URGE HOLDING OF BONDS.
Treasury Officials Seeking to Dieour'
age Use in Trade.

Washington, Jan. Limited States
treasury officials are seeking to dis
courage the practice followed by many
merchants throughout the country OF
Offering to a. cert liberty bonds OF the
first and second issues at par. and IN
some cases at a premium, In exchange
for merchandise. TLey hold that such
practice defeats tie primary object OF
the sale CT the bonds, discouraging the
geneyal ,h:'ft movement and increasing
expenditure 8, tnus depriving the gov
crnmeht Of labor and material needed
for war purposes.
while have no doubt that mer-
chants arc actuated by patriotic mo-
tivcs." sold Secretary of the Treasury
the federal reserve banks, Il am sure
that they have failed to consider the
effect which tine acceptance Of their
offers have upon the situation. We are
making the strongest effort to have
these governme nt bonds purchased for
permanent inv ,stment by the people at
large, to be paid for out of the past and
future savings Of those who buy them.
Purchases thus made not only result
in providing funds for the uses of the
government, but they also effect a con-
servation Of labor and material.
when the bonds are exchanged for
merchandise. the primary object Of
their sale is defeated, discouraging
thrift and increasing expenditure. I'm
addition to this, such bonds. when tax
en- in exchange for merchandise, must
in most cases be Immediately sold IN
the open market. This naturally tends
to depress the market price Of the issue
and makes it less easy to sell future
issues at the same rate"
Secretary McAdoo believes that the
merchants of the country. upon more
careful consideration Of the subject.
will discontinue their efforts to sell
merchandise and take Liberty bonds in
payment for It,
1t is understood that many Of the
merchants in Chicago and other prin-
,cipal cities in the central west have
expressed asdesire to follow the gov
ernment's suggestion in the matter, and
there is little doubt that the practice
of such exchange will be discontinued
all over the country.

Pork Barrel BUILDING. Cut Out.

Pork barrel" public buildings are
under the ban for the remainder of the
war. Needless construction Of ornate
pastoffices and similar federal build
ings in small towns land large ones as
well, is to be stopped definitely as a
means OF saving money for military
purposes.
Some buildings, even tho they al
ready have been authorized by con-
gress, are not to be built. The treas
ury department will carry along the
authorization for such expenditures
but will spend none Of the money, UNI
less 1t is absolutely clear that the
buildings are essential.
This Is TIE effect OF drastic order
issued by Secretary Of the Treasury Nc
Adoo gent to the office Of the super
vlsing architect. At the same time
Mr.. McAdoo wrote to two members OF
congress outlining automatically that
the administration is opposed to max
ing pork barrel" expenditures of the
character that have grown almost a
national scandal within the last few
years.
