who take advantage of
Vance of bond holders of for
extraction. Many residents who
have come to America from other
countries bought ''3 rs, which cost
them 500. For one reason or an
other, these bond holders see fit to
sell their securities, and in their ig-
norance, they go to q private indi-
vidual, rather than to their bank, or
to the foreman of the factory through
whom they made their purchase. The
bank. or the foreman would tell them
without hesitation that this particu-
lar kind of 800 bond is worth today
about $99.4O or $99.50. Any reliable
institution will gladly furnish furnish
such bond holders with current mark
ct quotations. Unfortunately, how
ever, they Offer their bonds to un-
scrupulous merchants who do not
only pay them q sum far below their
real value, but also compel them to
accept, in part payment, wares which
these ShyIock- merchants have for
sale. In many instances the wares
were purchased by the merchants at
greatly lower prices than they can
now be sold for, so that the bond sell
Ter not only receives less money for
his bond than 1t is worth, but also less
merchandise than he would if the
merchants were honest and straight
forward. In one instance of which
we happen to know, a close-fisted,
bargaining merchant, who displays
an American flag and other external
evidence of his patriotism about
his store, deliberately offered a bond
holder $50 for a bond of the first is
sue, and made him take half of the
payment in goods, whereby the mer-
chant made a large profit in addition
to cheating the customer out of about
$3.50. Compare this swindling pro-
ceess with the genuine patriotism of
another merchant who was APP
preached by q bond holder wishing
to release his security. This second
merchant informed the customer that
he would not take Liberty Bonds in
payment for wares, and advised him
to retain his bond. The ignorant
holder of the bond thought the mer-
chant was looking fer a bargain and
told him that he could nave the bond
"at any old price. Thereupon the
merchant replied that if he were to
take the bond at all, he would insist
that the customer accept the full
market price for it.
Persons guilty of profiteering in
commodities are wicked enough, heav-
en- knows. But when they traffic in
Government securities, and swindle a
customer out of almost ten per cent
of the value of his bond, they are lit
tie less than traitors. Fortunately
this practice has been brought to the
attention Of the State Council of De-
. Tense by indignant, 1OO-per cent. Am
erican merchants, and it is probable
that the methods of these "two-bit'
patriots will he the subject of a thor
ough investigation. If a man who
takes advantage of the war situation
by realizing oxorbitant profits on his
wares deserves to be put in jail then
surely those who would reap harvests
on Liberty Bonds amongst ignorant
foreigntrs deserve to be hanged. 1t is
an outrage that they are permitted to
call themselves Americans They
