San Francisco Judges to Make
Guilty Choose Between
Fines and Investment

Instead of forcing persons guilty of
minor transgressions of the law to pay
fines, in future Police and Superior
Court Judges of San Francisco, as a
corrective measure tending to charac-
ter building, will give offenders ap-
pearing before them an alternative of
helping themselves by investing in
United States War Savings Stamps.
Il shall be glad" said Judge T. L.
Fitzpatrick, Presiding Judge of the
Police Court, Ito assist in the move
ment in this direction as far as | can,
under the provisions of the charter of
this city and county, upon the thesis
that a thrifty man is a better citizen
and that many of our economic ills
and much of our present day social
unrest are due directly to thriftless-
ness"
The policy agreed to by the San
Francisco judges is a move to pro-
mote a better citizenship among those
persons coming before them upon mis-
demeanor charges. Filming them,
while serving as a corrective meas
ure. lowers the self supporting ability
Of defendants, whereas compelling
them TO purchase interest earning Sc
eurities of the United States Govern
ment, In the judges belief. will give
them a start toward building up a
bank account, and, proportionately, a
feeling of responsible citizenship. The
only condition attached to the alter
native of purchasing securities in
stead of paying the fine will be that
the defendants must hold the securi-
ties until maturity.

Make Il Thrift Christmas
United States Asks
Governors.

Proclamations calling upon the
people to give War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates
as Christmas presents have been
askeC of the governors of all the
states in the Twelfth Federal Re-
serve District and mayors of the
larger cities by Governor John U.
Calkins of the San Francisco Fed
eral Reserve Bank. Not only has
the Governor appealed to state ex-
ecutives and mayors but similar ap-
peals have gone to clergymen
throughout the district. These
measures will be supplemented by a
vigorous campaign in many other
ways to bring about wide purchases
of Government securities as holiday
gifts.
Governor Calkins said:
Economists are agreed that the
present exorbitant level of prices
that constitute not only an eco
nomic but a social menace Is caused
to a great extent by a spending
spree being INDUCED in by the
people. Indulgence in Injuries,
which, of course, causes increases
in the necessities of life, has
raised prices generally to such un-
heard of heights that Christmas
buying this year promises a dan
gerous climax. We therefore, ap-
peal to you to call upon the people
OF your state to forego the CIV
ing of the usual Christmas gifts
this year and instead give Sc
curities of the United state 8
Government, such as Thrift and
War Savings Stamps. Treasury

Bends. There could be nc more
timely effort at sterilization of
prices and production than such
action upon your part and the part
Of the people, a majority of whom,
| am sure, would answer your
call"

GOVERNORS
ASKED TO
AID U. S.
State Executives To Make
Christmas Gift Savings
Appeal.

Governors OF all the states in the
Twelfth Federal Reserve District
have been asked by the Federal
Government to appeal to the citizens
of their respective states to give
United States securities, such as War
Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings
Certificates as Christmas presents this
year. Governor John U. Calkins of
the San Francisco Federal Reserve
Bank has also asked the v of
the larger cities of the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve District to issue similar
proclamations.
In it's War Savings Christmas cam
paign the Government hopes to kill
three birds with one stone:
First: To start the habit of saw
ing among as many individuals as
possible,
Second: BY cutting down the de-
mand for Injuries, under which
Christmas presents may be classed as
a rule. to reduce prices. and,
Third: To raise the Twelfth Dis
trict's War Savings quota for 1919,
subscriptions to which are far behind
the figure set last January.
Not only has the Government ap-
pealed to governors and mayors, but
similar appeals have gone to all
banks in the district and to clergy
men of all denominations. Owing 10
the general unrest, OF which the Gov
eminent feels high prices is one of the
causes, the appeal is being made OF the
thesis that thrift is a mark of sound
American citizenship.
Economists are agreed that the
present exorbitant level of prices
which constitute not only an eco
nomic but a social menace is caused to
a great extent by a spending spree
being INDUCED in by the people,
Governor Calkins wrote. "Indul-
gence In Injuries, which, of course,
causes increases in the necessities OF
life, has raised prices generally to such
unheard of heights hat Christmas
buying this ear promises a danger
Gus climax. We, therefore, appeal to
-ou TO call upon the people Of your
State to forego the giving of
lie usual Christmas gifts this year
and instead give securities of the
United States Government, such as
Thrift and War Savings Stamps,
Treasury Savings Certificates and
Liberty Bonds. There could be no
more timely effort at sterilization OF
prices and production than such ac-
ton upon your part and the part oil

Portland, Ore.-The conference of

"Inasmuch as the United States Gov

CHRISTMAS SALE
OF W. 5. s. Will
TOTAL MILLIONS
Government Appeals to Holi-
day Shoppers to Give Sc
~curities as Presents

Governor John U. Calkins OF the
Federal Reserve Bank. which is the
financial agent of the United States
Government in the Twelfth Federal
Reserve District, has written a letter
to every bank and trust company In
the district calling upon them to use
every means within their power to
induce the people to buy War Savings
stamps and Treasury Savings Certih-
Gates for Christmas presents this year.
1t is the hope of the Governor that
the people of the Twelfth District. in
stead of spending their money for lux
uries to be used as Christmas presents,
will help the Government finance its
war debt of t~wenty-six billions Of dol
lars by sending Val Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates as
gifts to their friends and loved ones.
Demand for War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates. the
latter in denominations of 500 and
$1,000, set in last month. The Federal
Reserve Bank shipped 10000 worth
of Treasury Savings Certificates to
eighteen banks on November 20, this
being the largest days shipment since
the close of the war. The Government
anticipates In the light of the demand
Of these eighteen banks for these Sc
curities to meet the holiday trade, that
the eventeen hundred banks In the
district will purchase more than q
quarter of a million dollars worth Of
the Governments paper. Increased
call for War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates. and
even Thrift Stamps has come In from
all postoffices in the west in order
that postmasters may have on hand
sufficient supplies to meet the public
demanG.
The Governments holiday slogan
Give a Wal Savings Stamp or a
Treasury Savings Certificate for Christ
mas" is elaborated in Governor Calk-
ms letter, which follows:
The Christmas holidays are almost
upon us. Everything points to q
tremendous outlay of money in the
purchase of holiday gifts, the greater
portion of which | think | am safe in
saying will be luxuries. The present
situation demands not that more
money be spent in the purchase of lux
uries, but that we curtail as much az
possible, with the consequent beneficial
| contraction of credit.
Therefore, | appeal to you as a fell
low banker to do everything within
your power to stimulate the purchase
and giving of War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates az Christ
mas presents in place of the usual
needless and expensive gifts. 1t seems
TO me that the responsibility of leading
mems minds along the ways of thrift
and simple living rests to a great ex-
tent upon the bankers of the country
and in asking you to push the sales OF
Treasury securities during the Christ
mas holidays, | am asking you only to
take advantage of an opportunity to
meet this responsibility"
In addition, Christmas posters car
rying an appeal to give War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certih-
Gates for Christmas presents will be
distributed throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District, and all banks
have been asked to include a similar
appeahin their advertising.
