WORKING AND SAVING
WILL REDUCE PRICES
Oevemor of Federal Reserve Board
Tells How Living Expenses May Be
Cut Down.?Why Everything Went
Up.
* _
What Is the best way to reduce the
high cost living?
"Work sad save" is the answer given
by the Federal Reserve Board in a
latter written by Its governor, W. P.
O. Herding, to the Banking Commit
^ : tee of the United States senate. The
committee had nnder consideration the
proposal to reduce the volume of
money In circulation. Governor Harding
opposes this plan, holding that It
will not afford the relief expected.
"The Federal Reserve Board believes"
says Governor Harding in his
letter, "that any currency legislation
at this time is unnecessary and undesirable,
and would suggest that whether
viewed from an economic or financial
standpoint, the remedy for the
present situation is the same, namely,
to work and to save; to work regularly
and efficiently in order to produce
and distribute the* largest possible
volume of commodities, and to exercise
reasonable economies in order
that money, goods and services may
he devoted primarily to the liquidation
of debt and to the satisfaction to
the demand fbr necessities, rather
thea to indulgence in extrttvagances
or the gratification of the desire for
luxuries."
During the last two years there has
undoubtedly taken place a certain
amount of credit expansion, Govsrnor
Harding ihowa, and this in tba clr amstaacM
connected with tha flnanetng
of tha war was inevitable. But it
will ba eorractad as tha sacuritlas
taauad by the government tor war
purpoeea are gradually absorbed by laves
tor*. This expansion of credit is
equal to tha difference, Governor
Harding says, between tba total war
? expenditures of the government and
the total amounts raised by the government
through the medium of taxation
and from the sale of its bonds
and other obligations so far as thsw
. ware paid for out of the savings of
the people. He does not believe that
aay reliable estimate of this difference
ean be made, bnt he is positive
that whatever it is, it will be grad
sally absorbed through future savings
for the reason that backs are lending
and may always be expected to lend
freely on the government bonds deposited
as collateral.
The principal cause of price advances
just before and during the period
of the war was the need of the
governments of the allied nations for
all kinds of commodities and for immediate
delivery in large volume, and
the "competition of this buying by
governments with purchases by private
individuals who failed to contract
their expenditures at a rate commensurate.with
the growing expenditures
of these governments."
One of the features of the post-war
period, through which the nation is
now passing and which has been
marked by rising prices. Is the general
relaxation of war-time practice of
persona] economy. This has resulted
In an increased dem.ind for food and
clothing and other commodities by
many persons who during the wax
practiced a more or less "rigid economy
in their personal purchases, ^lso,
It must be borne in mind that they
are not only buying at market prices
but are buying in competition witn
the export demand. In addition., largely
increased wages and incomes during
the test five years have developed
a demand for many commodities which
Are not of real necessity. This naturally
has diverted labor and raw and
manufactured materials from essentials
to aon essentials, contributing no
mall pert to tha tread of inereaAtng
eats.

TELLS HOW OTHER
PEOPLE GET AHEAD
Pamphlet Issued by U. . Treasury
Answers Question "Mow Cam 1
Save Money."
As an answer to the question, "How
Can I Sere Money?" the Barings Division
of the Treasury Department has
compiled an interesting and helpful
pamphlet entitled "How Other l'eopie
Get Ahead."
For individuals and families whose
incomes are less than $5,000 a year
this pamphlet offers a number of enlightening
suggeetions as to the disbursement
of incomes of various
amounts from $15 a week upward. Not
only does the material furnish a ready
answer to the problem of expenses,
but it affords an authentic source of
Information as to living costs. Tha
figures wars compiled from records ot
official government investigations into
the several subjects and may be regarded
as np to date and accurate.
This material makes possible s
new attack in the movement to make
thrift a national characteristic and to
foster the habit of "Save First?Spend
Afterward." It will interest people in
saving more money by showing them
how much other people find it possible
to save and also by showing them how
they can cut down the cost of living
comparing their costs with average
coats at the same inoome.
The Savings Division suggests that
an excellent way to drive home the
truths of the budget system Is to have
the schedules discussed at school and
taken home by the children for consideration
by the families. Another
method is to organise a house-to-house
canvass through committees of women
who will bring the budgets to
the attention of families and secure
their agreement to stndy their oarn
situation.
Saving and spending budgets have
been prepared to meet local conditions
at a number of points, and much
Interest in the application of the budgets
to the campaign is being manl
feated la sections or tne country
where the National Thrift Campaign
is being oarried out successfully.
LEPERS SET SPLENDID
EXAMPLE IN SAVINGS
Colony of Unfortunates in Fsrawa)
Hawaii Buys War Savings Stamps
At $62 Per Capita.
Recent reports from Honolulu contain
an interesting and unusual lesson
in thrift which may be considered
a record for the states to attempt.
Sales of War Savings and Thrift
Stamps among thn inmates of the Penikese
Island Leper Colony during July
amounted to $62 pet capita. Altogether
32 purchasers of these securities
took a total of $1.?84 of stamps.
When it is considered that this
1 ? J- #??. * h "J n th? HPT r?T?i
amouui is iai iuuic bMW
ta quota for the United States it is
apparent that the optimism of these
lepers, despite their station in life, is
little less than remarkable.
Up to date the t?;tal sales of War
Savings and Thrift Stamps in Hawaii
is more than $2,020,000, or more thaa
"$20,060 in excess of its quota.."
The faith that moves mountains it
the faith that gets a steam shovel instead
of an old hoe. Labor saving la
; what you want. It means money aav!
ing, too, for War Savings Stamps.
