Of men into military service heavy
responsibilities fall upon the Red
Cross in its relation to the army and
navy on one hand and the people of
the U. S. on the other. These respon-
sibilities are first to provide assist

TAXES AND BONDS

~ HE Civil War in the Uni
VI ted States was financed
chiefly on the theory thai
posterity should pay the price
First there was a fiat-money
issue of greenbacks-in other
words, forced loan-and
when this initiation became al
arming, the notes were accept
ed in payment for bonds pay
able in coin and drawing
high rate of interest, thus add
ing billions unnecessarily to
the cost Of the conflict
Germany is proceeding in
some such fashion now, but
Great Britain, one of the wisest
and soundest of nations finan-
cially, has adopted the policy
of paying for war as far as pos
sjble by taxation, and, to the
extent that debt is unavoidable,
providing for the interest at
least from current revenues.
Notwithstanding the severe
strain on British capital and
industry, London is still solvent
where as Berlin is submerged
in a currency deprecated and
with bankruptcy at hand, faces
resources almost exhausted.
Conclusive evidence that
Americans have made progress
in their knowledge of finance
is presented in the fact that the
presidents recommendation of
heavy taxation for war pur-
poses has met with cordial APP
provaI in all parts of the coun-
try. There will have to be
bonds, of course, but not in
such amounts as to produce in
flation and recklessness. There
will have to be burdensome
taxes also upon incomes and
profits, but not so onerous, we
nope. as to blight enterprise
and drive capital to cover
More than ever before, we
should in this emergency be
thankful for the Federal Re-
serve System. For war as for
peace that institution can mObi-
iiize our resources. 1t should
be barometer warning us OF
excesses in any direction. The
problem to be met is not taxes

THE WEAKNESS OF THE
VOLUNTEER PLAN

orr HE difficulty encountered
VI in bringing the Third
Oregon up to war
strength illustrates the mis-
take of relying on volunteer
service to bring our fighting

has been made to fill the ranks
Of the regiment. 1t is good
geximent, well equipped under
experienced officers and now
IN actual service. Yet it lacks
several hundred of its neces-
SAry war enrolment.
What is true of the Third
Oregon is probably true of
most of the national guard
regiments throughout the
country. The filling of these
commands is left practically to
chance. Service is not obliga-
tsry on anyone, consequently
few enlist using one excuse or
another for their failure to do

A CHANCE FOR OUR IN
VENTORS

NNNITH America in the war
~ Germany has something
to fear from us aside
from our money, supplies,
army and navy. American in
ventive genius may prove more
disasterous to the kaiser than
all other elements combined.
We have already given the al
lies their caterpillar tank, an
effective weapon of warfare
under certain conditions.
In Thomas A. Edison we
have the greatest electrical in
ventor in the world and he is
reported to be engaged in de-
velopment of ideas that may be
utilized for war purposes.
Many have hopes Edison will
produce something startling.
He may do it.
If the kaiser judged Ameri-
can fighting powers entirely
by the size of our regular army

ing questions or to allow the
soldiers to lead lives in accord
with their individual inclina-
tions.
Under compulsory training
law the country's defence
would not be left to such hap
hazard methods. The govern
ment would know just what
force it could rely upon and
hence could direct its affairs
with more confidence and GER

If the United States is really
going into the war game the
sooner it adopts businesslike
methods the better.

Very probably many English readers
win be puzzled by the intelligence
from New York that a "deaIer in junk"
has been arrested in connection with
the Archangel explosion. The express
sion does not mean that the accused
dealt in kind Of sailing vessel fa-
vored by the Chinese. "Junk," in good
United States, means the kind of lum-
ber which accumulates in a household
and in England would be either thrown
away or handed over to the rag and
bone man. The tendency Of the Amer
ican language is to differ more and
more from ordinary English, explains
the London Globe. Indeed some Of
the stories in the United States could
hardly be understood by the average
Englishman.
