REVENUE PRODUCER.

The new revenue producer just in
troduced in Congress, in principle,
will satisfy the public because of its
eminent fitness and exact justice. It's
size is unusual and ought to surprise
no one. The country has demanded
preparedness. Preparedness costs
money and the taxpayers must raise
It. One cannot have his apple and
eat it, too.
AS for the method of raising the
funds, it has all the elements of JUS
tice init. The major portions will
come from incomes. profits or mu-
nitions, tobacco, theatres, pool par
lors and the like. The justice of the
income tax is thoroughly understood,
even if Mr. Hughes did oppose it
when governor. It's is to transfer the
burden OF taxation from those least
able to those best able to bear it, In
country which permits a man to
earn large wealth, he ought to be
willing to pay his share of The up
keep of that benefcient country and
ought not object to a lesser tax paid
by a person who has lesser income
With the fabulous profits made on
munition manufacturers, these bene-
ficiaries ought to be the most willing
to share their largess with the coun-
try. Certainly they are not unwill-
ing to pay more than those whose
profits come through the slow pro-
cesses of normal business opera
tons. " sfESN ,ESsT
The taxes on tobacco, theatres,
pool parlors and such are justified
on the basis that they are non-essen-
tials to life. They are not bread and
water or clothing or houses to the
people. One can be absent from
theatre without loss of strength. In
every country these are among the
first to be taxed.
In any levy contemplated, the
small wage Garner is spared as are
his necessities of life. The heavier
the burden is borne by those best
able to bear it, which after all is the
ideal of all taxation

VETERANS PICNIC
WAS POSTPONED
Company Unable to Furnish Special
Trains Because of Moving Troops
To Border.

Owing to the demand for passenger
cars to move troops 10 the Mexican
border it will be impossible for the
b. e o. to obtain any special trains
for the veterans outing at Berkeley
Springs next Saturday, and the event
is therefore postponed until the COM
pany can furnish train service. How
ever, when that time arrives due no.
tice will be given.
This information reached the local
committee last evening, and was a
distinct shock as elaborate prepar-
atoms had been made. The committee
had application from Baltimore for
400 meal tickets, and perhaps that
number would have gone from here.
In all it was expected that at least
1000 veterans and friends would
spend the day.
Just what date will be fixed is, of
course, not known at this time, and
will not be until the company notifies
the local committee that special
trains can be run AS quickly as that
is done arrangements will be immed-
lately perfected and the information
given to the public.

THEN AND NOW.

Colonel Roosevelt's unwarranted at
tack on President Wilson charging
him with performing "the most evil
service that can be rendered to a
great democracy by its chosen lead
err is the sort of political demagogy
that will cost the Colonel vastly more
support than his letter could hope to
swing to Mr. Hughes. By virtue OF
tho yigor and picturesqueness OF his
methods. the Colonel heretofore has
been tolerated by many people not his
immediate political supporters, but
these and others win not countenance
this sort OF political buncombe
The Colonel. himself, If he were the
palladium of Americanism he pre-
sumes himself to be. instead OF max
ing the job of the Presidents more
difficult would be supporting him now
as he did back in 1914 when he ap-
proved the course of neutrality pur-
sued by the Washington government
He would not assume as he does
now but did not in 1914 that he is the
author of preparedness when during
his own presidential term he actual
" reduced the American standing
army
Explanation is not far away In
1914. the Colonel was an American.
Today he is a politician. Patriotism
influenced his thoughts them. politics
is the flame which heats him now.
He rants of the Mexican policy of the
Administration though offers no ex-
cuse or explanation for the fact that
during his term. not only were Amer
leans slaughtered in Mexico but his
secretary, Mr.. Root, actually refused
to send American troops to protect
Others. All his efforts to trace away
these indellible indictments of his in
consistency have failed
Time and again he has condemned
the European and Mexican policy OF
his government. The New York Sun
with all propriety asked the Colonel
what under like conditions he would
do. A heroic, concise, strenuous an
swer might have been expected. The
lame reply was that he could not af-
ford to answer the question for if he
started 10 answer one such, there
would be no limit to the number he
would have to follow up.
President Wilson's Americanism
and his brilliant leadership in the try.
ing periods of international chaos
across the seas needs no defense. He
can well Withstand the pattering of
political criticism that springs from
unfair roots and is stepped in incon-
sistency.

