Put Your Idle Money To Work

Every American citizen should make an honest
and sincere effort to participate in the purchase of
$9,OOO000,O00 worth of Government securities which
Secretary Morgenhau says is needed to provide the
necessary funds for victory"
Almost $4,000 professional statesmen from the
banking, securities and insurance fields undertaking
to sell the bonds during the month of December to
those who have accumulated balances and idle funds
The bonds will mature in 1963-6S, bear two and one
half per cent interest and, in the opinion of financial
experts represent ideal investments for funds which
are not apt to be needed Immediately.
The special bonds not being sold to CONNER
cia banks but available to Individual investors and
corporations, institutions and others in unlimited
amounts The Treasury seeks to tap the huge volume
of money that is tied up in endowments reserves
and such sources.
1t might be good idea for the custodians of such
funds to reflect upon the fate of their money in the
event that this country is defeated Sober considera
ton of this appalling disaster should be complete
justification for the prompt investment of such funds
in the bonds of the United States.

Payroll Deductions Seen
As Direct Initiation Cure
Seven Keys to Economic Security Won't
Garry War-Cost Load Unless American
Public Takes Voluntary Precautions.
BY BAUKHAGE
Nesos Analyst and Commentator.
wNU Service, ls4s H Street, NV

WNU Service, 1S4S H Street, NV.
Washington, D.. G.
The war may cost Mr.. John @.
Taxpayer an extra seventy-five bill
lion dollars-$75, 900. 900, 900 written
that way it looks more like what it
really isl II it does, it will mean
that this country will go through a
depression that will make the black
'30s look like June day.
That is the warning sounded by
the Office of War Information.
All we have to do to realize this
is to look back to the period of the
last war, when the cost of living
rose 6S per cent between 1914 and
Armistice day, 1918-and kept right
on going up for nearly two years.
Those were the days Of 67-cent but
ter and 92-cents-a-dozen eggs. Then
came the crash. Hundreds Of thou
sands Of farmers lost their lands.
Five million workers lost their jobs.
The cost Of the war was partly to
blame, of course. When other
prices went up, the war-cost in
creased by 1914 billions. On that
basis, it is estimated that If prices
run away now, it will mean a IS
billion dollar rise in the war debt.
This time. Of course, the govern
ment has tried to put on the brakes,
but the brakes are already smok-
ing. The seven keys to economic
security"-the checks on the cost of
living are all right, but they went
hold the load unless the public takes
certain voluntary precautions. If it
doesn't, stricter regulation must
come. Some are bound to come
anyhow.
Let's look at those seven keys and
see If they are really locking the
door against imitation.
The first is tax heavily''-keep
personal and corporate profits at
reasonable rate. Well, you have to
define reasonable. Profits. wages
and salaries are high. The current
tax law, although it is better than
expected by many persons, does not
do the job, according to fiscal ex-
perts in Washington.
The next key" is the price cell
ings.
According to Price Administrator
Henderson, the cost Of price-con-
trolled foods fell seven-tenths Of /
per cent in the two months after

"Extenders" And 'sFilIers"

Every farmer knows what 'flers" are in fertilizer.
They are cheaper material adding bulk to fertilizer
bought, but contributing value to producing the
new crop.
The report comes that SHARP" coffee sales
firms will attempt to augment their coffee sales by
adding filters to their coffee. Housewives should
guard against losing part of their coffee ration, which
they will do if they buy pound of something which is
only part coffee
Avoid brands selling under new names, unless we'll

May, 1912, while uncontrolled foods
went up 7.3 per cent. Now all prices
are Stabilized" but last month in
order toAssure maximum food pro-
duction, the ceiling on farm wages
was raised and bloc in congress
began agitating for rise in the CELL
ing on farm prices. Certain civilian
manufactured goods are caught be-
tween the ceiling and the cost of
raw materials and may burst the
bounds, too.
Wage Standardization
The next brake on imitation is sta
bilization of wages. That was
achieved by the freezing of wages,
but allowances had to be made for
the people not getting living wage.
Then the labor shortage in war in
dustries made it necessary to call
upon women to fill the gap, and
women had to get the same pay for
the same work, which seems fair
enough. That put more money into
pocketbooks-and, of course, put
more people on payrolls.
Another sterilization move was
rationing certain commodities
That, of course, is effective as far as
it goes, but it covers limited field.
Then there were the voluntary
measures-which haven't worked so
well and which provide the real
outlet for the possible boost in all
costs in spite of the artificial checks.
Citizens were urged to buy war
bonds, to save their money instead
of buying things they didn't need, to
pay off their old debts and refrain
from making new ones.
So far voluntary methods have not
been successful. There is limit to
which democratic country can 60
in regulating the lives of the people.
1t was hard enough to get the ma
tionwide gasoline rationing through,
but finally it was accepted. Perhaps
when the public understands" it
will be willing to save instead Of
spend. but financial experts in and
out of the government predict that
compulsory savings is the next key
on the list.
Recently / talked with a hard
headed official. He does not direct
the fiscal policy of the government,
but he is indirectly concerned with
national finance. He picked up a
chart on his desk. This is not

lions. That money has got to be
put away-some Of the deductions
will go to pay taxes, some into
bonds that will be redeemable when
the government decides it is time
to redeem them"
Britdin's Method
He went on to explain that out of
what Great Britain and Canada
spend on the war effort, they finance
lone-haf through taxes. We finance
only one-fourth through taxes. They
borrow the other one-haH-and of
the amount borrowed, two-thirds is
borrowed from the public and one
third from the banks. We borrow
two-thirds of what we do borrow
from the banks and only one-third
from the public.
When you borrow from the pub
lie" this very earnest official con-
tinued, you cut down the amount of
money that is used for spending and
bidding up prices. When you borrow
from bank, you really create new
funds, which is infiationary"
What about the present tax
law?" 1 asked, Isn't that going to
take all we've got?"
THE new tax law is better than
it looked at first" he answered, ''but
it falls far short of touching the
funds the pay-envelope funds
which are the chief cause of infla-
ton. Under the new. law there will
be $1,000, 900 taxpayers. In 1910 there
were $4,000 taxpayers. Of the

Jake propelled four runs across

a SO lead for Wynn, who permitted
only two hits in the last five innings.
Roy Cullenbine's single, Early's

the second inning and a walk to
Ellis Clary, plus singles by Stan

One Of the strongest girls soft

ington is the Capital City club,
scheduled to meet the FBI lassies
as a co-feature to the service base
ball game at Grifith Stadium on
Sunday between Bob Feller's Nor
folk Training Station and Camp
Lee mines.
On first base will be Ethel Fuller
formerly with Shons when that
club won three city titles. Also
outstanding Is the second-base
combination OF Anne De Butts and
Dot Needham. They formerly
played with Arlington Aces, while
another Arlington player. Smoky
Stevens, holds down third base.
The outfield presents a quartet
Of sluggers. Mary Zanelotti, Dot
Keaoy, Anna L. Habercomb and
Evelyn Neam. The girl who prom
ises to do the most hitting Of all,
though, Is Catcher Pokey Hof-
strom, a newcomer to the District
who so far this year Is hitting the
almost unheard Of figure Of 800
She also Is outstanding defensively
with a good throwing arm and
can take a turn on the hill when
necessary. The pitching will be
handled by Pugey Herbert, who
started at third base but displayed
so much ability in mound try
she has been there since.
This team was assembled with
the idea of winning the city cham
pionship and from the way it Is
going in the Recreation Association
League it is conceded a good
chance of doing just that. 1t also
will be the favorite for Sundays
