The WAR TAXES.

The administration is to be com
mended for its decision TO impose
stamp taxes, similar to those Of
Spanish War times, rather than a
special tax on freight. The plans
Tor taxation, as agreed to in the
Democratic caucus, including a
stamp tax on commercial and legal
papers, and special taxes on banks.
brokerage houses, theatres and other
places of amusement-taxes which
were applied during the Spanish
WaI. Fhere wiz also. be n tax of
cents a gallon on gasoline, and
special taxes on tobacco manufac-
turers and dealers, and on domestic
wines and beer. 1t is estimated
that $i05, 100000 will be obtained
from these various sources $35.-
900, 200 from the stamp tax; So
100000 from bankers and brokers:
s4.0o0,000 from tobacco; $50. 900, :
900 from beer; 500, 900. 900 from
gasoline, and So, 900, 0sO from wines.
In reverting TO the stamp tax of
the Spanish war, the Democrats
showed their wisdom and ability TO
follow the good example set BY
another party, for il was the repub-
lican party which, in 1888, devised
the stamp tax system which worked
so well and was productive of reve-
nue.. The value of stamp tax is
that It is direct. The fallacious
theory which attracted supporters of
the proposed tax on freight was that
the cost would be distributed. Even
SO, but by this very distribution il
would he multiplied many times,
and the burdens thus much in
creased. The stamp tax ought also
TO produce results more quickly than
a freight tax, and with less expense
OF collection. The Democratic
members of Congress were divided
ON tine question and for ( time a
break between Congress and the
President seemed possible.
These special taxes will, of course,
he imposed only as long as war con-
dltiDns make them nece lsary. They
should be regarded as burdens 20 I've
borne only until the ordinary reye-
nue. of the National Government is
restored. II will be noticed that
the burden of taxation rests on to-
bacco, wines and beer-a total of
50, 00e, 600. The remaining por-
tion of the Sl05, 900, 600 total viii
he divided among various sources.
The stamp tax is the heaviest single
item. but it will be more easily
borne and more easily removed than
a tax on freight. An agreement
having been reached in Congress.
these extraordinary taxes will pro-
baby soon be imposed. -Indianap-

AMERICAN ROAD
CON cREss.

Postmaster General Burlson takes
deep interest in road Improvement
and has accepted an invitation 10
address the Fourth Annual Road
Congress, which will be in session
in Atlanta, Ca, during the, week of
November o.
The Postmaster General, CON-
menting on the subject, said:
While it is true that the public
road has always been Of fundamental
importance as local utility, il has
assumed much broader significance
within the past few years. The
rural delivery service, with its great
corps of $4,000 carriers, has done
much toward the development of
country life and this vast service is
materially affected by the condition
of the public road. The parcel
post has already justified the most
sanguine prophecies of It's original
supporters. A combination of par-
eel post and good roads cannot fail
to materially advance the prosperity
of the country dwellers and az TIE
same time promote in a very marked
degree the welfare of the city popu-
latlon. The automobile has gradu-
ated from merely pleasure vehicle
TO a recognized utility. and there
are now well over a million and a
halt automobiles and auto trucks in
the United States.
l feel therefore that the Aneri-
can Road Congress in Atlanta will
oe dealing with a subject paramount
IN its importance to the American
people and | trust that the men who
are IN a position TO forward the
movement for better roads will Mt
tend this great annual meeting. The
impression seems To be quite general
that the way to further the good
roads movement is TO get more
money and still more money appro-
priated. While we could no doub,
spend larger sums TO advantage. our
most pressing need is TO place the
administration of our present great
outlay. estimated at not less than
$205, 600, 600, on a sound business
basis. We should apply to the
management of the public roads

that is applied in the man
agement Of other business es.-
iterprises. or, in other words. We
should employ . sufficient number
OF skilled. qualified men. provide
them with necessary assistance and
equipment, place a. their disposal
sufficient funds, and hold them re-
sponsible for results. This woald
he vastly better than our present
system Of depending upon tens %
thousands of road officials whose
knowledge of read building, If il
exists at all. is incidental 10 some
other occupation.

