mNVISIBLE GREENBACKS"

Many an American may wonder why
the government doesn't finance the war al
most entirely by borrowing from the banks.
All that would be needed is for the Treasury
to make arrangements, through the Federal
Reserve System, for the banks to buy all the
notes and securities the government issued.
The truth is, of course, that this kind
CT financing would be the surest known
road to inflation-and to national fiscal
debacle which would be as ruinous as mill
tary defeat in war. For, as Harry Scher
man recently wrote in a published article,
"The catastrophe German initiation of the
twenties had its beginning in just such gov
eminent borrowihg-f 'FRONT.' banks
The reason for this is that when the
banks buy government bonds, they create
new bank deposits. That, in turn, creates
what Mr. Sherman terms invisible green
backs" The total money supply is rapid
ly increased, precisely as if the printing
presses were turned loose to grind out bills.
And when that happens, the volume of pur-
chasing power runs ever farther ahead OF
the volume of goods available, and disas-
trous initiation becomes inevitable.
The banks are doing big job in this
war. They will continue to do big job in
this war. They will continue to do big job
in a thousand important financial fields.
But, if we are to preserve our economic sys-
tenn and the integrity of our currencys the
great bulk of war costs must be paid 8of by
all the people. They must be paid fof, in
part, by taxes. In addition, they must be
paid for by the heaviest possible II AAdividual
investment in Government Bonds.
That is why the Treasury is attempting
vastly to increase public bond purchasing
and that is why economists of all schools are
supporting the Treasury policy. To quote
Mr.. Scherman once more, Gold arithmetic
leads to the simple sober ultimate truth
that only our personal savings can now save
cur civilization, No one, in short, can do
the paying for us. This is all the peoples
war;

ALL WILL TOE THE MARK

Always Monroe county has led the city
in the percentage of taxes collected, and the
reason has not been far to find: owners of
real estate realized that, if they did not pay
their county taxes, they ran the chance of
losing their property, whereas they could
let their city taxes pile up, year in and year
out-there have been cases where they ran
up to 10 years, without entertaining any
fear of the city, Selling their realty for non
payment of taxes. bT 5r.,r,9
And the type of taxes that, is paid;
more SO than any other tax, is that of the
federal government Everybody steps up
to the line and pays, because he knows that
if he doesn't pay he will be fined and sent
to prison. Sometimes there are evasions
but the percentage of them is exceedingly
small. It's case of pay, pay, pay, and the
reason for that, too, Is not far to find: pun
ishment, in the event you don't pay.
What is true of taxes is true of every
thing else in private as we'll as. public life.
The boy who knows he will be INDUCED by
his parents, who knows he "can get away
with it, does very much as he pleases, while
the boy who knows he will be punished if
he doesn't obey, seldom strays from the
straight and narrow path.
All of which brings us to- the question
of governmental rationing. There has been
a great deal of talk about voluntarily COM
plying with this or that order; the people
were to be put ION their honor" and, were
it discovered that many of them had
strained a point in getting little more
CT this or little more of that, then compu-
sorry rationing would be put into effect.
If the government wants to conserve
foodstuffs, rubber, gasoline, or any other
product, it should resort to compulsory ra-
tioning; further, penalty should be pro-
vided for attractions of rationing rules. The
people know that when the government
says it is going to do anything, it does it,
and there is no velvet-gloving when punish
ment is being inflicted For that reason, if
the government is anxious to stop serious
shortages by conservation, the only sure
procedure is compulsory rationing with
penalties provided for violations of regula-
lions.
The Citizen believes that it will not be
long before that type of action will be taken
by the government, and when that time
comes the interests of everybody will be
put on the same basis, and everybody will
be forced to comply with rules, or run the
risk of being punished. Not many will run
the risk; practically all of us will toe the

Johnny Rigney home town boy made good with the Chicago White Sox in 1o41 by winning 13 last year. Whatever success the sox had last year was due mainly to the clever handling of Manager Jim Dykes and coach Muddy Ruel also to the fact that they had the most effec- tive pitching staff in the major leagues. This staff working as a unit won 106 complete games, 6 most amazing total considering some of the really topnotch clubs that they downed. First on the list is big Thornton Lee, who won p starts and finished more games than any other man in the majors including Bob Teller and Bucky Walters, who were runners Up. This year the staff so fer, remains the satne with Lee, Edgar Smith, Ted Lyons, Johnny HumphrieS and Johnny Rigney car- rying the load. At this time Dykes has only three outfielders in Taft, WIA&4itg b0VSCo ttA4Sl AAyA AA AAVN6 sSAASA that Is barely enough to put 8 team on the field. Dykes ct a winter con- ference tried to land Campbell but did not. Although he is well forti- fled with Joe Kuhel at first, and Luke Appling at short, but lacks regular hitting ct second and third. He has a couple of extra catchers to spare and will probably renew efforts to land another slugger, with George Dickey or Tom Turner as bait. So the Sox will have exper- fenced pitching presumably, and old heads in key positions--in fact sev- en positions-'but will have to resort to last years strategy If talent is not forthcoming. The familiar Sox assault as in 41, consisted of a walk, an error, Q stolen base and a long fly. But because of their pitching staff being what 1t is, l would put the Sox close to the top. And now after careful deliberatioIl I am going to make my forecast on the seasons final results:
