One Of the great forward steps inl.
tiated by Mayor Roberts and carried
through to a successful conclusion was
the arranging of the details for the
widening Of A street northwest, from
Main street to Broadway. When this
work is done it will have created an
other business street right in the heart
of the business district and enabled
more than one small business to secure
desirable location where one on Main
street was out of the question before.
The opening Of this street will also
mean the Improvement Of several busi.
ness sites that are now available by
the erection Of business houses.

raising the tax rate by rapid degrees
until it reaches sixty-flve percent in the
case of incomes over S1000,O00 a year.
Large incomes must be heavily taxed
because otherwise huble incomes, even
though formally exempt, would pay an
undue share of war taxes in the form
of high prices for the necessaries Of
life. They must be heavily taxed be-
cause ii is unfair to exempt wealth
while manhood is conscripted. They
must be heavily taxed because it is for
the protection of the property they rep.
resent, as much as anything else that
the war is being fought. They must be
heavily taxed because their very excess
is in nearly every case due to artificial
prosperity derived from the war and
comes largely out of the war bills which
the nation as a whole is paying
As for the fear expressed that not
enough income will be left the rich
men to buy war bonds, it deserves no
serious consideration. We do not want
the millionaires to buy the war bonds
We want our average citizens to buy
them, thereby democratizing our war
finance, cultivating national thrift anc
preventing the exemption of billions
from taxation by tax.free Investment

THE CREDIT OF THE UNITED STATES
MIGHT SETTLE THE WAR.

The adhesion OF the United States
government with the entente allies would
strengthen the financial credit of that
side of the war tremendously, as it
would bring to the side of the allies the
wealth and resources of the richest ma
ton in the world at the present time.
| That in itself, even il the United States
should not contribute an army or its
navy to the actual conflict, would be a
terrible handicap for the central powers
to overcome, because all of them are now
said to be verging on bankruptcy in their
efforts to prosecute the war. War credit
after war credit has been floated in all
of them; and even wealthy Germany is
reported to be hard put to it to meet the
interest charges on the loans already
made. Moreover, when the last great
loan was hoated in Germany the asser-
ton was made as an inducement to in
vestors that it would be the last call for
money. On the strength of that promise
the imperial government raised another
huge fund for the continuance of the
war, The moral effect of another appli /
cation after having stated there would I
be no other request for money would be
very bad, indeed, especially if the United
States should be drawn into actual con
fict against Germany, The imperial gov
eminent at Berlin realizes, no doubt, the
marked impetus to the credit of the en-
tente allies which would be lent by the
adhesion of the United States to that
side of the conflict That as much as
ANYTHING else was calculated to bring
the feeling of depression which is said to
have come upon the German people fol-
lowing the news of the breaking off OF
diplomatic relations between their gov
eminent and the government of the
United States Themselves facing bank
ruptcy and the turn OF the war getting
further and further away from them,
they will regard the entry of the United
States government as an ominous sign |
Of ultimate disaster The credit OF the
United States government in itself might /
be the last straw to break the back of
Germany, the buIwark of the central
powers.

the government, which has imperative
need of moving war equipment, and later
perhaps large bodies of soldiers. 1t is to
be expected, however, that the patriotism

ment would not permit them to indulge
in any action which would handicap the
nation seriously in its efforts to prepare
