War Tax a Safeguard.
AID war SUFFERERS,
ROssville Physician Suggests Worthy
Movement for Americans.

DIR. S. c. Ellis, a prominent citizen
of Rossville. in a communication ad-
dressed to the State Journal, suggests
a most excellent plan by which Amer
European sufferers caused by the war.
Doctor Ellis plan, if carried out,
would render aid to sufferers Of all
countries alike. He suggests that
German-American citizens organize
clubs and send food and clothing to
German sufferers; that English, Irish,
Scotch and Welsh do likewise toward
other nationalities pursue the same
course. Doctor Ellis letter is in full
as follows:
Rossville. Kan, Sept. 1.
Editor State Journal: Since the ter
rible war in Europe is leaving SO many
widows. orphans and dependent peo-
pie without the necessities of life, I
have thought it would be a good
thing if the citizens Of the different
nationalities in this country would or
ganfze societies to purchase food.
clothing and other necessities, and
raise funds for these sufferers.
German-American citizens could
send commodities to Germany; the
English, Irish and Welsh to England,
the Russians to the hungry of their
country; the French to France, and
SO on.
Many poor and destitute widows,
orphans and old people could be kept
from starving at a very small expense
to the donors. Even medicinal sup
plies could be sent in the same way.
We Americans have plenty-and to
spare,=and it would not hurt us to
send something to suffering and starv-
ing humanity across the water.
hope ph:lanthropists and citizens
in general will Immediately take up
some such movement as this.
Respectfully.

FLEET OF AIRSHIPS.
Americans Saw SO Zeppelins and 100
Planes in Berlin.

London, Sept. 3.-Two American oil
engineers who have reached London
from Rumania via Budapest and Ber-
lin bring some interesting stories of
the scenes they witnessed on their trip.
Breslau and in fact the whole of
Silesia, they said. was heavily mined
and they also witnessed great aerial
activity in Germany. Food was ex-
tremely cheap in Berlin they said and
all restaurant. even the best, had
largely reduced their tariff. Business
was proceeding as usual though recruit
ing stations in Inter den Linden had
hundreds of E:en waiting to be taken
into the army.
They visited the flying stations and
estimated that over fifty Zeppelins
were in readiness to start at any time.
There were also a hundred or more
aeroplanes there and there was i'm
mense activity in constructing new
craft and training men. Scores of
aeroplanes were seen in the air at one
time by them each carrying a learner.
From the general conversation they
heard while in Germany they gathered
that there would be a combined at
tack by the naval fleets at an auspi-
ciOuS moment.

Meeting Tonight.

The Democratic young men Of
Shawnee county have issued a call for
meeting to be held at o'clock to-
night in the Throop hotel for the pur-
pose of organizing Young Mems
Democratic club for Shawnee county
which will probably be the first of a
series of similar organizations to be
extended over the entire state. 1t is
planned to make the present organiza-
ton principally of first voters and men
under thirty years or SO although the
age limit will not be closely defined.
ION account of the increase in
Democratic strength in Kansas in the
past two years the state organization
is putting forth unusual efforts to
solidify the organization of voters of
all ages and it is expected that the
proposed club of young voters will
prove one Of the most effective instru-
ments for getting results in the pres
ent campaign" said F. E. Whitney,
chairman of the county central COM
mlttee today. THE intention is to
create a permanent organization in
which the principles OF Democracy
will be clearly understood and which
can go into this and future cam
paigns in an effective way. We are
pinning lot of faith upon the young
men Of the party because we know
what they can and will do when
property united"

ITO RAISE revenue
President Wilson Will Ask Con-

Washington, Sept. 3.-President
Wilson will appear before joint ses-
sion of congress tomorrow at 1880

to raise $1OO,OO0,0O0 annually. This
announcement was made today fol-
lowing a visit of Democratic Leader
Underwood to the White House. In
his message the president will not ad-
wise means of raising the money.
President Wilson was at work to-
day on the message in which he will
outline the need for c special internal
revenue tax to meet the decrease in
ference OF trade with Europe. Con-
gressional leaders have studied the
problem for several days and proba-
bly, a tax bill will be ready for sub
mission soon after the reading the
message. About $1O0.000.O0O in war
revenue will have to be raised.
No agreement has yet been reached
by Democrats of the house ways and
means committee over features to be
covered in the bill. There have been
many suggestions. however, for the
imposition of special levy on beer,

road and amusement tickets, soft
drinks. patent medicine, gasoline and
other commodities of that nature.

at present has ample revenue with
which to meet all needs and that this
extraordinary legislation must be con-
sidered in the light of a safeguard.

creased S11,O0O,O0O according to a
treasury department announcement
today. Total receipts for that month
were $19.431.363.

War Tax Safeguard.
Washington, Sept. 3.lThe president
finished his address and showed it to-
day to Mr.. Underwood. Mr.. Wilson
believes the war tax is necessary to
keep the treasury in a strong condi-
ton and make it unnecessary to call in
funds advanced to banks. He will ask
congress to provide for obtaining the
500, 100000 in a way which will be
felt least by the people.
