inheritance tax of the United States and of some States may affect them, or, rather, affect their transfer after death of the owner by will or by inheritance.
 Another advantage these Liberty Loan Bonds possess is that if the Government issues bonds later on dur ing this war at a higher rate of inter- est the holders of Liberty Loan Bonds will be allowed to exchange at par their bonds for bonds bearing the higher rate of inteerst.
The Coconino sun., 1917-06-01

The Government bond is the printed promise of the Government to pay back the borrowed sum of money at certain time, and to pay interest on it at regular intervals until it is repaid.
 The Government borrows money in this way only after it has been given the right to do 80 by act of Congress approved by the President, and the terms of the loan are set out in the act.
 Back of the promise of the Govern ment stands the honor of the Govern ment and all it's taxing resources. Really the whole wealth of the Nation stands behind this solemn promise of the Government to pay.
 This makes United States Govern ment bond the safest investment in the world. If the bond of the United States Government is not safe, no property in the United States is safe. If the United States can only pay its

The Liberty Loan


 "There is not a single selfish element in the cause we are fighting for '. The supreme test of the Nation has come. We must all speak, act, and serve together."- Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States.
 They also serve their country
 Why buy Liberty Loan Bond.
 The French Bond Buyers
 The French people are the greatest investors in Government bonds in the world. At the close of the Franco Prussian War in 1870 Germany de- manded and collected from France $1,0O0, 100000 indemnity. The French people, who were as loyal then in responding to their country's need as their soldiers are today, hastened to loan this tremendous sum to their country.
 Their patriotism turned great mis- fortune into great benefit. Their thrift in thus saving their money and investing it in Government bonds not only brought great prosperity to France but the bonds rose in value all over the world and made the French national credit good wherever civiliza- tion existed. Ten years after the bonds were issued they commanded a premium of 25 per cent.
 What the American Nation is called upon to do in lending the American Government $5,000, ,O00, 900 and taking its bonds therefor is little compared with the loan of s1,000,000,000 to France after the Franco-P Prussian war by the French people. Called upon to do much less than their present allies, the French, the American people will demonstrate that they are second to no people in the world in patriotic support of their Government.
 The Terms of the Liberty Loan
 The act, authorizing the Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 was issued April 24, 1917. It provides for the issuance of $5,0O0, 100000 of 3s per cent bonds, the interest payable semi-annu- ally on December 15 and June 15 of each year. The principal is repayable on or after the 18th of June, 1882, at the option of the Government, and if this option is not exercised the bonds will run full 30 years and become due on June 15, 1947.
 The bonds are exempt both as to principal and interest from all tax ation, National, State, county, or mum icipal, except the inheritance tax, which is really not tax on the prop erty, but on the transfer of property by will or inheritance.
 The bonds are to be sold at par; that is, dollar for dollar, no premium and no discount. They are to be sold
The Coconino sun., 1917-06-01

by the Treasurer of the United States and by all Federal Reserve banks. But all banks, National and State, post offices, and express companies have been designated as agents of the Government to receive applications for those bonds. It is almost as easy to purchase one of these bonds as it is to get post-office money order.
 It is not necessary to pay cash in full for bond One can pay down ? per cent of the purchase price on ap- plication-that is, s1 for $50 bond, $2 for a $100 bond, etc.-1O per cent on July 25, 1917; 20 per cent July 30, 1917; 30 per cent August 15, 1917; and the balance, 30 per cent, August 30, 1917.
 What Government Bond Is
 The Government of the United States has two methods of raising money. One is by taxation. The other is by the sale of bonds, which is a method of borrowing money.

Liberty Loan Bonds
Patriotic and Safe

Liberty Loan BOndS-
 Patriotic and Safe
 The patriotic nature of an invest ment in the Liberty Loan Bonds of 1917 is something that all Americans will consider. The fact that in pur- chasing such bond the investor is lending his money to his Government to his country-to prosecute great war, gives the investment dignity that the ordinary investment does not possess. The uses to which the money is to be put, the noble purposes to which it is to be devoted, all are things which appeal more or less to the American heart.
 But let no one be led by these con- alterations to look on buying Liber- ty Loan as piece of benevolence or merely a contribution to a worthy cause. The Liberty Loan Bond is as good an investment as an American citizen can we'll make. The rate of interest it bears may seem small, but when its absolute safety is considered and the fact that it is nontaxable, and the further fact that it is to be im- mune from any taxes which later on may be levied by reason of this war, and still another fact that in case the United States Government should later during this war have to borrow more money and pay higher rate of interest, that the holders of these bonds can secure bonds bearing that higher rate-when all these things are considered, an investment in Liberty Loan Bonds possesses advantage that no other investment in the world pos sesses.
 There is another point which wise and thoughtful people will give due consideration to and that is an invest ment in Liberty Loan Bonds is an in- vestment in the defense and preserva. ton of all their other property and all they hold dear-the preservation of their liberties. We would be in danger, if all our citizens refused to lend their money to the Government, of losing all that we have-our property, our liberties, and our national honor. It has come to this, that we must fight for these things, and to wage war in this day and time requires not only men and arms but great sums of money.
 Subscribers to Liberty Loan Bonds are charter members of society to maintain American honor and to maintain democracy here and in other parts of the world. Honor and inter- est, patriotism and business judgment all argue the wisdom of an investment in Liberty Loan Bonds.
The Coconino sun., 1917-06-01
Have you bought your Liberty Bonds?
Your Money Can
 Not Be Neutral

