WANT irfONEV PRINT IT
Senator Ladd’s amendment to the McCumber bonus
bill meets the problem of how to find the immediate cash
by providing that it be printed This is a Simple and prac-
tical suggestion The government possesses printing
presses and paper in unlimited quantities If money is all
that is needed nothing stands in the way of running off
§2000000000 or §1000000000 direct thereby saving all
this manipulation of banks reserves and credit facilities!
Specifically Mr Ladd desires to manufacture and baud
out to veterans throughout the country the sum of §2500-
000000 in currency lie argue that the issue would not
“cause inflation of credits because no new debts will be
created to get-it into circulation among tbe people” He
says nothing about inflation of the currency but points
out that the notes being redeemable in gold would circu-
late at par Whatever par was by the time his paper bil-
lions had been absorbed The United States lias gote
through a gdd 1eal of grief lately trying to squeeze war-
time values down to pi'e-war normalcy Mr Ladd invites ns
to go through it all again ’
In Russia it is the current practice as Mr Ladd may
have heard to print rubles whenever the government is
short of cash And 'the rate of exchange on rubles marks
roughly the difference between that system and sound
finance ‘ "J 1 '
i J KILLING THE KILLERS
jf ' The government is kept nearly as busy killing off the
f animals that are a menace to man's interests as it is pro-
tecting those which are his friends In the fiscal year of
1921 the total number of predatory animals killed was
27037j 'classified as follows: 128 mountain lions 549 ‘
wolves 89 bears 2468 bobcats and lynx 24258 coyotes
It is estimated that one wolf or mountain lion de-
f tstroys about §1000 worth of livestock each coyote and bob-
cat §50 worth and each stock-killing bear §500 worth
t “These are' the average figures though there are many in-
i dividual instance where they have been greatly exceeded
In spite of man's campaign waged against them both
private and official the beasts of prey persist and the coyote
I is even widening his range The official campaign has been
1 in progress for six years and has resulted in great good
The government enlists in this more energetic assistance
than in its preservation progress Those who would pre-
i serve the harmless birds and animals which man’s thought-
lessness lias well-nigh exterminated can give in most in-
i' stances only passive co-operation but the settlers who suf-
fer from the depredations of wild beasts are actively con-
cerned in helping the government in its task
’ Knowledge of conditions is an aid to both of these ben-
! ffiejal functions of government bureaus The more that is
i known generally concerning the differentiations between the
good and the harmful the more widespread will be co-op-f
eration “ ‘ ' " " ' '
f “WAIT A MINUTE” WASTES
Business 'men and telephone managers in Philadelphia
have had a heart-to-heart talk on Certain practices of tele-
phone users which might be corrected to the advantage of
v everybody Of the objectionable telephone customers noue
came in for trior? emphatic condemnation than the“wait-a-
minute” habit This begins with A telling somebody in his
'-office to get B on the wire Then this dialogue ensues:
“B— Hello
“Operator — Is this Mr B?
'f J “B— Yes
Is' ‘‘Operator — Pleas wait a minute Mr A wishes to
£ speak vith you” '
Then when A gets around to it perhaps in a more or
less leisurely way — B meanwhile losing his own time while
A suits his own personal convenience — there comes an-
1 other “Hello!” and a couple of “Is that you's?" and at
last the communication -
It was agreed by both telephone users and telephone
f company managers that this practice involves a tolerated
f inconsideratedness on the part of A in asking H to waste
1 his time while A saves his 6wn Second there is a need-
less squander of time at both ends in the exchange of
“hello” and “is that you?” This might be eliminated if A
were ready to talk Hie moment B answer and opened the
conversation with “A speaking" instead of the commonly
used and conventional phrases of identification i
- A representative of tho telephone industry produced
f some startling statistics His company he said handled
10000000 telephone calls a day By cutting out the
' f'hellos” at least one second of time would h? saved on each
' call - On 10000000 daily calls this would be equal to one
i man’s working time for 1000 days or well over three years
" If one second were saved on each of Philadelphia's 100-
000 daily calls it would be equivalent of one man's
v time for a mouth New York City his 4900000 telephone
calls a lay at this rate if a second were saved on each of
them the total would amount practically to the working
j time of six men for a month
