United States!
The national debt per capital Of Japan is S23,
and that Of the United States S33.
The cost of feeding japanese soldier is one
twelfth of the cost Of feeding an American.
The feeding cost Of an American soldier is "a
cents day, that of japanese two cents.
And the japanese sacrifice everything for their
country.
japanese merchants and men of wealth will
ingly and gladly pay large income taxes for the
support Of the army and navy OF Japan.
The Japanese marvellous, courageous,
ambitious proud people.
They may be slightly smaller in body than we,
but equipment, ability and endurance count today
in war, not stature.

when the BrownM fan Comes Without Warming

II Is assumed that we could send our Atlantic
fleet, or portion of it, thru the Panama canal or
around South America in time to decide a naval
war with Japan.
1t is very questionable if the patriotic Japa-
nese living in the Panama canal zone would allow
our ships to pass thru the canal when il is possible
to prevent them doing So
small amount of dynamite could create such
a slide-even before should have knowledge of
the contemplated innocent Japanese naval maneu-
ver-that the canal would be blocked for months
If we attempt to send our Atlantic fleet around
Cape Horn those bateShipS must be accompanied
by supply ships.
Even tho we have fighting vessels that can
make II knots, the fleet would have to be held
together.

WASHINGTON, May
3.-Seoretary McAdoo is
directed TO furnish con-
gress with a statement
showing whether $780,
100000 is being annually
withheld from the treas
ury by income tax frauds
and evasions, in a resolu-
ton offered today by Rep.
Keating of Colorado.
McAdoo is asked why
he has not recommended
TO the president that all
income tax returns be
made public in order that
fraud may be checked.
Keating said he based his resolu-
tion on charges made by Basil NJ.
Manly former chief investigator of
the Industrial Relations commits
sion.
Manly. in a published statement,
declared that more than s400, ,000,-
600 should be received annually in
stead OF the sS0,000,000 actually
collected.
The resolution asks whether
$4,000, 100000 was paid in wages
and salaries during 1914. $500, ,000,-
900 being paid to men receiving
$4,000 a year or more; whether
more than $500. 100000 yearly
above the 5000 exemption is re-
eeived as income from fees; wheth-
er $50, 900. 900 is received as income
from ownership of property and
the conduct of business above the
$4,000 exemption; whether incomes
received by persons subject TO IN
come tax total S20,S66.00 and
whether. with all proper deduc-
tions, the figure should be s14,500.-
600.
In introducing his resolution,
keating said:
You may discount Manly's
charges 80 per cent and still have
a sum which makes all other
frauds heretofore perpetrated seem
insignificant.
Three hundred and twenty mil
lion dollars represents the income
Of 100000 workingmen who have
labored every day in the year"