Don't keep your money in your pocket. Lend some of it to the Government The more you lend the sooner the war will end. Flagstaff is waking up. Her citizens are investing. The War Bonds are moving. Rich and poor, employer and employee, are walking hand in hand with Uncle Sam. The wage earner, by paying five and ten dollars each month, gets his fifty or one hundred dollar bond. He is saving his money and serving his country.
 The well-to-do invests his thousands with lively satisfaction. He finds the Liberty Bond sane investment, netting at least 3112 per cent, free from taxation (except estate and inheritance) and fully guaran- teed by the U. s. Government. He trans figures duty into privilege by financially backing the man behind the man behind the gun.
 What about you? Have you made your loan? Have you got your Liberty Bond? The longer you delay, the more you help Germany That is fact!
 You will get full particulars at any of the banks in Flagstaff. The service is free wherever you go-ONLY GO.
The Coconino sun., 1917-06-01
Makeup Flagstaff
 Do Your ''Bit''

America asks two thousand million dollars from the citizens. The government expects part of this sum from Flagstaff, about seventy thousand. Do you realize that this means s2O for every man, woman and child? Mr. Householder, whether you car ry bank account or not, take steps to meet this responsibility. A poorly subscribed loan will notify Germany to take heart. The well-of must subscribe heavily; but unless the wage and salary earners add their help, the Liberty Loan will fail. You are not accustomed to buying bonds. In France every farmer own government bonds. That is what saved France You are not accustomed to war, but you are at war. Go to your bank and ask for $50 bond, at least. You never saved, save now.

Bernstorff's Influence" Fund.

Secretary Lansings disclosure that
Count Won Bernstorff was fully aware
of the German intention to break the
Sussex pledge and TO begin unrestricted
submarine warfare, at the time that he
wrote to Berlin for authority to spend
$4,000 to influence Congress to prevent
war, puts that diplomat in peculiar
light He knew that his government
was about to do that which would make
a break with the United States virtually
inevitable. Did he think it possible,
through the exercise of $4,000 worth of
propaganda influence, to cause Congress
to refuse a recommendation by the
President that the United States declare
state of war in consequence of Ger
many's actsi Did he so misinterpret
Congress as to think that machine
made current of public opinion y
bought with his smail-change appropria-
ton. could turn the tide of American
sentiment as represented in the houses
of Congressl
Count Won Bernstorff had been in
Washington for some years, and was
rated as one of the best informed of
European diplomats at the time He
was credited with an intimate knowl-
edge of conditions here. He had trav-
eled about the country widely, had met
all sorts of people, had been cordially
received in all circles, and was in a
position to know intimately the methods
and motives of the American Legislators.

strument for such state covers many
matters nicely adjusted, and hence
should be started on its course by
trained and thoroughly competent hand.
Such hand Gov. Mccall, with long
service in Congress and at home, un-
doubtedly is.
During our civil war several men
had, and improved, opportunity on the
Union side to make regulations as
"war governors" John A. Andrew was
of the number, and stood with the fore
most Massachusetts under his guild
ance did nobly by the Union, support
ing Mr.. Lincoln and responding to all
of his calls generously.
Samuel w. Mccall now has his
chance: and that he will improve it is
guaranteed by the fact that he has i'm
proved all other chances that have come
to him. War governors are in order
now; and the man at Boston is not
likely to miss or slight so signal an oc-
casion to serve his state and country.

Primaries.

Again. and apparently with good
cause. there is criticism of the primary
election laws. In action they do not re-
deem what was promised and vowed in
their name.
For one thing, they do not bring out
the vote In New York in the contest
for the republican nomination for
mayor there were two candidates, and
yet only about one voter in four took
the trouble to 60 to the polls. The can
didates broke about even, and there is
a contest; but whoever is declared win
ner will have won by the expression of
preference by small minority of those
who were entitled to be heard
In Massachusetts the other day like
Indifference was shown in the contest
for the republican nomination for gov
ernor. Samuel W. Mccall had walk
over, but the recorded vote as compared
with the authorized vote was small.
Only languid interest was manifested.
Nominations should not be made by
minorities. In some way, by some
means, majorities- the larger the
better-should name candidates. A man
seeking Office should have as good rea-
son for his candidacy as, when his
candidacy has been Endorsed at the
polls, he has in Office for the exercise of
authority. A pronounced expression in
his favor by those to whom he is look
ing for election should mark his appeal
for votes
The old convention plan had many
defects, and was under fire long time
before being discarded. A few men, ex-
pert in caucus fixing and kindred work,
could, and often did, make nominations.
Their power gave them "pulp later if
their nominees were elected.
The primary was intended to change
this; to substitute majority action for
the action of an expert few; to "trim"
the bosses, and give the rank and file
say at all stages of the game. This re-
may not possess the power they once
did, but a large vote on primary day
has yet to be coaxed to the polls. The
disappointment is uniform and general
Something further will have to be
done in the matter. There was good
reason for adopting the primary plan;
and as good reason exists for improving
it in the light of the defects disclosed
1t may not be an easy task, however,
even for experienced men, to determine
further steps.

sional propaganda, legislative decision
adverse to the recommendations Of the
President.
One explanation Of this perversity
may be that the German ambassador
had been spending money so lavishly
during the two and a half years of the
war in Europe that $4,000 was but a
trifle and was well worth paying out to
that unnamed organization on the
chance that it might influence Congress
Had there not been heavy prior ex-
penditures it is extremely doubtful
whether so well informed and generally
astute a diplomat would have thought
it worth while to buy kilograms of pro-
test by the wholesale, especially as he
must have known by observation the
futility of these organized manufac-
tured manifestations of sentiment, to
which Congress is constantly being sub
jected as important national issues
arise.
Thus the latest disclosure by the
State Department of Count Won Bern
storff's state of mind when he asked for
his "yellow dog" fund is really most
important. as suggesting that the $4,000
item was probably only one of long
list of expense accounts, full publica-
ton of which could not fail to be in
the last degree astonishing,
