Evening capital news. (Boise, Idaho) 1901-1927, 1917-05-06

cerned, that u not possible: our gov
eminent bonds ought to be as good a.
the world produces In the
way Of I promise to pay There Is
no risk; the bonds are as good as our
government and they are issued to
maintain the integrity of our govern
ment and to maintain our free insti-
buttons, and when the bonds fail, our
government fails and when 1t fails,
everything else may as well fail. In
every sense OF the word, the bond, the
people and the government are one
and the same thing and there Is no
stronger government on the face of
the earth than ours, hence there Is no
better security than our government.
It's bonds will always be payable at
par and payable in the best money Of
the world. the American dollar.
"Ons billion dollars Of these bonds
ought to be subscribed by the people
in small amounts, and that money
ought to come out Of the stockings Of
the people as the French have been
doing for generations, 1t is the
MASSES after all that make the gov
eminent and 1t is the masses that will
have to furnish this money.
CHILDREN SHOULD SUBSCRIBE.
I'm nearly every home there is some
money cached away for some purpose
or other and that is the money that
ought to go into those bonds. It will
not only make ones savings safe, but
the bond purchased with that money Is
better than the money itself and 1t
will bring interest. That is the way
the two hundred million dollar Span
ish war loan was floated in the war
with Spain and those bonds went to a
premium.
1.-THE people Of Idaho are like the
people of other states. all of them are
able to assist the government finan-
cially and trust there will be an out
pouring Of these small amounts of
money out of the homes of the people
and in that manner bring to the sur
face millions of dollars that are NOW
lying dormant and doing no one any
particular good. The children's saw
ings banks that can buy a s25 bond of
this issue will be doing patriotic act.
Any child who will have one Of these
bonds in place of savings will have
one Of the best pieces Of asset the
world ever afforded and written upon
the face Of It will be the words, The
United States Of America promises to
pay and the coupons attached thereto
can be cut off every six months and
are current in every place in the world
1t will remind the child as he grows
up and from day to day that there has
been a war waged by the democracies
of the world against despotism and
militarism and as years roll by the
child will feel proud that although too
young to enter Into the conflict, he in
directly contributed towards its sue
cess.
II believe It will instill patriotism
and love of country and greater devo-
ton to the Stars and Stripes into the
hearts of every child who may be the
owner of one of those bonds.
Merchants might buy them and
display them in their stores and sell to
the people at par. No one should en-
deavor or be allowed to make one pen
eighty on which no profit should be
treated as emblematic of our sover-
eighty on which no profit should be
expected or made except what is de-
in the bond. l believe the
banks are all going to join In making
this loan a popular one and l have no
doubt the people of Idaho will help to
make it a success.
STATE STANDS READY.
''The state of Idaho has subscribed
100000 for these bonds at par and is
ready to pay for them as soon as de-
livered and upon such conditions as
the secretary of the treasury of the
United States shall impose.
IF the people will subscribe for
small denominations, the floating of
this loan will be a grand success, as it
is the biggest financial transaction
ever undertaken by any nation since
