THE VICTORY LOAN
THE final bond selling campaign in the gigantic task of
financing America's part in the world war will open
next Monday. At this writing the exact amount of the
bond issue is not known but it is generally understood that
the amount will not be far from $6,000,000,000, or about
the same as the amount called for in the fourth loan of
which Morrow county took a little more than her quota of
$272,000.
Coming at the time it does on the heels of the pay
ment of local and income taxes and before the current
crops of Morrow county's chief products, wheat and wool,
are ready for the market, the task of placing that amount
ot government securities in this county will be no light one
It promises to be a campaign which will call for the earnest
and united effort of every loyal citizen of the county

transportation of troops and supplies to the war-torn fields
of France in the face of that supposedly impassable barrier
of submarines, will be lacking and in its place will be found
a measure of apathy that always goes with peace in a land
like ours.
This apathy must be overcome not only in Morrow
county but all over the nation if the government of the
United States is to maintain its financial integrity among
the nations of the earth. Much of the money which will
be realized from the sale of these bonds has already been
expended and in lieu of the cash the credit of the govern
ment has been pledged.' These obligations must be

met and should the bond issue fail the amount will have to
be realized by a direct tax on the necessities of the people.
It is a choice of loaning your money to the government at
a fair rate of interest or of being required to give the
amount by increased direct or indirect taxation.
The government of the united States was in no
wise responsible for the war. For two and one-half
years those in authority at Washington exhausted every
expedient to avoid becoming entangled in the European
horror but when forbearance ceased to be a virtue we were
forced to take a hand, not only in defense of our own in
alienable rights as a free and independent people but also
to do our part in the titantic struggle for the cause of dem
ocracy and civilization.
Some there are at this time who are disposed to crit
icize the government's course in the prosecution of the
war. They talk of the more than lavish expenditure of
money; of the mistakes in this and that department; of bad
conditions in this camp or at that port; of unjust and exces
sive punishment of soldiers for trivial offences. These
critics should remember, however, that a little more than
two years ago the United States was at peace with the
world and with perhaps 75 percent of the people strongly
in favor of remaining at peace; so strongly in favor of
peace and against war, in fact, that the country was in a
deplorable condition of unpreparedness. But when Ger
many's unspeakable atrocities finally forced official Wash
ington to enter the war almost in .a night the entire-country
rallied behind the government and urged that the Hun
be beaten regardless of cost.
At that time practically all military authorities
agreed that several years would be required to win the war.
Germany boasted that America was unprepared; that she
.-11. 1 1, . 1
coma 1101 ' aise an army large enuogn to cut any ngure m
Europe and that if she could draft an army that she could
not transport" the men and the necessary supplies across
the water. Even the Allies doubted our ability to make
good and the hearts of many good Americans at home
were filled with fear as they contemplated the gigantic
task. Buf we raised an army of millions, and in th face of
every devilish contrivance that German ingenuity could in
vent we crossed them to Europe with a minimum loss and
within a few months our illy trained doughboys, thousands
of them less than three .months from the pursuits of peace,
turned the tide of battle and brought the sneering, self-important
ITun to his knees.
America's accomplishment between April 1917 when
we entered the war and November 1918 when the armistice
was signed, was no child s play. It was no time for penny
paring, picyunish policy. It was a time that called for ac
tion; for the doing of big things quickly and without re
gard for. monetary cost. We were and are the richest na
tion on earth and in this instance, as in all others when out
raged humanity called for succor our purse-strings were
unloosed and our money flowed like water in our determin
ation to help France iand little Belgium retain their toe
hold on the sacred soil for which thev fought.

were unavoidable, uratters and profiteers were on the job
because we are still living in a world peopled with a race of
imperfect human beings1 and those things have been apart
of every war since time began.
But in spite of all the evidence the critics can adduce
the big fact remains that we accomplished what expert?
pronounced the impossible by turning the tide within a few
short months and before .we had nearly all of our men on
the job.
War costs money and always the people must pay the
bill in one way or another. Which way shall it be? Shall
we buy more interest bearing bonds as a combined patri
otic duty and an investment or shall we meet this national
obligation by paying direct taxes and never see our money
again? , .
