INSURANCE FOR FIGHT.
ING men.

The administrations program
for insuring soldiers sailors and
marines was placed before con-
gress today in Identical bills in
troduced by Senator Simmons
and Representative Alexander.
Committee hearings will be held
soon and the measure probably
will be taken up in the senate
and House as soon as the war
tax bill has been disposed of.
In its general feature the in
surance program varies but lit
tie from previous announced out
lines, the chief invocation being
the proposal to compel men and
officers to alIot a minimum Of SIS
a month out of their pay to de-
pendent wives and children. The
bill proposes to vest in the war
and Navy departments authority
to compel such payments.
Authority is also proposed to
compel the men to be insured, to
deposit at four per cent interest
with the government and at the
discretion of the War and Navy
department so much of their pay
as is represented by the differ
ence between the $15 family al
otment and half of their regular
pay.
Chief Provisions.
Provision is made in the pro-
gram for the payment of govern
ment allowances to families Of
men in the netion's armed forces
The proposals allowances vary
between So and $50 monthly, ac-
cording to the circumstances of
the dependants, aud would be in
addition to the sum allowed un-
der the compulsory allotment
feature of the bill.
Indemnities for partial and
total disability would vary from
$40 a month for privates up to
5000 for higher officers. The ed
ucation of injured men in voca-
tions by which they could earn a
livelihood also is provided for.
Under the terms of the bill,
soldiers. sailors and marines
would be enabled to obtain in
surance on their lives during the
war in sums from 81, 900 to $40.
600, the government taking the
risk and the men paying the
premium. The rate would be
approximately So on $1,000 of
insurance, and the premiums
wonld be payable by installments
out of pay.

LOYALTY IN SOUTH.

To the Editor of the Pioneer
Press.
visited in the south not long
ago. What a contrast | found
there compared with the mouth
ings of partly educated agitators
anarchists and hyphenates in the
| north! Those ex-Oonfederates
are loyal to the core. 1t was
good to get away from the hot
beds of treachery in the north
and to be once more in the CON-
pany Of loyal Americanism un-
snllied by foreign ingrates. We
are cursed by the presence Of
nearly alk the misfits of Europe.
who abuse the liberty we give
them. Must we always put up
with the snarling alien who
snaps at the hand that welcomes
him to America? Must we con.
tinue to import agitators to
teach us how to run this land
with made-in-Germany brands
of socialism? Go down south,
loyal Minnesotans and get q
breath of Americanism before
you suffocate. DISGUSTED.
Thus writes q citizen to
the st. Paul Mimi Pioneer
Press.
The attitude of the ex-
Confederates in this war is
universally correct.
Here aud there some poll
tician in the south agitates
against the method of con-
ducting the war, but the ex-
Confederates know that to
win the war it takes men
and money and plenty OF
both to fight it out. They
feel also that selective draft
is democratic.
1t is unfortunate, however,
that we have some
men in the south whose
people have been in this
country for six generations
and are more disloyalin ten
denotes than some OF the
hyphenates OF the north.
But as the grasp OF the
E
problem becomes more intel
ligeut, the number OF these
will decrease.
But every native born
American and every Anleri-
can whose father fought in
the Mexican War and dur
ing the War of 1912 ought
to by example encourage
those who come later to as
pire to the highest ideals
of citizenship. Commercial

FINANCING THE WAR.

The United States is fina nciDg
itself in this war by loans and
taxes. 1t obtains funds from
the people, some by taxation and
some by the sale of bonds, and
then it goes into the markets
and buys from the people what
it needs. The people supply the
government with this money
buys from the people what it
needs for the war.
There are three sources from
which the United States can
draw the slnews of war. First
is the fixed property of the ma
ton. This represents our farms,
factories. mines, railways and
all other property including ac-
cumulated savings From the
corpus or body of none of these,
except the accumulated savings
will the government obtain war
funds and even from the accu-
lated savings it will draw a re.
latively small portion. These
accumulated savings in indus
tries and business which are nee
-essary to the country's welfare
and prosperity and it is only
that portion these savings
which are seeking investment
that the government will receive
in exchange for bonds.
The second and the great
source from which the govern
ment is to derive its war fund is
the wealth produced during the
war. Part Of this it will obtain
BY taxation and part in exchange
for bonds. The annual proiuc-
tiop of the Unitd States, from
it's farmf, miues, factories, and
other sources, amounts to fifty
billion dollars year and out OF
his fifty billion dollars will come
the funds, part from taxes and
part from the sale of bonds, with
which The United States will f.
nance itself during this war.
By taxation this generation
will pay it's portion of the cost
of the war. By the sale of bonds
the next generation is called up
on to pay it's portion, and this
last portion will be paid from
the wealth production after the
war.
By this method the capital of
the country, its sources of income
and wealth, are unimpaired.
1t is only the yearly increment
of that property that is called
upon to bear a portion of the
war. Thus despite the waste of
war and the destruction Of prop
erty involved the country may
emerge from the conflic strong
er financially, more efficient and
even wealthier than before.
What the government receives
it from the people without i'm
pairing the sources Of wealth Of
the country, and passes it back
to the people in exchange for
the productions of the country
1t is in way only a shifting of
credits. The gov ernment col
lects the current taxes and by
means of bonds anticipates tax
es of the years TO come, and all
the money thus acquired passes
back into the hands of the tax
payers. This is why govern
ments which follow sound econo-
mic methods not only are not
impoverished by wars but some
times emerge the stronger not
rs England did after The Napole-
onic wars and the United States
did after our geeat Civil War.
