Cheaper to Keep Well

Spring is here. 1t calls for
putting everything in apple pie or
der. Swing into line and heed its
call. Take tip from old Mother
Nature. We do not want Mother
Nature to outdo US in dressing up.
Clean Up and Paint Up
Look around the premises and
see where bit of carpentry work
not only will make things look
better, but will add years to their
wear. You will possibly also
want to make things last a little
longer by doing a little painting
here and there.
Cleanliness, sanitation. beauti.
fication, conservation and safety
are all synonyms. They symbolic
good citizenship. and good citizen
ship is good business. These
things reduce fire insurance rates
and fire losses, increase property
values, remove unsafe buildings,
make cleaner alleys, yards and
homes, develop more attractive and
safer homes and places of business,
and produce community spirit
that permanently assures clean
er, safer, healthier and more at
tractive city. Such a spirit, when
once started, is contagious. 1t
practically refurnishes the entire
town.
As matter of fact, from the
standpoint of economy it is cheap
er to keep things in repair and
looking well than to allow them to
90 to waste. Also, it is cheaper to
keep we'll than to submit to con-
ditions which spell sickness.

ity sanitary problems. 1t can be

Americas War Debt


Although the debt OF the
United States after four years OF
civil war was S2,675,OOO.O 600, or
less than half of one of our five
Liberty Loans, the wages, profits.
and wealth of the country have
grown SO enormously since then
that the larger Indebtedness of the
present moment is easier for the
country to pay than the two bill
lions of 1865.
While i. is true that our war
debt is eleven times greater tnan
our obligations of the Civil War,
il has also been roughly estimated
that our present wealth is eleven
times greater, although the pop
ulat;on is but five fold larger. Ii
our taxes were to be calculated
relatively to the Civil War they
should be over five billions year,
and our Liberty Loans should be
forty billions. instead of about
half that, deducting our loans to
our allies. The gross debt of the
United States at the present time
represents only s percent Of the
national wealth.

The League of Nations

The three principal objections
to the participation of the United
States in the proposed League of
Nations apparently are these:
The Paris nstrtution conflicts
with and supersedes the constitu
ton of the United States.
The Executive Council of nine.
the real business end Of the Lea
que on which the United States
has but one vote, will be able to
order Uncle Sam about at will.
The United States will be forever
entaagled in European, African
and Asiatic feuds and yet will be
obliged with its own hands to
strangle the Monroe Doctrine.
Are these really valid objections? :?
Take look at the good old long
suffering constitution of these
United States and observe what
happened to it in the last two
years-without the League of
Nations. The Espionage and
Sedition Acts--war measures
distinctly violate the spirit and the
letter of the constitution as would
an act to impose tax of ten dol
lars on every red head. Yet they
were passed and enforced because
a majority of US wanted them
passed and enforced. If a ajor-
ity of us, after due deliberation.
want to enter League of Nations
to save us from the necessity of
more espionage and sedition legis-
lation, the constitution surely can
stand the additional strain
1t is true that the United States
has only one vote on the Execn-
tive Council of nine, but it is not
true that the representatives Of
any eight, sixteen or twenty four
nations can order Uncle Sam
about or will try SO to do. The
gent in the striped pants is the
modern combination of Hercules
and Midas. He has in his hand
most of the worlds steel gold,
copper, cotton and food He is
now and will be for generations to
come-until Russia finds her stride
the powerfullest power on earth.
1t can't be done. He just won't
stand for being ordered around.
And if the little fellows on the
Executive Council get nasty.
Uncle Sam can always take his
hat, withdraw from the League
and go home. If any other power
or combination of powers tried to
follow him with club. that power
or combination of powers would
most surely be stabbed in the
back by few of its loving friends
and near neighbors.
Without the United States the
League of Nations has no chance
at all-and the United States is
strong enough to be just as safe
inside the League as outside
