FINANCING THE WAR.

The United States is financing itself in this war
by loans and taxes. 1t obtains funds from the
people, some by taxation and some by the sale o.
bonds, and then it goes into the markets and buys
from the people what it needs The people supply
the government with money and the government
with this money buys from the people what it
needs for the war
There are three sources from which the United
States can draw the sinews Of war First is the
fixed property Of the nation. This represents our
FARMS factories mines, railways and all other
property including accumulated savings From
the corpus or body Of none Of these, except the
accumulated savings, will the government obtain
war funds, and even from the accumulated say.
ings it win draw relatively small portion. These
accumulated savings are invested in industries
and business which are necessary to the country's
welfare and prosperity and it is only that portion
Of these savings which are seeking investment
that the government will receive in exchange for
bonds
The second and the great source from which the
government is to derive its war fund is the wealth
produced during the war, Part Of this it will
obtain by taxation and part in exchange for bonds
The annual production of the United States, from,
its FARMS mines, factories, and other sources,
amounts to fifty billion dollars year and out OF
thin fifty billion dollars will come the funds, part
from taxes and part from the sale of bonds, with
which the United States will finance itself during
this war.
BY taxation this generation will pay its portion
Of the cost of the war By the sale of bonds the
next eeAeration is called upon to pay its portion,
and this last portion win be paid from the wealth
production after the war.
BY this method the capital of the country its
sources Of income and wealth, are unimpaired. 1t
10 only the yearly increment of this property that
is called upon to bear portion of the cost of the
war. Thus despite the waste of war and the de-
struction of property involved the country may
emerge from the conflict stronger financially, more
efficient and even Weather than before. What
the government receives it receives from the
people without impairing the sources Of wealth Of
the country, and passes it back to the people in
exchange for the productions of the country. 1t
is in way only shifting of credits.
The government collects the current taxes and
by means of bonds anticipates taxes Of the years
to come, and all the money thus acquired passes
back into the hands of the taxpayers. This is why
governments which follow sound economic meth
DDS not only are not impoverished by wars but
sometimes emerge the stronger as England did
after the Napoleonic wars and the United States
did after our great Civil war.

DEMOCRACY IN WAR TAXATION.

We haven't studied the war revenue measure
upon which the senate is now debating, but the
editor of the New York World has and this is his
comment:
'There are two general features of the revised
war revenue bill reported to the senate yesterday
which particularly arrest attention. The first is
the magnitude of the estimated levy. At $1,000,
$4,000 year it is almost exactly three times the
ordinary receipts of the federal government be-

SPRINGHHL.

Sunday was such a cold day there
was not any service here at all,
though the Rev. Green Thompson
was here as it was his day, but the
day was such bad one he thought
best not to hold any service as the
majority of his members live across
the creek. Mr. s. B. Bond, ST., the
Superintendent of Mt. Hope Mission
airy Baptist Sunday school was at
his post of duty as usual with his
children. The young ladies of the M.
E. Church are busy getting ready for
Xmas exercises and they are hoping
for a grand time. Mrs. Ada Baugaus
had a very mysterious accident to
happen to her house ON last Thurs
day while at her sisters, Mrs. Davis,
her bed in some way caught fire and
burned all of the bed clothing off of
the bed. 1t seems a mystery to every
body how it caught as she did not
have any fire in her house. Mrs.
Baugaus was at her sisters working
in her hog killing as she had her hogs
down there. Mrs. Baugaus lives on
the farm of Mr. Brice Martin and by
the goodness of one of her neighbors,
Mrs. Jenkins and husband, they
broke in the house and saved the
house. Nothing was lost but all OF
her bed clothing. Not even the bed
was burned. Mrs. Baugaus has our
deepest sympathy. Miss Lucinda is
on the sick list this week. There were

by all who knew him. His funeral
was conducted at the Rock Glade
Primitive Baptist Church where he
had been a member for seven years,
where he lived constant Christian
and a devoted member. Mr.. Smith
had been sick for about five years
during this time he bore his suffer-
ing with patience and would often
speak of his readiness for his heaven
ly home. The following ministers
officiated,. DR.. Stephenson of Column
bia, Rev. Albert Jennings, pastor Of
the church Of which Mr.. Smith was
a member, Rev. Manuel Jennings,
Rev. VIM. Jennings and Rev. Whit

ARMY DOCTORS.
Their Great Services to the World and
to Medicine.

Their Great Services to the World and
to Medicine.
War has always had great influence
on medicine, first developing the priest
physician, then the barber surgeon and
later the army medical officer. In war
time Pare devised the igature for ar
teries, although he was not the first to
employ 1t.
Napoleon, who was often at loss to
supply his army with food, made
awards, which, from an empiric and
practical standpoint, developed can
ming and the preservation of food be-
fore bacteria were known.
The American medical profession
will ever be under obligation to our
army medical officers for their services
to the world in the discoveries Of nu-
merous diseases, their causes and pre-
vention, said DR.. Charles II. Mayo In
an address reported in the New York
Medical Journal
Our army medical officers stand pre-
eminent in science. To Beaumont we
are indebted for the first report on d.
gestion, digestive fluids and gastric
movement from direct observation Of a
patient with gastric fistula. To Sur
geOn General William Hammond we
are indebted for the development Of
the army medical museum.
Surgeon ]. s. Billings fostered the
second largest and the best medical
library in the world. Surgeon General
Sternberg discovered the pneumococ-
Gus and founded the army medical
school and the government laboratories
of bacteriology and hygiene. Under
Sternberg's administration Major Wal
ter Reed, with James Carroll, Jesse w.
Lazear and Aristide Agramonte, proved
the mosquito to be the agent transmit
ting yellow fever.
