H the chief topic of interest
with club women, at least
~ locally. What the Con-
gressional union has done
and what it is likely to do in Ne
braska after the conference of We'd
nesday is the prime subject for specu-
lation: Who will it draw into its
ranks?
Mrs. F. D. Wead, president of the
Political Equality league, seems to
have discovered the reason women arc
focking to the standard of the Com
gressional union. "Suffragists are be-
ginning to feel that good-natured
methods don't get them very far.
That's why they swing over to the
more militant Congressional union,"
she said.
II believe sentiment for suffrage is
really an accomplished fact in this
country. All that is needed is little
violent stirring up and the vote will
be granted women" is the way Mrs.
w. H. Hatteroth looks upon it.
ITO consider plans of work to Sc
cure the passage of the Susan B. An
thony amendment granting nation
wide suffrage to women and to form
a state branch of the Congressional
union" is given in the call to confer
ence as reason for appearing on the
scenery, so to speak.
Miss Marget Whittemore, from the
national headquarters at Washington,
D. G., will be the principal speaker.
The committee of luncheon patron
esses includes; Mrs. o. A. Abbot, IT,,
Grand Island; Mrs. A. c. Anderson:
Mrs. Fannie Balding. Fremont; Mrs
Francis Brogan; Mrs. E. NJ. Fairfield
Mrs. Charles Johannes; Mrs. Charles
I. Kountze; Mrs. I. L. Matthews,
Fremont; Mrs. D. R. Mills; Mrs.
Joseph Polcar; Mrs. Louise Pound.
Lincoln; Mrs. Halleck Rose and Miss
Clara Schneider, Fremont.
A group of young girls, headed by
Misses Anne Clifford, Eugene Pat
terson and Helen Sorenson, will act
as ushers at the luncheon.
Plans for the suffrage scltool to be
held i'll Nebraska the latter part of
March were discussed at a special
meeting OF local suffragists held at
the Young Women's Christian asso-
citation Saturday, with the state presi
dent, Mrs, w, f. Barley of Lin
coin, present.
To teach suffrage workers the best
methods of campaigning is the object
OF maintaining the schools through
out the country. The national asso-
citation sends the teachers. four of
them, and the course includes history
of suffrage, argument. legislative
work, organization, publicity and pub
lie speaking. The local suffragists
have to provide for the school and
secure enough women to take the
course to make it worth while. A
small charge is made.

of their money to the poor at home
and the suffering abroad When one
realizes how much unselfish effort is
being put forth for others all the
time, he cannot help but be optimis-
tic. Another form Of raising money
for relief purposes and incidentally
of giving pleasure to a great many
of us will be the presentation Of

players on February 20 at the Bran
deis, for the benefit of the American
Ambulance hospital in Paris.
This week will see few out-of-the
routine events. Bridge clubs and in

forms of entertainment and even
these will depend chiefly on the

primary intent Of saving, but as
matter of safety and convenience
and to get the temporary advantage
of the small interest sometimes PAID.
AS a matter of cold-blooded fact, 1t
is very likely, if the savings deposits
were all changed into checking ac-
counts, that there would be more
money available for capital enter
prises because of the greater free
dom of lending thus made possible.
The real, primary and essential pur-
nose of saving deposits is for the
benefit of the individual deposltors,

