retirement. at the dates specified
therein. Furthermore. 1t means that
that amount of the German debt to
the allies is now in negotiable shape
and 1t is possible, II the allies choose
to do so, to sell the bonds In the
worlds markets and realize cash
upon them.
All of which should forcibly re-
mind the American people of the
huge debt owed by the allies to the
United States. which now approx
mates ten billion dollars. That debt
is evidenced by the deposit In the
treasury of various promissory notes
signed by ambassadors and ministers
from the debtor countries at Wash
ington. Those notes bear interest at
the rate of five per cent, but COM
paratively little of that interest has
been paid.
Now, what does hat mean to the
American taxpayer? 1t means that
he must contribute about $500 DOC. 900
a year while the treasury discussions
are in progress. and until an agree
ment has been reached with debtor
governments as to the terms OF the
obligations every man, woman and
child in the country is to be taxed IS
a year while the exchange of opinions
is taking place. That is one-eighth
of the entire sum which the secretary
Of the treasury estimates as neces-
a to run the government for the
next year.
OF very pressing interest In the re-
casting Of u AK laws is the need
for realizing on the accounts due n
%collectible from foreign sources be-
fore fixing on the total that must be
taken from the American taxpayers.
It is a delicate undertaking. Of course.
but one which should show definite
results at an early date. All we ask
is the application of the same prin-
ciple that the allies themselves have
applied to their German debt.
This done. the excess profits tax
that is killing all industry, particu-
larly the mining industry in which
Nevada is so vitality interested. could
be removed, and another step forward
be recorded.
There Is no desire to make 1t hard
on the stricken countries of Europe.
but the matter should be placed on a
business basis and handled as a bust
ness man would handle 1t. With ne
gotiable paper in place of promises
the government can raise money and
lower taxes, and further slightly re-
duce cost of living. This in turn
would increase circulation of money
and promote prosperity.

MORE CONSTRUCTIVE


1t may be there is too much pessi-
mism in newspapers and magazines
of today, too much of a tendency to
magnify the condition of war-torn
countries and the woes of those in
foreign lands who. possibly, are I'm
derfed. The aim of many writer's
seems to be to fill columns with
pretty words about our duty to those
abroad. and to criticize the American
people because they are not doing
more along the line OF relief.
Reading daily newspapers which
reach Winnemucca, and believing
everything he reads. the average man
soon would reach the conclusion that
we are a selfish. arrogant nation. in
capable of interpreting the Golden
Rule insofar as it may be applied
among nations. And yet this is d.
rectly opposite u natures. Amer
lea is going to do all in her power to
help her sister nations, and she is
going to send food to the starving
and clothes t o the shivering, just as
she has always done. But America
does not propose to neglect her own
poor in doing ali this. She has to
an extent learned the folly of helping
someone else straighten up a foreign
household when her own is in disor-
der.
What Is more needed in the daily
press of today is clean. helpful. con-
ctr,rcttvo Thought the kind that will
inspire us to better work, instead OF
criticism and overdrawn pictures OF
suffering and remorse, drawn by over
enthusiastic persons who have not
the least knowledge of what they are
talking about-who have learned their
chatter, in other words. from writer's
a. Ignorant as themselves.

SAVING GROWS EASIER
AS HABIT TAKES HOLD
Young People Must BE Brought to
Realization of What Future
Means to Those Who Spend
Wisely.

It is easier to spend money than It
is to save. 1t is also more fun-at
first. But money that is spent does
not work for you. 1t is gone, and Is
working for somebody else.
\ 1t is as hard to make young people
realize the necessity of saving as it
is to make them realize that they are
not always going to be young. 1t is
so easy to be young and reckless.
But habits of thrift have to be
taught. They also have to be formed
by practice. That means that the ris.
ing generate must be taught to cap.
italize its youth, and in childhood
shown how to distribute and allot such
income as it may have.
That indeed, is a large part Of civ.
ilization. The savage lives today. The
civilized man lives today with an eye
upon tomorrow In order that tomor-
row may be as secure as today he
saves some of today's goods for TO-
morrow's use.
The war taught many people how
to save; 1t taught other people how
to spend. The wise spender is the
wise saver, but the emphasis is on
the wise and not on the spending"
Education in thrift Is an education
in good citizenship and in good NOR
ais. The person who is being taught
to save Is also being taught to fore
cast the future aud to make tomorrow
better because Of wise living today.
The government OF the United States
is Offering to men, women and chill
dren the opportunity to invest savings
in safe and profitable securities.

MANY PERSONS HELD
BY HYPNOTIC SPELL
Erroneously Imagine That Value Of
Money Lies Within Itself and Not
In Those Things 1t Will Buy.

Thousands of Americans are under
the hypnotic spell Of money. With
distorted viewpoint they have come to
regard money as a great treasure in
Itself whereas money has its real sig
nificance only in what it buys for US.
A mans reward for his work does not
deperd merely on what he earns. For
the true reward of labor is the SER
vice the worker is able to obtain with
the money he earns.
1t is evident that man may earn
twice as much as he once did in
money and yet be no better off if the
goods he needs cost twice or three
times what they formerly cost. But
it is apparent to all that apart from
increase or decrease in wages as e1-
pressed in money, there is wide diff
ference in the real value earned by
persons receiving the same in actual
cash.
What person gets out Of the world
in return for what he gives it, de-
pends finally on the choice made in
disposing of his income. One man by
wire buying, careful ard consistent
saving and safe and profitable invest
ment in such securities as War Saw
ings Stamps, Treasury Savings Certif1-
Gates and Liberty Bonds, may trans
form the reward of his labor into all
the necessities and comforts Of life
that he requires and even its lu1uries.
Another gaining exactly the same sum
in actual cash, may, through vase,
extravaganza and failure to save, find
himself unable to secure even the ne
cessities.
Whether or not worker earns q
sum which fulflls his estimate Of what
should be his just reward for labor,
the responsibility for the way he
spends what he gets remains with him
and with him alone and cannot be
transferred to any other person.
Prices Of necessities and wages may
ebb and flow like the tide but the fun
damental fact remains unchanged that
apart from the nature and volume OF
his earnings every man can, within
limits, determine the richness Of the
reward Of his labor He can accom-
plish this by the amount Of restraint
and intelligence he exercises in spend
ing what he has to spend and in saw
ing and investing what he has to save.
