FALLS, OREGON, FRIDAY,
KEEP BUSINESS GOING
For Our Country's Sake
(By JOHN WANAMAKER)
Our country preaperoua can pay our war coats, aa they come, and
have enough left over to aid our allies.
Our country unproaperoua, with bualneaa halting, money hoarded,"
through fear or false economy, will be hard pressed to keep food en
the table and clothing on the back.
"Keep Bualneaa Going" la a patriotic alogan. Keep money in clr.
culatlen. Keep employment for everybody. Keep wagea good. Keep
on making money that we may have money to apend for war sacrifices.
The worst thing that could happen to the world theae daya would
be a bualneaa depression In our United States.
War itself doca not cauae bualneaa depreaaion.
The bllliona of dollar of money to be expended In war prepara
tlona will be put Into circulation in our own country, and thla in itself
will create new wealth for uaa in the world struggle for humanity.
The one thing that 'might halt bualneaa now la an unpatriotic
paycheleglcal feeling of panic and a falae Idea of patriotic economy.
Patriotic Economy meana the elimination of waste and extrava
gance. It meana the conaervatlon of our food producta, our natural
wealth, our health, our energise, our labor, our vary Uvea. It meana
putting mor efficiency In everything we do ao that 'each unit of money
energy and Intelligence may accomplish the utmoat.
Patriotic eeenomy doea not mean the lowering of Amerlca'e stand
ard of living, which would make ua less efficient physically and men.
Utlyrnatlenalryamd Individually, and" would kill the aplrit and the will
to do the truly self-sacrificing th Inge to be done.
Citlea and communities must go on with their civic improvemente.
Road building and public worka muat proceed. Rallroada muat renew
their equipment. Factories must be kept going to their full capacity.
Labor must be employed. Homes must be kept up. Merchandise muat
Jte produced, distributed and used.
War dutlea and war expenditurea muat be in ADDITION to peace
dutlea and peace expenditure. The more we do the more we CAN do.
The more money we apend the more we will have In our pockata to
apend. Money create money.
In a werd: THE NATURAL SANE LIFE OF THE COUNTRY
MUST PROCEED AS THOUGH WE WERE NOT AT WAR, IN OR
OER THAT WE MAY HAVE THE NECESSARY PROSPERITY TO
PROMOTE THE WAR TO A QUICK AND SUCCESSFUL CONCLU
SION. President Wilson aounda the keynote In thla aentence: "It la evi
dent to every thinking man that our Induatriea, on the farm, In the
ahlpyarde, in the mines, in the factories, muat be made more prolific
. and mere, efficient"
Our induatriea can be made more prolific only if the people buy
and use the merchandlae produced by our induatriea. Manufacturing
alackana whan bualneaa alackena. Manufacturing growa In a prolific
way when bualneaa growa. And bualneaa can grow and remain health
ful only when the people buy and keep money In circulation.
Buslneaa 18 going In the Eaat, the Weat, the North, tho South.
The country la preaperoua. Last month's Increase In business waa
very large. Banka may wait In their operatlona until the government
bonda are assimilated. People may pause temporarily In their outfit
ting to arrange to meet the new conditions. But th unloosing of bll
liona of dollars will unloose a flow of prosperity absolutely necessary
to sustain the, world'e burden.
Governments net the pace in their expenditures.
Indlvlduala must not lag behind. Seven bllliona of dollara to pay
la only S70 per capita In the United 8tats, Yet aeven bllliona of dol
lars, put Into work' at S per cent a fair eatimate of the producing
power of money will creat four hundred and twenty mllliona of new
wealth.
The Income tax we pay will not be a tax on proaperlty, but a apur
to prosperity. Every dollar the individual paya out will come back to
him with interest In the general proaperlty of the people.
KEEP BUSINESS GOING FOR OUR COUNTRY'S SAKE. WAR
CANNOT BE WAGED AND WON WITHOUT THE SINEWS OF WAR.
FIVE CASES ARE
BROUGHT BEFORE GOWEN
A "clean up" under the state dry law
waa made thla week, five cases being
