This is the last call the one that will wine ont our war obligations. Rotter a thou sand times that we should buy bonds thal will bring in annually a small interest to us than to have to pay dur war debts through tho medium of Increased taxes. Tho debts havo boon honestly contracted for an hon orable purpose. They must he hon orably and promptly met. If we meet them by buying tho bonds so much the better; but these dobls aro going to be mot hy taxes If neces sary. Wo can take our choleo as between the two modes of meeting them. Here are some facts that aro well worth considering, and they aro on Ibu same line as we have been writ ing above. They are, however, put into bolter shape than wo could put thu same thoughts, and we give you ?hose facts as presented by tho War Loan Organization for your earnest ( tmsidoriilion : The government of the lT ni ted . tates is your government. That gu vern moni has given its sacred word lo do certain things. These things require tho expendi ture of great sums of money. Your government must koop its word must, spend these sums of money. This money can bo secured now in two ways- either by taxation or by borrowing. Taxes are high enough, tire they not? Nevertheless, they will not pro duce enough to meet the present need. Then the only way the United Stall's can pay for peace is by bor rowing the balance needed $4,500, 0,0 ()i . All ii, hi. then your government must borrow $1,500,000,000, and since other countries have no money to lend, it must borrow this money in the rutted states, and from one or I WO sources Your government must borrow | from the banks and other financial I institutions or it must borrow from its millions nf patriotic citizens. if this money could be borrowed from the banks, would it be wiso to <lo so? With all of their capital Hod couldems owh cmfwyp shrdlu etsios up in government securities, how could the banks perform their nor na I functions ol' linanc.ing regular business enterprises and development I projects? Without being nuanced, Ibow could factories and business ope rate, bow could tho country bo de veloped. b?.w could labor he employed land how could people live? Think j .. over. Very well, then, lhere is one course I wo'i open Your ovnrnii ? must I ? : lil I . no's i- i.dmr, a bi li ty. Hence Hi /icto y-j d beriy., j >.0'ih that was launched last Monday- -the loan of Victory, Penco and Thanks giving. These are just facts, fan you see any other way out of it? We can't. The Treasury Department cannot, and aller you think it. over and con sider thal the government is asking you lo subscribe for an absolutely gilt-edged, short-term, good, inter est-bearing security, and by doing it help pay for victory and peace and prosperity, you won't lind any other way out, but will, like a true Ameri can, step up and say "Sure, we'll finish up the job! Uncle Sam can have the use of ail my money to pay for peace' I can go 'ovor the top' in the Victory-Liberty .jonn If my hoy could do it at St. Mihlel." . MK. WOLF IO IS HIGHT. Elsewhere in this issue we repro duce an article from the Columbia State, in which that paper quotes a letter written hy tho Attorney Gene ral Of South Carolina to the Attor noy General of thc United States, in reference to tho conduct of the pub lic; utility corporations by the gov ernment since these corporations were taken over hy tho government. Mr. Wolfe very pertinently obsorvos that the people of the country wore willing enough, in the interest of country in lime of war, to put up with many inconveniences and much annoyance. In fact, wo do not be lieve dial there is another people on be t o e of tho earth who would sub mit more readily than did Ibo Amer ican people io tin' vitrions Inconven ?onces, delays, deprivations that came u nh Hie Iransposition of public ser vice corporations from private own ership and operation to novormnenl control and operation.

The I menace ol' uar has past, and yel con ditions \v:th regard In tho various public utilities grow worse, and Ibo public bas no redress. We suffer I tl - j terminable delays in the delivery of freight and express shipments, wo are overcharged in weights tind rates and suffer losses by reason of lost shipments ami breakage and wo are kindly permitted to whistle for redress, and have our trouble for our pains. We may have telegrams sent to us. and if it seems convenient to deliver them they are delivered, and if no! those messages lie uround un til Homo employee chances to Bee 'tie party to whom tho message was sent, ?ind It ls handed over. Tho fad 111 it tho real purpose of the ?ender has been .defeated and that thc party io whom tho message ls directed has hoon put to needless IhcoriyviV'mce does not figure tn the equation ?it all. The one all-important consider ation was that the employees were not inconvenienced tn seeing Mint ll e delivery was made. These things came and wont inn ing tho period of actual hostilities on battlefields in Europe whore our boys wore oxposed lo the constant ini n i o of death nuder arms.
