EMPHASIZING THRIFT
To emphasize the easy opportunity
of practicing thrift by purchasing War
Savings Stamps is the purpose of a
circular letter issued by the savings
division of the United States treas
ury. The letter comments on the
change effected in the popular idea
of thrift. Formerly it was regarded
as a vice; now, it is held to be a
virtue.
“Americans are coming to have a
more wholesome idea of the real na
ture of thrift,” declares the letter.
“Mr. Basil P. Blackett, British exche
quer representative in the United
States, has remarked that before the
war an Englishman considered saving
a vice proper only to a Scotchman.
There was a good deal of that idea
lurking in the minds of Americans,
who confused thrift with penny pinch
ing, stinginess, and a doleful sort of
meanness and miserliness. Many Am
ericans would have as soon been ac
cused of wifebeating as of thrift.
Much saving propaganda attempted to
frighten us into savings. The horrors
of a penniless old age were pictured
and grave maxims depicted saving as
a grinding and disagreeable duty.
Surrounded by such an atmosphere, it
is not surprising that the thrift doc
trine was not enthusiastically embrac
ed by free-born Americans.
mi n i * ---“ —
forces both the
nation and individuals to think and
live in terms of fundamentals. Thrift
was an absolute necessity for every
one during war time, and from this
enforced contact with the concrete ap
plication of the doctrine we have come
to appreciate that thrift simply means
wise spending; it means living better,
not worse; raising, instead of lowering
the standard of living. Seen in its
true colors, thrift appeals to our in
telligence—simply spend wisely and
thoughfully instead of thoughtlessly
and on the spur of the moment. Thrift
smooths out the peaks and valleys of
our economic road; it provides for
plenty at all times instead of contrast
ed periods of excessive supply and
unfilled needs. The principle of thrift
is to so distribute our income among
our needs and desires that we get the
maximum of satisfaction from the ex
penditure. Instead of laying out our
income wholly on the needs, and even
whims, of the immediate present, we
can increase the total satisfaction se
cured by applying a certain proportion
to the real needs of the future at the
expense of some present whims the
satisfaction of which gives little or no
benefit. Thrifty spending means
thoughtful outlay of income with a
due consideration for all wants, pres
ent and future. It is an aid to com
fort, ease of mind, and cheerfulness.
“Realizing the importance of stimu
lating and aiding the practice of thrift,
our government is offering an attrac
tive form of security for the invest
ment of these savings. In War Sav
ings Stamps, the government offers
the combined advantage of the abso
lute security which only the govern
ment can give, a very attractive rate
of interest, exceptional convenience of
form and denomination, extreme ac
cessibility of purchase, and quick re
deemabillty in case of emergency.”
VOICE OF THE* ALASKA PRE88
Everything seems to be quiet on the
Siberian front among the American
soldiers since General Richardson
landed there. The general has handled
road gangs in Alaska and probably
fired the cook. That is generally the
first thing done in a dissatisfied camp
in the North.—Douglas News.
Streets of Ketchikan, have names,
or so it is said, but the fact is not
very well advertised. The stranger in
Ketchikan could search forever for a
street without finding it, If he expected
to get any assistance from sign posts
or markers. At a recent meeting of
the city council the matter was dis
cussed but nothing was done toward
securing proper signs for all the
streets. It would be a big improve
ment if the council could see fit to
have street sign posts on all corners,
and have the business and residential
buildings numbered. Ketchikan is
growing and the present size of the
city demands this improvement.—Ket
chikan Times.
Wickersham knows that he would
have been defeated by an Overwhelm
ing majority had it not been that 2,500
Alaskan voters were on the Outside
serving their country in the army and
navy. The boys are returning now,
and he knows that overwhelming de
feat would certainly be his portion if
he should be a candidate at the elec
tion in June. Therefore he will Beek
to represent Alaska whether she
would have him or not by trying to
wire pull a title out of congress based
on technicalities that would not only
disfranchise those returned from war
but those who cast their votes in good
faith last fall.—Juneau Empire.
The council will either have to pass
an ordinance prohibiting citizens from
purchasing any more automobiles or
else the limits of the town will have
to be extended to accomodate the
traffic. By regulating the length of
the truck bodies a few more could be
crowded into town, but if many more
come an elevated roadway will have
to be built to the dock for use by ped
estrians. It makes a man sore to
dodge limousines all his life and then
come North and be run over by a
Ford.—Valdez Miner.

