ECONOMY"

Just now we are in state of rath- CT chaotic patriotism. The air is clam orous with suggestions, demands and appeals. Hundreds of movements are under way, all with the best intentions and for the most part with very little reflection. The result is confusion, cross purposes and conflict, with all their inherent evils.
 Some good women of social and political importance in the East have started a move to buy no more wear ing apparel. Their is to be war economy measure; token of their self-sacrifice and an example to the women of the land.
 X little deliberation will demon strate the folly of this movement. Ii this abstention affected only the pur- chasers there would be but slight ob- ection to their economical ambitions. But it is not so fortunately circum- scribed. The welfare of hundreds, even thousands, are involved in the sale of a silk petticoat or waist. Tn mill, factory, counting room, ln ,obbing. wholesale and retail houses, there are employees with families who get a mite of their existence from this petticoat. Take this petti- .oat out of existence and they are out of employment. The ill effects do not end there, but spread out to the grocer, the baker. the butcher and hundreds of others, almost to ln- finity.
 The fact is simply this; we all of as live by reason of somebody pu!- ing something from some other per son. Directly or indirectly our eX- istence is built on trade, our civiliza- tion is founded on it, no matter how disparagingly would-be idealists and rrack-brained economists speak of It. To stop trade or curtail it reckless ly will result in a lack of employ nent, and that means hard times and panic. And d panic is not military asset
 There is one place where we should cconomize, and that is in our kitchen. We are the most wasteful people on earth. We must stop that waste The world is short of food, and we must take heed of the shortage. The wo- man who denies herself new gown or pair of shoes and invests the money in superfluous groceries is not patriot. Far from it she is food cpeculator. She is only intensifying the food shortage and increasing the cost on one hand, and throwing some of her citizens out Unemployment on the other Of what possible military assistance can this be?
 At present patriotism for the most of us resides in the kitchen and on the farm, professional or. backyard. Let every house wife devote her pat riotic energies to making food go as far as possible, not by stint, but by her ingenious labor in the kitchen. Let every man who can grow hill of potatoes or a head of cabbage do so, and strive to raise two. Then let us live our normal lives, buying such necessities as we have always bought. With plenty of food for ourselves and our allies. with $7,0O,OO0,000 being spent in the United States, we can look upon the economic aspects of the war with equnimity.
 Economy is virtue that easily be- comes a vice. The miser is the super economist.

IT is most certainly not to be won dered at if the views of Russian Statesmen on the future foreign pol icy of the great nation should, at the outset, be widely divergent. The one central aim of the bureaucracy of the old regime was ever territorial ag- grandizement The policy seldom. however, appeared directly as such, the forward movement being obsten- sibly inspired by quite legitimate aims at different quarters. It cannot, therefore. he an easy task for even the most astute statesman to decide whether a long cherished aspiration is really a national necessity" or only an ambition of kings" The members of the Provisional Government have sonethis far together, that they have proclaimed that Russia does not aim at domination of other nations, nor at the occupation by force Of foreign territories: but when it comes down to such specific questions as the control of the Dardanelles. there is a wide difference of opinion. However, the Provisional government has solved so many difficulties up to the present, that it is only matter of interest, and not a matter of concern, how it will solve this one.

ALASKA SLATED TO RAISE
 \ BIG TAX FROM LANDS

Copies of a bill which has been introduced in the National House of Representative and which provides for a direct annual tax on all real estate in the United States or Terri tories, by which it is estimated two billion of dollars will be raised an- nually, have been received in Jul neau.
 The bill apportions the sum to be raised among the states and terri tories and gives the estimated amount to be raised in Alaska as s1, 395,- 576O6. This amount is based on th,l population of 64,356, including h. dians and Eskimos.
 The bill provides that the said direct tax, laid by this act, shall be assessed and laid on the value of all land. exclusive and irrespective of the ! improvements thereon a: that all land subject to taxation under [ this act shall be assessed for the pur- pose of taxation at its full market value on the first Monday of March each year,
 The amount, of the tax is appor- toned among the states and ranges from New York with $19E,631, 122, to that of Alaska, which is the small est amount levied on any of the states of territories. The assessed valuation of real estate in the in corporated towns of Alaska, includ- ing all improvements for the year 1915, amounted to $14, ,656,697, mak- ing a tax of approximately fourteen cents on every dollar of assessed val uation of real estate.
