PARAMOUNT PROBLEMS
What are the most important problems before the
American people today?
In order to get an answer to this question the
National Economic League, composed of leaders in all
walks of life and holding all shades of political, religious
and economic opinion, recently made a poll of its nation
council
Several thousand preferential ballots were return
ed, with administration of justice leading in importance
with 2,209 ;prohibtion being second with 2,068.
Crime, farm relief, taxation and various subjects
having to do with the foreign relations stood high in the
list, while education, unemployment, child welfare and
the tariff were mentioned in considerable number.
Among the subjects submitted which were evident
ly considered of comparatively little importance by the
League council were public utilities, national defense,
railroads, lobbying, and radio.
As understood by those who voted, administration
of jusice refers to the administration of courts, rather
than related subjects such as crime and law enforce
ment. The vote was a protest against the cumbersome,
antiquated and tedious methods of bringing a case to
a conclusion.
Again, the importance attached to prohibition was
not an indication of whether those voting were wet or
dry, but merely their expression that something should
be done about it—stricter enforcement, modification
or repeal.
But whatever its real relative importance may be, it
can hardly be denied that prohibition is the most dis
cussed national problem just now. It is like vise giving
a good many politicians some uneasy moments.
Big city writers often poke fun at items in country
newspapers, but here is one gem from the esteemed
New York World: ‘One night Davy took the wild
cat to bed with him. Quite unintentionally he smothered
it to death. Even then the little anmal did not scratch
his master.” Proving that a wildcat is not necessarily
wild, even after death.
Alaska was purchased from Russia for $7,200,000.
The production of gold since that time amounts close to
8200,000,000. Then add the fish, copper, furs, etc., on top
of that. Not so bad for a one-horse country at that.
What?
To possess capital in Russia appears to be a capi
tal offense.

An Independent Feeling
No matter what their income, every young couple should
have a bank accont.
It is more than a reserve to meet unexpected expenses.
It is more than a means of obtaining more comforts*
and conveniences.
A bank account and a regular method of saving create,
a feeling of independence, a feeling of self-respect.
Money is not everything, but the lack of sufficient funds
often brings unhappiness. Do not let your life be threat
ened by financial worries.

my strength and energy almost
completely left me. Finally I had
to quit my mercantile business en
tirely. I ve spent a great part of
my time in the past four years
‘doctoring’, trying to build myself j
back up, but no medicine helped
rue until i started Sargon, and the
results have been remarkable. My
apptite is fine, I’m gaining in
strength every day and have al
ready put on seven pounds in
weight. My nerves are strengthened
my whole system has been built up
and invigorated and I feel fine all ;
the time.
