WAR STAMP PLEOSES
SHOULD BE REDEEMED
The war is over, but the big ball
which America wound up to win the
war must be unwound just as slowiy
and carefully and at just as great a
cost. The money which it took to out
our boys in France and to pay ire
other vast expenses of prosecuting the
war, was not more necessary than ti e
sums it will take to bring them back
again and transfer the nation to a
peace basis.
Therefore, it was announced .’’ore
today, the campaign for the sale of
War Saving Stamps and the redem
ption of W«r Savings Stamps pled
ges will be prosecuted more vigor
ously than ever in Georgia. In this
connetion, a plan, hard business light
to the situation was pointed out
which the people of Georgia will do
well to note.
“The government right this minute
is deciding the question of whether
to raise the money it needs by tax-
ation or by trying to government
securities”, said a leade * of tne War
Savings Stamp organization today.
“The big moneyed interests of the
nation have shown that they fa\oi
the latter method by buying up every
issue of Liberty Bonds. The people
now are answering in the matter of
War Savings Stamps. The man who
buys them says, ‘I don’t want to be
taxed. I want to help pay for this
var by putting my money in gov
ernment securities, which will pay me
back dollar for dollar at a good rate
of interest.’ The man who fails to
purchase War Savings Stamps is say
ing, ’I do not like this method. I pre
fer taxation, even if it takes my sav
ings for the next seven years.’ And
as surely as the war is won, it will
take the savings of all the people in
America for the next seven years if
they vote for taxation instead of pur
chasing the splendid securities in War
Savings Stamps that are offered
them.” ♦
