Lend To The Loar,
By RUPERT HUGHES

\ $500 in cash to buy clothes fol
our half-naked soldiers.
Later, when the thirteen states
decided to become a Republic un-
der a Constitution, the new gov
ernment assumed all the old debts
both domestic and foreign. This
gave us our first good credit.
Before the War of 1872 finally
broke, 1t had been long foreseen
and our great Treasurer, Gallatin,
tried to provide for 1t in advance.
But the public made a poor re-
sponse and the bad showing on the
home front was disgracefully re-
peated in our military showing.
When the Mexican. War loomed,
an effort was made to borrow $50
million dollars at 7.3 per cent. This
had to be followed by imposing an
income tax of 3 per cent on all
earnings over $500 a year. Income
taxes had been used in colonial
times 300 years ago; but it took a
constitutional amendment to put
them in practice with us.
Our Civil War brought on a most
uncivil war in our finances and
sent the national debt over the
two billion mark.
Rupert Hughes
The dismal spectacle of seeing
the government panhandling and
begging for war funds was turned
at last into the patriotic festival it
ought to be.
The Liberty Bond drives of
World War l, not only brought in
billions for the government, but
served as a savings bank for the
people.
And so it has been with the War
Loans of this war. They have en-
abled us to keep our allies alive |
and our armed forces busy all
around the globe while building up
bank deposits for the people.
We should not begrudge the bill
lions we have laid out in lend-lease
an din loans of every sort to for
eign countries; for our own Revo-
lutionary War would have failed
if we had not been able to borrow
heavily on frail security from
France and Holland. without their
generous aid we might still be
colony of England, as now We
might have become a colony of
Germany had it not been for the
vast treasure and the countless
lives laid down by our. allies.
1t is hard to imagine ourselves
and enslaved; yet we
have seen other proud nations
trampled under. We have been
saved by our stored-up wealth. 1t

ALMOST FIVE CENTURIES
ago, Gutenburg's invention of NOV
able type started a revolution. 1t
has. been going on ever since. For
five centuries and cons before a
few men were the privileged rul-
ers-- by accident of birth or of cir
cumstance. The people were sub
jects, supporting those thus kept
in authority. However, movable
type, by cutting the cost of print
ing, began the process of making
knowledge more widely available.
Peoples understanding then grew.
Sparks of hope were awakened in
the minds of men. When it became
apparent to entrenched authority
that permitting wide dissemination
of information and ideas might in
time destroy their sinecures, CEN
sorship was exercised.
In a search for greater free
dom, men of many races and
creeds crossed the ocean to estab-
lish homes on this continent, They
and their children founded here a
nation dedicated to a new prin-
ciple; government by the people,
and for the people. And knowing
that liberty could be overthrown
only by subduing freedom of
speech and the press, they provid-
ed further that this basic freedom
should never be abridged. That
sustem of government created an
opportunity for all men to ad-
vance, limited only by their efforts.
In but a few generations it won
for this people a higher standard
of living and of human welfare
than had ever before been dream
ed possible.
Americas freedom of the press
has proved to the world that the
patriotic instinct of an informed
plain people can be relied on to
govern wisely and well. 1t is well |
that Americans should cherish and |
carefully guard this God given |
privilege during these stormy
times when bureauracy, with. it's
intrenched power, threatens the
American way of life.

Milford, Friday, June 90, 1914

UNDER THE STIMULUS of the in
vaslon news the Fifth War Loan
drive is off to a good start. A con-
tinuation of the early rate of pur-
chases will be necessary, however,
to attain the record goal set for
the drive. Heavy purchase of war
bonds, especially by individuals
with moderate means, is a vital
part of our anti-inflation program.
II is in that segment of our econo-
my that we find most of the excess
purchasing power. However, buy
ing bonds is only half the task;
holding them until after the war is
equally important. The sharp in
crease in bond redemptions in re-
cent months indicates that an in
creasing number of our citizens
are not doing the full job.
In May, redemptions of Series Z
bonds reached a new peak in ex-
cess of $27O,OOO,OOO. This total was
equal to SO per cent of the
$713,OOO,OOO of Series E bonds sold
in that month. Too many people
are lending their money to the
Government on a temporary basis.
But the reason for buying bonds
in the first place-to finance the
cost of the war and to reduce the
pressure of inflation-are the same
reasons why they should be held.
Whenever a bond is redeemed an
other one must be sold to take its
place. Large-scale redemptions
complicate the problem of financ-
ing the war.
1t is vital that we dig into our
pockets deeply and buy bonds to
the utmost of our ability. This is
a small contribution we are called
upon to make compared with the
huge sacrifices-in many cases the
supreme sacrifice = our gallant
fighters are making. But even the
small contribution made by this
act of self-interest-it cannot be
called a sacrifice, since we are
paid 81 for every SO we invests
cancelled when these bonds are re-
deemed. A large-scale effort is be-
ing made in this drive to sell more
bonds to individuals. To make
their efforts more effective, sales
men and directors of bond rallies
must convince purchasers that
these bonds must be held. If the
full benefits are to be realized. the
keynote for the entire campaign
should be Buy and Hold.

