ship upon which he sails. His vari-
Gus encounters with government Of
ficers who examine his passports, all
appear in consecutive form until he
reaches Berlin. There the German
capital is found at the height of its
gayety, dressed in its best garb and
seemingly oblivious of the happen
ings outside. Everybody appears hap
py, business goes on without the
slightest suggestion Of the existing
strife and even the race course is at
tended by thousands of pleasure low
ing persons on the day of the DERBY.
Prominent Germans obligingly
pose for the American newspaper
man and many well known Ameri-
cans also smile through the films and
send their greetings to their friends.
Notable among these are Miss Jane
Adams, who was then on her famous
peace mission, and James w. Gerard,
United States ambassador to Ger
many. The kaiser, and kaiserin,
their daughter and three sons, in
cluding the crown prince, emerge
from the palace just as the camera
man appears on the scene, and be-
fore they enter their conveyance he
had their likeness on the film. From
this peaceful and beautiful city Dur
borough motored to the hotbed Of
the strife, armed with necessary Gre
tSentials and with American pluck
and perseverance. Along the way Ge
snaps Russian prisoners at work on
the roads, piling up hay and engaged
in other employment under the SUI
pervision of their German captors.
They seem contented.
Photographically these pictures
would be a credit to more efficient
movie photographers than Mr.. Dur
borough. There is a lack of gray
ness throughout the $500 feet OF
film. Sharp black and white lines
reflect the objects clearly and there
isn't the usual flicker evident in most
pictures taken b. the average photo
grapher at the front. Remarkable
results were obtained by the camera
man when he focused his machine
to take the smoke made by the burst
ing shells in midair and the Zeppe-
Inns as they sailed majestically over
the city of Warsaw. The power of the
lens manifests itself in the distant
scenes, pieturing the advances of the
German soldiers upon the Polish
capital.

Sex and Suffrage.

Shorn of it's silly sentimentalism
and cant, the question of women
suffrage is nothing more or less thar
an issue of whether or not all the
adult citizens of the state shall have
voice in making the laws to which
all are subject or whether that privll-
ege shall remain the property OF
those who gain their political power
through the accident of sex. There
are really no sound arguments in ia
vor OF the political subsection of
women. Once she was mans chattcl
slave. Her political slavery today is
but a survival of the days when the
cave man bought his wife at the price
of brute strength and made her his
menial servant. The only reason wo-
man has not had the ballot before
is that this idea of her subsection
has fingered long in the minds OF
those who direct our scheme of
government. Admitting first her in
tellectual and latter her industrial
position Of equality, man still hest
tates to give her a voice equal with
himself in disposing of the affairs OF
state.
There is more instinct than logic.
more tradition than statesmanship in
the attitude that still denies the
right of suffrage to woman. There Is
no prejudice against allowing wo-
man to work for a living. Hunger
knows no sex. Want knows no sex.
Necessity knows no sex. The law
knows no sex. Property knows no
sex. Only the ballot box knows sex.
But it has not been so very long
since the ballot box knew rank. IL
knew land and primogenture. 1t knew
money and family. All these para
phernalia of rank and privilege have
teen swept away by succeeding revo-
lutions of human thought and soon
er or later the disability of sex VIII
follow.
There is nothing surer than that'
The time will come when opposition
to woman suffrage will appear as
ill-founded as the disfranchisement
of a man because he is not an earl or
duke appears now. The light dawns
slowly but the spirit of liberty can
never be crushed out.-Waterioo
Courier.

INCOME TAX BOOST
GROWS N favor
MOVEMENT TO BECOME FoRMID-

LEM IS SOLVED.
KENYON FRAMES BILL
FOR HEAVY sURTAx
Would Compel Expatriated Americans
Like Baron Astor to Come Across
With IS Per Gent of Enormous In
comes-Prosressive Income Tax Pro-
posed by Federal Association.
Especial Correspondence

Washington, Jan. 20.-Indications are
strong that the movement for large
increase In the income tax will become
! formidable before the session is over
and the revenue problem is solved by
this administration and the democratic
leaders in congress.
: One of the striking plans for secur-
ing income tax which has developed is
embodied in a bill by Senator Kenyon
for the levying of heavy surtaX, adj
ditional to the usual income taxes, on
Americans who have expatriated them
selves. This surtax would run up to
20 per cent in the case Of incomes over
100000. by means Of it, it is pro-
posed to reach cases like those of the
new Baron Aston, lately given a title
by the English government, and draw
ing a heavy income from properties
here. This tax would net sum
amounting to many millions to the
government and 1t is not at all uR-
likely it will receive serious considera-
ton. Senator Kenyon, who was for
merly assistant to the attorney general,
says he has no doubt whatever the tax
can be lawfully imposed
progressive scale Proposed.
The Association For an Equitable
Federal Income Tax. officials of which
conferred with the president this week.
has likewise striking proposals for the
development of a rapidly progressive
income, tax. Under the plan submitted
by President John J. Hopper and other
officials OF this association to the
president the federal government, 1t
is asserted could secure at least
5000, 100000 by a rapidly progressive
scale OF rates. This would be about
third of the money needed for the
government, If the postal service,
which is substantially self-sustaining.
is left out of consideration.
Many suggestions as to the income
tax are made by this association. One
of them is that the income from in
vestments should be taxed at a higher
rate than currently earned income. It
Is pointed out that a person receiving
$4,000 net taxable income from mort
cages can much better afford to pay
higher rate Of taxation than a per-
son receiving the same income from
professional services or business en-
terprises.
AS to the argument the yapidly pro-
gressive income tax is confiscatory II
Is pointed out there is hardly a person
in the United States receiving net
taxable income in excess of 100000
who earns that sum by his exertions
and brains alone.
In ways and means circles and sem
ate finance committee circles, and
among many senators and house mem~
bers, the income tax problem Is re-
.ceiving keen attention. The sentiment
is undoubtedly stronger than 1t was
when the session opened to obtain
much of the revenue to meet prepared
ness from a heavier income tax. This
does not mean that large fortunes are
going to be visited in an oppressive
and confiscatory manner but that they
are likely to have to bear considerably
more tax than they do now.
