DID YOU MEAN
Liberal support of the Victory loan
by every loyal citizen is dictated both
by patriotism and business common
sense.
Our boys finished up the fighting,
which was their part of the job, with
a rush and were still pressing eager
ly forward when the armistice went
into effect. We ought to emulate
their example by subscribing our j
share of this last war loan promptly
and cheerfully. This is our part of
the job. There are hundreds of thou
sands of our boys still in France.
They must be fed and clothed and
housed and the cost of this is heavy.
They must be brought home as soon
as possible. "They can neither swim
nor fly back to this country and
ships are scarce. It costs money to
provide the ships and the govern
ment is asking us to loan the money
required to care for and bring home
our gallant sons. They invested their
lives in victory and have a right to
expect that we will invest our dol
lars.
If the people refuse to loan the
money which the government needs
"to wind up its war obligations, tlieu
the government will take it in the
form of taxes. Having conscripted
the lives of its young men, it will
not hesitate to conscript the dollars
of its citizens. Which would you
rather have—Uncle Sams tax re
ceipts or Uncle Sam's bonds?
' Gather up all the tax receipts you
have ever received, and what will
they bring on the market? Not a red
cent. What are your government
bonds worth? A little below par
now, but with the last big loan out
of the way the supply of bonds for
Bale below par will soon he exhaust
ed, and the big moneyed Interests,
which are reaping a rich harvest at
the expense of the weak holders who
are throwing their bonds on the mar
ket at present prices, will be forced
to buy them at a premium, because
they must have these securities,
which constitute the safest invest
ment on earth.
When the news of the signing oi
the armistice reached this commun
ity everybody went crazy with en
thusiasm and expressed their joy and
gratitude in wild celebrations.
Did you mean it? Was your en
thusiasm and gratitude no deeper
than could be expressed iv noisy
demonstrations? Your response to
the Victory loan will be the answer
to this question. If you are willing
to pay no higher price" for victory
than shouting and flag waving you
will try to shirk subscribing your fair
share of the money which that vic
tory, cost our government. If your
protestations of joy over the ending
of the war and of gratitude'to the
brave men who won it for you were
sincere, then yo will gladly and
promptly subscribe tor your quota
of the Victory loan, and help finish
up our part of the war job.
It you *ere *« Blacker during the
war, you can not afford to be a quit
ter now, for a quitter is a near
slacker.
WM. GOODYEAR.
GET OFF THE SUCKER LIST
Are you on the sucker list?
If you are it Is probably because
you are not a sucker but a patriotic
citizen who has known the Liberty
Bond to be a good thing.
Get-rick-quick swindlers have been
the great American sport for years.
The sharpers who sell fake stocks
saw their game endangered when
Uncle Sam started his great Liberty.
Loan campaigns.
But they are smart—these gentle
men who live by their wits.
Instead of complaining they
jumped in and put themselves and
all their employes to work trading
their fake stuff for Liberty Bonds.
If you have a Liberty Bond, or a
book of War Savings Stamps you are
a "prospect' for fake stock. Your
name is probably on the sucker list
of the oily tongued sharper because
over 20 million patriots bought Li
berty Bonds.
You are not to blame for being
on the sucker list but it is up to you
to get off—away off— that list at
your first oportunity.
The American people are paying
out some half billion dollars a year
to the suport of worthless stock
schemes. The people reap therefrom
$500,000,000 worth of —thin air.
That is not a wild guess. It is
the estimate given by the Capital
Issues committee Of the U. S. Trea
sury. And the committee assures
ua that it is conservative.
Moreover, the half billion repre
seats just the cold cash that is turned
in every year by otherwise level
head",! Americana seeking a milk
and-honey path to quick wealth by
the fake stock certificate route. It I
i does not take into account the vast
I economic loss Incident to broken for-
I tunes, impaired effort of discouraged
i Investors and to the diversion from
i legitimate business enterprise of new
{ productive capital.
: The Capital Issues committee
, charged with keeping the nation's in
! vestment dollars on a w ork-or-f ight
basis during the war, has ma a
searching inquiry into the devious
: by-ways of Fraudulent stock promo
tion. Its conclusion is that never
I perhaps In the history of the country
| has wildcat: practice been so flagrant
j —from coast to coast—as today.
As a result of the government's
I great war loan campaigns, there are
; now hundreds of thousands of Ameri
cans converted to the idea of saving
;and investing. With a veiy great
' | proportion, Hi iLr Investment expert
jence is limited to the good, rock
1. bottom government war bond.
1 .The iaklr is after them. Thou
•;R?nds of "salesmen" carefully drilled
•;in the gentle nrt of -Ming on the
ij first call" and getting out cf town.
■ fire abroad.
» They will tell you you were a pa-
triot, a real citizen, to have bought
Liberty Bonds. However, you've
made your sacrifice, the war's over
now—and really four and one-quar
ter percent is no return at all in
peace times—let us exchange your
bonds for this exceptional offering
positively guaranteed to bring in any
where from 10 to 500 per cent in
dividends before the year's out —as
soon as the oil well is sunk, or the
mine shaft completed, or the pro
perty developed, or the like. '
THAT is the brand of the stock
swindler today: that he is "willing"
—as an accommodation to you, you
understand —to "accept" your good
Liberty Bonds in "exchange" for this
worthless stuff.
1 Happily there is a government
agency today on the trail of the stock
sharp. It is the Federal Trade Com
mission, empowered by congress to
prevent unfair methods of competi
tion in interstate commerce. The
commission may well be expected to
look upon the fleecing of Americans
of their Liberty Bonds as decidedly
"unfair."
If you own a Liberty Bond you'll
doubtless have an early call from
one of the pleasant representatives
of the sharper outfit. When you do,
just drop a postal to the Federal
Trade Commission at Washington
and tell them about that visit and
send them the attractive literature
that is handed you, together with the
name and home address of , the
"salesman." Or, send it in to this
paper and we will forward it to
Uncle Sam's men.
It would be Interesting to know
hew much of the $500,000,000 a
year filters out of the Northwest to
the detriment of our banks, our mer
chants and our legitimate business
development. Also, how many of us
are on the Sucker List.
Let's keep our loose change at
home.
The Boy Scouts have set a fine
example by cleaning up the hill side
south of Maiden lane. If every citi
zen would clean up his or her prem
ises with equal thoroughness the ap
pearance of Pullman would be won
derfully improved.
The truth of the old adage: "None
are so blind as those who will not
see," is being demonstrated by cer
tain United States senators who re
fuse to admit that there is any virtue
in the proposed constitution of the
league of nations. %
Senator Hall gave sound advice
when he urged that the question of
bonding the county for good roads
should be carefully considered from
every angle before action is taken.
When the boys come home they
will want to know if you helped to
bring them back by subscribing to
the Victory loan.
Investing in Victory loan notes is
far pleasanter than contributing to
a war indemnity fund. *
