Vacillation Led to War.
Dr. McKim says. In part:
our pactfists In America at the
present time are never weary OF de-
olarins that preparation for war Is an
invitation and Indictment to war; and
yet the recent history OF England shows
beyond the possibility OF doubt that
had England's rulers needed the voice
OF Lord Roberts and increased the
British army to even the moderate SIZE
Of $4,000 men. and had they let II be
known that Britain thus strengthened
would stand by her allies, there would
have been no war In lsli-the world
would have been spared all the horrors
Of the last two years.
In lNS war was averted when the
British foreign minister made V clear

event Britain would array herself upon
the side OF France. But the British

A BAD REVENUE MEASURE

It is difficult to find anything in
the Democratic Eevenue law that can
be regarded as seriously construc-
tive, while most Of it is destructive
in effect. The doubling Of the in
come tax without reducing the mini
mum at which it's effect shall begin,
is a perfectly frank piece Of dema-
goguery. The repeal of stamp taxes,
which are troublesome but efficacious
and calculated to bring ,the most in
slant returns, is off the'same piece.
Every effort has been directed to
make the new taxes directly affect
the smallest possible number Of
people.
Returns from the inheritance tax
will be slow. Those from the tax on
munitions of war willibe, it is conf
IDENTIFY predicted, both slow and dis
appointing in amount. The old-style,
reliable, and familiar forms of in
ternal revenue taxation are reduced
to the minimum. They have never
been popular, it is.true; but no other
form of taxation is popular. The
States and cities raise their reve-
hue for the greater part by the
most direct and, theoretically, least
liked method of taxation, namely,
the direct impost on property. Yet
there is less quarrel about this kind
Of taxation than any other. Its eco
nomic effects are plain. People know
just what they are paying, and are
moved to take an acute interest in
the use made of their money. With
in the scope of Federal authority to
levy taxes, the parallel to these d.
rect property taxes is most nearly
found in a proper internal revenue
system. It is the most efiicacious
method Of producing public money,
save only customs duties, because
when its machinery is once fully or
ganized it's levies may be increased
or decreased without disturbance
and the flow of returns is prompt
and reliable.
Turn from these measures OF
money raising to the effort, written
into this bill, at one piece Of con.
structive legislation; namely, the
provision for encouraging a dye
stuffs industry in this country. There
is a real exigency, demanding dyes
lest our textile business shall be
paralyzed in the moment of its
greatest opportunity. The chemica
and textile authorities presented &
plan for establishing a dye industry
That plan stood analysis and wal
justified by the most painstakins
study.
But the Democratic revenue bill
declines to accept this project. /

RIGHT ATTITUDE TOWARD THE
OUARDSMEN


Mexican situation, the taking Of the
national guard troops to the border
and leaving them there for any con-
siderable time, will have a profound
effect upon the future Of that or
ganization.
1t is no reflection on the guards
men to say that many of them would
have thought more seriously before
enlistinE had they anticipated being
mustered into the Federal service. 1t
is a high compliment to them that
practically all Of them fell into line
and are now available for duty out
side this country il it becomes neces-
sary.
The cost Of keeping the Federal
army and the guardsmen on the bor-
der for year has been estimated at
$50, 100000. Viewed in one light,
simply as the cost Of doing police
duty, that is heavy outlay. Viewed
in another light, as the cost Of whip
ping into shape a national guard
that will be trained soldiery and on
a par with the regulars, the proceed
ure. may be worth to the country
all it will cost.
When the guard returns, and all
danger of hostility has passed, what
then? Will the guard suffer because
of what it suddenly was called upon
to do in 1915? Will men with fami-
lies or dependents fail to enlist, fear.
ing they are assuming too big a
load?
That is a question that in large
part will be answered by the treat
ment the country gives to the
guardsmen and their dependents
now. The ideal organization of this
sort would be composed of the most
substantial, serious minded, earnest
young men in the country; of the
sort, in fact, who in large part make
it up now. That kind of men will
in future be moved to enroll them
selves, and in greater numbers than
ever, if the present experience shall
make it clear that in the event of
extended service they will neither
subject their families to privation
nor injure their own chances for
permanent advancement in the bust
ness world.
The greatest thing that the COM
munity as a whole could do for the
national military cause would be
first, to make perfectly sure that nc
family, no dependent, shall suffer by
the absence of volunteer soldier
second, to unite in enforcing policy
that. by giving a certain preference
after the military need shall have
ended, to soldiers seeking bushes:
relationships. This latter is some,
thing that Government cannot do. II
must be done through the united
purpose of the whole community.

NEEDED kbOGADO
 BECAUSE GUILTY

If he had been innocent. he would not have needed the services of d lawyer. but being guilty he needed somebody to help him out Of a hole That was the idea Of Manuel Con- zales. who was arraigned before Judge Lyman yesterday afternoon on the charge of stealing a S55 silk dress He was assisted in the enterprise by a sixteen year old boy
 When Gonzales was brought up and asked whether he wanted q lawyer he said that he had no money. The court told him that that would not stand in the way of his defense. Did he want lawyer Instead of mak- ing a difet reply to this question, he rambled somewhat and said that he realized that he was guilty He added that he stole the dress because he was in need whereupon it appeared that his circumstances must have been des- perate. or he would have stolen less costly and modish dress
 Again the question of his repre- sentation by an attorney was sug- gested by the court. and Mir Moore. who was present in the court room. was named. At the request of the lat ter. the matter went over until this morning
 The boy who was associated in the theft of the dress. was taken into juvenile court to be committed to the reform school.

C, Gettins and Dr. John Dennett at yesterdays meeting Each delegate handled certain phase of the convention, and each took his time to dilate upon the classy things that were done and the hOspitable manner in which the entire middle west treated the delegates.
 Jones handled the sidelights. includ- ing the round table meetings trade sections. secretaries conferences and the excursion to the Dayton plant Of the National Cash Register company.
 Gettins described the work of the convention itself and Dr Bennett re- peated tales of the receptions given the assemblage. One reception nearly floored him Together with Mrs. Dem nett, he created great deal Of inter est for one Kentucky woman. who could scarcely believe they were Ari- zonians, because they looked just like folks She was so glad to meet some one from the far and woody southwest. and-"Oh, I do want to meet someone from that Deighbor state of yours Iowal"

 Revertjng to preparedness, Mir Hughes said:
 our preparedness will not be a preparedness that threatens; 1t Will not be a rreparedness that means mllitarism. But it will be a prepared ness that now insures our peace and enlists us in the future in the cause eff the maintenance of the peace or the world"
