Loan Must Be Made attractive by High Interes, Rate

Another banker took a different view. He is in favor Of the sugr-s-
tons of the Ways and Means Committee. To float successfully u
$4,000 100000 loan at the present time. he remarked, it must be made
attractive by q high interest rate; but If the government would issue a
bond carrying a sufficiently high interest rate it would play the old
hobb' with savings banks, with highgrade railroad and other such
bonds. The result would be disastrous, he said.
The manager of an oldestabHshed banking concern said he was In
favor of the government issuing short.term notes renewable from time
to time If necessary, instead of a issue of the size Of the Victory Loan.
He said he believed the government could get along by peddlng such
notes from time o time to meet emergencies, and that the proceeds, in
addition to the enormous sums for taxation which will be coming in. as
we'll Is interest on foreign loans and refunds from the railroads and in
duSrial plants for money advanced during the war period, would go a
long way to meet the requirements of the government. 1t seems de-
plorable, he remarked, that Of all civilized governments ours is tho
only n which has not adopted the budget system. If we had such q
system the public could easily find out at any time how the govern
ment stood as regards income and expenditures; but with the present
hitand-miss system he questioned if any one at Washington could tell
just how the finances of the government stand within several billions Of
dollars
y Among M Of those who have taken a prominent part in the past
loan campaigns and who were getting ready to join in the Victory
campaign there seemed to be a discreet reserve. but underneath the
Ways and Means Committee. One of the number said: "lf the Ways
and Means Committee wants its shorttern notess sold, it "A get some
else to sell Them" indicating that he was lot the one

IW0 WAYS TO WASTE

Recently while walking down
q country lane we were impress
ed by two exams.les Of flagrant
waste, waste Of the kiud that is
all too common here 10 the south
and waste that now, as never be
fore should be eliminated.
On onr right lay q field that
last year was 10 cnrn. Tia stalk
had been cut down with hoes,
and three little boys. ranging
from eight to twelve, we're bnsi-
ly picking these up and piline
them. Behind them an older
boy with : torch was burning.
being careful to see that every
little piece was consumed, and
even putting his torch to oecas!o.
nal small patches Of grass. Be
hind the torch bearer came the
father with hia one horse plow,
turning the whitish, sickly soil
that was crying for the hnmus-
making and fertliser-carrying
material that was going mp in
smoke.
On the left and just scross the
road was an instance OF waste Of
no less gr,svous The field was
a rolling 0ns, and an attempt
had ones been made to terrace it
The terrares, however, had been
badly laid Oft, and had been made
narrow ssFasorbacks," in fact
Tall WEEDS had oysrgrown these,
aud in booking across the field II
gave ona the impression that il
had been abandoned. To make
matters worse, the terraces had
been hroken in dozens of places
and the field Was streaked with
deep rcd anllies that with every
rain got deeper.
These two examples OF waste
are far too common so CO nmon,
In fact that we have come to look
upon them as o matter of course.
Familiarity has bred indifference
Yet by burning vegetable matter
and letting our lands wash away
we are wasting wealth on an en-.
ormous scale. Can we afford it'll
Can you and your farm afford it !
