\ FAIR SYSTEM

The same rate OF federal income
and Inheritance taxes here that Eng
land had in 1914, would have pro-
duced nearly $500, 100000 in reye-
nues for the federal treasury, or II
times as much as our federal income
taxes amounted to that year. Since
then the rate of direct taxation in
England has more than doubled, so
that her rate applied here would pro-
duce upward of $4,000, 100000 of
revenue for Uncle Sam in 1917. Why
isn't this the only fair way to pay
for preparedness Tax those most
able to pay, instead Of piling indirect
taxes upon the consumption of those
least able to pay. Denmark did just
this, a few years ago; heavier taxes
upon larger incomes paid for her
naval additions; no burden was
added upon small farmers and work
ers. American farmers will pay
cheerfully their just part OF really
needed government expenditure, but
they hate to be imposed upon. The
people generally insist that the gov
eminent pay its way-that prepared
ness be paid out of new or higher
taxes, not hidden by bond issues. For
the same reason, the public insists
upon rigid economy from all Off
Gals. Public waste, if stopped,
would alone defray a large share of
the cost Of any we'll matured plan

Commercial Interests
IndOrSe Submarine War
Ru narl w. Ackerman

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
Leipzig, Germany, March ll.-Big
commercial interests of Germany,
though desiring to avoid break with
America, favor more vigorous sub
marine warfare than Germany has
waged since the beginning of the war.
This sentiment / found unanimous
today in visit to the great Leipzig
commercial exposition, to learn the at
titude of the people toward submarine
warfare and the German American con-
trOversies.
Leipzig opinion is of the greatest
value because of the great business in
terests centered here which gave to the
world the "made in Germany" phrase.
But it has been formed for the most
part on inaccurate English press reports
Of what is going on at Washington.
The result is that the people of Leip-
zig believe there is difference be-
tween what President Wilson does
and what the American people want
him to do. They count President Will
son as an enemy and the American
people as their passive friends.
Leading Leipzig business men told
the United Press very frankly today
that they desire a continuance Of good
relations with the United states not be-
cause of the relations themselves, but
because American Intervention might
prolong Germany's task of winning the
war.

sunk without warning since the kaiser's
decree of submarine warfare against
armed merchantmen became effective.
Three of the crew were drowned. The
Americans were saved
Immediately upon receipt Of dis.
patches describing the sinking, it was
stated unoffically that the Unite,
States would hold to strict account the
nation whose submarine made the at.
tack, provided later messages confirm.
ed the original meager message
1t is believed the submarine was
German. Secretary Lansing will not
act officially until he has complete
tails.
Before proceeding Lansing must have
affidavits from passengers and crew
showing beyond reasonable doubt "
that the Silus was torpedoed.
The affidavits, it is said, cannot pos.
sibly get here before a week or 10
days.
That the Silius was unarmed is ac.
cepted as fact, as she was neutral

make the case more serious than any
yet confronted by the government dur.
ing the submarine disputes.
No power has over hinted that non.
combatants, whether neutral or belliger.
ent, have no right to travel on neutral
vessels. Even if the submarine made
sure Of the passengers safety, America
would not be satisfied, it was stated
authoritatively.

London, Mar. l1-A sudden German
thrust into CorbeAuX woods has imper-
illed the French on a five mile front
west of the Meuse, according to dis
patches received here today.
The Germans attacking Verdun are
reported wasting lives recklessly in an
attempt to advance one mile to the
Forges- Cumieres road. Success in this
move would force General Joffre' IS men
to evlcuate their trenches on Goose
Hill and around BethincOurt.
Latest Paris advices admitted a Ger
man gain, but declared the TeutOns
were driven from their captured posi-
tions by counter attacks. A cross fire
from Goose Hill and Dead Mans Hill
was brought to bear on the TeutOns.
This same fire earlier this week forced
the Germans to relinquish gains in
Nerdun forest after loss of 1000 men.
Around Douaumont, Vaux and Fort
De Vaux the battle drew more intense
yesterday. Reports are contradictory
however, regarding the results.
Zouaves, Turcos and Senegalese
fought like demons in the streets of
Vaux. Charging from house to house,
they rushed the Germans from town at
tne points Of their bayonets.
"These troops" Paris reported
drove their bayonets home with an
overarm plunging stroke. 1t was en-.
tirely unlike the method Of British and
French inflntrymen, who usually thrust
upward. The French-African soldiers
raised their rifles above their heads
and brought them down with their full
weight behind each blow, forcing the
bayonets entirely through their oppOn'
ents bodies.
"'The Germans suffered even more
heavily from French artillery and ma.
chine guns. Yet when General Won
Guretsky Cornitz's troops were being
