The Rich Mans Tax,
Saturday Evening POST


Our income tax, we believe, is a
unique thing among modern fiscal
systems. The tax on individual In
comes yielded the first year SIS. 5000, 600;
but less than s13,000,000 of this was
derived from the normal tax--that is
from the tax on incomes between
$4,000 and $4,000 and $4,000 a year.
The remaining 00.000-more
than half of the total-was derived
from the surtax on incomes above
$4,000 a year; in fact, the surtax on
incomes above 100000 year yielded
nearly $10.000,000. Persons having in
comes in excess of 100000 year paid
nearly three million and a half dol
ars of the income taxes.
These figures are surprising. Accept
ing them at their face value, we should
have a picture Of a country divided
very sharply into rich and poor. In
comes OF the $1,000, $4,000 and $4,000
classes are apparently very few. On
the other hand, anybody with an in
come tax in excess Of $4,000 a year
may fairly be classed as very rich ;
and there are so many incomes in that
class that, as whole, it yielded more
than third of the total produced by
the tax. Judged by the first years re-
suits, the income tax is decidedly tax
on the rich: but we do not believe the
returns show the true condition Of in
comes in the United States.

To Get More Dyestuffs.
New York Times.)

In order to insure themselves Of q
regular supply of dyestuffs. importers
in this city of German color and chem
ical products have interested the To-
cal agents of the Holland America
Steamship Company In a proposal that
the company operate vessel undsf
the American flag monthly between
this port and Rotterdam for the pur-
pose of bringing over shipments not
to exceed the usual amount for a CIV
en- month.
The steamship company's agents
here have met the proposition In a
sympathetic attitude and, upon re-
ceipt of approval from their home Of
fee, it is expected that they will be
able to offer the dyestuff trade regular
freightage which will fully comply
with the requirements of the German
government as at present understood
These requirements are that the guam
titles exported must not be greater
than usual amounts reaching Ameri-
ca, shipments to be made In Ameri
can bottoms, and guarantee given
against re-exportation.
1t is believed in importing circles
here that the British authorities will
raise no objections to the new plan as
it will be carried into effect along
the lines OF the specially chartered
steamer Matanzas, now en- route to
Rotterdam for cargo of dyestuffs
chemicals and sugar beet seed. a rep
resentative of the Cassella Color Com
pany said that there appears to be
but little dyestuff goods on the way
at the present time.

Then What VIII They sax7

The next national Democratic plat
form ought to be a wonder. Pity
the trials of the committee delegated
to write the resolutions. What are they
likely to say on the tariff question?
The Democratic brand Of tariff-for-
foreign -only has been dts
credited in this country and Democ-
racy knows it. The people of these
United States prefer an American
tariff for American producers and
consumers--for producers are con-
sumers.
What are they going to say about
extravaganza? The Congress just
closed was the most extravagant in
American history. and at that it has
not provided for the support Of the
government except at the close to
authorize an extra assessment OF
taxes OF sioo,oOo.ooo.
What are they going to say to the
people about encouragement Of
American shipping. when their only
act In relation thereto has been to
reverse the pledges OF 1912 and re-
peal canal tolls exemption?
What are they to say concerning
trust busting. when their only sue
cess has been in the total demoraiiza-
ton Of general business?
What excuses will they make to the
people concerning the raiding of civil
service?
How are they going to treat the
subject of reduction of high cost of
living?

Editorial Comment
The kaisers Dream.
portland Press.1

A Dutch newspaper correspondent
who succeeded in reaching the German
lines in Belgium in disguise has re-
turned to make most interesting re-
port He says that the Kaiser is con-
stantly travelling up and down the
Grman line in Flanders. seeking to
inspire his soldiers and to urge them
to renewed efforts. The Kaiser is re-
ported to sit like a craven image IN
his automobile, with extreme pallor
and rightly of features, and to dis
play his anxiety as TO the future IN
every word and action. Things have
not been going very we'll for. the Kali
ser To be sure the armies of the allies
are not making great progress In driV-
ing the Germans back into their own
country but the Germans are not able
to make any progress either. Along
front of nearly four hundred miles the
fighting continues with brief intervals
of cessation of activities with neither
side making any gains. Inc Kaiser
rushes fresh troops to the front to fill
the gaps occasioned by the terrific
losses and to replace his worn ana
shattered armies but there is limit
as to what he can do in this respect. 1t
is the policy Of the allies to wait FOR
the Germans to wear themselves out
and to exhaust their resources. Mean
while in England an immense army CT
fresh troops is being organized. France
too has fresh battaliens in reserve
which she is ready to bring to the front
at the right time. With winter coming
on to increase the hardships and les
con tba otrep 9th of the German army,
the allies have only to wait to succeed
Eventually Germany must witness the
retreat of her great army from Bel
gium back to the protection OF the
forts along her own border. AT this
stage of the war the allied nations will
require all of the force they can mus
ter for their task will indeed be
stupendous one when they come to
completely conquer and overthrow the
German army. Little wonder that the
Kaiser is worried and worn. HIS
dream of a quick conquest of France
before England could come to her AID
and an invasion OF Great Britain after
wards is shattered as was the dream
of Napoleon to become master of the
whole world. The end is not yet IN
sight. Thousands and thousands OF
men must yet be slaughtered, the toll
of human suffering must yet be in
creased many fold, the agony must be
prolonged for many months but event.
ually there will be an end and the
proud War Lord will witness the trail
ing of the imperial standards in the
dust and his cohorts scattered and fly
ing like chaff before the wind

