normal value in buying power, the
debtor can liquidate his obligations
today and thereby actually make
money. For if he waits to pay his
debt until the normal dollar comes
back he will pay out twice as much
in terms of commodities and will
have paid interest besides.
There is great opportunity for
Americans today to bring back nor
NAL times and save themselves from
financial disaster. That opportunity
is to avoid speculation, add every
thing possible to the production of
necessities, economic in every rea-
sonable manner, liquidate indebted
ness, invest their surplus in safe Sc
curities such as Treasury Savings
securities or Liberty Bonds which
are today the most attractive invest
ment in the world, and conduct in
dividual and family matters as n
wise merchant conducts his business,
with view to the future rather than
the immediate present.

THE PRICE OF SUGAR

As l write this the price of sugar
is jumping at the rate of two or
three cents pound every day. The
price is 27c and it is predicted that
within go days the price may so to
SOC per pound. OF course the people
who are least able will, as usual,
suffer most for it is a food necessity
and poor man consumes nearly as
much as the man who is rich. Pro-
fiteers will gather in untold millions
from this rise, for which millions
they will render no service in return.
The yelling about profiteers has
had little or no effect and will have
none. The spirit Of greed has per-
meated every class and condition.
Profiteers are no more selfish and
grasping than in the past but the
opportunities are greater. The only
thing that will save the world from
strife and anarchy is the application
of the golden rule to business and
politics, but candor compels me to
say that there is very little indica-
ton at present that the golden rule
has any place in affairs either pub
lie or private.

ECONOMY TO AVERT FINANCIAL
DISASTER

We can't stand prosperity! We
might as well admit it.
Americans, already the greatest
spendthrifts on earth, have all the
symptoms today of burning desire
to increase their undesirable record
for maniacal finance until it will be
forever the mad house motto Of the
world, standing MS the climax of fin-
ancial foolhardiness. Since the close
of the recent war there has been n
grand scramble for speculation aud
spending which cannot be explained
except by the fact that Americans
are noted for their inability to endure
prosperity without the disarrange-
ment of their mental balance.
1t actually seems as if the Amer
lean people will not be entirely hap
py unless they can bring a panic up
on themselves. This is not an asser-
ton that they are going to succeed
in bringing panic, but they viii do
so unless they can be made to under
The state herald., 1920-05-14

Most certainly this item alone should
convince the observer that this is the
time to conserve rather than to
waste.
The craze for speculation has been
the curse of America in the past
twelve months. Stock statesmen in
speculative enterprises have received
enormous fees and their employing
companies have not only absorbed
billions of dollars in cash from peo-
pie who should have invested in pro-
duction of essentials but have also
taken enormous amounts in Liberty
bonds which should have been held
as safe investments by those who
cannot afford to lose but who will
lose in the majority of cases where
bonds are sacrificed for speculation.
There is one fact that every man,
woman and child should keep in mind
at this time; that is that today's dol
lar is not the normal or natural dol
lar in terms of commodities it will
buy. In one sense this is disad-
vantage, yet in another it is bene-
fit. While it is true that the dollar
will not buy as much in necessities
today as it would in normal times it
is worth just as much in paying n
debt as it ever was or ever will be.
An unpaid debt contracted five years
ago in high-value dollars is still only
thousand dollar debt and any man
who can pay such debt in today's
low value dollars and does not do so
is over looking n great opportunity.
With dollars that are only half their

stand that production of necessities
must come before production Of lux
uries. Americans have proven be-
yond doubt that they cannot be
trusted with their own finances, for
the history of speculation III the
United States since the close Of the
war reads like the history of race
of fanatics. Only the strictest econ
omy on the part of men and women.
firms and corporations in the next
twelve months can avert u financial
stringency that will cripple business,
set back family fortunes several
years and rob thousands of young
people of the richest of heritages, a
good education. These children are
in danger of being shaken out of the
cradle of present day prosperity and
roughly cast into the work shops in
order to keep the family from pow
erty. This is not a pretty picture to
paint, but history shows that such
pictures aud such actualities are the
natural results of just such period
as we have been passing through
since the wars close. And this, too,
in spite of the warnings the Govern
ment has been giving the people
through its various channels of pub
licity.
National finance is simple mat
ter of bookkeeping. Even in normal
times it is evident that n nations
assets must be stable. Especially
should they be so in times following
a war when both nation and mdivid-
ual must share the large burden OF
war cost. But in the United States
today we are in situation of de-
crease in production of many neces-
sities and rapid increase in pro-
duction of many non-essentials and
luxuries; and any non-essential in
postwar times most assuredly is q
luxury. The world is shouldering a
war cost of $20O,OOO,O 1000. Our
share of that cost is virtually $780,
O00,, 100000. Yet in the face of this
fact the wheat and potato acreage
in our country this year is less than
last year, while the capital invested
in non essentials has bounded up
ward.
1t is true that not all of our $780,
900, 100000 war cost must be should
cred by the present generation. But
enough must be paid in interest on
the cost each year to make an im-
portant entry on the debit side of
our national ledger. 1t is estimated
that the countries of the world will
pay in interest this year ON the total
war cost MS much as Italy raised on
its entire war loans, or $4,000, ,000.-
900. The United States win pay in
interest this year approximately
three quarters of billion dollars.
