The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1922-09-07

When you face the world and try
to do something for the benefit of
mankind, you are confronted with
serious problems. How to solve them,
how to eradicate the evils, and how
to succeed in the work of general
betterment is, of course a great task.
The following problems, if solved,
would bring America peace, happi-
ness, and prosperity. Let US solve
them.
FIRST-Apathy. Americas people
love good humor. Feed them we'll
and permit them to sleep and they
will laugh through any storm and
ride through any disaster. Immedi-
ately after the disasters of life have
apparently passed, however, they set
tie down into a state Of apathy. That
condition is today settling upon US.
During the war, we preached pre-
paration, watchfulness, and the curb
ing of all radical forces. When peace
was announced, we settled back into
the habit Of eating, sleeping, and
laughing. The "red" forces didn't
sleep; the power a%ntagonistic to good
government didn't sleep. Apathy is
the enemy of preparation. America
has never been ready for war, and
unless we cure apathy, we will never
be ready for any battle. Every boy
in America should have at least three
months of military training; every
young man I'M America should take
advantage of the Citizens Training
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1922-09-07

No, not to a great extent. Right now
the federal courts are cluttered up
with 4S0 stock-swindling cases in
volving $1~40,011,000 and S74 persons
arrested or indicted. And that is
only a small fraction of the stock
swindling cases; most Of them never
get into court. Probably there should
be a strengthening of the law here
and there. But the greatest remedy
must come from a universal educa-
tional campaign. More effective ma
tional laws against swindling are
needed, but more effective still will
be an active public opinion, which
can and will abolish stock swindling
and wildcat financing just as effec-
lively as it abolished piracy and pri-
watering.
have spoken chiefly of the fraud
ulent stock schemes. In addition this
class of investors annually lose one
to two billion dollars in wildcat in
vestments, such as oil stocks, straight
out CANDLES, that may be legally hon
est but which rarely have the shadow
of a chance of paying out. The one
half billion dollars of straight loot
and the billion or two billions in
wildcat investments can eventually
be headed off by but one thing-edu-
cation. If pulpit, press, government
and legitimate business will under
take the job, swindling as one of our
profitable industries can be abolished.
But law alone won't do it.

of Kansas Gives
Startling Figures on
Swindle Success
PONZI CASE is CITED
Says Could Pay Soldiers
Bonus With Money Lost
In Fake Stock
By UNITED STATES SENATOR
ARTHUR CAPPER.

Editors Note: Senator Arthur Cap
per, that fire eating but level headed
Kansas editor and leader, talks out
in meeting in the following. There
are few persons in the United States
who have saved money but have
known the insidious approach of the
fake stock salesman and a majority
of them have fallen victim to his
wiles some time or other. Senator
Capper from long and exhaustive
study of the situation is in a position
to explain what happens and what is
to be done about it.
The late P. 7. Barnum of circus
fame is reported to have said, zone
is born every minute" The word
zone" is meant sucker. The saying
has long been a chronic witticism.
1t is the general excuse for and the
explanation of the IL to 2 billion
dollars loot that every year is stolen
from n of our thriftiest, most in
dustrious and desirable classes, the
small investors.
In a time of world stress, when
every dollar is needed to keep legiti-
mate industries going, when all re-
sources are absolutely essential in
restoring a war-torn world and in
feeding starving millions, in such a
time this great American public-the
f%airest, most enlightened public in
the world-permits this continual
robbery and it with a silly
joke. But the joke is no longer on
the sucker-it is on the great Ameri-
car public.
The starving millions in Russia and
Armenia could be taken care of with
the money that Americans give to
swindlers not in gambling, but for
fraudulent securities that will not
possibly return a penny. The SOL
diers' bonus could be taken care of
without a cent of public expenditure,
if the money that swindlers steal
from small investors annually were
put to that use. If the money that
Americans put into fraudulent stocks
and bonds, wildcat and blue sky ven
lures were turned over to the United
States treasury virtually all of our
war taxes could be abolished and the
war debt could be paid off without
burdening the public.
Fortunes Are Lost.
That figure, one-half billion dollars,
is given by the Federal Trade Com
mission as the size'of the annual loot
that "fnanciers" of hte Ponzi type
steal from small investors, every cent
Of it taken by fraud, chiefly through
the sale of fraudulent or worthless
securities.
Thrift and industry are essential to
peace and happiness. Idleness and
gambling promote crime and poverty.
Robbing the Industrious and the
thrifty drags that class down and
adds it to the shifty element made up
Of gamblers and criminals. Not only
does this annual stealing of one-half
billion dollars breed crime, it takes
from the Nations power to produce
more prosperity and more happiness.

SECOND-BrOken family affairs.
Ninety-three per cent of the homes
of America are without family affairs,
and ninety-three per cent of the
homes of the world are without fam
lily affairs. You cannot rear a family
in an un-Godly atmosphere and give
the world virtuous sons and daugh-
tiers. Millions of our people have
passed through the infamous divorce
court because the family altar was
not in the home to check the march
toward domestic destruction.
THIRD--Sabbath dissertation. Men
cannot ignore the law of God which
commands every mar to stand still
and rest on the first day of the week.
The Sabbath dissertation which is on
the increase in this country is large
ly responsible for the confusion, the
chaos, and the anarchy that is RAM
pant in this land. Bring men back
to the observance Of the Holy Sab
bath.
F0URTH-Neglected spiritual du-
ties. 1t is the duty of every man to
be in his church pew every Sunday
morning, to give his child a spiritual
education, to set before his family a
spiritual example and to give som
of his time to the spiritual work of
the church. Men are neglecting their
churches; they are forgetting their
spiritual duties; they are emitting to
pay their obligations to God.
America was intended to be a land
Of Christian people. You can't be
Christian and neglect your spiritual
obligations.