1t has long been noted that as soon
as an invention of any kind which is a
menace appears, a counter invention
appears. If some more impregnable
device for fortress Is discovered. at
once heavier means of assault is
found. Greater battleships are con-
fronted by heavier guns, and In this
war the heavy guns of Germans have
wrecked permanent Notifications, while
there is rumor of still heavier guns
that will render dreadnaughts Of no
account. So the horrors Of the Yep
pelin dirigibles seem now to have en-
countered an invention that will put
them out of action and end their ap-
parently irresistible bomb dropping.
1t is an American invention, that OF

troyer Of air craft, said to be farther
reaching than any bomb-dropping de-
vice OF aerial gun invented. 1t bears
the same relation that the torpedo
destroyer does to navy. An aero
plane can not carry the amount OF
explosive that a dirigible can, but 1t
is faster and the Steinmetz device is
to destroy dirigibies as well as slower
aeroplanes, for it is to be mounted on
the swiftest of planes. 1t is a bomb

OF a spider, become attached and the
explosion follows. The apparatus is

Babies and PIGS.

A prominent physician. address,
ing an audience in an Episcopal
church in a large city the other day
on the comparative treatment of pigs
and babies by the United States Gov
eminent, said: The pig is raised
wholly for its food -supplying value;
the child is a drain upon the food
supply. The baby is a material cost;
the pig is a material asset. The gov
eminent that has been generous in the
interests of one has been most penuri-
Gus in the interest of the other. The
Department Of Agriculture at Wash
ington, which has given much atten-
ton to the raising OF swine, was or
ganized soon after Che war. The
child-saving department Of the gov
eminent is Just now being established.
Thousands upon thousands Of babies
in this city today are subjected to con-
ditions to which no thrifty self
respecting farmer would subject his
pigs" 1t is the imperative duty Of
our government to care for the health,
life. education and morals Of the chill
dren of the nation. But no pater-
naism of the government can be made
substitute for the care by parents
in the home, on which the body, mind,
soul and destiny of the child de-
pend. and which will very largely de-
termine the virtue and prosperity Of
the nation. Mother. father, the church
and a good government ought to share

such is the kingdom of God. mark

Are We Being Tested?

Conservative, moderate moving old
Augusta, always responding to this and
that, with heart in the right place,
has awakened far in the rear of many
cities which early saw the necessity
OF going to Europe's aid. Only prompt
indeed rush service, can reach the
side of the half naked, starving, home
less millions in the European war zone
before Old Boreas adds to their misery.
A movement is on foot in Augusta
a meeting at Library Hail. Tuesday
eyening--to organize effective Red
Cross relief service. 1t should evoke
the interest of all. 1t is not the mil
iionaire or the business men alone to
whom appeal is made, but TO the
hunbiest day laborer, the boy and the
girl. Had you thought that little
group of nickels might bring unutter-
able Joy to a mothers heart by saving
her child from starvation? Do you
realize the good that little pair OF
mittens might do?
Let US look at the situation in Bel
GUM as compared with our own happy
country. There a country is in ruins;
its people are homeless, in flight to
other lands or numbly awaiting the
final disaster A New York Sun writer
says millions of her people are home
less or shivering in the remnants OF
their homes, without work. without
food, without clothing for the winter
drawing near. This desolation OF
state, this beggary of people, this
wide mournful range of misfortune Is
spread before the eyes of the American
people, soon to keep public festival Of
their properties, their merciful ex-
emption from the disasters that darken
SO much of the world. On Thanksgiy-
ing day, on this day, on every day. and
most of all in this sad time, 1t Is not
with patting of comfortable stomach
and Pharisaical appreciation of our Is
olation from the sharp sufferings of
others that we can thank and remem-
Der God Let the old text rise up in
the memory from forgotten youthful
Sundays, from the dimmed clean sane
tuaries of childhood:
For | was an hungered. and We gave
me meat; | was thirsty. and We gave me
drink; | was stranger and we took me
In.
Naked, and we clothed me; was sick,
and We visited me; | was in prison, and
We came unto me.
We may Indignantly ask: why are
they killing each other?" But we can
not escape the eternal pity of it all.
God only knows who really started It,,
or why, OF how it will end, but every
humble citizen of intelligence and
heart knows his duty when he sees
freezing and starvation threatening
his brother man. If God has a pur-
pose in this awful display in Europe.
it seems that it must be to discover
how far Goodness has entered the
heart of the richest and happiest
Christian people.
