of the medieval stage. In centuries
to come, when our history has been
written, our century will still be in
cluded as a part of the middle ages"
This remark especially appealed
to me in view of my studies of the
self-supporting features of the vaIf-
GUS nations, for history clearly shows
that an advance in civilization and
the interdependence of nations go
hand in hand.
During the middle ages, to which
the Boston banker referred, every
nation was self supporting and for
eign trade was INDUCED in only for
the luxuries of life. Nations we're
not dependent on other nations for
necessities, but each was sufficient
unto itself.
AS civilization advanced, nations
gradually developed, certain national
industries and exported their excess
products from other countries upon
which they finally came to be de-
pendent.
ENGLAND
England stands for commerce and
her great industry is shipping.
England is the great middleman
of Europe, performing the same ser
vice on a big scale that the commits
sion merchant in any town renders
to the farmers and retailers of the
vicinity.
Once England was self supporting,
but with the development of the
steam engine and loom, her~people

INDIAN OFFICE EMPLOYEES
UNDER CIVIL SERVICE

Muskogee Times-Democrat. An err
roneous opinion apparently prevails in
Oklahoma that with the consolidation
OF the two Indian offices at Muskogee
on September 1, there will be a whole
sale turning out of the present en-
ployes. The employees of the two Of
fices now in Muskogee are all under
the classified civil service and it is
not expected there will be any mater
ial change in the working force under
the consolidation, except in the heads
of the department. Oklahoma con
gressmen are being pestered almost to
death by requests from Oklahoma
Democrats seeking jobs in the Indian
office after September l. In the words
of the poet, there amt going to be no
jobs" at least not right away.

Must Raise Hundred Million More
Revenue Annually as ResuIt
Of War Special Address
Delivered
PROMPT ACTION IS
URGED ON CONGRESS
I'VE Must Accept the Inevitable
with Calm Judgment and Unruf-
fled Spirits" Introduce Rev
enue Bills Next Week
By United Press.

~ CAttNu Icbd.
Washington. Sept AT 1890 this
afternoon President Wilson appeared
before the joint session Of congress
and delivered his special address deal
ing with the necessity for raising addi-
tional revenues on account of the de-
ficit caused by the European war.
Without making specific recommen-
dations as to the precise form that the
additional taxation should take, the
president asked for the imposition Of
Internal revenue taxes sufficient to
raise one hundred million dollars an
nually because of the falling off in inn
ports and consequent dwindling Gus
toms duties brought about by the war.
In his address the president pointed
out that such action was necessary i'm
mediately In order to keep the treas
ury unimpaired and to place Ii beyond
ability to meet all emergencies.
Under existing conditions the presi-
dent stated that bond issue was nor
Wise. He said, I'VE ought not to bor-
row, but we ought to resort to taxa
tion, however much we may regret the
necessity of putting additional tempo
rary burdens upon the people
1t is understood that the details of
the proposed Legislation for raising the
necessary revenue have been practi-
cally agreed upon and that the bill
will be introduced in congress early
next week Oscar Underwood, the ma
jority leader in the house, stated that
the needed amount would be raised by
imposing additional internal revenue
on a very few commodities, but no.
further information as to the nature
of the bill was disclosed. 1t is not
expected that the special taxes will be
necessary for any great length of
time.
The presidents message today was
brief. Among other things he said
Il come TO you to discharge duty
which wish with all my heart might
have been spared Conditions have
arisen which no man foresaw and it
would be very unwise to postpone
dealing with them
''The country is able to pay any just
and reasonable taxes without distress.
The people are both intelligent and
patriotic. They are ready to meet the
present conditions in the right way
and to support the government with
generous self-denial
I'VE must accept the inevitable with
calm judgment and unruffled spirits :"
