found our Purchasing
Tickets a great nelp in
doing their Christmas
shopping during the
holiday rush.
The tickets are used
as follows:
Ask for a Purcnas-
ing Ticket the first de-
partment in which you
buy. Then you take
this ticket with you in
doing ali your other
buying. Each sales
person enters your
purchase thereon.
The merchandise is
sent to the assembling
room and when done
shopping you receive
all your purchases in
ONE bundle, and you
PAY FOR ALL at one
time.
1t is a great con-
venience and saves a
lot of valuable time,
which is a big item
these rush days.

INDUSTRIALISM AND ECONOMIC
EQUALITY.

Three or four hundred years ago
the bulk of the population Of the
world was accustomed to live in
greater danger of violence, disease,
and starvation than the population
of Europe now suffers as a result
of the war, we are informed by an
editorial in the Worlds Work. And
at that time, it is pointed out, Eu-
rope was able to support only a
comparatively meagre population in
that squald and disease-ridden pow
erty At that time also the distri-
button of wealth was even more un-
equal than now. There has been a
fairly general upward trend in the
conditions of life of the mass of
the population since then. The
most rapid advance has been during
the last hundred years or during
the period of modern steam and
electrical industry The modern in,
dustrial system, despite all its obvi-
Gus social defects, supports a far
larger population in greater COM
fort and we'll being than has ever
been on earth before.
Modern industrialism, therefore
is not to blame for the inequalities
of fortune. They existed before in
dustrialism came and they still exist
and their cure means gradually
evolving means to cure a much
more fundamental thing than our
modern industrial organization-the
variations in human abilities and OF.
portunities.
But modern industry has to its
credit that it has made possible
sufficient production of the things
we live by 10 enable very largely
increased population to live on a
greatly improved plane.
To greatly improve our present
conditions, therefore, we must worl.
constructively along two lines-thc
first, greater use of machinery or
greater industrialization in order to

GERMAN PAPERS
EXPOSE PLAN FOR

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN GERMANY.-An entirely new
scheme for establishing a reserve

some future opportunity to estab-

exposed

! National Army regimen of the
31st Reichswehr brigade, has sent
| out circulars to all men who have
served in this volunteer unit since
the armistice, urging them to sign
a pledge to answer a call to the
colors in the event of general dis
order or a new revolution. The
Freiheit, the Independent Socialist
organ in Berlin, suggests that the
men responsible for the scheme real
!ly have in mind something more
than suppression of disorders, the
paper then quoting from the circu-
lar as follows:
! "Soon the time will come when
the Fatherland will have need of
every resolute and proven arm"
The circular, according to the
newspapers, says that the corps is
organizing a reserve" from among
the best of its released soldiers, this
reserve to be called into the serv-
ice of the corps in time of need.
Details are then given of the method
! of issuing such a call. The Fret
heit, in recent issue, demanded
to know who had given the corps
the right to establish such a reserve
and to promise regular Reichswehr
or National Army pay to these ere
iservists" whenever called.

SAVING A CURE.

Total sales of War Savings
Stamps throughout the United States
for the first seven months of 1919
amounted to nearly S100,000.000
according to a report made by the
Savings Division of the Treasury
Department. The exact figure is
95,40O, 470.21. This makes a per
capita investment of about 80 cents,
whereas the Government at the be-
ginning of the year asked a per
capita purchase of SO worth of
War Stamps in order to meet war
debts.
THE saving of nearly one hun
dred million dollars in seven months
is concrete proof that the Govern
mems thrift campaign is checking
extravagant expenditures" the re-
port says. "Checklng OF eXtraVagant
buying is the only remedy for high
prices. Saving one hundred million
dollars simply means cutting down
demand by that amount and turning
the money to much-needed produc-
ton of necessities"
Leading economists of the coun-
try have said there is no hope of
lower prices until the people un-
derstand generally that they must
stop buying things that are not
necessary, and they have endorsed
the United States Government War
Savings Stamps campaign as the
most effective remedy to that end.

insure a total production sufficient
to make all comfortable, and second.
continuance of the effort to equal
ize tine distribution, not of wealth,
but the ability to make it. To re-
distribute wealth would only be a
temporary palliation. To equalize
the ability and opportunity to make
+! it without impairing the total nee
essary production is, indeed, the
needed line of progress.
In this country the war has had
something of that effect. We suf-
fered so little damage in the war
that our ability to produce has not
been impaired. An increased world
market has forced on us improved
industrial methods by which we pro-
duce more per capita than formerly.
And while this is going on redis-
tribution in wealth and in oppor-
tunit yhas gone on. The man who
owned a million dollars in 1912
could get about twice as much for
it then as now. In other words, his
wealth has about been cut in half.
On the other hand, the man who
Isells either head or hand work gets
more for his work then then, not
only more in money, but in most
cases more in real value A kind
of redistribution of which the men
ton used to brighten US badly, has
taken place and few people recog-
tnize "the menace" even after it is
all over and they are going on
'cheerfully with their affairs, uncon =.
scious that the worst has happened.
But the relative money reward
! of different services and kinds of
ability is still glaringly uneven and
disproportionate, Seemingly only
by a slow and gradual evolution
can we improve this condition much.
The graduated income tax helps re-
duce the evidence of disproportion-
ate income. but it does not remedy
the evil at the source. AS a palli-
ative it is useful, and useful only
to bring to the minds of the richer
men their greater debt to the coun-
/ try. And in some ways what are
known as excess profit taxes may
be doing the same. In other ways,
however. they are encouraging bust
nesses to make all kinds of prod
! igal expenditures on the theory that
all speculative ventures conducted
out of the profits of the business
are not expensive because if they
were not tried, the Government
would get most of the money any
way. This is an incidental but seri-
Gus result of the logical idea that
the people who make abnormal
profits are better able to pay the
extra taxes than anyone else.
The twin problems of increasing
the production per capita so that
there may be enough for everyone
and making a better distribution so
that everyone may have enough are
still present, as they have been for
hundreds of years. We are better
off now than at any previous time,
but the public conscience also is
far keener and demands more rapid
progress than it used to. The direc-
ton of the progress is greater abili-
ty in industrialism and the greater
participation of the industrial work
ers in the profits of industry.
