WASHINGTON, Nov. 6.--Why not
tax the profits OF war munitions
manufacture? This question will be
insistently asked during the coming
session Of congress. The taxation
question must be settled even before
the military preparedness program
can be logically taken up. The fail
ure of the income tax Law due to its
secrecy provisions and the fact that
most of the rich men dodge IL has
made the revenue situation even
more acute. I. has aroused talk NJ

TO The front advocates OF the tax on
unearned land values.
But nothing Is more obvious than
the logic of the proposal to tax the
huge profits which are now accruine
from the manufacture of war mate
rails The vast increase in this In
dustry Is limited at in few figures
available on our exports. For ex-
ample. Il appears from the govern
ment returns that the value OF cart
ridges exploded during August, 1914
1.-THE first month OF the European
war; was $l54,0s0. while In August,
1915, II was $2.2s4.540. The same
jump is found TO apply to gunpow-
der, other explosives and firearms.
For instance. the exports of gun
powder in August. 1914. were $751;
s21, and In August. 1915. they reach
ed the figure OF $5.29S.1Is. Other
explosives exported in August. 1914,
were valued at s2s.336. and in Aug
ust, 1915, they reached total value
tf s6.s76.046. The month before
was even larger-se. 1929 1903. In Aug
ust. 1914. the exports OF firearms
vas valued at s20s,644. BY Janu-
airy. 1915. this had jumped to 81.
156.757
Since August. 1914. we have ex-
ported cartridges 10 the total

If Unable to Live AS Citizens
Why Made to Die AS Citizens?

Germany has meted out justice, as she
sees it. to Edith Cavell in order, she says,
ito deter others who boast the preroga-
tive of their sex from participating in
such undertakings
The suffragists have no word to say
against her punishment (only about the
way it was done, if reports are right
but feel that, as women are willing and
glad to take their stand, in time of war,
as full equals of men, and live or die ac-
cordingly; and as governments are will
ing to mete out to them the full measure
of death, it would be only fair, in times of
peace, that they should be allowed the
full privilege of life.
Germany, England, France and the
United States are not able to see that
side of the picture.

htnsion on the part Of some news
papers In this country in regard TO
the purpose and extent Of this move
ment.
An investigation will show you
that at the present time fewer than

mum. This burden Il borne by the
millions Of users of letter postage

dollars every year In the distribu-

that after the Saturday Evening
Post and Ladies' Home Journal are
paid from $1,000 to $1,000 for a
single page of their advertising for
single issue that the government
should distribute these periodicals
at loss of over four million dollars
per annum, that loss to be borne by
the users OF letter postage? IL you
