TAX ON COPPER.

Engineering and Mining JournaD
Congress-, in projecting a new rev.
enue measure, proposes to put a tax
on munitions of war, supposedly on
the theory that their manufacture Is
highly profitable and therefore can
able OF being taxed roundly. on the
same theory any highly profitable
branch or manufacture might be sin
gied out for special taxation. In the
present case copper is included with
munitions Of war. 1t is a munition of
war, but to. a larger extent 1t is an
article of domestic consumption for
purposes. Boots and blan-
lsets are munitions of war in the same
sense as copper. If the copper miner
Is to be taxed, why not the wooden
manufacturer?
We need more money for some pur-
poses, especially military prepared
less. Let IL be raised by taxation as
I must be. but let the taxation be
quail. Also the new taxation would
ot have to be so heavy If the public
river-and -harbor and other
ork barrels could be eliminated.

MERCHANT SUBMARINE.
(Goodwin's Weekly

Still Captain Koenig gives n lands
man creeping feeling. To go to sea
IN craft that when a storm is awak-
ened that calls up all the anger of the
great deep, or when a hostile ship APP
pears, can settle down into the calm of
the lower deep until the danger passes
and then rise up from the deep and re-
sumo its voyage, is a wonder, and
when the voyage is heightened into
thousands Of miles with storms and
enemies everywhere, and finally to
bring a rich cargo safe to port, the
wonder is increased. Steady nerves
are needed for a feat of that kind;
steady nerves, patience supreme, cour-
age that never falters and devotion to
duty that makes no note of obstacles.
And what Of the future? Is 1t to be
In the air for passenger travel and
under the surface of the sea for
freight?
1t all goes back to the unmeasured
power OF man when inspired to per-
FORM some great work and to the pro-
mise, that the earth and all that Is
therein shall be under his dominion.
"hen he shall become great enough TO
'ubdue. to mount and ride the mighty
orces which God uses when He creates

Would cause grief and sorrow. and

IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE
WHOSE OK is BEING GoRED.

1t has not been many months since
the papers We're full of protests from
pro- German Americans. against the
shipment of war munitions and other
supplies to the allies. The fact that
the United States was just as willing
to sell to Germany as to her enemies,
and was only prevented from doing
so because 1t was impossible to de-
liver the goods, made no difference to
German sympathizers in this coun-.
try. They insisted, as. did the Ger
man government ALSO that by permit
ting this traffic the United States was
violating its neutrality and was there
by directly aiding the enemies of Ger,
many.
But these protests suddenly ceased
when a strange craft flying the Ger
man flag sailed up Chesapeake bay
ana tied up to a dock at Baltimore
and the master announced that he
was here for the purpose OF taking on
a cargo of rubber and nickel, two
commodities badly needed in Ger
many The ship was a submarine
merchantmen, built for the purpose of
running the British blockade and
carrying American goods to Germany
1t was remarkable achievement, one
that has commanded the admiration
OF the world. But suppose the Unit
ed States government should sudden
ly change its policy as it has fire.
quently done during the present .ad-
ministration, and announce that the
shipment of contraband goods to the
belligerent nations Is a violation of
neutrality and must cease. What |
would our pro- German friends say to I
that? Would they uphold the gov

months ago? The protests have sud
ienly ceased since the arrival of the
