DAY or REVOLUTIONS PAST
Education Must Take the Place Of the
Antlquated Methods Of Making
Changes IN Government.

The machine gun and the high ex-
plosive shell have ended the days OF
successful revolutions. according to
Stanley J. weyman, the English au-
thor Of "The House of the Wolf" "a
Gentleman Of France" and Under the
Red Robe" According to Mr.. Wey-
mans view no rebellion by the peo-
pie can ever hope to be successful In
the larger nations now.

old days naked hands and makeshift
weapons could prevail IL fury lent
strength and numbers we're sufficient.
But today, when half dozen machine
guns, handled by twice as many ex-
merits, can NOW down hundreds In
minute; when even n single high-ex-
plosive shell can wreck half a village,
when everything that has to do with
these weapons, with the munitions
that feed them, and the airplnnes that
guide them, is technical TO degree,
of what avail are the scattered rifles
and barbados of the people, the regi-
ments hastily levied and scantily
armed? OF none. Before the muzzles
of a few machine guns the toilers of
Client and Liege and Antwerp, cities
famed in the past for their turbulence,
are hurried into slavery well-nigh I'M

"For they know resistance to be
hopeless. And so it is, and must be.
As long as mere handful of men
trained in the use of these engines
remains faithful, despotism may sit
secure, be the people never so impa-
tient. Only from outside, only by the
use of equal weapons, only by other
nations, can the yoke be broken and
the people be freed"

GREAT RANCH IN MAKING
ON KISSIMMEE ISLAND

The Consolidated Cattle company,
Which is affiliated with the Consolidat-
ed Land company of Jacksonville, now
has under way what promises to be
the largest single cattle ranch under
taking in the state.
The company has purchased very
large acreage on Kissimmee Island:
said to aggregate Approximately 200,-
900 acres, and it is said will endeavor
to acquire practically all the area of
Kissimmee Island, which contains
something like 100000 acres.
Operations for the establishment OF
the ranch already are under way.
Eleven carloads of bulls, each regis
tered thoroughbred, have been pur-
chased in Texas and are now in tran
sit.
The company will devote its atten-
ton to the raising of high grade beef
cattle, and will aim to improve beef
breeds in this section by the importa-
ton of blooded stock for some time

Avenue for Greatest Aid.
After Mr.. Eustace and Mr.. Clark had
been called to Washington by Chair
man Denham, of the shipping board,
and the board decided to take up the
plan, Mr.. Enstace decided to interest
Gen. Gcethals and went to place the
situation before him. The canal build
er Immediately seized upon the plan as
the one way by which the United
States could do most to aid the allies
in defeating Germany. Then General
Goethals was told the board wished
him to take charge of the work. Re-
luctant at first to leave his post in
New Jersey, the general finally was
convinced the nation needed him,
Gen. Goethals was chosen to head
the work, it was explained tonight,
for three feasons-his capacity, his
German descent and as a testimonial
to the loyalty of American citizens of
Teutonic extraction, and because he
is considered the one man in the Unit
ed States most offensive to Germany.
Germany, it has been said, has never
forgiven the man who constructed the
canal when German experts said it
could not be accomplished.
In their efforts to persuade Gen.
Goethals to take charge of building
the ships, it was pointed out that he
probably would spend before the war
was over as much or more than was
expended in building the canal.

j. S. CONGRESS
PLANS FOR A
LARGE WAR TAX
LIQUORS, CIGARS AND THEA
TRES MAY HAVE TO BEAR
A SHARE

Washington, April 1.-THE first big
question before congress in connection
with war finances is what amount Of
revenue shall be raised by immediate
taxation. The generally accepted
plan has been to divide equally the
cost of the first year of the war,
roughly estimated at from 1880, 000,-
900 to 100000, 900, between bonds
and taxes, but the president has ex-
pressed himself as DESTROYS of placing
as much of the burden on the present
generation as possible, and some men,
bers of congress are advocating the
raising of rs per cent of the first year
needs by taxation.
No Glass Taxation
Administration and congressional
leaders generally are determined that
the tax shall not be of class charac-
ter regardless of the amount. History,
they say, shall not designate this as
either poor or a rich mans war.
House financial authorities are care
fully considering proposals to raise
new revenue on increased income and
stamp taxes of excess profits, inheri-
tances, distilled liquors and beers,
cigars and tobacco, amusement places,
the postal service, soft drinks, and
newspaper, billboard and other adver-
Using.

Millions on Liquors.
Liquors and beers probably will be
taxed millions of dollars, and soda
fountains and other soft drink dispen-
saries, including the "near beer" par
lors, are virtually certain to be assesses
ed "a share. Members of the commit
tee are considering taxing places OF

ORGANIZE $4,000 COMPANY
TO BUILD WOODEN SHIP FLEET

Washington, April 1.-The admin
istration's program for building O
vast fleet of wooden cargo ships to
transport supplies to the allies and
thus defeat the German submarine
campaign will be put definitely under
way Monday, when the shipping board
will form $50,000,00O corporation to
build and operate the vessels.
The corporation will be organized
under the laws of the District of Co
lumbia, and its entire stock will be
held by the shipping board. In legis-
lation to be introduced in congress
early in the week the board will ask
authority to increase the stock in the
future, If needed, to as much perhaps
; as 1925 100000. For the present the
$50,0O0,000 will suffice.
Private shipyards will construct the
ships on standardized plan adopted
by the shipping board on a basis in
most instances of 10 per cent profit.
Some contracts will be let for specified
sums. The board probably will finance
some yards, although private capital
already is offering millions for con-
struction Of the vessels.
Goethals to Take Charge.
Major General Goethals, who at the
direction of President Wilson, has
agreed to supervise building of the
ships, will come to Washington to
take charge Of the work as soon as he
can arrange to leave his task Of build
ing New Jersey highways. E. A. Eus-
taco, a Boston mining engineer, who,
with F. Huntington Clark, a New
York engineer, conceived the ioea Of
wooden ship fleet, probably will be as
ISOLATED with him.
The law creating the shipping board
provides for a corporation the major
ity of whose stock must be held by
the board. Its directors will be en-
,epNyes of the board, who will elect
@+he;;r own officers. Gen. Geethals prob
ably will be elected general manager
of the corporation, and Mr.. Eustace,
.swfe as "a ehalsye of the board, will
receive a salary of one dollar a year,
and Mr.. Clark, directors.
The 100000 tons of German shipping
taken over by the government with
the declaration of war undoubtedly
viii be put under the corporation, as
will the Austrian ships now in custody
of the United States. The general
opinion is that the German ard Aus
TRAN owners will be paid for their use
during the war, and for the ships
themselves if they are lost or are re-

Probably the most far-reaching pro-
posal yet suggested is that the postal
charges be raised. It has been pro-
posed that the present one-cent rate
for drop and circular letters be raised
to one and half or two cents and the
regular two cent rate to three. No
tax suggested, it is argued in favor of
this proposal, would reach so many
persons and be objected to by so few.
In connection with this postal plan is
another to tax newspapers and period
icals in proportion to the amount of
advertising they carry.
Suggestion that cold storage foods
be taxed heavily also is receiving much
discussion. It is argued that this
would serve to bring in revenue and
at the same time discourage the OPP