u. s. Troops in Britain
Kept Spic and Span by

BY Stan Correspondent Of the North
American Newspaper Alliance.

LONDON-At a salvage and re-
clamation depot somewhere in Eng
land, Corpl. Nurzio E. Forti and Pfc.
Donald Boyle, upstate New Workers,
are helping to give this part Of Eng
land a downtown New York atmos-
phere. They are two of the many
Army tailors and cobblers who are
helping maintain the reputation OF
the American Army as the best
dressed army In the world.
Half Of all the clothing and equip
ment issued in this and other thea
ters now consists of second hand
materials. Torn and worn-out gar
ments are handed in for salvage,
and re-appears as good as new in the
quartermasters' stores. And mil
lions of dollars worth of shipping
space is thus being saved.
English Girls Employed.
American soldier -tailors share the
sewing machines with English girls
and work on a two-shift plan. There
is also a mobile salvage and repair
company, trained for working right
up to the front lines. This COM
pany travels around like a circus in
large trailers drawn by tractors. 1t
is said to be self-sufficient. There
are two trailers each for textile
clothing and shoe repairs.
Shoe repairing Is an important
side of the work. In North Africa,
and particularly during the Tunisian
campaign, fighting over rocky
ground reduced the life of an ordi-
nary G. I. shoe to about two weeks
The salvage and repair outfit here
claims it can rebuild 1000 pairs OF
shoes a week.
The base factory is equipped with
100 electric sewing machines, a dry
cleaning and pressing plant and 130
English girl employees.
Next to the laundry is a pressing
room operated by colored soldiers,
all of whom had from two to eight
years experience in the trade before
the war.
Do Invisible Mending.
IteN 10 really Impressive Invisible
mending. Visitors are always chal-
lenged to point out where the repair
has been made. It's a tough job
finding it. Clothing that has gone
through the salvage and reclama-
ton depot comes out as good as new,
and many a soldier has come away
from his supply room thinking the
sergeant gave him a new overcoat.
The swellest job of all, and one
that pleased everybody, was a job
done by the soldiers on their own
time. In the corner of one of the
rooms until couple of weeks ago
was a heap of cloth dolls, made
from scraps of condemned uniforms.

finally made contact with other
units. He found his way over and
reported the situation to. his COM

reinforcements would be coming In
soon.
He got stretcher bearers to carry

all around the aid station, but 1t.

LAST RITES FOR
HOUSTON CARR TO
BE TOMORROW Pm.

Funeral services for Houston L
Carr, who died Sunday as the re-
suit of a tragic accident at Gusta-
vus, will be held under the auspices
of the Elks at o'clock tomorrow
afternoon in the Charles w. Garter
Mortuary chapel.
The Elks ritualistic services will
be given and the eulogy by the
Rev. w. H. Matthews, Jr., pastor OF
the Methodist Church. Intermen,
will be in the Elks plot in Ever
green Cemetery.
Houston Carr was born on June
10, 1915 at Priest River, Idaho, and
was graduated from the high school
there in 1884, being active in school
plays and popular with all who
knew him. He worked as a forest
ranger, as a choker setter in Ore
gon, and at the Weyerhauser Mil
in Longview, Washington, where he
was an active member of the Elks
Lodge No. 1914.
After induction into the Army in
1913, Mr.. Carr was given an honor
able discharge due to an ear in
jury. Coming to Juneau in October
of the same year, he was employed
by Morrison Knudsen at Gustavus
for six months as a truck driver
On last Thursday afternoon he fell
between the dual tires of an eight
ton road patrol, and both tires
then passed over his body. A plane
brought the injured man to St
AIMS Hospital suffering from frac-
