PAY YOUR FINE

POLICE JUDGES
San Francisco Courts Will Try
Character-Building Meas
ures in Minor Cases

Upon the thesis that a thrifty man
is better citizen and that many
of our economic Ills and much of our
present day social unrest are due di-
reetly to thriftlessness," Police and
Superior Judges of San Francisco are
planning to give persons convicted or
minor infractions of the law an alter
native of investment in Government
securities, such as War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certifi-
Gates instead of fining them. Judge
T. l. Fitzpatrick, Presiding Judge OF
the Police Court here, said, Il shall be
glad to assist in the movement in this
direction, keeping in mind. however,
at all times, the provisions of the
charter of the city and county"
The alternative of investment in
Government securities will be offered
whenever 1t Is within the power OF
the Judge to fine or set free the de-
PENDANT In a misdemeanor case. This
attempt" said another judge, will
give such defendants chance to help
themselves and their Government and
cultivate habit OF saving, lack of
which we feel is often at the bottom
of their transgressions.
Family rows which find their way
into court and have many times as
their fundamental cause lack of thrift
or spendthrift habits, are expected to
furnish a rich field for the expert
ment in penalization to be tried by
the San Francisco judges. AS a rule,
the judge has in such cases the right
to fine or release defendants with a
severe lecture, and hereafter it is
probable that family rows in San
Francisco will really be beginnings of
many bank accounts.
The judges will attach only one
condition in levying a penalty of in
vestment rather than fining a defend
ant, and that condition is that the
guilty accepting the alternative must
keep their securities until the date of
maturity. In this way the jurists
hope to lead the thriftless into the
ways of thrift. sound living and bet
ter citizenship.

SPECIAL LABOR
CONFERENCE WILL
CONSIDER THRIFT
Oregon State Federation Petit
tions Union Leaders to
Adopt Savings Policy.

Portland Ore.-The Oregon State
Federation of Labor has asked the con-
ference of the heads of international
labor unions affiliated with the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, which opens
its session in Washington, D. c., De-
cember 10, to include in any program
that they may promulgate as result
of the failure of the industrial con-
ference a plank memorializing the
Federal Government to continue and
elaborate. if necessary, its Thrift and
War Savings Stamps movement as a
permanent national policy. The Ore
gon Federation also has asked all other
State Federations of Labor in the
United States to make a similar re-
quest of the conference. President o.
r. Hartwig of the Oregon Federation
signed the letter, which follows.
"Inasmuch as the United States Gov
eminent is engaged in advancing the
War Savings Stamps campaign in
vigorous manner, and inasmuch as the
War Savings Stamps are the best pos
sible forms of investment for working
men anu WOUleu, particularly Oi5uh'
lied workers, and also because the pos
session of War Savings Stamps by
workers while defending their rights
either while out on strike or otherwise,
gives them a degree of security that
ordinarily they do not possess, there
fore, the State Federation of Labor OF
Oregon makes the following sugges-
ton: That your Federation join with us
in urging upon the national con-
ference that has been called in Wash
ington, D. c., by the American Fedora
ton of Labor, the adyisability of in
Guiding in any program that they may
promulgate, a War Savings Stamps
plank or provision.
I'VE feel that this will materially
strengthen the position of organized
labor and will also give us the sinews
of war when most needed. Trusting,
therefore. that you will find it possible
to join us in urging upon the national
conference this provision, and thank
ing you in advance for concurring In
| this suggestion, we beg to remain.

T 1R CHRISTMAS
s j. S. APPEAL
{ vernon Calkins Urges Gov
eminent Securities for Pres
ents Instead Of Luxuries

Governor John U. Calkins OF the
San Francisco Federal Reserve Bank
has written a letter to all banks and
trust companies in the Twelfth Fed
eral Reserve District urging them to
promote, wherever possible, the sale
of War Savings Stamps and Treasury
Savings Certificates for Christmas
presents this year.
The increased demand for these
Government securities, the Treasury
Savings Certificates being similar to
War Savings Stamps in denominations
of 500 and $1,000, is apparent from
the fact that the Federal Reserve
Bank supplied 10000 worth of
Treasury Savings Certificates to eigh-
teen banks in the district on Novem-
Der 20, which is the largest amount
sold in one day since the close of the
war On the face of the demand of
these eighteen banks and the in
creased call for the securities from
all postoffices throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District, it would
seem that the Governments holiday
slogan, Give a War Savings Stamp
or Treasury Savings Certificate for
Christmas" is being followed out,
and the Government is hoping that by
giving War Savings Stamps and
Treasury Savings Certificates for
Christmas gifts the district will close
ly approximate It's War Savings quota
for the year.
A portion.of Governor Calkins' let
ter follows:
THE Christmas holidays are al
most upon us. Everything points to
a 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
Injuries, but that we curtail as much
as possible, with the consequent bene-
fetal contraction of credit
Therefore, appeal to you as a
fellow banker to do everything within
your power to stimulate the purchase
and giving of War Savings Stamps
and Treasury Savings Certificates as
Christmas presents in place of the u.s.
ual 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 extent upon the bankers of the
country and in asking you to push
the sales of Treasury securities during
the Christmas holidays, l am asking
you only to take advantage of an OPP
portunity to meet this responsibility"
In addition, Christmas posters car
rying an appeal to give War Savings
Stamps and Treasury Savings Certif1-
Gates for Christmas presents will be
distributed throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District, and all
banks have been asked to include a
similar appeal in their advertising.

THRIFT
By DR.. Frank Crane.

Thrift is simply the application of
intelligence to expenditure.
1t does not mean only saving. II
does not connote skimping and penny
pinching, niggardlness and miserli-
ness That is often the most foolish
kind Of waste. waste of health, of spif-
its and of the JOY of life,
Thrift means intelligent spending.
To spend a dollar now may save two

Thrift implies a budget. If YOU have
no wise plan, ii makes little difference
how much you make What is the use
of forging ahead when you don't know
your destination?
Some busy money-makers might sing,

One of the reasons the striking

collectively they own more than ST.
100000 worth of Liberty Bonds and
about 100000 in War Savings

of the San Francisco Iron Trades
Council when we win our demand
l am going to re Commend that the
crease and invest it weekly with the
Government in War Savings Stamps.
They provide an ideal way for the
workingman to save.
@. A. Farnsworth, associate direc-
tor of the War Loan Organization for
the Twelfth Feder,1 Reserve District,
said: Secretary Miller's figures on
the Liberty Bond holdings and their
investment in War Savings are con-
servative and there is no doubt that
they have aided greatly in enabling
the men to support themselves while
on strike. The men can borrow the
face value of their Liberty Bonds
without sacrificing the bonds and
they can cash in their War Savings
Stamps.
