FINANCE IN TIMES OF PEACE
Problems that are Vexing Statesmen of all Nations May be Solved When Thrift Habit is Thoroughly
 Inculcated

The end of the war finds the United States a creditor nation to most of the nations of the world, and economists deeply concerned as to insuring the funding of these debts so as to give us the prosperity to which the condition entities us. It is agreed that the nations which owe us must be highly prosperous in order for us to be prosperous.
 This was exemplified during the war by our commercial rela- tions wilh Spain, where one dol lar was worth only about fifty cents. because shipping. condi- tions prevented adjustment of trade balances.
 Sentiment figured largely in proposals advanced for our par ticipation in the rehabilitation of France. Suggestions have even been made that we cancel Frances entire debt to us. One of the later proposals is that we divert all the interest payments on our Allies debts to us to a Rehabilitation fund.-.
 Why should not the average man" create a financial rehabili- tation fund for himself? The man of ordinary income will sbe amazed at the improvement he can make in his condition by systematic disposition of his salary or wage.
 A few dollars saved first out of every pay envelope will soon samass a fund which may, through making it possible to seize upon the opportunity that awaits every man. revolutionize lifetime.
 The first requisite is to save regularly, the second to invest securely at good interest. The Government has undertaken to under write your efforts by offer. ing you War Savings Stamps for investment. They are safe. and are always redeemable at more than the cost. You receive four percent compounded quarterly if you keep them until maturity, three percent if emergency de- mands that you cash them be- fore maturity.

To All Public Spirited Citizens of Ar

We are advised by MT. J. c. Small. Com missioner of Immi- grafton, State of Arkansas. Lit tie Rock, that the State of Ar. kansas has recently officially created this position and that he has been appointed, effective July 3rd, as Commissioner and that his first official act will be the preparation of a booklet ad- vertising the opportunities of Arkansas, which booklet will take up the entire State by coun- ties, giving land prices, crops, opportunities. etc. by counties, so as to enable the homeseeker to get a better idea of the State and which particular county or counties to visit rather than hay ing to travel oyer the whole State. Mr. Small says that the first edition will comprise one hundred thousand copies and that it will be distributed widely throughout the entire United States and will dou ubtless create great interest and bring many new settlers to that State. MT. Small advises me that he is very anxious to secure detailed infOr- nation from every county in Ar kansas which information should cover:
 Prices and terms on land, both improved and unimproved.
 Crops best adapted to that particular section.
 General description of physi. cal conditions of the county. as to whether prairie, cut-over, im proved, unimproved, timber, billy, rolling, mountainous, swampy. well drained, etc.
 Short articles covering the ex- perience of successful farmers and how they have made their. success.

Frank Clark's Good Work

Extravaganza characterizes ev-
cry war, and for the simple rea-
son that, not knowing just when
the war will end, we never know
just how to limit expenses. We
have probably spent many mil
lions during the world war that
need not have been spent at all,
And what is more, millions have
probably been stolen.
When the Democrats were in
power, Mr.. Clark was chairman
Of the house committee on public
buildings and grounds, and his
committee of course acted on gov
ernment recommendations. We
are glad to see that he is now
pushing Investigations. Our press
dispatches tell us of his activities.
A dispatch said:
Chairman Langley, of the
house public buildings committee,
and Representative Clark of Flor
ida, and Elliott, of Indiana, urged
the house rules committee today
to make an order or special bust
ness on Representative Clark S
resolution of the United States
housing corporation. We ought to
put an end to this enormous outfit
which is doing nothing for the
government declared Mr.. Clark.
"He and other members Of the
committee said they had reports
that three million dollars had
been spent at Bethlehem, Pa,
without single house to show
for it. -
You can depend on Frank
Clark getting at the bottom facts.

Doubling the States Taxes

Well, we've heard the worst
from Tallahassee. 1t is that the
state tax millage will be twelve
mills. About what was expected,
with appropriations running riot.
The 1917 millage was six and a
half mills. In two years the state
practically doubles it's expense
bill.
There is one silver lining to the
cloud, and it lies in the fact that
out of this enormous impost OF
taxation Will come trunk line
hard roads. Two or three-eights
mills of the total of twelve mills
is to be devoted to road building
two mills to meet the Federal
appropriation of $3,000,OM for.
Florida and three-eights of mill.
to pay for the upkeep of the.
state s prisoners who will work on,
these roads instead Of being under.
