The Additional Revenue Bill.

Mr.. Average American finds it hard to
syrnpathize with the munitions makers in their
protest against the additional revenue bill and
the increased taxation which it puts upon their
industry.
The public has heard so much of the millions
the manufacturers OF munitions have rolled up
since the outbreak OF the European war that
there seems to be a general impression that
those who have profted by these stupcndous
orders can we'll afford to pay more than a pro-
portionate share of the extraordinary expenses
Of the government
There is however, line OF dcmarkation
between what constitutes sympathy and what
constitutes plain justice and the general public
will find by perusal Of the bill that some Of
its provisions will hit the pocketbook Of the
ordinary citizen, hence he may find some merit
in the protest of the wealthy
Turning to the bill we find that stock and
bond brokers will pay an annual tax of $50;
pawnbrokcrs, annual tax of $50; ship brokers',
S2o customhouse brokers, $50.
Moving picture theaters arc assessed from
$40 to $50, according to the population OF the
community where they are located. Theaters
in large cities asked to contribute one-half
OF per. cent of their total gross receipts from
admissions.
Circuses pay $780, bowling and billiard alleys
$500 for each table or alley in operation,
manufacturers of cigars, tobacco and cigarettes
pay increased taxes and the mbiber of intoxi-
cants will find that the increased cost of his
liquor is to meet the provisions Of the addi-
tional tax
The munitions makers pay the heaviest toll
but traced right down, it will be found that
every American home will contribute something,
for the moving picture show, smoking material,
circuses, bowling billiards and the like are things
that have come to mean not luxuries but ordi-
nary economical pleasures for the ordinary
American working and the members of
his family.
The Underwood tariff has failed to supply
necessary revenues under conditions that have
made the country temporarily prosperous. We
may congratulate ourselves that it was not put
into effect with the industrial world in normal
condition
This additional revenue tax is one remedy
for replcnishing a depleted Treasury and find
ing the funds to meet the extraordinary exigen-
cies which the preparation of the army and
navy have brought about
Before the protest of the munitions makers
IS cast aside as not worthy Of much considera-
ton, let the wage-earner study and see how
much this new tax is going to extract from his
own purse.

Real Preparedness.

In one of the addresses made in the spring
by Col Roosevelt he said that it is as important
that there be industrial, commercial and imam
cial preparedness adequate military and naval
preparation for defense in case OF emergency.
The Washington Herald observes that there
really appears to be much greater energy and
more accurate foresight with respect to indus
trial, commercial and financial preparedness than
for military and naval conditions which Col.
Roosevelt and others believe we should attain
First of all, there are unprecedented move
ments Of gold from across the to the United
States. The amount already imported is so
great that there begins to be embarrassment
about proper receptacles for it. There are intl-
nations that within the next twelve months
$500, ,ooo, 900 more of gold may come. The Fed
eral Reserve Board and the American bankers
look upon this immense store of gold as most
effective factor of preparedness Other nations
may, after the war is ended, try to secure a
good part of it by of flooding the eoun-
try with imports. But preparedness is we'll in
hand and the best authorities agree that the
United States, if preparation is what it should
be, will be able to match imports by exports.
Another feature of preparedness is to be
discovered in the appeal made to Con-
gress to permit merchants and manufacturers
who engaged in the export trade exclusively
to enter into combinations and trade agree
ments. Should Congress permit this to be done
then the American exporters will be all the
better fortified to maintain the competitive trade
struggle in the world markets which is sure to
begin soon after the European war ends.
Another feature OF the preparedness campaign
now under way is the organization of corpora
ton with $5oooo,ooo of capital whose pur-
pose is to facilitate American command OF for
eign markets not only by providing adequate
steamship service, but also by advancing funds
to other nations. This organization is of
the strongest financially and in the ability of its
managers of any in the United States. Its theory
is that trade follows the loan, and it is known
that the organization has in mind operations of
magnitude which will serve as great factor in
industrial and commercial preparedness.
Another organization has been perfected re-
Gently with like object in view The Federal
Reserve Board at Washington and the American
bankers a whole are acting in perfect CO.
operation with intent to secure financial pre-
paredness sufficiently strong to enable us to meet
any emergencies that may arise.
The industrial leaders of the United States
are studying world markets and some of the
bankers have established and are hereafter also
to establish branch banks in various countries,
some in South America some in Russia and some
in the Far East. Whatever may be the prog
ress OF military preparedness there is no doubt
that the American leaders in finance, commerce
and industry are perfecting admirable plans for
financial preparedness.

and then some who had been personal
friends. although in several cases politi-
cal opponents, when Van Buren was In
the heyday of his power. Among those
whom Van Buren entertained WAS Henry
Clay, for although they had always been
politically antagonistic, nevertheless they
were warm personal friends. Each was
accustomed TO speak in the highest terms
Of the ability and sincere devotion to the
welfare Of the United States Of the other
Van Buren-who had long been familiar
with CIay's career and who was can
didate for vice president in 1882 on the
ticket at the head Of which stood the
name Of Andrew Jackson-was familiar
with the circumstances which led to the
hopeless nomination OF Henry Clay for
president in 1882. Van Buren knew how
lmpetuous and impulsive Clay sometimes
was. He felt that II Clay had followed
the policy adopted at the beginning OF his
political career by Van Buren he would
have been better equipped for carrying
on a successful presidential contest.
When he fret become influential In New
York state politics Van Buren decided
that he would never write a letter that
had any political bearing, saying that II
was better to go hundreds Of miles TO see
a man and talk with him than 10 write
to him, because sometimes letters, when
published were misinteTpreted
The presidential election in 1874 turned
out exactly as Van Buren feared. The
letter, almost musty and yellow with age,
which he unthinkingly wrote TO an Ala
bama friend. was the instrument which
occaeioned Clay's defeat.

NO, Hetty Green was not the Wealthiest wou1-

money that no one would envy the rich if it was

The item of s25o.0oO for the employment
OF clerical assistants and experts under
the Navy Department to meet the in
creased demand created by the big navy
building program has been stricken from
the naval appropriation bill. The pro-
posal to insert the item came originally
from the Secretary of the Navy.
The principal objection to the item
is thought to have come from mem
bers Of the House Appropriations
Committee. who resented the act of
the Secretary In taking out OF their
Jurisdiction an appropriation which
ordinarily. would have been included
in the legislative bill. 1t now has
been decided, under these circum-
stances, to place the item in the de-
in detail or itemized form. as is Gus

that II such q lump is made available