SELLING COMPANIES
DALLAS, Tex., June 3 (by Asso
ciated Press).—The Texas Oil Invest
ors’ Protective Association has heen
organized to combat activities of ir
responsible and fraudulent stock sell
ing oil companies. The association,
composed of hundreds of investors,
will take action to force dividends
from fraudulent companies and sal
vage from incompetents.
Association officers claim that many
companies have squandered funds of
stockholders, while many others are
failing to pay dividends when produc
tion is ample to justify such payment.
Public interest was so great after
the discovery of new Texas oil fields
that nearly every one invested, asso
ciation officials Bay. Because of unre
strtctsd stock Benina, the situation
has become such that it is almost im
possible to dispose of stock for the
most meritorious development enter
prises, big oil men say.

SUPREME COURT
RULES FAVOR
GOVT. RATES
WASHINGTON, June 3 (by ilsso
elated Press).—Authority of the post
master general to increase intrs state
telephone and telegraph rates at de
elded yesterday by the supreme »ur(
was involved in proceedings bn tghl
from South Dakota, Massachu etts
Kansas, and Illinois and argued lere
on May 5 and 6. All grew out o Mr
Burleson’s order placed in effe< t or
January 21 last under authority t the
joint resolution by which the gc ram
ment acquired control of the wire »ys
terns, increasing telephone intrs slate
toll rates with the exception o the
Illinois case which involved inen tsec
telegraph rates only.
Arguments of the cases in th i su
preme court attracted wide attejitloi
and attorney generals from a scoh ol
states were present while brielfe a*
amici curiae were filed by the Nat ena
Association of Railroad and F pli<
Utility commissioners represe ilnp
thirty-seven states as well as bj th<
states of Wisconsin, Pennsylvanii inc
Ohio and also by the Protective Me
phone Association of Baltimore, dd
The South Dakota case res itec
from injunctions granted by the itat«
supreme court restraining the Di k>t£
Central Telephone Company as vel
as three other companies in that atf
from charging rates promulgate bj
Mr. iiurieson. me proceeuings »rt
instituted by the state authorities inc
the state court in granting the in me
tions held that the rates were il ega
as they had not been approved b; ’.he
state board of railroad commissic i:rs
The government won the Mass (hu
setts case in which the state c irts
dismisse d injunction proceei iigs
brought by the state public se ic«
commission to restrain the New ing
land Telephone and Telegraph lint
pany from placing the order int ef
feet, the court holding that the su t ir
effect was against the United S lies
government and brought withou its
consent.. In that case, the state tm
mission also contended that the l ii.es
were illegal as they had been pi tec
in effect without the commission': ap
proval as required by state statut t.
The Kansas case was different on'
the others in that it was an <&wa
proceeding brought in the suj|^.<
court to restrain the postmaster gem
eral from carrying out the provision;
of his order in that state on thi
grounds that the rates had not beei
approved by the state authorities a;
provided by law and that they wer<
illegal and exorbitant.
The Illinois proceedings were orig
inally instituted by Postmaster Gen
eral Burleson who sought to restraii
state authorities from interfering witt
the enforcement of his order increas
ing telegraph toll rates. A temporarj
injunction was granted but when th<
case came upon its merits, Federa
District Judge Landis dissolved the
injunction and instead enjoined thf
postmaster general from placing his
order into effect. To permit an appeal
Judge Landis granted an order con
tinuing for ten days the temporary
injunction originally awarded Mr. Bur
leson and withheld enforcement of his
own injunction during that time but
upon the government’s motion, the su
preme court extended this order so as
to permit the postal authorities to con
tinue to collect the higher rates pend
ing final determination of this case.
Yesterday’s opinion was regarded as
being of sweeping importance In view
of the fact that suits involving similar
questions have been instituted in
about twenty-five states with the re
suit that in South Dakota, Florida, In
diana, Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri,
Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New
York and Michigan decision against
the government have been rendered
in the state courts while in the federal
courts in Florida, Indiana, New Jersey,
Wisconsin and North Dakota as well
as in the state courts of Alabama,
Louisiana, Massachusetts and Okla
homa, the right of the postmaster gen
eral to fix rates has been sustained.
In addition, litigations have also been
Instituted in other states among them
being Kansas, Georgia, Mississippi,
Texas and California.
