FOR WAR REVENUE.
Republicans Are Active I'm Raising
Funds for Defense of the
Nation.

With characteristic promptness and
thoroughness the house committee on
ways and means, led by Congressman
Dingley, has prepared a bill for the
raising of revenue for war purposes.
In the committees Statement in con-
nection with the report it is wisely said
that the war should be prosecuted with
vigor, for that means quick end and
an ultimate saving in expenditures. For
speedy work the sinevs of war are
needed.
In two weeks the $50, 00O, 900 appropri-
ated for national defense will have
been disposed of, as oItracts covering
that amount will then have been made.
The expenses of preparation have been
at the rate of S300.0000O per annum,
and actual war will cost much more.
The proposed bill has wisely chosen
the articles upon which the burden
shall be laid so as to rest with least
weight upon the necessities of the
country. The bill will go through the
house with the businesslike speed OF
which such a measure is worthy. 1t Is
to be hoped that the senate will not de-
lay things while all the financial va
garies of wkich the public ear has be-
come tired have new airing.
