wished he could.

fast that he left his shadow a mile be-

Yes, you don't have to guess again"
cried q voice. and Parson Crow cawed
and hawed, and this made the old lady
maybe so angry that she flew away
and told Prof. Owl that she was q very
much abused person.
Well, after the little rabbit had
hoped for maybe a mile or three, no

The original cost Of the subway

SHALL WAR HAVE WHAT IT MAkEs7

1t is well for Us in our intense patrl-
otism not TO nisjudge the actions Of
senators at Washington who voted
against the war tax bill. Iowas- jun
Tor senator. Kenyon, voted against it.,
while Iowa's senior senator voted for
II. The difference in their votes was
merely matter OF opinion as TO how
high taxes should be on large Incomes
and profits made from war. Kenyon
and the senators who voted no are no
less patriotic than Cumn.ns and the
majority who voted aye. II is highly
probable that the majority were not
satisfied with the bill but concluded
passed.
The main struggle was over the tax
rate upon war profits. England began
the war with tax of so per cent up
on all profits which were in excess OF
later increased that tax to so per cent
and then TO 50 per cent, until in Eng
land today every business man and
corporation can retain only 20 per cent
of that part of his profits which are
In excess of normal pre-war profits.
The senate committee bill as passed
provided for a tax upon war profits
averaging only 81 per cent. Senators
Bora Kenyon, La Toilette and others
struggled 70 take more than third
of profits caused by the war
It was estimated that this country
made four billions in extra profits out
Of this war. Had we taxed war profits
only 80 per cent from the beginning
the full amount OF taxes 70 be raised
by all the schedules of this bill would
new be in the treasury ready for the
costs Of the war which has made prof
its abnormal. A split Of fifty-fifty on
strictly war profits did not seem rad
ica1 nor unjust to the coterie of SEN
ators who made the fight but they
were in hopeless minority.
Il may De true that the judgment
Of the senior senator as to what could
be accomplished in the senate was
sound, but the country at large will
endorse the doctrine. Of the minority
that 80 per cent of profits which war
makes is iiittttIs enough for business to
contribute to the cost Of war. A mil
lion and a half of men are going into
this war to fight. They have left be-
hind many millions Of fathers, unc!es
and brothers who will vote. The poll
tics Of the future is to be controlled
by the veterans Of the war with Ger
many as the politics of the past were
once controlled by the veterans of 81.
The older men are not SO concerned
about this but members of congress
who expect TO meet the issues Of the
future should &c. in line for greater
CONSUMPTION Of profits which war
makes. This war with its taxeating ap-
petite measured by billions cannot last
without war profits giving back more
than 81 per cent II business were
asked to give back all OF its profits
which were In excess Of normal prof
