Save and Pay Up

There were not a few persons
who thought after the armistice
was signed the country could 60
back to the old scale of extravag-
ance. With the passing of the war.
it was argued. the necessity for
thrift had passed. Some millions
of people learned an emphatic les
son to the contrary when they filed
their income tax returns.
But there are deeper reasons why
we must continue to practice thrift.
A. G. Miller of the federal reserve
board estimates the credit and cur
vency initiation of the country at
some $6.0OO,000000, by which he
means that our credit and currency
has been increased by that amount
over and above the actual neces-
sites OF our industrial growth To-
fiation is one of the chief reasons
why prices are high. The money
is in circulation, but goods are
scarce. .i..
In the same connection it is es-
timated about $6,000,000000 in
government loans are being carried
in or by the banks. and the govern.
ment will probably have to borrow
at least $70OO0O0.00o more to
meet our expenditures for the re
mainder of the fiscal year.
MIR. Miller declares that these $751;
.OO0,OO0000 in public securities will
have to be taken up by genuine
saving IF our financial and credit
system is to be sterilized of the
,taint of imitation at present upon it.
And if we fail to save prices are
likely to 90 higher with the atten
dant dangers of panics. not to men
ton industrial disorders.
We haven't begun as yet to pay
our war bill We cannot pay it BY
some financial hocus pocus Tit
only way we can discharge the obi
cation is to practice thrift. Pay fo
your. Liberty bonds first and .hei
deposit all the money you can SPAR
in the bank

with financial affairs. should possess
the same knowledge.
Students OF commerce have ex-
pressed the opinion that the income
and the excess profits taxes have al
ready done more to educate the Amer
lean business public in the relation OF
costs to income and in respect to the
uses and valuation of capital than the
combined writing. lecturing and teach
ing which has been>done on these sub
jects in q generation. No responsible
manager OF a business enterprise has
failed during the last two or three
years of heavy taxation to study the
difference between the accrual and the
receipt and payment basis of re-
cording income; to study the relation
of expense classifications TO each
other and to income; to consider the
valuation OF assets of all classes, in
GLIDING, it may be, such intangible
assets as patent rights, copyrights and
good will; to determine the relation
between working capital and the needs
of his business; in short, to ponder
on all the intricacies of costs and
financing that are raised when a silent
partner enters the business, a silent
partner who is to Share substantially
in the net profits Of the business which
arc to be determiNed on the basis of
sound valuations and accepted ac-
counting principles.
Merchants and manufacturers have
had TO study their inventories as they
have never done before; traders on
the stock and the produce exchanges
have carried with them a silent part
ner who shared profits but not losses;
the investor has studied intensively
securities In relation to net income;
the purchaser OF real estate has con-
sidered infinitely rent production and
the advisability of borrowing money
on his purchases as contrasted with
investing the full purchase price In
short, the American citizen has
buckled to the task OF studying in
come and finance, deriving II may be,
profit enough to compensate him
measurably for the heavy financial
burdens which he has cheerfully borne
in order that the war might be sue
cessfully prosecuted.
Is It 10 pc expected that Inc Ameri-
can citizen, business man or profess
sional worker as the case may be will
stop short in his study with what he
can learn from intensive observation
Of his own problems? I think not We
are just at the beginning OF an era in
which all the processes of production
and all the procedures OF trade and
finance. domestic and foreign, are TO
be subjected to the keen scrutiny of a

expense of running the truck and OF
keeping It in repair, however, is an
operating expense which is charge
against gross returns or profits. The
wasting, or depreciation, Of the truck
over the term of its life, say five
years, would also be an expense to be
charged of against income during
the FIVE year period. II this ratio
were adopted one-fffth of the value
of the truck would be charged Off as
an expense during the first year Of
its use and four-fifths Of the value
would remain. These matters are
vital to the determination of the
proper amount of tax.
Another fundamental distinction
made in accounting is between the
determination of income on an ac-
crual basis and on a receipt and
payment basis In determining prof
fits and losses on an accrual basis
all items which are earned are in
cluded, whether or not they are ac-
tually collected in cash; likewise, all
expenses incurred are charged whether
or not they are actually psld In cash.
The correct determination CT profit
and loss requires an understanding
and use OF the accrual basis. The
business man should have this dis
tinction clearly in mind for business as
we'll as for taxation purposes.
These are some OF the accounting
principles which the business man
should learn. They are all es-
sential to the correct determination
% - ~ % ha
localization of losses. Many of them
are essential 10 the determination of
a personal income, even though such
income does not arise in the conduct
OF a regular business. No business
man should work without a first hand
knowledge of these principles.
The business man, who presumably
learned in school the fundamentals OF
English, mas developed his use Of that
subject for the purpose OF writing
business letters and OF selling mer-
chandise. Why should he limit his
use of arithmetical processes, also
learned in school. to the calculation OF
pounds OF butter or yards of cloth?
Accounting is merely the systematic,
arithmeticai recording OF completed
business transactions according to GER
tain understandable principles Ac-
counting should be as much a part OF
the business mans equipment as his
knowledge of the markets in which
he trades and OF the qualities OF the
wares in which he deals. 1t should as
certainly be a part OF the equipment
OF the engineer and of the lawyer; and
there are substantial reasons why the.

tool which promises to be OF service.
First among these tools for business
purposes is accounting science
which, in its larger phases, embraces
organization and work procedures, as
well as the processes and methods that
are essential to recording business
facts for tax and managerial purposes.
