Seattle Municipal News VOL. XIX.—No. 4 SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, JANUARY 2 6, 1929 FIVE CENTS PER COPY The Savings Institution and Community Economics By Raymond R. Frazier Recently, Mr. Henry Ford got into the newspapers all over America with advice to young men—not to save their money—but to spend it in fitting themselves for bigger and better work, to the end that by spending their earnings they might become so wealthy that they would not need to think about saving at all—just like Mr. Ford, Mr. Edison and one or two other of Mr. Ford's intimate friends whom he mentioned in his interview. There is no doubt but that the men and women who achieve the greatest financial success in life are the greatest students in their particular line of activity. It is clear that Mr. Ford has the idea which is common with most successful men that "A Little Knowledge is a Dangerous Thing," and that the best way to succeed is to know your subject, and the best way for young people to know their subject is to spend their earnings for tuition fees and good books.

The model municipal budget law is a companion to the model bond law which was promulgated by the League in February, 1927. The law is drafted, the committee reports, "in the hope that state legislatures will find it completely suggestive as to the elements of a sound and adequate budgetary procedure." It definitely recognizes and provides for three phases of the budget—the preparation, adoption and execution. Features of Law The chief features of the model law are: 1. All undertakings and financial transactions of every local government shall be included in the budget for the fiscal year. 2.

Here is an interesting program in store for you. Bring your wives to this meeting. They have as great an interest as you have in this topic which so greatly affects your children.
