AMERICAS FINANCES.


A great deal has been said and written recent
" about the financial workmanship of the
United States. But in considering the subject
we have been more disposed to think of our great
accumulation of gold, our unequalled trade bal
ance, and our colossal Government financing
than to contemplate the responsibilities which
such leadership impose upon us.
Now, however, when we are facing the biggest
and most important financial problem in our his
Government, and at the same time supplying
the monetary needs of essential private business
we are beginning to understand that world
leadership means the blazing of a new trail.
The situation is unique in annals; we have
no precedents of our own to guide us. 1t is true
that England and France have lighted part of
the way for us, but neither of those countries
will, or can, equal our financial efforts. So it
becomes necessary for US to set up many new
milestones along the road to victory.
The total of expenditures to the close of the
fiscal year. ending June 80, 1918, is estimated in
the annual report of the Secretary of the Treas
ury, at the huge sum of $18,775 919,955. And
the report discloses, that in addition to 1885,,
233,850 from Liberty Bonds; S663, 200, 900 ex-
pected from war savings certificates, and about
$4,000, 100000 from taxes, Congress will be
compelled to devise means for collecting S5,640,-
100000 before July 1.
In addition, during the present year nearly
1900, 900, 900 worth of railroad industrial, pub
lie utility, and municipal securities will mature
in the United States Most of these will have
to be refunded.
And besides these two heavy financial burdens,
capital must be forthcoming for necessary en-
terprises and for the required expansion of es-
tablished industries.
In 1914, it estimated corporate and mu-
nicipal borrowing aggregated approximately ST.
400, 900; in 1915, $4,000. 900, 900, and in 1916,
1900, 100000. The total for 1917 was also very
large, and that for tn epresent year will be COM
mensurate with war-created circumstances.
Fortunately, the United States is better pre-
pared than ever in its history for the tremendous
and constantly increasing financial strain which
the war has put upon this country. Within the
last decade we have acquired flexible currency
facilities strong. centralized banking system,
and more than one-third of the worlds entire
supply of gold coin and bullion-the basis of
world credit.

THE CITY'S PART.

The point stressed in letter from northern
resident to The Journal as to the Investigations
and closing orders in relation to the influenza
are, certainly in part well taken.
No one who is at all critical can fail to be i'm
pressed with the unceanly condition of Pensa-
cola at this time, and certainly there is no ex-
aggeration in the claim that Pensacola is badly
IN need of a good cleaning-up.
All who were in touch with conditions which
obtained during the last influenza epidemic
and whose work carried them into various sec
tons Of the city, were united in declaring that
Pensacola badly in need of sanitation,-not
neN sanitary measures but the enforcement of
these already on the statute books.
Every once IN often great hue and cry is
made. calling on the people to protest themselves
ii this way and that against the inroads of
disease When, I'll know who keep their eyes
open. there is crying need for day in and day out
sanitary work IN this city. The laws that gov
err the sGni alton Of Pensacola good, but
they are cTly laws and most of them are ineffec-
tive because rot enforced. A law imperative is
worse than no law at all. for it not only fails
as Legal measure, but It's nonobservance tends
20 inculcatc il those guilty of breaking it, con-
tempt for ether laws.
There are some sections Of this city which are
2 disgrace. There are streets that are not
cleaned once year and there are premises that
ere not cleaned any oftener.
During the past influenza epidemic men and
women literally laid down their lives for others
going into homes about the city and nearby
districts in an effort to alleviate the suffering
and put end to the disease Who shall say
how much of this sickness might have been pre-
vented or how many lives might have been saved
had Pensacola been in a sanitary condition?
1t is not to be supposed with the prevalence
of the disease all over the country, that Pensa-
cola is unique in the number of cases or condi-
tions which have made these cases possible.
But it is verp probable that conditions which
obtaia here repeated in other cities where
the disease is spreading.
At the outbreak of the war people were warn
ed of the possibility of the very conditions which
have come to pass. Communities were urged
not to be negligent of sanitary measures es-
peclaly where there an increase in popula-
ton, and the government spent much effort and
money IN trying to correct these conditions. But
1t is useless for the government to send men in
to Pensacola, and it is as useless to hope to pre-
vent recurrence of influenza as long as there
is daily neglect of the sanitary measures which
should be enforced at all times.
Recently there instituted a Cleanup
Week in Florida. Pensacola did not participate
In this movement to any extent, and if this city
had taken part, it is very doubtful if it would
have been any great aid in solving the problem
of sanitation. 1t does little good to have an oc-
casional cleanup and then sink back into the old
careless habits. The thing to do is to keep clean
and stay clean.
