LEND UNCLE SAM YOUR MONEY

The -eyerybody-rich and
poor, must pay the cost of the war.
The collection of revenue, as now
provided, weighs much more heavily
on the rich than on the poor. Ac-
cumulated property pays its heavy
toll. The war will be paid for by
taxation. The people do not pay the
cost of the war by buying bonds. In
buying bond they simply lend that
Of the United States and take its
bond which certifies that the money
has been lent. On that loan the gov
ernmentx will pay per cent on the
dollar every year. That is very
fair rate OF interest on money, com
sidering the security, which is the
credit Of the United States backed by
its assets and resources.
Purchase Of bond by the govern.
ment represents the same financial
proceeding as the purchase of bond
Of a private corporation to provide
money or capital for the extension of
its plant and trade. Behind such a
bond are the credit and assets of
the corporation. Behind the gov
eminent bond is the credit of the
government of the United States, a
debtor whose business is of long
standing, great extent and Increasing
in steady and reliable way. 1t Is
business in which every citizen is a
partner.
The purchase of a government
bond represents a sound invest
ment. To buy it on time or the in
stallment plan encourages saving. It
educates a man in the ways OF safe
finance. After getting the sound Sc
curity habit the investor will ever
close his eyes and ears to,
