JANUARY 12 THRIFT FOR ALBANY PEOPLE Two things are essential factors in strengthening our national financial situation and in promoting individual pros perity: First It is highly important that the millions of people who bought Government securities during the war should be shown the wisdom of holding them until maturity wher ever possible, and the folly of disposing of them below the market price or in exchange for speculative stocks. Second It is most desirable that there be an ever-increasing number who invest regularly in Government se curities of whatever type suits their requirements: 25-cent Thrift Stamps, $5 War-Savings Stamps, $100 and $1,000 Treasury Savings Certificates, Liberty Bonds, and Victory Notes. .,., Our people must be neither .miserly nor spendthrift if we are to develop the greatest national strength. We must cultivate habits of care in the use of money; we must learn the principles of intelligent investment; the power of reserve funds; the freedom which comes with fulfilled financial obligations. These things the Treasury Savings Movement is en deavoring to bring before the public through the widespread distribution of Government securities. In these times of high prices, high salaries and high wages it is necessary for the individual to exercise care and judgment in his expenditures and, while not being too par simonious and everlastingly clinging to the almighty dollar, to buy only what is needed and buy goods of good value. But above all, one should save, and there is no better examole for the American people to follow than to profit by the government's tender of thrift and War-Savings) stamps or treasury savings certincates. This is Thrift Week. Let's all save something. o THE RELENTLESS WHOLESALER Wholesalers are presumed to know something about the trend of prices. They stand near the strategic middle of their industries. They are in touch with the manufacturer and with the retailer, and they themselves presumably have at least a little influence over prices. 1 here may be genera interest, then, in the results of a canvas of big wholesale firms made by a New York newspaper. According to the wholesalers: Men's clothes and hats will be higher in the spring. The peak of shoe prices is not yet reached. ' Women's clothes will go higher, particularly silk and wool. Groceries in general will not be materially lower in 1920. Coffee will go up. Tea may go down a little. Canned goods are still going up. Flour will remain about the same. The only possible bright spot in the gloom is sugar, which may ease a little. There is no sign of any material decrease in meats. - Any consumer is entitled to all the hope he can extract from this report. ' To make the evidence conclusive, however, the manu facturers and retailers should be heard from. And after that, disinterested experts should be heard from, to deter mine how much of this high-price level is inevitable and how much of it is due to exorbitant profits, preventable waste and industrial slacking. Surely the wholesalers have not spoken the last word. ' Poor D'Annunziol Life for him has been just one dis illusionment after another. After he saved Fiume for de mocracy, or poetry, or oratory, or whatever it was, Fiume up a nl turned against him! The Fiumeans, however, arc not the first people that have refused "redemption." o If Greece takes a mandate for Constantinople, will it be bandatory for all nations to have their shoes shined there? Comment of the State Press Snappy Gleaming! from Press of the Valley ths Bryan la Irrepressible Surlry Mr. Bryan has lost his old time courage or he would never advise such a humiliating course as he sug gested last night. It is unthinkable that the administration forces throw the league of nations overboard mere ly because a narrow-minded partisan like Lodge is temporarily in control of the senate, ventures the Pendle ton East Oregonian. A Cigar-Store Indian "Lone Star" Diets geU 30 days in jail for claiming in his questionairc that he is an Indian and therefore not subject to military service. A more fitting punishment, the Eugene Register thinks, might be to send him back to the reservation to wear blanket the rest of his life. The Same Old Steam Roller The old guard is laying the pipes for the National Republican conven-j tion. "Progressive" Republicans look I on with intercts, and some indigna tion, but they will acquiesce, the Polk Itimiser predicts. Everything is set for a cut-and-dried program. The Hays-Penrose-Lodge combination will. dominate. Mr. Lodge, one-time friend of Col. Theodore Roosevelt, is saying "me too" to all the suggestions of Messrs. Penrose and Hays, the real dictators for the G. O. P. Much to the surprise of some of his colleagues ' in the Senate, Mr. Lodge issued a statement approving the plan of the National Republican committee for a mixed body to draw up a platform be fore the nominating convention meets in June. , BRODIE WILL NOT BECOME CANDIDATE Oregon City Publisher ' De clines to Run for Secre tary of State OREGON CITY, Ore., Jan. 12 (Special) E. E. Itrodie, publisher of the Morning Enturpritr, anuounred Saturday that he woild not be a can didate for the Republican nomination for Secretary of Stato at the primary election next May. "My many friends among the news pup r editors of the state," said Mr. Brodte today, "were the first to pro pose my name in connection with the office of Secretary of State, and I have already received, without my solicitation, the endorsement and prom iscd support of more than SO papers throughout the state. "This, of course, is extremely grati fying and flattering, and I am deeply appreciative of the kind things that have been aiid about me. This is the firt time that I have ever been even a protprctive candidate for public of fice, though I have been honored by election and appointment to non-aal-aried positions in ths state.
