A WAR TAX IN PEACE.

The President invests his request
TOR additional revenue of $1OO,OOO,-
900" with such deliberate solemnity
rs largely to disarm criticism OF the
project as n measure of relief, how.
yer much men may hereafter differ
as to the details of his proposed war
FAX in time of national peace. Therc
seems to be no other way out tnat
will not aggravate a financial situa'
ion already full Of embarrassments.
How serious this is, and the menace
which hangs over the capacity OF the
federal treasury to meet every de-
mand without delay or peradVen-
tire" may be estimated from the
Presidents suggestion that the new
sources Of revenue to be chosen shall
be such as will begin to yield at
once and yield with certain con-
slant flow" It is further to De
hoped that these sources will be gen.
orally distributed; that New York,
Pennsylvania, Massachusetts,. Ohio
and Illinois will not be selected as
rich field for exploitation: and that
the classification of subjects will not
be so narrow as to give offense. This
| tax is laid upon us, as the President
clearly explains, as duty of patriot
ism. to fit an occasion not of our
making and to pay bill we have not
incurred. Then let the levy be made
patriotically and not sectionally nor
seIfishly.
The President might have invited
n larger sympathy for this var tax
which Is certain to be severely criti-
cizcd and bitterly resented, whether
| it he just or motif he had asked
Congress to do what his fellow coun,
trymcn OF all kinds are compelled tc
do on account of the war and vii

this extra $10O.0OO,OO0 a year they
are forced to pay. That Is. to ap'
ply the rule of economy. 1t cannot
be questioned that, IL the admins
tration and Congress were so mind
ed, they could scale many millions
from government expenditures in
1.-The next twelve-month. But there
Is nary a hint in the address Of yes
terday on this point. Yet only two
years ago Mr.. Wilson was asking for
votes on a platform which said:
We denounce the profligate
waste Of the money wrung from

which BELTS democratic gov

number of useless offices, the

Up to the present the Democratic
party has done nothing to carry out
this plank. 1t imposed an income
lax last year and now proposes a
stamp tax. 1t has not returned to
economy. 1t has increased the num-

NEW PHASE OF THE DEBT CASE

During the past six months the
case Of Virginia vs.. West Virginia,
involving nobody knows how many
millions, has taken a turn decidedly
favorable to West Virginia; and
where, five years ago, all was gloom
in our contemplation Of the situa-
ton. there is now a feeling OF optim-
ism and the almost certainty that.
whatever may be the final outcome,
West Virginia will be mulcted In no
snch fearsome figures as were indi-
Gated in the original finding of the
United States supreme court.
On yesterday, before Master Lit
tlefield, at Richmond, West VirS
ginia's counsel introduced Offset
claims, apparently equitable and well!
substantiated. sufficient in quantity,
10 wipe out all basis Of Indebtedness,
making, in fact, Virginia the debtor
and West Virginia the creditor.
The supreme courts tentative find
ing placed West Virginia's indebted
ness to the Mother State at 1885,
A15, with staggering interest posi-
hilities. Under the new offset con-
tention set up by West Virginia
counsel this state is entitled to cred1
its of $S,O61,214. Upon this basis
Of settlement, Virginia would be In
debted to West Virginia in the sum
or $224,799-a much more agreeable
and cheerful prospect than that hith-
arto held up for our contemplation.
1t is still too early to wax enthu-
3iastic in celebration of victory. but
It is in order to reflect that by intel
ligent aggressive management the
case for West Virginia has been
snatched from seeming disaster, and.
as it now appears, the state is in
fair way to get justice-a thing that
vas not foreshadowed in the finding
If 1911.
The presentation Of West Vir-
sinia's offset claims does not decide
the case in our favor, but that we
have succeeded in having the case
reopencd and the claims formally In.
troduccd means something. That
there is Just basis for the granting
