A fair guess would be that eight out of every ten have ideas—some vague; others definite— of one day setting up business for themselves. There is an irresistible lure about a business, great or small, that is one’s own. Many well-established industries of today have resulted from just such visions, coupled with the means to make them real. There is no surer aid to realization than the ready money with which to close the bargain. It has been demonstrated in lives al! about us that a growing Savings Account makes oppor- tunity where the spender finds none. SAVINGS DEPARTMENT Saturday Evenings ws Ir E hy creased laundry prices in Seattle, if » We take inte account the enormous increase in the coat of production for the past four years. The only thing used in Seattle laundries that has not raised in price is water, while sup plies, equipment and repairs have ad vanced from 100 to 300 per cent Wages for women six years seu while today they range from $16.50 to $27 per week, and I am sure Seat. Ue does not want them lew. In cities | of the Middle West, laundry service costs 10 per cent more, while wages |are 25 per cent leas than in Seattle today, No, doctor; the laundries are not “mangling” Seattle, but, to the con. trary, are being “mangled,” and I trust I will be pardoned for the use of this term, since there are no “man gles” in Seattle laundries, M. A. GRIFFIN, 709 Harrison St. | ranged from $4 to $12 per week. The Trouble With | Our Money Editor The Star: Congress, representing all the peo- ple of all the states, may enact such laws as it deems for the best interest |f. of the people, providing the act pro posed is authorized by the constitu tion. States may provide by enactment anything not prohibited by the con- stitution, The constitution expressty author izem congress to coin money ulate tts value. It forbids thy to make anything legal tender o: gold and silver coins of the United |]! States. During the War of the Rebellion congress issued treasury notes and! made them legul tender. There is| $346,681,016 of thie money still in circulation. These current notes| saved in taxation the full amount put in cireulation. There was a com pelling need for the money. Had that amount been borrowed of the| banks of others at 4 per cent, the! government would have paid in inter. | eat for the amount now outstanding $762,698,200, which sum would have been raised in extra taxes, Congress | acted wisely. The wily financiers of New York and other large cities talked our rep- resentatives in congress into enact ing the national banking law, which changed the methods This act Authorized the iswue of bank notes to and thru the bankas, instead of to the federal treasury. Now the govern. ment is compelled to raise all its funds by taxation, Up to the year 1920 the currency issued to the banks and now out- standing amounts to $3,949,081,500. | ‘Thia sum exceeded the paid-in cap- | ital of the banks more than tbree/|}, times over. So the people, thru thei) act of congress, have become part-| ners with the banks in supplying | capital on the basis of three to one ‘The partne: joes not secure for share of the profits, Matter of justice they should receive three-fourths of the! profits after all legitimate expenses have been paid, I may have to write a letter on bank expenses and explain a further partnership interest the people have with the banks which will leave to banks less than one dollar in ten of the banks’ operating funds; ten by | the people to one by the bankas, and the banks get for one-tenth interest all the profits. ® Suppose the government was to furnish cash *te each state, city, county, school district, mine, mill, factory, ratiroad, each farmer and citizen, three-fourths of the capital | needed in their business, without any charge for interest, all these munici-| palities and enterprises would feel much favored and fairly equipped for an even race with the bankas, Of course, ali this would seem im- Poasible. I do not advive it, but 1 do ask that all should be equal be- fore the law, no special favors to! the por ns. The issuing of currency is @ public utility, and belongs to all 8 or other profit-making cor-|]/ the people for the public good, not to be granted to favorites. Here is a proposition, and T think it reasonable, good and sound: For federal reserve notes and bank notes substitute treasury notes only, cur- rent for all purposes, issued direct to the treasury of the United States, Instead of going three-to-one with the banks, and no interest or share of the profits, congress should pro. vide a loan bureau, and go 50-60 with every citizen who would use every dollar in the building and equipment of a home, the government to have seturity on the home so built with insurance, at not to exceed 5 per cent interest, on 30 years’ time, This would provide an increasing fund When not all needed for home build. | ing, it could be appropriated for any other necessity of the government- reclamation, highways, waterways, soldiers’ bonuses or public buildings. A change of this, sort would quick ly relieve the problem of unemploy ment and the problem of house shortage. Long time toans at low rates would quickly start every enterprise and business, also development of the logged-off lands in several states. The couhtry close to Seattle would soon settle up with home builders. They would furnish vegetables, fruit, poultry and dairy products for the peeple In the city. I talked with a man only a few days ago who said he borrowed money at 2 per cent to build houses in England, A near neighbor who came from Denmark says the people get money there to build homes at 4 per cent. I am proud of the privilege of being a citizen of the United States, and consider it the best country in the world, with the best form of gov- ernment, but there is a grand chance Jack Dempsey Fined * HE sketch suggest a ‘few of the smart styles in this timely pur- chase—~and there are dozens of others, just as attractive, in overblouse and regulation styles.
