CALL LITTLE GRAY MINISTER"

He has been presiding elder
they call 1t district superintendent
however since, with one short
interval from 1899 to 1901, when
he was pastor of the First Metho-
dist church at Whatcom.
He was at first stationed in the
vancouver district, then the Che
halls district, then the Olympia
district, then the Whatcom dis
trict, and finally the Tacoma dis
trict.
The Puget Sound country was
young and rough and wild when
the young presiding elder began
his rounds in 1t.
From one little church to the
other he made his. way, getting
the intimate knowledge of the
ministers and the people which a
presiding elder needs in order to
make wise recommendations to the
bishop when appointments are
considered in the annual shake
up.
The cities grew larger and the
country more settled. The little
presiding elder logged faithfully
around his districts, growing with
them.

He had hobby-roses. He
petted them In his back yard when

he was not writing sermons or 60
ing his rounds. He studied them
as he studied his preachers, to
know the best and the worst of
each. He became one of the best
known rosarians in the United
States. When he attended the
Ecumenical Conference in London
in 1910 he was also official rep
resentative of the American Rose
society.
Meanwhile, in 1898, Gov. Rog-
ers had appointed DIR. Sulliger
chaplain of the End Washington
infantry, national guard.
His father had been Civil vet
eran; he was interested in the
young man who cared enough
about their country to keep her
from being without at least the
beginnings Of an army even tho
there was no sign that she would
ever need one again.
So it happened that DR.. Sulliger
became Chaplain Sulliger, with
the rank Of captain, and the oner-
Gus duty fattending the annual
encampment each summer, which
was as good as vacation.

HAS LAID ITS HAND ON THE
GOODLY FELLOWSHIP OF THE
PUGET SOUND METHODIST
CONFERENCE.
And in a day or two, or a week

his district, from the big temples
in the cities to the tiny shacks in
lonely clearings, will miss the
familiar, active little figure that
travelled SO indefatigably among
"his preachers.
1t is one of the changes of war.
DR.. Sulliger began to preach in
Kansas, more years ago than the
whole lives of some OF "his
preachers" number. He came to
Puget Sound In 1892. He had
been preaching only four years
when he was made presiding elder

came and went. Presiding elders
became district superintendent
DR.. Sulliger grew gray, but not
less active. Many a minister on
Puget Sound had never attended
conference at which the small,
alert, black-coated figure did not
sit at the long table just below
the bishop.
But the change came.
Theer was hurrying Of troops
the little beginnings of an
army that DR.. Sulliger had joined
so long besore-and whispers of
dark doings in Mexico and bad
possibilities ahead; and one day
there appeared at the long con-
ference table a strange figure for
a gathering of Methodists-a trim,
gray figure in olive drab and
leather leggings; a soldierly fig
ure that wore on its military col
lar where the crossed guns or can
non should be, little silver cross.
Chaplain Sulliger was going to

XX/HiY, mi: must there be all this f.. fuss SIS about about
In few weeks we created the ma
chinery by which we made available all the
fighting men that Uncle Sam can use for long
time to come We got the men and got them
quickly, but congress has spent more time de-
wishing ways and means to get the dollars than
on all the other war measures combined.
Ask yourself this one question: How did
we go about the job of getting the men for the
amy?" and the answer to the dollar question
may hit you in the face.
In the CONSUMPTION of men for Uncle Sam's
armies we took two distinct steps. First we
REGISTERED all men of military age in or
der to find out how many were available. Then,
after we knew just exactly how many men
were available we proceeded by the fairest
means that we could devise to DRAFT into the
service of the United States the number needed.
THE TIMES SUBMITS: WHY NOT DO
EXACTLY THE SAME THING WITH DOL
LARS?
Why not register the dollars that should be
available for paying the cost Of the war in just
the same way that we registered the men that
ought to do the fighting, and then by the fairest
plan that can be devised draft into the service
of the United States by taxation just exactly
the number of dollars that are needed for war
purposes?
N LID you know that every item of taxation
in every revenue bill is based on the Wild
est kind of guessing! 1t is the amazing
truth. Neither congress nor the treasury de-
partment knows within millions of dollars how
many dollars any particular tax is going to
yield. They simply guess, allow a big margin
of safety, and trust in the Lord
Suppose we tried to raise an army in the same
way; wouldn't there be fine mess?
THE KEY TO EFFECTIVENESS AND
SCIENTIFIC CONSUMPTION rs REGIS
TRATION OF MEN, AND THE KEY TO Eff
FECTIVE AND SCIENTIFIC TAXATION
IS THE REGISTRATION OF INCOMES
We know that every dollar of taxes is finally
paid out of somebody's incomes. War profits
taxes are simply taxes on incomes that have not
been distributed. Taxes on tobacco, liquors,
sugar, coffee, and tea are paid out of the con-
sumers' incomes Tariff duties, stamp taxes
