DECIDES PLAN OF ACTION.


tionments will be used in the forth
coming Victory loan campaign as In
the Fourth Liberty loan drive, Il was
agreed by county chairmen OF the
Liberty Loan committee who met
here Saturday for q conference with
tho state chairman.
A volunteer day will be designated
and efforts will be made to put the
state over the top In q few hours.
The county chairmen have CON-
piled lists OF individuals In their
counties and they will mail lettera TO
every individual containing tgures
showing quotas fixed by q committee
which the recipient IL expected to
pay.
Considerable enthusiasm was do
veloped among the chairmon during
the course OF the meeting aud all
went away confident that the state
would raise its quota.
II was expected that much debat-
ing would result over county appor-
tionments, but early In the day Il was
agreed to leave them In the hands OF
the state committee. Until tho fed.
eral government announces the sum
Of money 70 be raised In ApriI the
apportionmenta cannot be fixed, but
the basis from which the committee
will work will be the same this spring
as last autumn.
To the end that the Victory loan
campaign may be successfully carried
out. the committee on resolutions
submitted the following report,
which was unanimously adopted:
That the quota system with vol
unteer day be adopted In each county.
That the county commissioners
In each county be asked to defray the
expenses Of the Victory loan county
organization.
Whereas. the state and county
councils OF defense have been OF ines
timable value in carrying the other
loans over the top, we therefore re-
spectfully ask for the support OF the
state and county councils OF defense
in this campaign.
Whereas, the state speakers bu-
reau has also rendered very valuable
service In all OF these campaigns, we
go on record as asking for the hearty
and continued cooperation OF that
organization. and we urge each chair
man to list with this bureau all
speakers available for state speaking
service.
Recognizing the valuable support
which the churches of Idaho have
gladly rendered In all patriotic enter
prises we solicit their continued sup
port In this campaign and respectful
~ suggest that Easter Sunday, April
10th. should be observed IN all the
churches Of the state as a day Of
Thanksgiving and gratitude for the
victory which has been won.
We recommend uniform action In
all the banks in the matter OF interest
rates, margin Of deposits, and taking
OF collateral notes for unpaid balanc-
es and we recommend that interest
charges on unpaid balances be SIX
per cent for such time as may be rea-
sonabie in view Of local businers con-
iitions.
We recommend that the services
our soldiers be utilized to the full
every county to stimulate interest
nd further patriotic optimism.
I'VE recognize the invaluable ser
Ice rendered by the newspapers Of
IDAHO; we cannot successfully put
over this enterprise without their
unanimous support. and we ask them
20 now lead us In the same seif-sacrf-
ticing and patriotic manner. that has
characterized all their actions since
the opening OF the war.

dertaking and that it's success win de-
