WAR AND WARS BURDEN

When you come to study the IL
nancial features Of the war in the
far east aud try to imagine your
self in the other fellows place you
can get only an idea OF the burden
No wonder the people Of Russia
are crying Enough
Taxes are high or low. according
10 the ability of the people who ar
taxed to pay. A slight burden in
times Of prosperity becomes a mill
stone when times are hard.
The ability to pay in both Russia
and Japan is small. The great mass
of the people are comparatively poor,
and in Russia the pheasant class i
desperately poverty stricken.
Money shot away is money lost.
The expenses Of the two nations for
a years war will not run much under
$l.OO0,OuOOpO.
They are floating loans as fast a.
the financial world can assimilatr
them, for more money 70 carry on
the war. Japan is paying Is per cont.
and selling her bonds at figure that
makes the interest charge on the ma
ton approximately per cent per
aunum.
Russia is not doing any better.
Money doesn't grow on bushes in
either Of these countries. Bonds sell
only where there is ample security
back Of them. The security is the
taXes-or in other words. the people.
So when vou read of JaDam's $751;
UuO,WO loan, hoated in England and
the United States. and Russia's s2JJ.-
OOO,ouU, secured in Berlin. and cvu-
pie that with other loans, and think
Of the years and years that those
burdens will rest on the homes and
farmers and lives Of the plain people.
who have small ability t, pay, YOU
may realize that even victory for
Japan is almost defeat. and that de-
feat for Russia becomes disaster for
a nation.
Meanwhile there Is small hope Of
peace, but the prospect that the
burden Of the poor Will grow and
the future Of generations yet ua5oru
will be sui further mortga-cd.
War does not pay. Its always d
story Of loss, not Of gain.
