Flag DaY. 1917.

The United States finds itself deep
in a war against Kaiserism on this
Flag Day OF 1917. The Stars and
Stripes has never before known such
day.
We have Haunted our emblem in the
face Of the Prussian black eagle, and
we have not haInted It in vain. 1t Is
going to be carried to victory. Berlin
may not yet know. this, but Americans
do.I They are not raising any hug
5ahs or banzais about It, but they are
hrm and serene in their knowledge
that the United States, with the other
nations that are carrying the defense
OF civilization into its nnal stages, will
conquer the outlawed enemy across
the seas.
This Flag Day comes Just as we have
passed the threshold Of war. Our eye
lids are not yet heavy with the
tragedy Of It all; our blood has not
yet been offered on the altar Of the
cause. The nag that we honor Is not
yet held aloft over the trenches, does
not yet cast its shadow ever No Mans
Land. But. God willing. It soon wifi
bel That much is certain; and in
every patriotic address made today

War Profits and Munitions Profits.

By all means Congress should i'm
pose q war tax on excess war profits,
but first it should know what 1t is
taxing. What is the definition Of ex-
cess war profits?
Are these profits to be measured by
prices Of things which have advanced
because OF the war? Everybody, al
most. has been participating in war
profits, and If Congress isn't careful
everybody who produces anything
which has been sent abroad will be
required to pay into the Treasury an
excess war profits tax. II It be wheat
the farmer must pay an excess war
profit. Wheat in 1913 was s. cents a
bushel 1t is now kicking around s.. 30
II 1t Is footwear the shoe manufac-
turers must pay an excess war profits
tax since the price of boots and shoes
has advanced because Of the war quite
fifty per cent. If 1t is pork the farm
er must pay again. He got for his
hogs IS in 1913 and is now getting SIS
while the packer who sold pork for
s23 in 1913 is now selling it for 81
II II is steel the manufacturer must
pay because steel billets were worth
80 in 1913 and are now worth $T5.
Now, the question that arises is,
Shall there be tax only on that
portion Of American products export
ed or on the entire output? But the
taxer rises up and says You are stu
pidly wrong. We do not want to tax
these things, only munitions" Why
not say so, then? OF course any Con-
gresham might be willing to tax the
bootmaker and steel-producer, but he
would as soon think OF reducing his
own pay as to tax wheat or hogs
All OF which shows the absurdity of
the system of taxation which would
place the whole cost OF the war on
excess war profits, on incomes and
strong drink.
Well, how much profit do the pro-
posers Of the excess war profits tax
expect TO find? How many Of the
great concerns which took munitions
contracts have realized great profits &?
A few Of them have benefited enor-
mously, but most Of them are sorry
they ever undertook to fill war con-
tracts. The talk OF raising any very
large revenue by imposing a tax OF
% 1-S per cent on excess profits is
absurd. Mand of these Improbable
concerns are now equipped and ready
to fill contracts for the United States
and It is a good thing for the army
that they are in existence, but talk
of extra taxes will surely discourage
the promoters and drive them into
some other business. These concerns
should be encouraged, not forced to
draw their fires.
Tax incomes, tax luxuries, tax ex-
eessiVe profits, but apply the rule OF
common sense in our raising OF war
revenue.

R.aH.e We Are at Warl

In an enort to further the rule OF
preparation for high efficiency dur
ing the war The Herald would like
to make q suggestion for q fun and
frank interchange Of views between
those charged by the President with
some Of the most important work and
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, which Is still muddling along in
the old rut over the pressing ques-
ton Of granting the railroads an in
crease of freight rates.
Congress Is Just now debating the
bill which brings the railroads under
the government in all their opera
tions, which empowers the govern
menta to commander the railroads.

suggestion Of relief for the railroads.
Now why should not the Council OF
National Defense, accompanied by
Mr.. Daniel Willard, who Is in charge
of transportation; Mr.. Howard E.
Coffin, who Is in charge Of manufac-
turing, and Mr.. Walter s. Clifford, the
director OF the council and the ad-
visory commission, make a call on
the Interstate Commerce Commission
with a view to clearing up some ques-
tions which seem to be ignored?
Il seems important that the war
board, II such 1t can be called, should
tell the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion that when the war broke out the
English government took over the
railroads and made arrangements
which has resulted in their being
operated at a profit They have had
to provide facilities and this was
looked after by the government. II
seems important that this informa-
tion should be laid before the Inter.
state Commerce Commission, together
with the statement Of Mr.. Howard
Elliot that conditions in transporta.
ton are going to become worse In,
stead OF better, which may have the
effect Of breaking the ice so that in.
creased rates can be granted and the
railroads prepare for the additional
traffic which must be moved.

Of the Illinois manufacturers, voiced
by Mr.. John NJ. Glenn, that the in,

board which is the autocrat Of trans
