The Dollar Now and Then

The saying has come up from the
dark ages that the way to make money
is TO buy cheap and sell dear.
As the Government of the United
States is pointing out to its citizens,
one way to do this is to buy standard
securities when general prices are
high and hold them for redemption
when prices are lower. w. S. S. pos
tiers urge investors to use the present
dow power" dollar to buy government
securities and to receive in redemption
at a later period thigh power" dollars.
Here is how it works:
Before the wal you earned, say
$500 a day. Now you earn, say $500
for doing the same work. But you
can't buy any more with your five dol
lars than you could with your three
doilars-other prices have gone up in
proportion to the price of your labor.
If, some years after the war is over,
prices and wages decrease somewhat
you may, for example, be earning and
spending $500 per day. Your War
Savings Stamps become due and the
Government gives you back your S83,
or the then value of nearly q days
labor, plus your SIT interest. In
terms Of days labor the Government
is giving back four days more than
it receives from you besides SIT in
terest. This changing value of the
dollar has made many persons richer
and others poorer without their
Knowledge of exactly how it happened.
Now is the chance to join the class
of those who are going to be made
richer, and one safe way to join is by
buying the convenient Government
security-the War Savings Stamps.

The League of Nations

/. Can these new nations protect
themselves?
No. They will be small and poorly
armed.
2. How car they be protected?
By a League of Nations with an in
ternational army and navy.
3. How can that league be formed?
By the joint action of all powers at
the peace conference.
4. Who would govern the league?
The representatives of all the ma
tons which joined.
5. Would Germany be admitted?
Only if she submits to the terms of
President Wilson and our Allies, and
shows a purpose to be a fit partner in
a League of Nations.
g.. How would the league prevent
war?
By forcing all nations to submit
their disputes to an International
Court or Council of Cancellation.
Z. What would happen if any ma
ton refused?
The other nations would use eco
nomic pressure to starve the outlaw
nation.
8. What if economic pressure
failed?
Then all law-abiding nations could,
as during the recent war, unite their
armies and navies to crush the Offend
ing power. :,
9. What has President Wilson said
about a League of Nations?
"What disturbs the life of the
whole world is the concern of the
whole world, and it is our duty to lend
the full force of this nation, moral
and physical, to a League Of Nations,
which shall see to it that nobody dis
turbs the peace of the world without
submitting his case to the opinion OF
mankind.n

In his address to Congress upon the
high cost of living, President Wilson
cav utterance to two truths SO obvi-
Gus and incontestable that they should
long ago have found Judgment in every
f4ind. that they should be the basis of
any discussion of remedies for the
swollen costs of daily existence. Yet
nultitudes of the American people
ignore these foundations yerities or
pass them lightly by. One is that, as
The President put it, "We must
Quicken not sIacken u national
production" That is absolutely the
only effective and permanent cure of
the present disturbance of price levels.
Senator Cronna used the emphasis OF
cyaggeration when he said that the
way out was for everybody to work
fourteen hours 3 day, but beyond all
doubt the resolve of every capable
person TO work ten hours 8 day, If
FnDt. would be the shortest way to the
return Of normal conditions. Men of
great responsibilities, men charged
with the duties OF management, are
working ten hours . day or more
they have to. The prevailing DISPOSE
ton to demand e reduction of work
ing heurs is ia effect . demand that
the costs Of living shall continue to be
unbearably high. The troubles OF
which we now complain are part OF
burdens OF the war. They should be
stopped

Beard tells us that the solution lies

that efficient and continuous produc-

difficulty in restraining hotheads who

that the pyramiding of wages IN an

Tax Still On Ice Cream, Etc.

Replying to numerour inquiries, In
ternal Revenue Collector Iredell, of
this district, wishes to advise that
Congress has passed a bill repeating
the section of the Act requiring the
collection of tax on ice cream, soda
water, ETC., but the bill has not passed
the Senate and has not ben signed by
the President.
The tax must be collected and paid
regularly until the date of the repeal
of this section of the Act becomes eff
fective, when an amendment will be
made by the Department advising the
taxpayers to discontinue the collection
Of this tax.

League Not Wanted

Germany and Austria do not want
the League of Nations Covenant
which protects the new small nations
made out of their territories to be
buffer states between Germany and
Austria and Russia. Without the
League to give moral, industrial and
police support to these small nations
the old German and Austrian indus
trial exploiters may accomplish much
that they failed to do by military con-
quests.
Those who oppose the League OF
Nations are the best friends of Ole
Germany and Austria. The full fruits
of the Allies military will be lost.

Is John B. Dead

Numerous funeral sermons on the
obseauies of John Barleycorn have
been preached in Methodist pulpits.
One Who was well acquainted with
John said: 81 did not know he ever
was a Methodist, and ministers do not
usually preach the sermon over those
not belonging to their church.
eIf | read the law rightly, the
church to which John belongs, has had
a legal dispensation to continue him in
membership, therefore, John is not
dead. "A witness Of the Spirit and a

A GOING CONCERN.

A. G. Hanauer, president of the
Washington Tire & Rubber company.
gave the following information to a
representative of this paper yesterday.
believing that the data submitted
would be of interest to the automobile
owners and tire dealers throughout the
Inland Empire, relating as it does to
the production and sales policies of
the company from now on.
Mr. Hanauer stated with the open
ing of the Washington Tire & Rubber
company's retail sales and service sta
tions in Spokane on the corner OF First
avenue and Adams street, November
1st, the sales department will pursue
an aggressive campaign incidental to
making 1920 an evergreen tire" year
throughout the Inland Empire. BY
March 1st next evergreen tires and
tubes will be for sale by dealer in
every city, town and hamlet, within
two hundred miles radius of Spokane.
Although our estimated 1920 produ-
tion was some months ago placed at
10000 tires and 10000 tubes, we are
now planning to materially increase
this beginning May 1st next to 500
tires and 700 tubes daily, to take care
of the increased business which we
are promised through our distribut-
ors, dealers and subdealers.
From data recently received from
the automobile manufacturing centers
lit is estimated that $4,000, 900 tires will
be required in 1920 to equip new ma
|chines alone This is in addition to the
|enormous production Of 1919. This
docs not take into consideration all
tires needed for replacements on older
automobiles. The four Pacific coast
states will alone use over 2,500,000
tires in 1920 and we propose in a most
aggressive campaign to 60 after our
|share.
Within thirty to sixty days new
equipment in the form of three addi-
|tional vulcanizers and forty tire stands
will enable us to turn out 800 to 10000
Tires per day whenever our permanent
demand reaches that figure.
1t may be interesting to state that
we anticipated the sharp rise in raw
rubber which took place in the past
three weeks and covered ourselves ON
our fins six months requirements at
lprices which show the company over
$4,000 in profit, based on present
market quotations. We did almost as
well on the fabric purchased thus far
flor next years needs"
