GOVERNMENT ADVERTISING

A cheyenne newspaper recently carried the following an.
nouncement in its news columns:
Your paper has been selected by the United States govern
Inent savings system to print the advertisements of the treasury
department relative to the exchange of War Savings stamps for
Treasury Savings Certificates. These advertisements are q part
OF the plan to enlarge and extend the savings system inaugurated
by the government as a war measure and continued after the war
because 1t was found necessary to foster the saving and thrift
movement throughout the country"
This is fine and dandy and a beIated move in the right direc
ton and there is not a twinge of jealousy on the part of The Re
publican. but
Surely not all of the people of Wyoming. or Of the great ter.

Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University,
hits the fundamental reasons why every man of family should
own his own home, in q recently published article He says: l8II
The home is the foundation of orderly society and of a pros
backbone of the country, They naturally wish good schools for
their children, good roads for their trade and commerce, good
churches, for their worship and good public institutions for the
care of their dependents or less fortunate neighbors.

ARE WE SANE?

Suppose that somebody would suggest that American r.;,
road property. representing some $4,000, 100000 be exemptad
duced rates as a result?
A man making such a proposal would probably be examined
as to his sanity. Chilli
And yet we are today permitting the constant issuance of tax.
eaemnt public bonds when there are already outstanding some
S3OO0O,COO0 900 of this class of securities. the income fron, which
pays no taxation to maintain government. iT@
The theory is that tax exemption for those securities will o.
abe the government to borrow at slightly less interest rates
Inc absolute security Of a government or state bond ALWAYS
enables II to get money at lower lates than private enterprises and
tins argument does not Justify the continued issuance of this class lass
oIi sec,,lf1ties and the doubling up of taxes on the rest of the peonIe
IN order that the holders of such issues may derive an income
which is absolutely exempt from taxation.
