ONE THING TO REMBMBER.
If you are going to take that vaca
tion this summer why not take It
right?
Remember to look over the list of
bllla you owe and PAY up before you
begin to play. You may help aome one
who hue helped you during the year

vacation on money that really belongs

Bottle up before you start out.
HIGH COST OF HIGH SALARIES.
It is far ea»l<»r to point to tho nils
t'hlef flip Democrat* art- doing t»y
iholr wall meant erforta to break up
ihe unholy alliance between buxine**
and Koverninent than to neck for
Tuoro plnualble and true causes for
buxlnras dullness and lack of confi
dence. Mr. Mellon, in bln testimony
baa ring upon the New York Ai New
Haven looting, said that exorbitant
salaries are paid to the executive of
ficers of raliroada so that they will
ba aubiarvtent to their financial mas
ters on the directorate*, "who make
profits through their control of the
railroad and outside business.".
The people throughout this country
gauerally fail to realize the utter
waste and gapping of resources due
to the payuieut of digprot>ortionate
and unearned HSlarieg This fancy
salary custom pervades almost In
ovary line of Industry and business
Too often Its real purpose Is bribery
and hush money; but even when this
it not tha cate, the legitimate profits
of stock conn antes are eaten up by
the payment of salaries out of all pro
part ion. to reasonable expectations
of yearly profit*.
It was found when the life insur
ance scandal was revealed that the
money, which should have gone to the
policyholders was diverted for the
benefit of high finance, as operated
by the board of directors and the
boards of director* met with no oh
etructlon from the greatly overpaid
officer* of the companies. The fancy
t-alary It on the fare of It s waste and
it Is generally a suspicious clrcum
stance, because It Is given for some
thing else than the officer's work for
the organization The president and
high officers of any company should
ba willing to take their chances along
with the stockholders and vary their
salaries with the profits and loase*
Of tha coriwratlon* they manage \\v
mean, of course, that a fair minimum
salary should be secured to every
truly valuable man, but no manager
or high officer in a company should
ba entitled to a princely living,
whether the attain of his ootnpany
languish or progress, while the stock
holder* take the ups and dawns of
the business, many of which are due
to errors of judgment and other mis
takes In the management. A revis
ion of salaried figureheads would do
as much to bring down the high cost
of living as the reform of the tariff
laws.
Hut this Is something business will
do for itoelf as soon us it fully grasps
that the day of government aid la
over.

THE WA YS OF THRIFT
Copyright, 1914, American Society for Thrift. h
COMPULSORY THRIFT A SUCCESS.
"We regard thrift ns close to the basis of domestic felicity,” said
Judge Arthur J. l.ucy of the Domestic Relations C’ourt of Detroit, Michigan,
In a letler to the president of the American Society for Thrift, Simon W.
Hlraus. a Chicago banker, lie added:
"The prime motive controlling tills court Is to restore families to
normal conditions wherever possible. We aim to handle the situation by
controlling the tlnanees before arrest by voluntary arrangements. The
husband, in order to avoid arrest, Is willing voluntarily to plaee him
self under the advisory supervision of the court. He arranges to pay a
certain amount of his wages into court; a portion Is restored to him and a
portion paid to the wife. Where we consider It desirable, he Is required to
render an account of all bis expenditures and hIH wife so do likewise.
When she comes for her second allowance she must render an Itemized
statement of everything slio has expended out of the first allowance. She
is willing to do this, because she wants support for herself and her chil
dren.
"The result of the family accounting department is wonderful, and it
is exceedingly popular with the husbands as well as the wives. The
money passing through this department now amounts to about $1,200 a
week. It checks intemperance, extravagance, improvidence and encour
ages thrift, economy and business methods. We educate wives in buying.
By a sliding scale of graduated allowance, dependent on conduct, we arc
able, In a measure, lo control the conduct of the wives and Interfering rela
tives. The better they uct. the more they get. As Boon as the families are
gotten on a sound financial basis, which wdll enable them to do so, we
encourage the making of small savings deposits.”
In this letter Judge Uary went on to show that, mainly through the.se
wise method, of handling the income and teaching thrift in its expenditure,
over nine hundred families were reconciled and adjusted by the court, and
over HO per cent, remained permanent.
The rendition seen by Judge Lacy was made the subject of resolutions
and. at the request of the Society feiation deplores the fact that the
thins, as follows:
"Resolved, That the —• Associations deplores the fact that the
precept, of thrift are not taught In the public schools and are given scant
consideration In the institutions of higher learning, and it is the sense
of this body that greater emphusis should lie laid upon the thrift of indi
viduals, greater attention tie paid to stimulating thrift, and that wo urge,
co far as practical, that those in chnrge of educational institutions give
greater attention to this important matter, and that all public officials and
all Individuals of public prominence be urged to emphasize In speeches, as
occasion offers, the need for a greater awakening to the Importance of in
dividual thrift ns a means, successfully and certainly to cope with the cost
of living and other problems both moral and economic.”
Other organizations might well take similar action.

will make It Impossible to manipu
late* the machinery by which these
dlfferencee are determined.
"Authority is given the secretary
of agriculture to establish and pro
mulgate standards of cotton by which
Its quality and value may he Judged,

official standard of grades.

within the provisions of the bill to
keep such records snd statements' of
accounts s* will fully and correctly
disclose all transactions made upon

changes from this country to foreign
countries.
