Americans Who Paid

When thousands of Americans were
stranded in London last August,
there was considerable hesitancy as
to how their financial needs should
be relieved.
1t was an extraordinary situation
that called for extraordinary meas
ures. 1t was recognized to be more
or less risky business. only justified
by altogether exceptional circum-
stances, when the United States gov
ernment and banks and other private
agencies undertook to help these
Americans abroad out Of their troub-
les and provide them with the nee
essary funds.
AS it turned out, of the Americans
who received assistance in one way
and another during this period of fin
ancial stress. all except one have set.

one has explained his delay. Every
dollar Of the s265,000 advanced, ex-
cept $3.50 has been promptly repaid.
In such an emergency there were
bound to be vast opportunities for
fraud and abuses of confidence. The
American Committee took chances
that the ordinary business man would
not consider for a moment in ordi-
nary conditions.
AS Chairman Hoover of the Amer
lean Committee says, "It makes one
keenly proud to be an American"

Prosperity Coming

The Old Nationals monthly letter on
on the conditions Of American busi-
ness, although conservative and hold.
ing out no reasons for extreme opti.
mism, marks a distinct change for
the better since its latest preceding
bulletin. In this respect it is in full
accord with other observers the
country over.
Since October l increased orders
for home consumption in the textile
trade, the metal trades and heavy
manufacturing in general, the open
ing, equipment or conversion of fac
tories for making goods previously
bought in Europe; the receipt of
heavy orders for supplies from the
belligerent nations have SO reduced
the number of the unemployed that
the bank deems it safe to assume
that not more than a fourth of the
labor usually employed in lines of
heavy manufacturing is idle, with
good prospects of the number being
decreased daily
In foreign commerce imports last
October were s14O,OOO,000, or $1,000
900 more than in October of 1913.
which seems TO show that European
countries still sell to the United
States anything that Americans want.
The October exports were s195 5,000,-
900, gain of S39,000,000 over the
September exports. The October bal
ance OF trade in favor of the Unit
ed States was $4,000, 900. This i'm
provement in foreign commerce con-
tinued through November and ap-
pears bound to keep on increasing.
The Old National, speaking of fail
ures in business during October, re-
marks that more Of the failures ap-
pear to have been due to want of
money than to lack of business. Sup
posing this to be the fact, the in
crease in volume of the circulating
medium that the opening of the fed
eral reserve banks will bring about
will also lessen failures in business
materially,
The November disbursements of in
terest and dividends were only $13,-
100000 less than in November Of
1918. The dividends stood virtually
the same for each November, a re-
markable circumstance in present
conditions, and demonstrative that
stable corporations have weathered
the financial crisis of 1914
Trade barriers are falling constant
ly. Things are rapidly righting them
selves.

THE AMERICAN FARMER.

There are certain public speak
ers who delight in telling US that
the American farmer Is soil
robber. that he does not try to
conserve the fertility Of the soil.
but after all has been said there
is no class Of people on the face
Of the earth who are interested
in tilling the soil that nre the gu
periOr Of the men right here In
this United States. says Kim.
balls Dairy Farmer. Now the
American farmer Is facing a new
situation because Of the tremen-
dous demand that u to be made
upon him in the next few months
or years. He will be called upon
to feed the nations Of the old
world. and. while this represents
Q very handsome profit. 1t repre-
seDts a moral obligation as well
that he will be slow to overlook.
Few people are working for
their health. yet there are few
people who are 50 depraved that
they will not see the significance
Of this wonderful demand that
will be made. The hands that
are reaching out from across the
sea begging for food. begging for
those things that will keep life
in the body and will protect from
the cold and the ravages Of
hunger, will appeal to the best
principles Of American rural cit
izenship. The whole thing Gen.
ters around the great brother
hood OF man. and. while strife
may be keen, while the f1ght for
wealth may occupy much Of our
time. still underlying 1t all there
is this higher and nobler impulse
which invariably comes to light
when there is a special call made
upon 1t.
The optimism Of the American
farmer Is supreme; 1t is his op-
} timism that makes the American
farm home the greatest Of its
} kind. 1t makes the American
farming country the most beau
} tiful on earth.

To secure the best results ground

England accepts it's crushing bur-

times taxing a glass of beer a cent

government that attempted to insti-

led Arthur Henderson, leader of the
laborites in the commons, to propose
that labor's wage be taxed as sub.
stitute for taxation of labor's sugar

That War Tax
Editor Herald:

Editor Herald:
l find it impossible to pick up
republican paper without finding
something written to convey the i'm.
preston that the present war tax is
in some way due to the democratic
tariff law, or democratic incompe-
tence. Editorials. news items and
cartoons are printed ad libtum to dis
seminate this false impression, and
am writing to ask you to republish
the leading editorial that appeared in
the Herald OF November II, which.
to my mind, shows the utter absurd
ity of the republican claim.
Yours very truly.
OLD SUBSCRIBER.
Elma, Wash, Dec. 6, 1914.
The editorial referred to is repro.
duced below:
That War Tax
1t is an off day in the editorial
rooms of the Aberdeen World when
an article Is not written that sacri.
fees truth to the exigence of party
politics. The latest follows:
"The war tax is not a war tax.
1t is a direct tax to make up the
deficit in governmental expenses
incurred by the extravaganza of
the national Democratic admins
tration. There is no avoidance Of
this statement Of the fact when
1t Is recalled that the appropria.
tions of the present Democratic
Congress exceed the appropria-
tions of the last Republican Con-
gress by approximately $100,00,-
600, and when it is further re-
membered that the war tax is
designed to raise about s105 5,000,-
900. The Democratic party does
not know how to govern, how
ever praiseworthy its theories of
government may be. 1t has al
ways shown its incapacity. The
present administration is no eX.
ception. 1t is entitled to the
highest praise not for prosperity,
but because it has so far man
aged to prevent panic"
This falsehood was worked to a
frazzle during the campaign, owing
to the utter absence of an issue on
the part of the republican party, and
should be decently inferred. If there
is solitary line of truth in the fore
going item it is beyond the ken of
human vision.
The tax is war tax. The Demo.