JUNE FAILURES ANALYzEp.

Inasmuch as the latest statistics af-
ford the best indication Of existing
conditions, it is highly encouraging
that there were fewer failures in June
than in any month in two years, with
the smallest liabilities since Septem-
Der, 1911. Strictly commercial de-
faults, as distinguished from banking
suspensions and personal embarrass-
ments, numbered 1927 last month,
while the aggregate Indebtedness was
$11,929,3 41 These figures compare
with 1882 insolvencies in May for
S19,446, 1876 and with 2,009 reyerses,
involving 25,S63,286, in January
the high point OF the present year.
When comparison is made with June,
1915 there appears a numerical re-
duction of 80 per cent, and contrac-
ton of 80 per cent in amount, fall
ures last year numbering 1,754 and
the sum owed totalling $18,313,11S.
Separation of the June defaults ac-.
cording to occupation shows that
there were 285 in manufacturing
lines for $3,445, 297 against 404 in the
previous year, when the liabilities
were 1864, 300. Trading insolven-
cies last month numbered S94 and in
volved $7,834,S7O as compared with L.
274 in the same period of 1915 for
$9,15094S, while among agents, brok
ers and other concerns not properly
included in either manufacturing or
trading there were As reverses for
$649,174 against rs last year for ST.,
557,S7O.
A distinctive feature of the June
returns was the falling off in the
number of large failures, there being
only for 100000 or more in each
case, aggregating in all $1,313,000.
These figures compare with % SINH
lar defaults for s5590,25 in 1915, and
are the smallest for the period in over
a decade past. After eliminating the
suspensions of unusual size. there
remained 1,21S other insolvencies last
month and the liabilities of these
We're $10,616,341, or an average of $S,-
716. This average is higher than in
the two years Immediately preced
ing, but is lower than in 1913 and
1911.

terday afternoon before Justice l.. H.
Kreps at Winchester, James Grim, of
Berryville, confessed to stealing

of destination.
Discussing the situation today one
member of the company said that
everything at the camp was not The
best. When a regiment was called by
the war department the Second was
gwen the preference, and falling to
recruit to the war strength the First
was called with the belief that g.
nough men would TRANSFER and give
the Second sufficient men so it would
be sent TO the border.
When the First reached the camp
and the situation became understood
the men refused to leave their COM
panies, and the result was that the
Second could not secure recruits. Of
fiters were sent to different cities
and towns to open recruiting station
but they returned practically empty
handed. Then to make matters worse
measles broke out and several militia
mon are confined to their tents with
the disease. At present the Second
regiment has but few more than 400
men able for duty.
The companies returned to their
homes with instructions to recruit at
once to war strength. Before that is
reached 65 men must enlist and pass
the required physical examination.
The officers of Company + will i'm
mediately open a recruiting station
and engage in the usual drills, as 1t
is believed they will be called to the
border to relieve those already there
about November 1.
''Dick" Gerhardt successfully pas
sed the examination and was transfer
red to the Huntington machine gun
squad, and will get a chance to see
active service.
AS to the Second regiment band
nothing is known, it being the opin

G. O. P. FORGOT OLD SOLDIERS.

What ever may be ne trutn as TO
the ingratitude of republics, the in
gratitude Of Republicans, measured
by tleir platform, is an undeniable
fact
Surely there was never a time in
the history of the country when the
old soldiers who imperilled their lives
in the national defense should have
had their claims so clearly remem-
bered as now At a time when every
energy is being bent toward the stim-
ulation of patriotism and prepared
ness. it is striking fact that the Re
publican party should go on record
in favor of allowing pensions for past
services to lapse. so far as the official
platform voices anything TO the con-
trary
A government which does not make
proper provision for the declining
years of those who risked death that
the republic might live would hardly
be in a position to ask similar sacri
fees for the future And yet in this
crucial hour when national defense
is the rallying cry of every patriotic
American. the Republican convention
at Chicago, after days of effort to nul
