More War Taxes 10 Only Way to Pre-

A preliminary report by the commits

inference that the war tax imposed
by the net OF Oct. %. 1914, which ex-
pires by limitation In December. will
have to be ~re-enacted next season II
a bond issue Is to be avoided. Anoth-
er Inference to be drawn from the sta
tistics furnished Is that there are In
the country about 345 persons with an
nual incomes OF more than $l00.o0o
and about forty-one whose incomes
are $1.000.O00 or more.

for which were the highest up to that
time. But $52.O 100000 OF this came
from the war tax. without which there
would have been a decrease of about
$1T. 100000. Even with the war tax
the government Is running on "A month
ly deficit of ~$15.Ov0.000. SO that with
out an unexpected increase In customs
or internal revenues or an issue Of
bonds the supply OF cash ON hand
would soon be reduced To the danger
point.
The receipts from the war tax are

Washington, Sept. 9.-Dr. Constan-
tin Theodor Dumba, ambassador OF
Austria-Hungary, 500 will cease to
represent the dual monarchy in the
United States, according to the pres
emf plans of the administration.
From an authoritative source it was
learned that President Wilson has
practically decided the fate OF DIR.
Dumba. After a careful consideration
of the fact. together with attempted
sition made by DR.. Dumba to Secre-
tary Lansing. Mr.. Wilson sees no
other course than that of putting an
end to the ambassadors official du-
ties In this country. Ii is asserted ON
high authority that his mind is made
Up.
There Is little doubt that the inten-
tion of the administration has been
influenced to some extent by com
ment which has reached Washington
from all parts of the United States
concerning the attempt of DR.. Dunn
ba to foment trouble among Austro'
factories in the United States. TWEEN.
ty-four hours ago there was some
doubt In Washington as to the senti
ment of the country. There is none
now.
Letter Tells Different Story.
Ii Is pointed out here hat DR.. Dunn
ba's statement that he was acting un.
der the orders of his government does
not III In with the text OF the letter he
sent by Archibald TO the minister oil
foreign affairs In Vienna and which
was intercepted and seized In Lon
don. What Is said to be the exact
text OF the letter has already been
cabled to the United States.
II would appear from the Dumbs
letter that the ambassador was ad
vising his government to disorganize
the munltion plants of the United
States by calling out his countrymer
now employed there and not that he
was reporting upon instructions from
Vienna.
There is a possibility that Austria
may recall DR.. Dumba before thii
country takes any action. 1t Is prac
tically certain. however. that Austris
must do so without delay because the
case is regarded as being of such ma
ture to require prompt and decisive
action.
The recall OF Dumba would leave
terms and would constitute a suffi
cient apology to the United States FOL
his actions.

The Bank Fiqht.

The old United States bank fight is
on again. That is what ii looks like
and there is nothing pleasant in the
prospect: but nevertheless it appears
to be a matter of duty, and it is very
probably coming. The outcome will be
a matter for the future.
The determination of this issue will
depend in large aSu on the one
question as to whether the masses of
the people, who always stand for the
right, will ever be able to fully com
prehend the merits Of h case. Down
underneath it all are man import
ant conditions that are all wrong, and
which the great work-a-day world
knows is all wrong: hut upon which
that great work-a-day world will be
so easily confused. that it will seem a
matter of chance whether it will take
the wrong side or the right side.
Andrew Jackson was not the first
powerful publicist to see and realize
the dangers of the old United States
bank system in both theory and prac-
tice: but up to his day. he VAS the
first president to have courage and
ability to tackle it. The struggle be-
tween Jackson and the United States
bank was terrific. and although Jack
son partially whipped the bank. he
did not complete the task because of
the her impossibility Of the thing. and
there was widespread comprehension
