The problem of government finances
Is just as complicated as we choose
to make it. Approached from differ
ent angles, it can be mnde as baffling
as a Chinese puzzle or as simple as
the operntlou of an old-fashioned
dasher churn.
If one attempts to delve into the
ramifications of the expansion of cur
rency, and all that sort of thing, he
is very likely to develop stiff neck
from craning up and down columns
of figures and wind up by declaring
that figures lie horribly.
On the other hand, if he faces the
situation in a broad, concrete way
and compares it with the problem of
financing his home, or some similar
everyday expenditure, he can grasp
and master it as he would the handle
of the family pump.
Here is the government's immediate
financial problem in a nutshell In
the next twelve months $24,000,000,
000 probably will be required by the
United States government to meet war
expenses. The total income of every
person in this country is only about
$(50,000,000,000 a year. Therefore, if
the cost of the war for the next year
were to be assessed pro rata, every
person's share would be forty-eight
cents on every dollar that he or she
earns.
Needed to Beat Off Murderers.
Now let us bring the proposition a
little nearer home. Suppose that a
band of murderers. In blood-smeared
uniforms of gray, having slaughtered
their way through the helpless waves
of women and children in nearby
cities Just as the Hun has done in
France and Belgium, established
themselves in the woods at the edge
of our town with the fixed purpose of
waging slaughter in our midst. Then,
If It were announced by the authori
ties that It would cost forty-eight
cents of every dollar that every earn
er in our town made in the next
twelve months to conduct a defense
against the murderer, that would be
clear, wouldn't it? And if the authori
ties were to go further and say that
they would assess sixteen gents of
this forty-eight on persons who cojjld
nfford to pay it and accept the other
thirty-two from persons who, out of
their zeal to aid in the defense of
their homes and their loved ones,
would take the promise of the local
government to repay it, that would be
plain, too.
There isn't a bit of difference be
tween the local case I have described
and the present case of United States
government. The Hun is In the offing,
the government needs an average of
48-one hundredths of everyone's eCm
ing in the next year to conduct its de
fense, and it pians to raise this money
on a one-third tax and two-thirds bond
or stamp sale plan. Within the next
year approximately $8,000,000,000 will
be raised by taxes and $16,000,000,000
by the sale of government securities,
Muat Be Raised by Economy.
There Is the situation, and the ques
tion now arises: How In the land of
Goshen are we ever going to raise
such a sum as $24,000,000,000? The
answer Is: Save as we never have
before.
It will not be pleasant to skimp our
selves, for we have not been used to
skimping, but we simply shall have to
do it. That old $24,000,000,000 re
quirement is going to stick to us like
a burr to a pair of mittens, and we
simply must raise it.
We must practice the same economy
to raise the money with the Hun 3,
000 miles away that we would if he
were in the grove out at the edge of
town. He may be 3,000 miles away in
person, but at every beat his lustful
heart spans that gap between your
daughter and mine and his fingers
have a virulent 3,000 mile itch for
your money and your farms.
The question of what each of us
must economize on can be settled only
In our Individual minds and at our
own firesides. If the Hun were in the
grdVe literally, would any of us ask
our neighbors what we should sacri
fice in order to help raise our respec
tive shares of the forty-eight cents
on the dollar? I think not.
My notion is that the question every
patriotic American should ask himself
1 b What must I have? The query:
Whht can I get along without? Is not
searching enough.
Heber Grim's Story Apropos.
Every time the idea of saving oc
curs to me I think of old Heber Grim,
a character out In my western Indiana
town who had a perennial habit of
Joining church. Just as regularly ns
revival meeting time rolled around,
Heber would get himself all het up
over his sins and, along in the last
days of the meeting, he wonld come
rearing and snorting' -down the aisle
and Join up.
Somehow, though, Heber never got
around to making any sacrifices In
behalf of his new found religion. He
always kept right on chewing tobacco,
swearing like a mule driver, drinking
like a fish. and. wont of alL squander
ng his money on loud clothes and i
ither luxuries to such au extent that j
he seldom had a cent to apply to any j
worthy cause, -uch as the care of his
family or the upkeep of the church
As a result of Heber's regularity in
blacksliding, therefore, for a dozen
years or more the church folks never
baptized him. They just sort of let
him slide along, and, when immersion
day finally arrived he usually was
out behind his trotting horse, at a
cock fight, or at some other place
scarcely fitted for converts.
