The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1918-06-29

One of the war problems which is being discussed in all
belligerent countries is the disposal of the millions of soldiers
who will have to seek a livelihood after peace is restored. The
favOrite panacea is to put them on the land. Canada might do
that, but our government no longer possesses vast tracts suit
able for homesteading. If soldiers are TO enjoy the right to
buy land not now cultivated at fair prices our land laws must
be changed. If two million returned soldiers tried to buy land
in one year the present owners would mark up prices and we
would have a land boom of the most Objectionable character.
No amount of government aid for soldier farmers would avail
because prices would be %prohbitive in the start.
At the close of our Civil war more than two million men
on both sides were thrown on their own resources and only a
small proportion of them became farmers, although at that time
west. Most of them sought employment in cities and towns or
in railroad construction. AS the country was then in a stage of
railroad and industrial expansion, all who wished to work
found employment.
This experience will be repeated as far as circumstances
permit. Many returned soldiers will prefer and seek outdoor
employment, and our agricultural position will be improved in
that way. Farming will be profitable, for Europe will need
livestock, foOdstuffs and raw materials for manufacturing in
vast quantities during the years of reconstruction. But it is
one thing to advise returned soldiers to go back to the land, and
quite another to put them there. Most of them who have work
ed in mills and factories will prefer their old avocations. The
lure of the city will not have lost its attractions. Soldiers on
leave from the front now flock to the cities, and the cities will
seize them again after the fighting is ended.
To provide congenial employment for our returned soldiers
we must maintain our trade and industries in the highest posi-
bic state. of efficiency. We shall have ample shipping facili-
ties and we shall have hundreds of thousands of men trained for
the work of navigating the ships we are now building with
feverish haste. America will again become a great seafaring
nation, and our flag will again be seen in every port if congress
reforms our navigation laws. With ships to carry our wares to
every open market we shall have ample outlets for our mer-
chandise.
If our industries are taxed to death in the meantime we
shall be unable to seize this opportunity to lead in international
commerce. Capital will be needed then, yet some talk of con-
fiscatng capital. Confiscate capital and our returned soldiers
will vanly seek a livelihood. Those who talk about such a sui
cidal policy would destroy our industrial system and put our
soldiers back on the land. We would then be hewers of wood
and drawers of water for the great industrial and commercial
nations from whose ranks we would have withdrawn at the
bidding of faddists-NewY York Commercial.

EQUALITY OF SACRIFICE

The New York Times recently said editorially:
mo man or woman who has acquired a. Liberty bond is
relieved from the duty of buying War Savings stamps. To
leave the stamps plan of lending money to the government to
those of narrow means and to the young people is to be care
less of the cause of America and her allies.
Does the average man or woman who earns a substantial
salary or good wages have any idea of the sacrifices made by
the small investors in War Savings stamps to do their bit in
the war? 1t is often a story of silent heroism. If those in
fairly easy circumstances efnulated the very poor whose souls
are filled with unyielding resolution to do their share to win
the war. what a boom there would be in the governments re-
ceipts from sales of War Savings stamps"
Now is the time for everyone, no matter what his station
in life may be. to make as great a sacrifice for his government
and for humanity as is made by the most humble of our citi-
zens. Everyone on or before June % should pledge himself
to save to the utmost of his ability and to buy War Savings
stamps with his savings. There should be an equality of sac
rifice.

BEST INVESTMENT in THE WORLD

From whatever angle it may be considered, an investment
by an American citizen in Liberty bonds or War Savings
stamps is the best investment in the world.
The money so invested goes to the government, which loans
some of it to our allies; all of it is used in one way or another
to maintain, support, arm, equip and make victorious our
armies and our allies in Europe. Surely no American money
could be put to a better purpose. Here is an investment in the
power and success of our country, an investment in the eff
cheney, strength, safety and success of our fighting men on sea
and land.
We do not know what commercial and industrial condi-
tiols are to be. when the war closes, but we do know that a
Liberty bond and other United States government securities
will be sound and secure. Every dollar loaned the government
by our people now is a dollar saved for the time when peace
comes. With their savings invested in these sound securities
the American people will be well prepared to meet the prOblms|
that peace will bring. 1t is a species of insurance for that day

WOMEN'S CLUB SUPPORTS FRENCH VILLAGE

A whole village in France has been supported since the
first year of the war by the Washington University Women's
club of st. Louis. Miss Julia C. StimsOn of the university is
head nurse of Base Hospital Unit p in France and has been
mentioned by General Haig for distinguished service.
Washington university, which numbers nearly 500 of its
young men in the service, has contributed to war work through
the university ambulance fund a tobacco fund and smieage
books, also by subscribing for a periodical for every Washing
ton university man in France.

WORKMEN HAVE CHANGE TO SAVE

Workmen who do not work steady are subject to prosecu-
ton under the new work or fight" laws. High wages have
not made many of them industrious. They take time off to
spend their money and thus disrupt industrial organizations
Labor is generously treated and should do its part in these try
ing times. If workmen save money to carry them over dull
times they will create work for themselves and their fellows by
spending it when temporarily unemployed and will thus help to
revive Observation-Disclosures.

NURSES AID IN FRANCE

The following statement is authorized by the Red Cross:
at should be understood that the nurses aids, requested
from the Paris Red Gross office and now being sent as promptly
as possible, will not be used in American army hospitals. The in
tention is to use them in civil work with the French population
and the repatriates, and in French hospitals where nurses aids
have been employed since the beginning of the war. And
nurses aids that are to be sent over should be prepared to ac-
cept any assignment that is given them, as conditions change

GERMANY'S WAR ON THE WOUNDED

German airplanes recently bombed a large American hOspi-
tai. lowering at low attitudes, every effort was made to hit
the main building, which was conspicuously marked with the
Red Cross emblem. Doctors and nurses removed our wounded
boys to trenches previously dug for such emergencies. Nation
al War Savings Day gives an opportunity to register in a prac-
teal way your VOW that such things must end.
Remember that National War Savings Day is June %.
Pledge yourself on or before that day to save to the utmost OF
your ability and to buy War Savings Stamps that there may be
more money, labor and materials to back up those who fight
and die for you.

If congess is to tax advertisements in newspapers and
periodicals it should not overlook the billboards and signs which
deface the landscape and disfigure buildings and fences. Post
es and cards on street cars and vehicles and in shop windows
should not be overlooked. These advertising mediums COM
pete. sharply with publications that carry advertisements.
Some of this outdoor advertising is a public nuicance and all
of it must be taxed in proportion to the levies on newspapers
and magazines.

SOUTH SOLID BEHIND

dreds of industrial plants in the
south were closed Friday for five
days under the fuel restriction or
der and thousands of operatives
were idle. No reports Of violations
Of the order has been received to-
night and surface indications were
that both manufacturers and work
ers viewed the situation philo-
sophically.

voted down by an Overwhelming
majority a resolution asking Fue;
Administrator Garfield to rescind
the order and the Atlanta chamber

the five days period but those work
ing on gov eminent orders of heavy
ducking were expected to reopen

affected by the order. Cigar fac
tories in Florida, Virginia and other
states were closed as were tobacco
and cigaret plants in Virginia,
North Carolina and other sections.
The great industrial center at
