Subscriber, Smithville.-The primary
cause of the panic of 1907 was the ex-
cessive use Of bank credits for the
purchase Of stocks, bonds and real
estate. which tied UP funds that were
needed for commercial purposes. a
Widespread belief prevailed among
greater than it actually proved TO be.
When few banks in New York got
into trouble through excessive and I'm
wise loans there was general tighten
ing up among the banks all through
the country. New loans were refused
in many cases. A large drain of cash
from the banks started, and as a matter
OF protection for themselves and their
customers. banks refused to pay out
cash except where II was actually
needed. The alarm spread rapidly. The
usual free exchanges between banks
ceased and for a time business was
badly crippled. Liquidation and read
justments gradually dissipated the
scare and normal conditions returned.
The panic was really due more to fears
OF what might have happened than to
any actual losses. Much OF the severity
OF the panic was relieved by the issue
of clearinghouse certificates, Which
we're In use only for a short time.

WHICH APPEALS
To GET INTEREST
OR PAY TAXES?
THE NATION OWES BILLIONS FOR
WINNING THIS WAR AND
MUST PAY 1T.
1T IS A DEBT OF HONOR
The Victory Liberty Loan, the Last Of
Historic Series, Should Enlist
Your Individual Aid.

This country is thinking harder
about taxes right now than 1t has in
many years. 1t is pretty generally un-
derstood that when the Government
wants money that it has but two i'm
portant ways of getting the needed
funds. 1t can raise the tax rates, or
1t can issue bonds. Of the two meth
DDS it is a great deal easier on the
taxpayers Of the present to issue
bonds. Also when the taxes are about
as high as can be levied it is almost
necessary to float bond issue rather
than to pile taxes upon taxes.
The income taxes are not raising
quarters. For instance it is the gen.
eral belief in the cities that the farm
ers are wonderfully prosperous and
yet but $4,000 filed income tax returns.
And there are more than 5000, 900
farmers in Americai
Others who are not swelling the in
come tax lists to any great extent are
the men In the mechanical trades, an
industry that has been receiving the
highest wages ever paid.
The failure of the income tax
scheme to raise the amounts expected
has forced the Government to look
further for the necessary money. The
extraordinary demands that will be
made on the nations resources for the
reconstruction period have made it
necessary to float a Fifth or Victory
Liberty Loan. The ordinary ways of
money raising will not give the sums
required even should their results
greatly increase.
The failure of money raising by
means of popular loans will mean the
placing of consumption taxes on tea,
coffee, hides, wool and other house
hold necessities. Raising this money
by means Of subscriptions to Liberty
Loan is by far the easier way both
for the Government and for the tax
payer. He lets the country have his
money, he gets the bond and the in
terest that accrues. AS the years pass
the strain Of the war will lessen and
reserve Of funds will be built up to
take care of the Liberty Notes (short
term bonds) as they fall due.
We have all been profting by the
funds raised in the earlier Liberty
Loans. Paid out in wages in war
plants, for foodstuffs from the farms
or for materials used in war industry,
most of the money has remained in
the United States. What is true Of
these loans will be true of the Fifth.
1t will aid every man and every bust
ness in America during the difficult
after the war days.

BUSINESS MAN HAS
NOTHING To FEAR IN
PRESENT CONDITION
Readjustment Period Will Be Passed
When Victory Loan Is
FIoated.

Mr.. Business Man, do not be afraid
when the fifth and final Liberty Loan
campaign begins on April 21 Do your
patriotic duty and your business duty
to yourself. Support the loan with
your money and your work Back
up the boys who have made peace a
reality instead Of possibility.
We are beginning to pass through
the brief period of read1ustment. Do
not let temporary conditions influence
your participation In the Victory Lib
erty Loan. The nation, by April a.,
will have passed the crisis in the
great readjustment necessary to put
the country back on peace basis
Instead of going into the Victory
Liberty Loan as you have done in the
previous loans with the prospect of
higher prices and greater difficulty in
doing business confronting you, you
will be doing your share to pay for the
victory won, with the prospect Of bet
ter business conditions. No one need
fear to make a large initial payment
on bond purchases.
By helping the government take
care of our wounded, bring home our
boys from across the water, maintain
what forces we must keep overseas,
and pay our national war debt, you
help yourself. The Victory Liberty
Notes (short-term notes. probably viii
be the best Of all. They viii bear an
attractive rate of interest and will

HERE IS GLORIOUS
THOUGHT FOR THIS
EASTER MORNING
IN AMERICAN HOMES 1T is NO
LONGER NECESSARY TO READ
CASUALTY LISTS.
WE ARE CALLED TO ARMS
We Must Furnish Our Dollar As a
Measure of Gratitude For
Victory.

"Why seek We the living among the
dead?" was asked of the disciples on
a memorable Easter morn some nine
teen hundred years ago and the sound
of the questioner's voice brought joy
to the hearts of the disciples.
In thousands of American homes to-
day there is no longer need Of seek
ing news of the living in the daily
casualty lists The strain and worry
of uncertainty has been removed from
the hearts of thousands Of American
parents and in its place has welled
a spring of gratitude which must seek
expression.
Gratitude not only for the sons re-
turn in good health and with broad
ened outlook, but for the return Of the
millions of other sons who shared the
glorious work of making the world a
better place in which to live.
Hostilitiss have ceased over there,
but the call to arms is sounding over
here. THE Victory Liberty Loan, the
thanksgiving loan, the loan that is to
pay for the great victory and wipe the
slate clean is to be offered the people
of the United States on April 81.
Uncle Sam needs this money to pay
for the vast military preparations nee
sesssry to defeat the Hun. Our war
preparations were at the high mark

tfacted for, to bring the boys home

gratitude that the war is to be paid
