"PAY YOUR BILLS"
TODAY'S SLOGAN
IN THRIFT DRIVE
"Good Pay" Customers Should
. Help Make Other Fellows
j Pay, Says Campaign .
; Committee-
Today is the last of the Thrift
campaign but not the last of thrift
4 in Omaha. "Pay Your Bills" is the
slogan today for the entire country.
; While the dav is named "Pay
Your Bills,", those behind the na
tional campaign now wish they had
.named it "(ictitsed to paying your
bills." The thrift committee is not
so much interested in seeing an in
dividual bill paid as in seeing that
the practice of paying bills regularly
is formed. ...
Somebody Has To Pay.
"Somebody has to pay the biil"
the thrift committee says, "It is
always the customer. The "good
pay" customers have to make up for
those who do not pay their accounts.
The "good pay" customers should
see to it that the other fellows pay
their own bills."
Today all the bills owing to the
merchants of Omaha are being
scrutinired. Some of these accounts
were made only last month and may
have been overlooked by accident
Others may 'have been on the books
for years. Regardless of their age,
the accounts are being looked into
very closely today by the credit men
of the city. v
' Taking advautage of the "Pay
Your Bills" day, the Associated Re
tailers of Omaha have issued a broad
invitation to every man and woman
,in the city to call at the office they
maintain in the Brandeis building
and inspeect the elaborate system by
which they keep check on accounts.
The lesson sought to be taught
by the thrift campaign committee
is not to hoard money but to spend
; it wisely. The lesson Sought to be
taught on ''Pay Your Bills" day is
important to all men and women
for the reason that unless prompt
and regular payment1 of bills be-
cpmes the custom of men and
' women everywhere, those who fail
to adopt this custom will find it
absolutely impossible to obtain
' credit; and credit is the most valu
' able possession of any man, rich
or poor; the possession of good
credit is the road leading to the
possession of things worth while.
"Pay Your Bills" day should be
on a certain date of each month,
the day of the month decided upon
t-L , 'vcC advance, and then have an 'under-
standing with all creditors that on
that day kills will be piid.
.. A ood credit rating is an asset
' and credit ratings are won accord
ing to the way in which obligations
are met, the thrift committee would
teaclh Failure to pay bills, ties up

Banks Give 'Budget Books."
Yesterday "Family Budget" day of
, National Thrift week, and all banks,
trust companies and building and
loan associations in Omaha gave
away "budget books" to all who
risked for them. Ten thousand of
thest books were purchased by these
financial institutions for nse of Oma
ha people.

NEW ULTIMATUM
i
Committee of Senators An
nounces Decision to Fight
Compromise on Lodge
Reservations. x .
(Continued From Face One.)
among "its bitterest foes," one of
these present declared tonight that
they count on support oJE 38 votes,
or enough to prevent ratification if
their protest against modifying the
Lodge reservations is not, heeded.
Except for brief .statements from
Senators Lodge and Johnson and
a lengthy statement" from Senator
Sherman, few of thevsenators partici
pating in the conference would talk
for publication. Mr. Lodge said the
senators who called him to the meet
ing represented 'a large group of
senators who want po change in the
Lodge reservations. Senator John
son declared that the Lodge reser
vations were said by Mr. Lodge to
be "the irreducible minimum."
Others in the meeting stated pri
vately that the question of a treaty
compromise on republican "solidar
ity and leadership in the senate and
in the country" was discussed.
Bolt Is Threatened.
"Were there any threats to bolt
the republican leadership or the
party? was asked of one of the re
publican cqnferees. -
"I would rather not answer that
question, came a hesitant reply.
"Party solidarity is threatened; that
is all I care to say."
Senator Johnson was asked re
garding reports widely circulated in
senate lobby gossip that declarations
had been made cf a third party
movement and a "bolt" from repub
lican leadership if the Lodge reser
vations are modified, and the Cali
fornia senator replied: "Poppycock;
I haven't such a thought."
Senator Lodge said the meeting
was to give information to senators
present regarding the compromise
negotiations with the democratic
committee.
"They represent a large body of
senators who want no change in the
Lodge reservations'," said Mr. Lodge

as he smilingly crowded his way
through newspaper correspondents
waiting outside the conference room.
To the suggestion that all of those
present except himself and Senator
New are identified with the treaty's
foes, Mr. Ledge answered:
"We must present the question to
all sides. That was understood in
undertaking the negotiations with
the democrats. We republicans, in
meeting the democratic leaders, rep
resent nobody but ourselves. Any
thing we do is tentative and must be
referred to senators,- Those present
today wanted to know what we had
done." . ,
Beyond this Senator Lodge de
clined to comment other than to
state that another bipartisan meet
ing of the leaders' committees would
be held tomorrow. Other senators
in today's council, however, stated
that -no textual draft9 of proposed
compromise reservations were ton-
sidered.
Opposed to Compromise.
The principal protest of the eight
senators to Mr. Lodge and Mr. New,
it was stated, was against holding
finv rnmnrnmise necotiations what
ever With; the democrats, and, sec
ondly, against any change in me
Lodge reservations. This view was
Mtiin.ri .'n ?nitnr Tnhnson's state
ment after the conference broke up.
"After months of debate and de
liberation," said Senator Johnson,
"the senate agreed to a set of reser
vations which represent a compro
mise. It wasadmitted by everybody
that these reservations, called the
Lodge reservations, were the very
limit that should be done for the
protection of America. In the lan
guage of Senator Lodge, they con
stituted 'the irreducible minimum.
Personally, I am unable to see how
there can be any compromise upon
the least possible protection to
American or European reservations
which are 'the irreducible minimum'
in safeguarding American institu
tions. To me there can be do com
promise with American , honor or
American protection."