Finally, though, the church authori
ties got tired of Heber's professions
of faith and their subsequent batten
ing out, and when the next revival
started, along in the spring, and he
began to show signs of interest, they
advised him that his confession would
be received only with the understand
ing that immersion should follow im
mediately. He thought the matter
over for three days and then agreed
to join that night and be baptized
without delay. And, sure enough, he
arrived bright and early, and, when
the going got good he joined up for
the thirteenth time.
Baptized Him in a Flood.
Unfortunately, just as the meeting
started, a terrific storm arose and the
subsequent cloudburst flooded the
country, Coal Creek, where the baptiz
ing was to take place, being particu
larly swollen. This situation made
the baptizing somewhat dangerous,
but the authorities agreed that it waa
their only chance to get Heber, so,
after church, with the repentant sin
ner in tow, and armed with lanterns,
they filed down to the creek for the
baptizing.
Stories differ as to how Heber, just
as he was being immersed, escaped
the officiating pastor's hands, some
saying he wriggled out and others
maintaining that he slipped, but, any
how, he disappeared in the darkness.
Daylight found him perched in a
sycamore tree, a mile down the creek.
In the center of a whirlpool that was
worth a man's life to attempt to in
vade. Henee, we had to leave him op
the tree for three days uatil the water
receded.
Why He Vowed Sacrifices.
When the rescuing party finally ar
rived at the base of the tree, it was
surprised to find Heber raining down
plug tobacco, drinking liquor, dice,
stickpins, fancy rings and other trink
ets on which he had squandered his
money, and declaring loudly that there
was no sacrifice he would not make in
the future for the good of the church
and the protection of his soul. Nor
did he descend until he had stripped
himself of everything that he could
reasonably spare and a little bit more.
"Well, Heber." Bill Boggs, the post
master said, after shaking hands with
hlm, "I certainly was impressed with
your spirit of sacrifice. Why was It
that you never did that before?"
"Why. thunderation, man!" Heber
exploded. "I never was up a tree like
that before."
And there you are. When before
were we, as patriotic citizens, up a
tree as vve are this year?
Conservation and Reclamation Divi
sion Obtains Maximum Utilization
of All Materials.
One of the most insidious pieces of
German propaganda which the govern
ment has to combat appears in the
form of rumors concerning excessive
wastes of all foodstuffs and supplies
in our army camps and cantonments.
A glance at the work of the conserva
tion and reclamation division of the
army readily establishes the falsity
of these reports.
The aim of the conservation and
reclamation division is to obtain the
maximum utilization of all materials
of service, to reduce the waste of
these materials to a minimum, to de
stroy nothing, and to dispose of all ma
terial useless to the army at the great
est profit possible.
No restrictions are placed upon our
soldiers' appetites, but the highest care
is exerted to prevent the soldier from
taking more on his plate than he wants
—in other words, much of the food
that formerly was lost through care
lessness is now saved. The reclama
tion officer and his assistants in every
camp and every cantonment are re
sponsible for the separating and the
classifying of kitchen waste, produced
in the preparation and serving of every
meal at the mess; the object of this
careful separation and classification
of kitchen waste is to prevent wast
age.
The-division also has active charge
of farming and garden operations for
each camp and cantonment. The red
uce raised Is used In rationing troops
and providing animals with forage.
No men fit for active duty are re
quired to assist In this agricultural
service. The quartermaster general
of the army has a much more efficient
plan, for he has this work done by In
terned aliens, enemy prisoners, con
scientious objectors and military pris
oners. Of onr own enlisted men only
those physically unsulted for service
overseas or partially disabled are as
signed to this agricultural work. It is
believed that after a few months of
outdoor work, many of the men now
unfit will so improve physically that
they* will become fit for transfer to
fighting units. Thus the army will
reclaim men as well as materials and
supplies.
The boys at the front and at camps
and cantonments in this country also
are setting a stnndard in- conservation
and reclamation which Is magnificent.
They are doing their utmost to see
that every penny invested in the cause
of democracy, through Liberty Bonds
and otherwise. Is utilized efficiently.
