WAR MONEY WILL BE RAISED IN
= LOTS OF WAYS-PUBLIC PAYS
BV Gibson Gardner,

by GllSon Gardner
Washington, D. c., April 25.-The
cost of war with Mexico, if war is
necessary, will be levied on the users
of beer, tobacco, drugs and on COM
mercial transactions represented by
checks, drafts, stock transfers and
similar dealings.
This is the usual method of financ-
ing a war. 1t was employed in the
Spanish-American war. The beer tax
was increased nearly one-third, and
the result was smaller glasses of beer.
The tobacco tax was increased in
about the same proportion, and the
tobacco trust took it out of the pub
lie by decreasing the sizes of the
packages, allowing the price for
standard makes to remain the same.
The commonest tax, the one noted
in commercial transactions, is that on
checks. Everybody paying by check
had to have two-cent stamp on the
check, and in course of time the
checks books were issued with the
stamps printed on the checks. and a
charge was made for the book to
cover the international revenue tax.
The stock exchange transfer was
theoretically aimed at rich people
transferring valuable properties in
stocks. 1t was successfully evaded
by all large firms like Morgan & Co.
by various tricks, such as making no
official record of stocks bought and
sold on the stock exchange. All the
nominal sales by margin of such
stocks escaped the war tax.
The beer and tobacco tax was cas-
lily transferred to the consumers of
these articles, and even the tax on
checks was handed down to the peo-
pie who pay the bills. In other words,

producing public rather than upon
the possessors of accumulated
wealth.
At present revenues are scant and
a deficit is piling up in the treasury.
The first step in financing a real war
would be the issue of bonds.
These are the source of profit to
big financiers and to large banking
firms floating them, but the real cost,
which is the interest payments and
the repayment of principal, comes out
of the consumers of the country
through future taxation to take care
of such interest and principal.
The income tax, now made thor
oughly constitutional, affords an ex-
cellent opportunity for financing the
Mexican war. During the civil war
large amount of money was raised by
an income tax, no question then be-
ing raised as to its constitutionality.
A sharply graduated increase in the
income tax could very easily be ar
ranged by brief amendment to the
present income-tax law. The admins
tration of such a measure. would be
simple, since the returns are in and
the government knows who must pay
income taxes.
1t would be necessary only to send
a notice to those who have paid that
their bills will be a certain percentage
higher, according to the graduated
increase which might be made by
congressional amendment.
An Inheritance tax could very cas-
lily be added by Congress, and this
would be an even more certain way
of tapping accumulated wealth rather
than levying the burden of war on the
poor producer and consumer:
The cost of war depends entirely
on circumstances. If the war is short
and quickly terminated a hundred
million would do to start with, and
the cost would pile up from this, with

STOCK HOGS IN WINTER.
scant Feeding Mistaken and Costly
Idea Of Economy.

Scant Feeding Mistaken and Costly
Idea of Economy.
The stock hog is an easy victim Of
disease in certain cases. He is gener,
ally "roughed" through the winter.
He doesn't receive balanced ration
in many cases. 1t often happens that
the stock hogs owner wants to get the
animal through the winter at small ex-
pense. The owner intends to wait UNI
til spring before doing any systematic
feeding.
This is a grave mistake. The feed
given the stock hog need not be as ex-
pensive as the feed given the hog in
the fattening corral. but a ration which
will supply the proper kind of nourish-
ment should be given. 4 ration which
will promote good growth can be form
ed by combining corn. oilmeal, shorts,
bran, alfalfa hay and tankage., When
oilmeal is fed tankage can be dis
pensed with. When alfalfa hay is fed
bran can be dispensed with. The al
falfa hay will take the place of bran;
the oilmeal will act as conditioner
the same az tankage. While tankage
contains about twice as much protein
as oilmeal tankage contains 80 per
cent protein. and olmear contains 81
per cent. oilmeal contains per cent
fat and per cent fiber. Oilmeal is a
very desirable feed for roughing hogs
through the winter. When oilmeal is
fed regularly the stock hog does not
have a rough. unthrifty appearance
when spring comes. He will be sleek
and smooth even If he Is not fat
The mill feed should be given the
stock hog in the form of i slop. Shorts
should be given in the proportion of
about twice as much shorts as oil
meal Oilmea! can be mixed with wa
ter alone. but it is rather Shiny unless
some other mill feed, such as shorts. is
mixed with it. OF course some men
will prefer to give their hogs dry feed
IN this case oilmeal. corn chop. shorts,
etc, can he mixed together aud fed in
a feeder.
Corn alone is not !, good feed for
growing hogs. The animals require Il
feed which will make good bone.
When a stock hog develops a heavy
frame it is in shape to take on fat rap
idly This kind Of hog returns the
largest profits to it's owner. The al
fa'fa hay can be given to the hogs in
Il small rack. The Stats on this rack
should be rather close together so the
animals will not pull out large amounts
Of the hay and tramp it into he mud.

! TRAINING DRAFT COLTS.
Youngsters Should Be Broken Early to
Use Of Halter,


There is a pretty we'll rooted ide;,
among those who IA Use colts that some
advantage lies in allowing colts to run
without handling until time to nut
them to regular work. such a system
insuring a more perfectly broken
work horse. saving time and generally
being more satisfactory No doubt
familiarity breeds contempt in the
horse as well as in the man. and the
horse that is made pet surely often
turns out q bad actor and unworthy
Of the attention he receives. Is there
not medium road to travel in This
colt training. especially when draft
colts are under consideration? It is
certainly foolish to waste time train
ing colts that would be as well or
without good deal of the handling.
At the beginning. however, we may
be sure that halter handling from
very tender age is essential 1t is one
thing that colt never seems to learn
well after he has become large and
strong. and q horse that does not step
up promptly to sthe halter and that
does not firmly believe that his con
nection with the man at the other end
of the halter is absolutely unbreaka-
bic is surely, more or less nuisance
for his full life. and that generally
means for, twenty years or more-a
long time to contend with any nui-
Sance. Il

AS to the advisability of further
training of the draft colt before he is

doubt. Our drafters take naturally to
work in harness. some actually STEP

true and energetic workers But per-
haps this requires unusual ability and
patience. which it is extremely doubt
full if more than Il small minority of

question of extended early training of
draft colts is debatable. Perhaps in
