A Bond Association

EDITOR THE TIMES:
During the second Liberty loan
drive of 1917 it occurred to us
that there was tremendous
amount of wasted energy and an
enormous unnecessary expense in
volved in these intermittent, bus
mess up-setting, bond drives:
therefore, we suggested to the
president, Secretary McAdoo and
Senator Poindexter that there be
ia NATIONAL LIBERTY BOND
ASSOCIATION organized for the
purposeof financing the war in
so far as voluntary contributions
are concerned.
A part of the proposed plan pro-
|vided for the formation Of Dollar
|a-Day Club for Uncle Sam" This
idea has been worked into the
Thrift Stamp scheme for war con-
,tributions by provision for the for
nation OF community clubs to en-
courage the purchase OF Thrift
Stamps, while, that part OF the
suggested plan for effectuating a
national association that would
Iprovide a cons ant flow OF funds
into the United States treasury
during the entire war period,
thereby eliminating all future bond
drives, is being seriously consid-
cred at Washington, as will be
noted in the following statement
by Senator Poindexter in his let
ter Of the 18th inst. to the writer,
in which he says, in part:
81 have read 1t (our letter. and
your enclosures carefully and with
great deal of interest and
heartily congratulate you on your
patriotic interest in the financing
of the war and on the apparently
entirely practical and valuable
plan which you propose for a Ma
tional Liberty Loan Association.
1T impresses me most favora-
bly, as a means by which a con-
tinuous and steady financial sup
port can be contributed by the
people in the place of the inter
mittent and spasmodic system gen.
orally pursued.
81 am consulting some of the Of
ficials having charge of bond sales
and will be glad to promote any
practicable legislation on the sub
ject."
In the scheme for the forma-
tion of a National Liberty Bond
Association every banking institu-
ton under national supervision
becomes an agent of the govern
ment and is nucleus about each
of which community organiza-
ton of citizens shall form, pledg-
ing themselves to make monthly
payments, stated dues" during
the entire war period, into a fund
for the absorption of future
Liberty bond issues.
II single Liberty bond drive
can bring in ten million bond pur-
'chasers, may not a single like eff
fort build up an association of ten
million members, which associa-
ton would assure Uncle Sam a
daily income of from ten to forty
or fifty millions OF dollars SO long
Jas the war shall continue?
II the bankers of the state OF
Washington would furnish Secre-
tary McAdoo and Senator Poin-
dexter. both of whom favor the
idea, a practical scheme of orga-
IMITATION, they would not only be
performing highly patriotic duty,
but would be participating in the
formation of the greatest Building
and Loan Association that tho

Michael Goldman Dies Suddenly

Michael Goldman, brother of J. J.
Goldman and an active member of the
Goldman Costume Company, died on the
evening of January I'd after short
illness. The funeral service was held
Sunday at the Masonic Temple on 23rd
Street. A large body of Rotarians at
tended. "Mike," as he was familiarly
known, was a constant member of the
club. Scarcely a meeting went by with
out his presence. He was little man
in stature but big in his influence. He
was called the "blues chaser" for no
matter how hard the rocks were, he was
always there with the smile. Rotary
acknowledges the loss of valiant mem
Der. At II meeting Of the club SIN
cere tribute was passed as resolution
and copy of the cncomium was or
dcrcd in public print. The secretary
was requested to present another copy
to the family.
Michael Goldman lived at AS River
side Drive and leaves wife and two
children.

An Important Spoke
Out of the Wheel

One day last week the old man with
the scythc made his daily swing and
cut down one Of the strongest men in
Rotary. 1t was Frank l.. Brown,
President Of the Ransome Concrete
Machinery Co., one Of New York's
large corporations. Mr.. Brown, al
though an active man in a big bus
mess, accepted the responsibility Of
chairman of the speakers committee
of the Rotary Club of New York. To
him is due almost entirely the credit
Of raising the standard Of Rotary to
the very highest level by providing
speakers for both the dinner and lunch
meetings that made Rotary gatherings
Incompatible.
Mr. Brown hailed from California
about a year ago, having transferred
his Rotary membership to New York
from the San Francisco Rotary Club.
He was a director Of the Panama Pa
cific Exposition and he was prominent
ly identified with many big movements
in the West
In one short year in New York he
won for himself place Of prc-eminencc
in the heart of every member Of the
club who knew him, and there were
many of them, for the chairman of the
speakers committee is one of the most
important appointments in Rotary.
The funeral services were held in
Rotarian Frank Campbells Funeral
Church on Friday morning. More than
fifty members of the club went there
to pay an honest debt to a man who
had lived a life of thoughtful consid-
Grafton to every fellow that crossed
his path. The hands that have been
helped by Frank l.. Brown would
move mountain To the downcast
there was always cheer, to the ''brokc''
there was coin, to the worker there
was encouragement and to everybody
there was radiance.
He was in his 56th year, round and
robust. Heart disease was the blow
that struck. The interment will be il
Oakland, California. He leaves wife
and two children and host of friends
in bereavement.

