Efficiency and Economy.
I'VE feel very certain that the 1919
sale of Government securities can be
effected with much less expense and
more efficiently under the new ar
rangements" said Governor Wold to-
day. Any lack Of results in the past
has been due to the fact that there
has been no central direction and no
we'll organized, continuous plan for
the sale of these securities. AS we
have planned the organization, which
will be directed after the first of jan
uary by Mr.. Rogers, we are certain
that results will be obtained with
much less effort and without friction
which developed in some localities
during the past year.
"The Treasury Department at Wash.
tngton is working out a complete and
scientific national campaign to in
duce thrift and the investment of saw
ings in Government securities. Our
district organization will have the
benefit of the Governments work and
will adapt and put into operation such
parts Of the plan as meet the condi-
tions in this territory.
I'VE appreciate the enthusiasm and
loyal efforts of the men and women
who have worked untiringly to effect
the sale OF War Savings Stamps dur
ing the past year in the various states
of this district. We know that with
the experience they have had and
with the aid of new direction and ex.
perience they will be able to accom-.
plish very much more during the com
ing months. While there is to be an.
other Liberty Loan drive, it will be
necessary to put more steam behind
the sale Of Government Savings
Stamps than ever before. The Gov
ernment expects to realize $4,000, ,OO0,-
600 from the sale of Savings Stamps
during 1919. This is more than twice
the amount sold during 1918 and indi-
viduals everywhere must realize that
the buying of stamps is a paramount
duty"
Northwest Will Not Fail.
'"rhe people of the Northwest have
never failed to respond to any call in
which their loyalty has been involved
and they will not fail now when asked
to raise their share of the money
needed by their Government to finish
the biggest job ever undertaken by
any people" was the way in which
Chairman Rogers expressed his faith
in the outcome of the 1919 campaign
for the sale Of Government securities.
Continuing Mr.. Rogers said; "If I
did not have entire faith in the loyal
ty Of the people of the Ninth District,
/ would not have accepted the added
responsibility of directing the war
loan organization which is combina-
tion CT the War Savings and Liberty
Loan activities. We have big task
in front of us, but l know we are not
going to quit now and that the men
and women who have worked so earn.
estly and effectively in this district
will continue to keep the wonderful
record of their communities and their
district untarnished.
"In a last analysis, the individuals
must do the work and finish the job
