LIKE HOME, LIKE NATION!
In taking counsel with a Com
mittee of Congress is to our
great and growing need of a
national budget system to plan
and limit what Uncle Sam
spends, Carter Glass, the then
Secretary of the Treasury, said:
The Government of the Unit,
ed States is like a private lam
ily in which the w ife, having
charge of the spending part of
the family’s business, is given
carte blanche to buy houses, au
tomobiles, clothes, and food and
to employ servants as she may
find wise with a view to increa
| sing tn • comfort, improving the
education, cultivating the taste
and enhancing the prestige and
social standing of the family;
and the husband’s sole business
is to see that there is money in
the bank to meet her checks as
they are presented.
Well, it’s a representative gov
eminent,isn’t it. So how about
our own little cases'? Hive we,
the individual citizens, sufficient
personal budgets or family bud
gets'?
Knowledge of the facts about
o ir spending is the basis for
our thrift and the plug for all
the holes of silly wastes.
Recently a committee engaged
in drawing up good thrift id
vice put it first in the following
list of principles:
1. Make a budget.
2. Keep an intelligent record
of expenditures.
3. Have a bank account.
4. Carry a life insurance.
5. Make a will.
b. Own your own home even
tually.
7. Pay your bills promptly
8. Spend less than you earn.

bank connection. We believe that this bank can serve you
advantageously.”
