MUST Be AN ISSUE
War Tax Will Not Be Forgotten
in 1916.
It's Expiration by Limitation, Before
the Election, Not Likely to Have
Much Effect-The Voters
Will Remember.

Taxes are never popular, but the
great majority of citizens of the
United States, earning under $4,000 a
year, and thus exempted from the in
come tax bore with fortitude the
woe of the minority of citizens who
were paying that tax.
Possibly it was because the income
tax fell upon rather small minority
that the political leaders in congress
have referred to it as the most popular
tax ever imposed by law. The income
tax could not figure very large in an
election. Those who are not obliged
to pay the tax are overwhelmingly in
the majority.
The war taxes, however, became a
political issue for the simple reason
that they affected everybody. In
creased payments must be made, not
merely by those who buy and sell
bonds and shares of stock, or who bor-
row money on promissory notes or sell
real estate, but by these yho do long
distance telephoning, who insure their
goods or buildings. who use perfum-
cry, brush their teeth, chew gum,
rink beer or wine or spirits, or use
tobacco.
Virtually all classes of men and
women must share the new burden of
taxation. At once the storekeepers in
some cities gave it as an excuse for in
creased prices on various articles, and
many questions were asked. A man
or a woman always regards philosoph-
ically the taxes that are imposed on a
neighbor, but when they actually en-
counter such taxation in their own ex-
penses there is a change of attitude.
1t was with an eve to the political
future that the majority party stipu-
lated that the taxes should expire by
limitation on December 81 of next year
some time before the presidential
campaign begun-but the voters have
way of remembering hardships. If
resentment grows, it will manifest it
self even after the taxes have been
withdrawn.

WAR TAX STAMPS
FOR STATE PAPERS
ONLY A FEW THINGS UNDER
STATE DEPARTMENT HELD
EXEMPT.
WHEN IN DOUBT USE STICKERS
Almost Every Official Paper Executed
for Private Individual Must
Be Stamped.
(By Denny Donovan.)


Columbus.-State officials were "up
In the air" as to the requirements of
the federal war tax, but most of them
got their toes again on terra ,firma
after listening to Collector of Revenue
Williamsons explanation of the law.
They were thoroughly convinced that
almost every official paper executed in
behalf of a private individual or cor
poration must be stamped. They also
learned that in most cases they will
have to do the licking of the stamps
but that the person or corporation
must furnish the stamps. Every vio-
lation of the law subjects the official
to a fine, which may be 500.
Applicable to all departments, every
certificate issued, other than those to
other departments of state or subdi-
visions, must bear 10-cent stamp.
Under this ruling, every certified copy
Of an official decree or order must be
stamped. If attorneys want certified
copy of decision of the supreme court
they must send 10-cent stamp for
Clerk Mexican to stick on it. Teach
ers' certificates, however, are exempt

Plenty of Good Leaders.

Republicans everywhere have been
heartened by the November election,
and there are few voters of Repub-
iican faith who do not believe the old
party will win the presidency and the
house of representatives next time.
There are plenty of good men to whom
the party can turn for leadership, not
withstanding the claims of the Demo
Gratis that the Republican organization
is without leader except Roosevelt,
The colonel has burned his bridges
behind him, and has no more chance
to be nominated by the Republicans
than the secretary of state would
have.

Move Now for Economy.

AS long as government income came
principally from the tariff and internal
revenue duties of various sorts the
citizens, who did not feel the imme-
date incidence of taxation, naturally
inclined to economy as theory and
governmental extravaganza as prac-
tice. There was constant pressure
for large and liberal treatment of all
sorts of local interests.
Today this idea that the other fel-
low pays-which is at the root of pub
lie pressure for extravagant appropria-
tions-has received serious setback.
The plain citizen is beginning, here
and there, to scent the danger of still
further troubles The downward limit
of the income tax has certainly not
been reached The possibility of en-
ergency measures becoming settled in
stitutions presents itself. M

SURELY UP TO THE PEOPLE
Picking of Their Representative in
Congress Must Be Admitted to
Be Their Business.

With good prospects of coming
back into power, the Republican party
has several millstones hung about it's
neck. The heaviest and hardest to get
rid of is Joseph Cannon, who goes
back to congress from his district in
Illinois.-Whitewat Gazette
If Mr. Cannon is really "millstone'
hung about the neck of his party, who
hung it there? Why, the majority of
the electors in his district.
Mr.. Cannon was fairly elected by
popular vote. If the people of that
district choose to be represented by
Mr.. Cannon, that is their right, and
who shall say them nay?
Our Progressive friends harp a
good deal on the Let the people rule"
principle.
Very good. Then If the Danville
people, after trying another man, have
gone back with considerable gusto to
Mr.. Cannon, why bark at them by
barking at the man of their choice and
preference?
Presumably they are the best judges
of their own business; and the picking
of man to represent them in con-
gress is emphatically their own busi
ness.
Mr.. Cannon is certainly not an ex-
pertinent. His constituents have a
very thorough knowledge, based ON
long experience, of his value as a rep
resentative. He suits them, and they
have right to be suited. Mr.. Cannon
is the product of a popular election,
and not an appointee of the Republic.
an party.
The election of such men as Pen
rose, Gallinger, Cannon, is sympto-
matte of the desire of the people to
register as emphatically as possible
their dissatisfaction with the Demo
cratic administration, and their dis
gust with the political pharisaism and
snufiing sanctimony of the Progress
sive, type of Office chaser-and there
is more plain, common, everyday polit-
ical honesty and principle in rugged
old Joe Cannon than there is in that
whole canting outfit.

Made in America.

MADE in America" is an excellent
movement.
But 1t will not be in full swing
again until after 1916, when we shall
have Republican president and con-
gress to replace our present Demo
cratic Made in Europe" tariff with a
real protective tariff to secure the
home markets for goods Made in
America" by American labor employed
at American wages.
How amusing it is to find Demo
cratic and free trade papers pointing
out how the war in Europe will, by
checking imports, stimulate American
industries to supply the home market
and operate to diversity production,
thus making the country in a high
degree industrially self-supporting
Why that, substantially. is the pro.
tectfonist argument which the free
trade wiseacres have been flouting for
years!

Important About New Roads.

An important factor in, the financing
of good roads by county bonds is dis
cussed by the authors of a bulletin of
the United States department of agri-
culture. In this bulletin the authors
point out that in eXpending money
raised by the sale of highway bonds
the highway comm 'ssioners should
distinguish carefully between the per-
manent and the perishable features of
the road. Foundations, drainage struc-
lures, alignment and grades are per-
manent features which should be look
ed upon in the light of an investment.
Local conditions determine, to great
extent the proper standards for the
permanent features of any highway.
Twenty years experience in modern
road building has shown, however,
that there is minimum which any
road built on borrowed money should
comply with.
