HOW SHALL WE
 PAY FOR THE WAR?
Continued from page one.)

 In considering the apportionment of she extraordinary burden of taxes In war times certain scientific principles hre definitely established:
 How Taxes Should Be Apportioned. Q) The burden of taxes must be spread as far as possible over the whole community so as to cause each individual to share in the sacrifices ac- cording to his ability to pay and ac- cording to his share in the Government. @ Taxes on consumption, which are necessarily borne by the community at large, should be imposed as far as pos sible on articles of quasi-luxury rather than on those of necessity.
 t3) Excises should be imposed as far as possible upon commodities in the hands of the final consumer rather than upon the articles which serve pri- marily as raw material for further production.
 (4) Taxes upon business should be imposed as far as possible upon net earnings rather than upon gross re- ceipts or capital invested.
 (5) Taxes upon income which will necessarily be severe should be both differentiated and graduated. That is, there should be a distinction between earned and unearned incomes and there should be a higher rate upon the larger incomes. It Is essential, however, not to make the income rate so excessive as to lead to evasion. administrative difficulties, or to the more fundamental objections which have been urged above.
 (6) The excess profits which are due to the war constitute the most obvious and reasonable source of revenue dur ing war times. But the principle upon which these war-proit taxes are laid must be equitable in theory and easily calculable in practice
 The Proposed Income Tax.
 The additional income tax as passed by the House runs up to q rate of GO per cent This is sum unheard of In the history of civilized society. It must be remembered that 1t was only after the first year of the war that Great Britain increased her income tax to the maximum of 34 per cent, and that even now in the fourth year of the war the income tax does not exceed 42E per cent.
 It could easily be shown that tax with rates on moderate incomes sub stantially less than in Great Britain, and on the larger incomes about as high, would yield only slightly less than the $532, ,OO0O0 originally estimated in the House bill.
 It Is to be hoped that the Senate will reduce the total rate on the highest in

poor.
 It will throw far heavier burden upon the rich, but will not go to the extremes of confseation. 1t will ob- vtate interference with business and will keep unimpaired the social pro ductivity of the community.
 It will establish just balance be tween loans and taxes and will not succumb to the danger of approaching either the tax-only policy or the loan only policy. Above all, 1t will keep an undisturbed elastic margin, which must be more and more heavily drawn upon as the war proceeds.
Judsonia weekly advance., 1917-06-13

per cent, and that at the same time 1t will reduce the rate on the smaller in comes derived from personal or profes- sional earnings.
 If the war continues we shall have to depend more and more upon the in- come tax. By imposing excessive rates now we are not only endangering the future, but are inviting all manner of difficulties which even Great Britain has been able to escape.
 Conclusion.
 The House bill contains other funda- mental defects which may be summed up as follows:
 CD It pursues an erroneous principle in imposing retroactive taxes.
 (2) It selects an unjust and unwork- able criterion for the excess-profits tax. (3) It proceeds to an unheard-of height in the income tax.
 (4) It imposes unwarranted burdens upon the consumption of the commu- nifty.
 (5) It is calculated to throw business into confusion by levying taxes on gross receipts instead of upon commodities.
 (6) It fails to make a proper use of stamp taxes.
 @ 1t follows an unscientific system in its flat rate on imports
 (S) It includes multiplicity of pet. ty and unlucrative taxes, the vexatious- ness of which is out of all proportion to the revenue they produce.
 
 The fundamental lines on which the House bill should be modified are sum- med up herewith:
 CD The amount of new taxation should be limited to $1, 250,OO0,000-ol at the outset to $1,50O 100000. To dc more than this would be as unwise as it is unnecessary. To do even this would be to do more than has ever been done by any civilized Govern ment in time of stress.
 @ The excess-profts tax based upon a sound system ought to yield about $5O0,OOO,OOO.
 (3) The income-tax schedule ought te be revised with lowering of the rates on earned incomes below $10,OOO, and
 
 with an analogous lowering of the rates on the higher incomes, so as not to exceed 34 per cent. A careful cal culation shows that an income tax O1 this kind would yield some $450,O0O. 900 additional.
 (4) The tax on whisky and tobacct ought to remain approximately as it is with yield of about $230, 100000.
 These three taxes, together with the stamp tax at even the low rate Of the House bill, and with an improved au tomobile tax, will yield over $1,250, 100000, which is the amount of money thought desirable.
 The above program would be in har mony with an approved scientific sys tenn. It will do away with almost al of the complaints that are being urged against the present. It will refrain from taxing the consumption of the

MANUAL TRAINING
 DEPARTMENT AT
 HIGH BUSY PLACE
Boys Fashion Pleasure I'm plements, as Well as Arti
 cles of Furniture.

