BISHOP ASKS CHILDREN
 TO SAVE. AND BUY STAMPS

RI. Rev. John J. Milan. bishop of the Catholic diocese of Hartford. has sent out from the episcopal residence in Hartford tho following appeal to the children of the parochial schools:
 The government of the United States wants every child in the country to be- come thrifty. To be thrifty means to make good use of the things that be- long 10 us through frugaDty, industry and good management. It does not mean 10 be stingy, niggardIy greedy, covetous or selfish. It is opposed to vastefulness, destructiveness and self indulgence. Our talents and opportuni- ties are gifts from God. To make the best use of them is not only pleasing 10 Him but assures us of prosperity good health and a virtuous life.
 As an inducement to habits of say ins, the government has issued thrift stamps and war savings stamps, so that every person who purchases them may have a share in the ownership of our great country. We must never forget that in the United States of America the people are the govern ment. In lending, therefore, to the government they are lending to them selves and investing their money where it will bring the best and surest re- suits.
 The more money we lend to the government, the less taxes we have to pay. If we do not lend, we must pay the expenses of the government out oi our own pockets, either in direct taxes or by paying more for the things we use. If we put our savings into the government, then the American people can not only pay their own government expenses but also lend more money tC other nations, and little by little we shall become the bankers of the world SO that other people will be our debtor. and will have 10 pay us for the use o our money. Every American can thus become 2 capitalist and have the money necessary for the use of himsel1 and others who depend on him fol prosperity and happiness.

 lation. If the. attorney general brings suit to recover taxes. the superior

 Senator Bowers said the suspendine | of taxes was wropg way to help for companies. If the companies would abolish the six cent fares, return tC | the nickel fare and make the zone trips shorter they would do something I that would De more helpful to them. l The bill was rejected.