EcoNoMY IS wArcHwoRD

ECONOMY Is WAICHW0RD
A Washington dispatch to the
Chicago Herald, by John Callan
O'Loughlin, says:
The administration is to impose
the most rigid economy upon the
Government during the next fiscal
year.
The preparation of estimates for
expenses Of the Government for
that period has begun in every de-
partment. Ii is realized that even
If the war should end during the
coming winter the exhansting effect
upon Europe win prevent an early
reimbursement industrial activity.
This means that importations will
remain at a comparatively low
figure. If the war should continue
custom receipts will fall.
Moreover. the President and his
advisers are anxious to bring about
as early as possible the repeal of tie
emergency taxes which viii be en-
acted during the next month.
Therefore, the administration
proposes to husband the resources
of the country and 20 keep expenses
down to q minimum. X X
IF the war should continue. any
thing like an accurate forecast OF
the revenue of the Government dur
ing the next fiscal year will be ex-
tremely difficult TO make. II is rec
Ognized that Europe will be forced
to buy our foodstuffs, but little else.
and. unable to buy as formerly, she
will be unable TO export to us as in
the past. This means less customs
revenue.
The Department of Commerce
has just issued review of consular
reports showing the far-reaching
effects of the war on our trade.
Great Britain bought three billions
worth of goods in 1919. The
United States furnished go per cent.
of this total.
Germany purchased two and a
half billions the same year, Is per
cent. of which came from the Unit
ed States.
Eleven per cent. of the billion
and a half dollars worth of pro-
ducts bought by France came from
the United States.
During August this country sold
$ll0, 1897, 545 worth of goods to
foreign nations. During the same
month of the preceding year it sold
products valued at $751;, 9O9, O2O.
The way our import trade has
suffered is matter of grave con-
Germ 10 the Treasury because of the
effect on revenue. For the first
eighteen days of September there
was collected at the various custom
houses $l0,s45,57s while during the
corresponding period of the last
FISCAL year there, was received sI7s
e74,974.
The customs revenue for the
present fiscal year is $22, 200, 900
less than it was during the last fis-
cal year. That is to say, there will
be easily loss of 800, 900, 600
during the present fiscal year, and
perhaps more. Officials hesitate to
think what the loss will be during
the fiscal year 1915 if the war con-
times.
Consideration of these facts
brought the President and his ad-
visers to the conclusion that the
strictest economy must be practiced.
Consequently the word has gone
down the line to cut out of the esti-
mates everything not absolutely
necessary.

IN THE COUNTRY.

If ever the season and the climate

premier state that she is has every
prospect been so magniticently full OF
promise. The country is a landscape
picture of prosperity. Such cornfie,ds
were never seen, such deep, rich
healthy green, such extraordinary
growth. Corn was tasseling in Iowa on
the 7th day of July The hay crop as
seen from the highways appears to he
equal to the corn prospect. Where the
mower goes thru the timothy t leaves
a swath heavy as An scdinarv Winrow.
The oat fields show a wealth of stalk
loaded with long heads. On the rich
est soils the burden of the filing
heads Is causing the grain TO lodge"
in spots and some Of 1t VIII have to be
cut one way" The pastures do not
show a brown spot. Everywhere the
grass grows lush and long. The trees
are foliaged heavily and the leaves Of
that deep green that makes every
grove a bower.
The summer beauty of Iowa is I'M
surpassable. And later when the yell
lowing grain fields show clear against
the surrounding green. when the shocks
grow into sierried ranks on .itler
hand and still later when the frost
touches and the cornfieds stand ready
for the harvest the country is not less
beautiful than now. And underlying
all the beauty as the eternal rock lies
beneath the world, is tie sense of SOL
idity and the certainty Of fill crins and