the American people have underwent
ten in the interest of decency and
fair play. Inasmuch as our national
Indebtedness is about II per cent of
our annual income this loan repre-
sents as safe n war issue as any ma
ton ever put out. The loan will 90
through with a rush, because the
PEOPLE realize that if it does not 90,
nothing else will go and our property
rights will be lost forever. 1t is evil
dent that this loan must have first
claim upon our investment resources
and that every citizen must go his
financial limit in subscribing for
these bonds. The situation clearly
iustifes one in borrowing from his
bank to make the purchase, or in
taking the bonds upon the instalment
rlan. This is by far the largest
financial operation ever attempted IN
the United States and it must have
an important bearing upon the
money market. But the bank posi-
ton of the country is so sound and
the details of the loan offering have
been so admirably handled as to in
dicate that the money market will
not be unduly disturbed by this
unique operation. There never was
better cooperation in money market
affairs than that which has devel-
oped of late under the impulse of
war necessity.
"The country is gradually adjust
ing itself to the changed conditions
imposed by the new scheme Of war
taxation. The burdens are great,
but the people are prepared to
shoulder them. A tax of 4 per cent
upon relatively small incomes is such
novelty in the United States that
its effect upon the many thousand
small taxpayers will be quite as in
teresting as the adjustment of rich
men to the 80 per cent eXaction
against incomes Of more than ST.
100000. 1t is a great relief to elLmi-
nate the tax dispute from current
discussion, as the agitation has been
source of disturbance for many
weeks. The country's business is go
ing ahead in spite of the war excite
ment. The intellectual punch" Of
the American people in solving the
recurring problems Of these strenu-
Gus times is one of the most eXtraor-
binary phenomena that have yet de-
veloped in the game of war. You can
not think of it and realize what is
being done to put the United States
upon a war footing without becoming
q tremendous optimist.'

French Peasants Often
Cited as Examples

The part, while important, which
the savings thus loaned play in the
creation Of new capital, is, none the
less, much overstated and overrated.
We have constantly held up to US the
example of the French peasants,
whose savings (often boarded rather
than saved) hoated French and Rus
sion loans time and again before
the present war. In so doing they
may have come to the rescue or
needy governments, overburdened
with preparations for feared and eX-
Lected conflict, but they certainly did
not furnish any direct impulse to the
economic development of the nation.
The savings invested in Russian
banks may now only serve to keep
the investors walking the floor at
nights. The truth is, as every one
knows, that the great new develop
ment enterprises are financed largely
by funds from the checking accounts
of banks and from the credits thus
created and extended, and not from
their savings deposits. These check
ing accounts are not made with any

The Complaining Millers

Many of these millers who complain
that they are not getting their just
supply of wheat have failed to comply
with the rules and have neglected 10
follow instructions in making reports
and acquisitions. Some have not exc
cuted their agreements with the Food
Administrator; only fifteen hundred
complete agreements have thus far
been fled with the chairman of the
milling division. and not less than
two thousand mills are yet to be heard
from. Only five hundred mills have
replied 20 the questionable. and until
this information is forthcoming it Is
difficult to outline the work of the
organization.
What is the matter with these neg
lectfu millers? Are they unable TO
read plain English, or are they so

Bv Archer Wall Douglas

There is a popular saying nova
DAYS among writers on economies
that new capital can be had only by
the accumulation of savings. Now,
savings are generally understood to
be money deposited in a savings
bank. or possibly paid out on life
insurance premiums, and so on the
whole are as much boarded as though
Tut away in "A stocking. There IS
thus constant endeavOr to impress
the average man that consequently
the only means whereby new capital
con be created is by saving after one
of these fashions. Like many a
textbook theory, this statement Is at
best but a half truth-and conse-
ouently most misleading-as any IN
telligent analysis will demonstrate.
In the broad and real sense, CAPT
tai is whatever enables a man to con-
duct his business or pursue his avo-
cation. The study and experience OF
the professional man, the land, build
ings and equipment of the farmer,
the tools and skill of the mechanic,
and the good will and fortunate loca-
ton of the retail dealer are all capt.
tai. In a financial way, capital Is
money and credit, especially money.
Now. it is matter Of common
knowledge that Of the money de-
posted in savings banks or accumu-
lated by life insurance companies
only a small percentage goes to FUR
nishing capital for new, creative en-
tcrprises. The first requisite OF the
investment of such money is that Of
safety. and the new productive en-
terprises are often those of develop
ment and exploitation and involve a
certain amount of risk. The concern
of those lending such money Is
rather for safe, we'll known securl-
ties of established organizations than
those of new ventures.