German Strength
Underestirnated
By Americans
Take Another Look - The
Situation Is Serious,
Rotarians are Told

The Rev. w. Warren Giles, of New
Jersey, has few facts, which to
say the least are rather astounding. At
the Rotary Club lunch meeting this
statement was made: "Do you know
that England has already spent $50, ,00O,-
100000 on the war and has nothing
to show for it? France has expended
500, 100000 and has gained nothing
in physical asset, whereas Germany has
put in $50 1000 100000 and has q prop
erty and land gain that would total
more than S40,000,0O0.00O if the war
should stop to-day? For three years
trains loaded with all sorts of valuables
have been pouring into Germany. Every
time district is taken it is thoroughly
stripped of everything that can be put
to use Immediately or in the future.
Even art treasures that are priceless in
sentimental value have been carted Off
to enrich the museums Of "Kultur."
"France -. Lo Belle France and
sturdy England, are down to basis
of absolute efficiency. When the war
started England had three government
munition plants.
To-day there are more than 1000
plants, turning out $1,000 tons of war
munitions every week. England has
mobilzed her nation and we must do
likewise. Three million women are do
ing. mems work in England. The ma
tiol1-1nen, women and children-is
back Of the fighting men.
"Unless we conserve to the greatest
degree and redistribute labor where it
is needed, we shall not be able to feed
our allies and the rest of the world
dependent OH us. We've got to do less
thinking about how we are going to sup
port ourselves In luxury and think more
about how we are going to support the
President and the governmentin general.
"Let me leave you with three i'm
pressions Of men of reality: First there
Is, The Masters of Reality Who Sail;
Second, The Slaves of Reality Who
Drift, and Third, The Dupes of Un-
reality, the Romantic Idealists Who
Neither Sail Nor Drift, but Sink" DIR.
Giles included among this third class,
the Socialists who have nothing and
waht to divide it with every one.
While lunch was being served, son
Of Rotarian August Jansen played two
excellent piano numbers, one of which
was his own composition. William
Morris furnished another splendid di-
vertisement-a singer, wrlo rendered
two selections. Nathan Minor of the
Dictaphone Company brought 40 sing
ing guests with him. Rotarian Gros-
venor played the Accomplishments.
President Brady conducted the
meeting in his usual exemplary style.

Charge Railway Men
Resold Used Tickets

Tho first Indictment to be found in
he Southern District of New York
against railroad employees since the
government assumed control of the
roads was handed down by the grand
Jury yesterday against three conduct
ors and one ticket agent Of the Erie
Railroad They We're charged with
conspiracy to violate the Interstate
commerce law by the fraudulent re-

The men indicted were Austin I.
Robbins, George A. Johnson and
Thomas F. De Graw, conductors, and
William L. Carmichael, ticket agent
at Port Jervis. According to the indict-
ment, the tickets alleged to have been
fraudulently sold were those taken up
by the three conductors from passen-
gers and turned over to Carmichael for
sale at reduced prices. None of the
tickets was cancelled when resold by

That is why no one is satisfied with
results-each one feels sure he could
make them dance faster tempo if he
had hold of the strings.
How easy it is to criticise-llow cx-
tremely difficult to construct. How
simple it is to mimic-how very complex
to originate. How common it is to
knock-how uncommonly rare to boost
The Government is such huge thing,
SO indisputablc and imperative, that it
cannot be compared with individual,
commercial organizations. But it is
only by reducing the scale and by bring
ing the question of executive authority
down to our own daily lives that We
can get the proper angle.
We will grant that you, at the head
of your own business--with possibly
thirty cmployes--arc competent ex-
ecutivc You have your business at
your fingertips. Does your book
keeper never arouse customers wrath,
by forgetting to deduct certain pay
ments from his monthly statement?
Does your stenographer never tie a
knot in clients good humor by send
ing him a letter with the two most inn
portant lines left out? Does your gen
eral manager never get the goat of
your star patron by showing him how
he could improve his business by re-
tiring? Does your Office boy never give
you the fishy eye and bit of sasss Yet
you are the executive, and a good one.
What's the matter? Lack of cooper
alton. If each one in your Office
worked as hard toward making your
business success as you do you'd be
playing golf with John D. But you
can't get them to cooperate the way
they should-so you play pinochle with
your brother-i1l-law instead.
And that's what ails the Government.
They're "aU there"! Splendid, force
full, hardworking, competent, untiring
men, with task on their hands that's
going to keep them quite busy thank
you-for some time to come. They
need cooperation, yours, your neigh
boris, his neighbor's and so on from At
lantic to Pacitic-from Canada to Mex
leo. And until they get it, from every
man, woman and child who lives under
elAC ''adi oo"tiSiCu uOdAlliSl--lAlCIC SOIIlt
to be something wrong with results.
The Knockers Club doesn't hur
them in the least-it doesn't upset tho
equilibrium Of their working day. The
clang of the anvils is deadened by the
whirr Of telephone bells and Office buz
zers. But the Knockers Club does hurt
the reputation Of the American people
1t invests them with a denlorablc habit
and makes them an object of ridiculc tc
other nations.
Fellow advcnturers in this great
undertaking, let us cooperate with ou
Government--th men who are at tn,

members Of the Knockers Club TO
non-payment of dues. The Sheriff vii
take charge of the premiscs--and turf
it over to the Red Cross.-A. ".
