Those who are urging extreme econ omy on the part of the people of the United States are doing their best to bring on a financial depression. What will this country do If we Tiave finan cial depression on one hand and ex tremely high taxation on the other? The period of panic that tne country recently went through and which, be cause of war abroad and peace at home, we recently emerged from, w'll be surpassed ten-fold. If these ex treme economists' plans should be put Into general operation by the people of the United States. A man with an ounce of intelligence can see that if' the people who have the money to spend stop buying at the stores, the. stores will fall and go into bankruptcy, hundreds of em ployes will be discharged, the orders of the factories will be discontinued, the factories, except those supplying the government! orders, will be closed up and thousands of their employes will be discharged. Money Must Be Spent. If the people do not spend money now we will toon have hard times necessity for extreme economy which prevents people from spending their money, we will soon have a financial crisis in the country. You cannot take away from the pur chasing activity of a community the money that is removed by taxation and the money that is hoarded through fear, and have anything left to sus tain the business of the country. As a matter of fact, the people who can spend should continue to spend. The business of the country should go on as far as possible as usual. Thrift Movement Misunderstood. There is' no doubt but what the great thrift movement started by the government is being misunderstood. The stores are already encountering the effect of this dread of high taxa tion and this preachment of false economy. How many thousands, how many millions, of people in this country are dependent upon the liberal spending of the well-to-do elements of the com munity? How many thousands of peo ple would be deprived of their in come, .deprived of their livelihood, if that liberal spending by the people Irst'" are familiar sights on the street. Every possible method that can be devised to give publicity to the movement is being worked out by the committee in charge. The spirit of the campaign was ably presented by Earl A. Clark, pres ident of the Progressive Business Men's club, in an address at the meet ing of the West Coast Lumbermen's association last week. A part of his speech is given below: "The buy n home movement is es sentially a movement embracing ihe co-operation of every interest that is benefited by home ownership of every family in America.

Portland has so many things to be optimistic over and If the people go about their business as usual, there will be no depression but rather a no tioeable prosperity as a direct result of the war. Portland is sure to get her share of the $7,000,000,000 war loan which will be spent in this coun try. When did Portland ever have such a payroll as it now possesses or have as much money expended in its industries? It is certainly time that Portland advertised its present prosperous con dition not only to Its own people but to the world at large. Should Support Bond Isms. ine puDucity given to the "Buy a Home'' campaign has already had a beneficial effect on the realty market It has started the people to thinking about owning their own homes and the many advantages to be derived there from. All that the majority of the people need Is a little encouragement along this line to induce them to pur chase homes of their own. This campaign will be carried cn in a much more elaborate way next year. In this wonderful land of op portunities at least "5 per cent of the people should own their own homes. There is a great deal of building activity in Laurelhurst right now and we anticipate transacting a very large business this year. It is noticeable that more people are purchasing homes at this time on an all-cash basis than for some time heretofore. We should by all means vote the $3,000,000,000 dock and elevator bond Issue and it would be nothing short of public disgrace not to vote the road bond. If these two bond issues are voted. Oregon will be lifted out of the mud and Portland will take on a new lease of life and become one of tho great ports of the world. There has never been an lss-ue before the voters of Oregon that is so vital to Oregon's future as these two bond issues.

Wilcox of Eau Claire, is urging Governor Philipp to issue a proclamation designating reg istration day under the conscription J law as Loyalty Day. thing that has the influence upon the family, and especially the man or i woman at the head of that family, . that creates an interest in good gov- ernment, fair dealing and piogressive I principles In all things w6rth while, as a home owned by that family. " 'The Buy a Home First' campaign ; in fact, originated with the lumber- j men. Back of It are the facts . that the lumbermen know so well exist, as I have just outlined. The idea of buying a home first means just what the words imply. A home is the most essential necessity. The American people today are buying luxuries, and the home ownership of the families of this country so well established has been given a solar plexus blow , by the preponderance of advertising of unnecessary luxuries to the point j where people are mortgaging every thing they have to obtain thes lux- ! uries. They soon awake to the fact that their luxuries have depreciated bo fast that they have nothing of a tangible asset to show for them. They have r.ot practiced thrift in any sense of the word and are worse off than ever. "That condition Is staring hundreds of thousands of families In the face in this country today, so the neces sity of owning a home is plafrier to them than it has been for the past generation. Campaign Nation-"Wide. " 'The Buy a Home First' campaign Is national in Its scope. It will be put on throughout th- country each spring for an Indefinite number of years until the menace which is eat- ing at the roots of the foundation of j this country of buying and spending money for luxuries Is to a great ex tent overcome. It commands the co operation or every business man, thinker and good citizen in America. It Is being given their support, which will be increased as the good work goes on. "The general committee handling this work realizes that at the present time there is a big foreign market for lumber and lumbermen are not looking to local business or expect ing a large house building activity in the northwest this searon. They should realize, however, that a de mand is being created throughout the country for lumber for i.ouie build ing, and that this work w.ii be car ried on. year after year.
