WHY IMPOSE A WAR TAX,

The plan Of the administration to
offset its failure to keep up the ex-
pense Of running the government by
imposing a burdensome war tax on
the people, especially when the coun-
try is at peace with all the world,
has reused widespread opposition.
"In the first place, there is no need
for additional taxation" said Minor
ity Leader Mann, on the floor OF the
house of representatives. IF the par
ty in power would exercise economy
| in expenditures-reason and nat
ural economy such as an ordinary
business man would enforce in his
own affairs or judicious housekeep.
er would apply, no citizen need be
taxed another dollar.
But even with the reckless ex
penditure of public money by the
present congress, there is a better
wav to meet the deficit than by levy
| ing direct taxes. OF course, no one
expects the administration to adopt
the republican course of seeking rev
enue from such imports as will come
| in, Notwithstanding the war restric
ii ms, and therefore it is useless for q
/ republican to offer advice

Industrial development for the past
three years has been slow. Factories
worth having have not indicated very
much desire to change locations The
condition just now on account OF the
war is worse than 1t was two or three
years ago. But with the ending OF
the war every indication points to q
rapid development of industrial prog
ress in this country. No place In
the United States is better prepared
to give industries boost than keo-
kuk, where power is available all the
time and where transportation IA
cilities are ample. There is nothing
to do but get ready for this coming
development. When the opportun-
tiles come, as they will. Keokuk
should be ready to take advantage
of them. The time to prepare is now.
There is no cause for pessimism. Con-
ditions have prevailed, not only for
Keokuk but for the entire country,
which defeated efforts to locate fac
tories. If you do not believe 1t think
how many factories have located
within nearby cities since the power
development? This city has &C
complished much with its Industrial
association and is sure to get results
when commercial conditions reach
that point where II is possible to get
results.

verses. Again, the United States will
feel this war less than any other CIV
ilized nation il the world. To a
large extent this country is self-con-
tanned, and is less depenednt upon
foreign trade than any other country
at present involved in war. Our for
eign commerce, it Is true, has re-
ceived shock; but the disturbance
has not been as serious as expected;
and though our August exports
showed heavy losses the later foreign
commerce returns indicate that we
are rapidly returning to more normal
conditions. The losses in our e1-
ports were very largely the result OF
a temporarily demoralized foreign ex-
change market, and with an inn
provement in financial conditions ex-
ports are steadily increasing The to

York last week were $4,000 900,

That in some sections OF Iowa the
use Of lime will help the soil is the
fact disclosed by an extensive soil
survey made by the Iowa agricultural
experiment station and published in a
new bulletin just issued. The soil In
many areas of the eastern half OF the
state is very apt to be acid, that OF
the north central is only occasionally
in need of lime, and that of the west
ern part of the state is very rarely In
an acid condition. The bulletin was
issued In answer to many letters OF
inquiry regarding the advisability OF
adding lime to the soil. The success
which has followed its use in the
eastern states has led many farmers
to believe that II was sure cure for
all evils This interesting statement
is made in the bulletin: 1T must be
emphasized here that all Iowa soils
do not need lime also that lime is not

The suffrage plank is as follows:
The large majority of teachers are

the right OF suffrage In most States,
therefore the funds from which their
