seem to be unable there to think Of
anything but new taxes or the increase
Of existing taxation.
They are talking about stamp taxea
on checks. bills. contracts and other
business documents. and about increas-
ing the income tax. Yet why burden
ourselves in this way when other ways
are possible?
The credit of the United States was
never higher than now. We are at
peace: we are In no real danger OF
war; the longer the European struggle
continues the less inclined will any OF
the combatants be to acts that might
provoke US TO enter the conflict.
The United States, as the one great
ma ion in no way concerned in the war,
directly or indirectly. Will be the source
Of supplies to which all the combatants
alike must turn. And as they grow
weaker with the struggle we must grow
relatively stronger and less safe TO in
jure or affront.
Why should not our government
spread the loss of revenue forward in
stead OF loading It all upon the people
and their industries in one year? The
United States can borrow all It needs
frosa its own people. Would it not be
better 10 pay a low rate OF interest
than high taxes: proper issue is
suggested to the governmental finan-
ciers as the easiest and best way out
Of impending fiscal diniculties.-Chi-
cago Herald.

Die bus over streets that were oiled

Their condition was remarkable.
Their surface was as smooth as as

Usually, he saId, he was very much In l the rear. MT. Perkins stated that the i proposed siding would accommodate about three cars. The purpose of il | is to facilitate transportation Of mate | rial to the college site. For instace he said, sand will be transported from the Water street station. via trolley to the college grounds. thus obviating the congestion caused by a continuous 1 procession of teams. Mir. Perkins said ! if there were any questions to be asked he would be glad to answer | them.