If some one should visit the mama; training department at the present time he would suppose that it was a | bench, swing and baseball bat fac l tory. Each pupil is making one or | the other of these articles. But the visitors should not think that these are the only things, for during the previous term products such as tea wagons, linen chests, sewing tables, magazine stands, dressing tables, flower boxes. medicine chests, swings, costumers, stools, tabourettes, library tables, writing desks, pedestals, rocS- CTS. lamps, chairs, telephone stands. and even babies hign chairs hava been produced.
 This evidence presents the wonder full work that the manual training de- partment is accomplishing. Yet som people will assert that the time used in manual training is wasted and should have been devoted to books. Now, I shall endeavor to prove that they are wrong in these views.
 The purposes of manual trainin are:
 To enable the pupil to enlarge his powers of expression.
 To make him acquainted with the nature and use of the most common materials.
 To connect the work of school with the affairs of everyday life.
 To lead him to develop certain degree of skill in the use of tools.
 To develop his originality.
 The. value of manual training is divided into two classes, practical an cultural.
 It is practical because:
 It increases the pupils power to do
 It gives degree of skill in the use Of tools. 7
 It schools in the value of material.
 It teaches the dignity of labor.
 It's cultural value is:
 It demands concentration of atten- tion.
 It requires organized thinking.
 It demands an exercise of will power.
 Should boy intend to go to pri- vate school where there is g manu l. training course, he can earn his way through by taking this work and sell . ing the articles that he makes. Most of the boys now taking manual train ing are earning little spending money each week by selling the pro- ducts of their labor.
 The manual training department will be conducted on still more ad- vantageous basis the next term of school, which begins in September. Architecture and woodworking will be combined and then the boys will have to design the articles that they are going to produce. The success of the manual training department is due to the efficient and untiring ef- forts of the instructor, MT. B. A. Horton.

BUILDING NEVER
 CEASES IN THIS
 PROSPEROUS CITY
Forty-five Buildings Erect ed Since January l, and
 Work Continues.
(By Reynolds Hawkins)

| In the last few years, despite the
 war and other things to check prog
 ress, building in Pine Bluff has gone
 on necessarily. In 1911, there were
 133 buildings erected at a cost of
 S15O.153: in 1912, there were lO2
 erected, at cost of S287,O60; in 1915.
 there were Fl erected, at cost ot S156,413; in 1914, there were %
 erected, at cost of $123,5O0; in 1913, there were 75 erected at cost of S191,975; and in 1916 there were 90 erected, at cost of $134,8O2 We find that the average cost per building in 1911 was $1,131, and in 1916 it was S1 APO. This shows that
 while the number of buildings erected per year has not increased, the cost per building has increased practical, fly 26 per cent. There now are 4,0lS
 buildings inside the city limits, 2l which 4,238 are residences.
 Since January 1, 1917, there have
 been 45 buildings erected, and 20 ot these are residences. There IS now more building in progress than there has been for two or three years.
 There are now about ten houses belng built. Several of these are of brick veneer, and they range m cost rom
 $500 to $3,000.
 Public Improvements.
 Of public improvements the con- struction of sidewalks has been most
 extensive. On December 31, 1910,
 there existed 23.85 miles of concrete
 sidewalks, which were constructed at
 an approximate cost of $69,26O. On December 31, 1916, there were 46.25
 miles of concrete sidewalks, which
 shows an increase of practically 50 per cent.
 The next most appreciable improve
 ment is paved streets. On December 31, 1910, there were II miles of paved streets, and on December 31, 1916, there were 22 miles.
 There have been also many other improvements, such as drainage, bet ter sewers, etc. (The writer's figures as to the value of buildings are based on estimates submitted when permits are applied for. As the fee for a permit in- creases with the cost of the building, the estimates furnished are usually far below the actual value.Ed.)
