British vessels say nothing of the destruction of

Nsir Edward Carson tells of the silent work of
the British navy according a headline yesterday
morning, but Sir Edwards description specific
enough to carry conviction, especially when it is
coupled with a plea to Englishmen to be patient and
carry themselves under shorter rations during the
period of the submarine blockade He informs Eng
lishmen that hundreds Of German submarines have
been sunk or caught and that while the blockade has
entaled some annoyances it has lacked seriousness
When have these submarines been sunk and cap
tured? And why not the Englishmen informed of
these distinctions and captures at the time? Where
the captured submarines now? Last week Nicholas
Murray Butler of Columbia university in speech at
Pttsburg informed his hearers that he knew "postv-
ely that in British port eighty five cap
tured German submarines and the Deutschland is
among them. according to friend of mine who
it." This is strong statement. All but the Deutsch

is lost, the Germans will quick enough. Con-

people their prowess and denying them OPP

If the English have this big captured fleet of sub
marines Why do they not make of them? If they
did nothing else at they ought let the people
know they have them.

Where the People
May Have Hearing



To the Editor of The Republican. Sir
Win you permit the suggestion that
so vital a subject as taxation shoulo
be approached more in the spirit OF
study and investigation and not so
much that of partisanship as evidenced
in your editorial, The New Tax Com
plicatiOn," appearing in the issue of
Feb. II The question of taxation is
vital because it is one Of the best
known and most easily recognizec
points of contact in the relation of tho
individual to the state.
The fundamental principle of taxa
ton as recognized in modern times, is
payment according to ibility The
nearest approach to the practical appli-
cation OF this principle in public Ii
rance has been along the line of a ta>

There is practically only one class OF
property not reached in an income tax
system and that is the investment in
unused land which, being idle, pro-
duces no revenue. This is reached in
| many countries by an increment tax.
Henry George in pronulgating his
single tax doctrine objected to any tax
en- industry as such, insisting that al.
taxation should fail on land and its
increment and based his argument on
| the proposition that society created
the increment and vas entitled to it.
