HARDING ASKS AID OF
SOLONS TO CUT LOSSES
(Continued from Page One)
task became very apparent to nie and
had its reflex in the delay in the final
election of the shipping board.
“It is no easy thing to bring ca
pable men to the solution of this
task. Chairman I.asker is making a
very heavy sacrifice to gtve his t'ma
and talents to this most difficult
work. He has beet able to brief;
many disinterested idvisers to his as-
sistance but it is impossible for the
board in creating its.various depart-
ment* to establish *;u**h er^-ani/a* ens
by the ordinary method* of govern-
ment appointment and compensa-
tion.
"Many of the men called to service
have been obliged to completely sac
rifice their private interest* and in
some cases the sacrifice is made with
the knowledge that the period of em-
ployment with the government is only
temporary. Under these conditions
and because of the fact that hun-
dreds of millions are involved it is
unavoidable that some compensation
in responsible places are much be
yond the ordinary run o’ government
compensation.
“There are approximately £200-
000000 in dr mis a *a;rt»t «h>? shij
ping hoard. No business man would
venture upon the settlement of there
claims without h'ghty capable legal
representation. Tne staged-ng losy-
•es in operation can only he cured by
a board of operator.! whose memberr
know something concerning tin busi
ness. These men could not be secur-
ed without living up private pur-
suits which are vastly more profitable
than the average administration sal-
ary under the government ami Chair-
man Lasker has proceeded with my
hearty approval in the aeoiurement
of mm equal to this task. If their
knowledge of the business will enable
us to put an end to operating losses
as we .very much hope to do their
acquirement for government service
will be justified a hun<b*ed fold.
“Thti error heretofore committed
seems to have been the employment
of incapable men at excessive salaries
while the present program calls for
capability and the compensation is
vastly less than in private pursuits.
1 have been at some pains to assure
myself that there is no over payments
in selecting men for specific places
and I believe I can assure you this
over-payment has been avoided in re-
cent appointments.
I do not venture to make promises
for the shipping board. I would like
the congress to know we are speed-
ily arranging the discontinuance of
idari i! lines of service whuii are be-
frtgi lierated at a lop to ti^e govern-
rrnenrrand we are hoping aoAn'to^iV*
an end tc$ (d) the unfortunate-chart* r
contracts under which the govern-
ment bears the brunt of the losses.
This is a .vgry intolerable arrange-
ment and is being ended as speedily
s the situation will p**rnnt.
“It must be kept in mind at all
times that the administration agentr
who are now asking for the confi
'Jwnce and cooperation of congress
are in no wise responsible for the
condition of affairs which have
i-hocked the country and given the
•ongress much concern. They have
only r *cently been called to the ser-
vice of correcting the intolerabV
state of affairs which we inherited

With Home Town Buying
You LIVE here. Yon make use of the public benefits of this city. Then help PAY
for them—and make it possible to increase -municipal improvements.
You can’t do it by sending your dollars out of town. Every cent you fend away
to mail* order concerns represents so much dead loss to the community — and no
gain whatever to YOU oji goods purchased.
‘Your dealer sells standard goods of the highest quality and sells them at honest
prices. Merchandise of greater merit can not be had for any amount of money —
and certainly not for less money. You can inspect 1he goods BEFORE purchasing —
a big advantage over mail order buying. You can SEE what you are g.-tting. You
can buy in small quantities if you wish or you can purchase in large lots and ob-
.ain price concessions granted bulk buyers. The goods you buy are deliv *re I with-
in a few minutes after purchase is made—RIGHT INTO YOUR OWN HOME and
FREE of delivery costs.
If you are not satisfied with purchases—or desire to exchange goods fur any reason
whatever—you may do so quickly and conveniently.
These are a few of the buying advantages to be had RIGHT HERE AT HOME .ha*
CAN NOT be offered by anv mail order concern in creation. You benefit your-
self—then YOU BENEFIT THE DEALER
You enable him to continue in business. Bv giving him bigger business you enable
him to give YOU BETTER BARGAINS.
The profit he makes—a LEGITIMATE ONE—is SI ENT RIGHT HERE AT
HOME. Some of it is turned over to other dealers. Some of it goes for-
rent. Some cf it for clerk’s sa’aries. Some of it for taxes. It assists in building
up the entire town. It helps advance property values. It contributes to the bet
icrment of schools—which your children or your neighbor’s children attend. It
hcl|»s put down actual sidewalks- and put up better public buildings.* It pays you
actual dividends in development of the town—YOUR town.
It makes the town in which you live a better town for vou to live IN. It invites out-
siders to settle here. It booms prosperity—and YOU share in that prosperity.
B it your plain duty—tc yjurtelf—your family—your friend*
—your town—to spend vour dollar* with local dealer*. Do it.

i after which it is very much hoped j
j they may make a gratifying progress
l toward the firm establishment of an
American merchant marine.
“We must not fai} in our effort*
i now. There have been unspeakable
losses and unutterable wasts. These
things must be charged to the great
! war emergency and the feverishness |
of the country to build ships in a i
j period of great anxiety and to then
i establish a merchant marine on the j
I basis of the abnormal conditions j
; which prevailed during the wyr emer- j
i gene*-.
"We have time to think soberly
now and the correction of this situ
ation is a matter of firm resolution
and capable hands have undertaken
Vhe work. The waste can be halted
almost instantly. The losses must be
brought to a minimum at a very early
day and I very much hope that the
cooperation of the congress and the
administration v/HI lead to gratifying
results in the establishment of Amer-
ican carriers by sea which will meet
i.ur aspirations in founding a new
and ample American merchant ma-
rine.
“We cannot allow the discouraging
things which have gone before to pre-
vent us facing the situation frankly
and I think it wholly consistent to re-
solve that the solution of this task
is not an impossible thing to Ameri-
can genius and tenacity.”
