Decentralization OF foreign exchange
as noted in money market reports
means nothing 10 the average citizen
until it is realized that Europe is about
to he forced out Of the market for
American goods, because Of its .nabh-
ity TO pay for any more. We have been
reading of balances OF trade in favor
Of the United States and the average
man has little realized what they mean
to him. The fact that people in for
eign countries have been buying Of us
three and four billions OF dollars worth
Of goods per annum more than they
have been selling to Us has suggested
TO the average person that the present
high cost Of everything has largely
been caused BY such abnormal foreign
demand.
Now that the people Of Europe are
unable TO find money or credits with
which 70 buy any more stuff as re-
Elected in the bidding up Of the prices
Of I. 5. currency in terms Of other
currency the average citizen should
know that the people OF Europe are
goingsto Re forced TO become self sup
porting, Henceforth all they can buy
OF US is that for which they can ex-
change q Ike amount in their own
goods or that for which they can Dor
row a like amount in this country by
the sale Of their city bonds or foreign
trade corporation loans.
When Europe IS forced 70 send TO Us
as many goods as We send abroad the
effect will be the same as tho TIE for
eirn demand for our goods had been
out off by three 70 four billions per year.
Without such abnormal demand abroad
prices at home are going 10 come
down. This year VIII see the peak Of
high prices resultant from the world
war. In another year prices viii come
down because Europe viii either -
unable TO take our goods or If able
must replace them with other goods
OF like amount. Employment in this
country will slac!sen. wages will be de-
pressed. reaction from wars initiation
will have set in and those who prac-
tice thrift now will have provided a
storehouse for the winter that IS 20
come. No business boom ever lasted
forever and none ever will.

BIG AND llTrtE TIE SAME CONCLUSION.

New York and the east has been
very much shocked and excited over
revelations Of crooked gambling among
those who are popularity supposed %
be above the arts Of the tin horn and
the confidence man. II appears that
names socially and financially Of high
rating have been brought into in
famous connection with marked cards
and shakedowns much to the scandal
Of the effete east.
Still that's What usually comes OF
gambling for high stakes. High stakes
mean one thing among miI,ionatres
and another to men Of small incomes.
The incentive however IS the same
whether the game calls for 500 for
white chips or cents, and the temp
tat!on is the same. Usually some
body or several somebod!es seeL:
advantage in underhand ways.
It's the same everywhere When the
scandal breaks. Over in New York It
takes a millionaire TO attract special
attention and set the town talking.
Down st Podunk a penny ante game
and the discovery Of a lhold outl hay-
ness cuts the mustard similarly.
It's always been 50. Back in
Babylon no doubt when the enemy was

IOWA AND IT'S DEBT TO SOLDIERS

Wv y AMI l i = LED 4 ~
LCedar Rapids Republican,
The mothers of Iowa soldiers in the
I1ate war passed a resolution that was
probably not based on arithmetic.
They thought that every soldier ought
10 receive from the state $50 for every
month that he was in the service,
whether at home or in France and the
soldiers themselves have decided that
no geographical distinctions snail be
drawn. over one hundred thousand
men from Iowa were in the service.
Many OF them served more than two
full years. some two and a half years
What the average length was We do
not know. But if IL were twenty
months. which is likely to be too long,
it would mean 81, coo for each man and
for the hundred thousand, that would
total 500. coo. c00--or have we figured II
wrong? Il seems impossible That IL
should be so much, but figures soon
mount.
That would be some money to pro-
cure out Of taxes, There was some
loud complaining about million dol
lars state Improvements few years
ago. Bat q hundred millions would
become staggering. That the services ,
of the men were worth that much
none of rs can doubt. Even hun
drcd million dollars is small price
to pay for what those men might
have been called upon to do. If every
family in Iowa should give $3.50 the
amount would be made up and there
are few families which would say thar
II U-as too much to pay. But the men
who were in the service are not ask
i7y the state 20 go mo such sta
EanloIs debt for them. They would
he the last ones to ask for il.
Nor is whatever debt is owed those
men the state. the proper one 10 pay
H. The national government called
out those men and it is the national
government that should pay the re-
naming debts ard it should repay the
states for what they expended IN the

To Check With Enumerators.
Before the census taking Is COM
pleted Mr.. Kemler expects to call Il
conference OF the ten enumerators In
tho city and check over with them the
names OF all who We're known to be
out of the city when the canvass was
made. In this way 1t Is hoped that
none will be missed.
The following is a list of the city
assigned to:
First ward-Rev S. n. Ramige, 7

Second ward--Morgan L. OConnell,

Enumerators or Club Secretary.

Have you been counted for the
census! Do you know whether your
neighbour who may he absent In Cali
fornia or Florida for the winter has
been included? Are you doing all that
you can to see that you and your
family are not missed, or that some
one else who ought to be included is
counted? These are questions that
every public spirited citizen should
be asking himself. Each should act
on them.
The Marshalltown Club, calling to
It's aid the public schools, Is making
an effort to see that the enumerators
do not miss any one that should be
included. Many permanent residents
are out of the city. The federal GEN.
sus that is now being taken will stand
as the official count of population of
this city and county for ten years. 1t
Is out of town. This will furnish a
one be missed.
Club Getting Absentees.
Secretary Kemler. of tho Narshall-
town Club, is compiling a Hist of alb
sentees to check against the enum-
orators lists Any person who knows
Of a relative or neighbor who is alb
sent from the city now should re-
port the name and address of such
person either to one of the. census
enumerators for that ward or to the
Marshalltown Club. s
At the request Of the Marshalltown
Club, Superintendent Aaron Palmer is
going to have the teachers Of the
schools make list of families having
children in each room who are known
to be out of school because the family
Is out Of town. They will furnish a
means Of checking absentees, and in
addition the schools will supply list
OF teachers who are residents Of the
city.
State Census Recalled.
The taking Of the federal census at
this tima recalls the failure that was
made of the state census in this city
in 1915 when the city tax assessors
were supposed to count the popula-
ton. The result was so obviously in
correct that the Marshalltown Club
appointed volunteer enumerators, who
canvassed the city. The official count,
however, was made by a set of enum-
orators County Auditor A. w. Dobson
appointed. These enumerators went
over the city again and found 2.723
more people than the assessors had
counted.
This instance shows the danger Of
an incomplete count, altho 1t is recos-
nized that the federal enumerators,
who are paid cents for each person
enumerated are likely to be more &C
