Meeting War Expenses

In the consideration of questions which seem simple we after all do great deal of groping Eminent men differ widely and wonder that other eminent men do not they do, it all so simple, uncom plicated and one-sded.
 The Wall Street Journal thus discusses the two ways of raising money meet expenditures:
 It is and plausible to speak of the apportionment of the burden of war between the present generation and the ones to come, as though the fair share of each easily ascertainable and though with consistent perversity warning nations have always transferred the economic load to pos terity Wars heaviest losses cannot be postponed transferred to a coming distant generation. Withdrawal of forty millions, possibly fifty millions the efficient workers from production curtais the output of present and not of future economic wealth. Some billions of dollars in value of steel iron copper oil coal and food stuffs have been eX- pended in the development of natural resources industry organized and perfected to the highest degree of ingenuity for the sole of destroy ing other products from natural resources.
 A coming generation will from steel construct thousand ships thousand blows This enter prise will create a demand for another thousand ships and another thousand blows. Trade, in times of peace. creates wealth almost as rapidly as created Its principal burden is therefore on the present generation It's heaviest losses fall almost entirely those who engaged in it. There is effort and labor abnormaly energized a thousand fold. The very soil is placed under forced draught Economists have yet devise means of defraying the pecuniary of out of present income.
 The very destruction of the productive wealth of the present generation is the source and handspring of the prosperity that will follow.
 Trade revival did not await the termination of the Napoleonic wars, but anticipated it. Prosperity of the following generation directly traceable to the great burdens and losses sustained during the conflict.
 Decentralization of state and private credit, loss of private forune costly readjustment of the entire industrial system, burden sustained almost solely by the North and by the South during the Civil War. New enterprises eager to discount the present, organized and gave vitality to a new commercial spirit before the surrender of Lee The economic benefits of the the replacement of destroyed wealth. the manufacture of productive pro duets profits enjoyed for almost two genera tionS afterward
 It is idle speak of sparng the coming and benefl- cary generations. In modern times the burden of has sligty the renewed industry which followed There is both justice and economic neces- sity in placing the bulk of the monetary burden of the present generation which 1ncurs all of the real losses but the coming generation which should pay at least nominal value for the prosperity and security which those sacrifices have brought it.

He of fers to present to the first aviator of the American flying corps who will drop bombs into Berlin $1 900 Liberty bond. Sake says: Remembrance of the Americans lost on the Lustania prompts make this offer" We think a mean. cowardy and cruel spirit is the impulse
 Of the American airmen we prefer to hold better opinion than that the offer of a Liberty bond can tempt them to rain down destruction and death upon defenseless women and chdren-non- on-co -combatants. of humanity and the recognized rules of civilized others is justification for Americans violating them That others reward such acts with iron crosses decorations and what not furnishes no req son for this country any of it's citizens to dange golden prize for such atrocity before the eyes of the men who venturing their lives in a high and noble cause.
 Ii Sake wants to avenge the Lusitana. let him limit his offer to the punishment those who or dered committed that awful crime. Their place on the roll of infany is already without his Liberty bond. If he wants to encourage American alnen to engage German airmen or to visit destruc- ton as honorable foemen upon actual fighting foe men, his method would be so reprehensible. though it smacks of self glorifcaon and spec tacuiar bombast than of earnest patriotic impulse
 But the way of the kaiser and his advisors and mnions is not the way of the United States of America. Sake seems to have fondness for the former and his $l,O00 Liberty bond deserves some thing better than be used as a disguise for his base sentiments

A SociaIistic Step

New and significant proof of the growth of the socalistc principle in England since the opening of the war is found in the proposed solution of the housing problem which has become acute. Because of the withdrawal of millions of men for the army and navy it natural to suppose that there would be plenty of house But the war which called the men to arms also put end to private building and the result has been a congestion which has reached grave proportions and is steadily growing worse
 The situation has been brought to the attention of the government and parliamentary com- mittee has reported that it will necessary at the end of the war to build not less than 100000 cot tases at cost of l25O 100000 It is proposed that the mu"'cipaites and the government jointly assume the burden, it is utterly beyond the strength of individual effort Under the plan outlined four years priority in the demand for building materials will be given to these workingmen's homes

Need of Saving Gasoline

serious thought in connection with the building of large fleet of American airships which are ex- pected to prove decisive in terminating the war ent use of gasoline these ships will be as useless and idle as a painted ship upon painted ocean" | nless there is rigid conservation shall surely face shortage of the various products petroleum the increasing needs of bateships torpedo boats and destroyers If we to compete with an conquer our enemies every of these agencies must be efficient in the highest degree and one of them will be worth penny without fuel Our petroleum production is great but consumption is greater with the not remote possibility that the supply may be exhausted
 So that it is only the thoughtless who resent the request of the National Council of Defense that the use of gasoluine for joy riding discontinued and only the unpatriotic who will accede to it. The element of humanity enters directly into the ques. ton also for it is obvious that the the bur- den that be borne by fuel machinery and steel the less will have to be carried by the flesh bone and blood of young American manhood
 When the joyrider cranks up for his next long and unnecessary spin let him remember that every time he burns gallon barrel of gasoline his self ish pleasure, he is thrusting the of his own community and of the country exactly that much nearer to the bayonets and mouths of the enemy. With that thought sticking in his mind he will probably not find much enjoyment in his ride
