"Let US modernize the apron-strins
make IL long, strong and lasting"
j.. .-.r.. .-@ The Ranger.

The real appreciation, of apron
strings comes after we have made the
blighting mistakes from which they
might have saved us.
A friend said that to me the other
day, and We talked 1t oyer-much as
I'll talk 1t over with you-on paper.
We agreed that between Is and 20

we had followed them more closely.
Apron strings are all right, said my
friend, but, like corsets and cos
metics, they should not be too obvious.

several agreements. It Is no secret
that the only breach looked for was
supposed to come from German influ-
nee
Now, If developments lead to a
clash between Sweden and the allies.
there can hardly be any doubt that
an attempt will be made to seize DEM
mark and Norway. h attempt would
easily become successful because a
German invasion could take place SIM
~ultaneously with p Swedish move be-
fore any Of the allied powers could
get time to succor Denmark or Nor
way.
It Is Germany's Chance.
Recently, illuminating documents
have been published in this country
and abroad showing that Kaiser Will
telegrams Ito his cousin In the Winter
Palace, discussing the possibility and
feasibility OF invading Denmark, Many
observers agreed that a better oppor-
tunity presented itself than
when one of the northern nations
should prove hostile to the two others;
The hour may soon strike unless the
explanations due from the Stockholm
government will be satisfactory.
With Sweden as an ally and with
Denmark-Norway conquered, Ger
many would attain the complete con-
troll OF the Baltic sea and of the en-
to the Baltic, and such a stu
alton would obviously diminish the
chances OF victory for the allies. The
danger to Great Britain Is
readily apparent.
1t may thus be expected that the
allies will not content themselves with
being idle spectators to the future
happenings in Scandinavia, but 1t may
also be that Germany will act in con-
junction with Sweden much sooner
than Is generally anticipated.

HI E d INCIDENT

German diplomacy, with its evasions, its insincer-
lily and its treachery, is likely to add another to the
nations at war with Germany, for Argentina is not likely
sGerman representative accredited to her government,
and the German Office with which he was in communica-
ton.
The incident may also involve Sweden in a number
of complications. War is one of the possibilities for
Sweden, and that nation may be called on to choose
whether she will enter the war as a beligerent on the
side of Germany or Of the allies.
But, whatever other results flow from the exposure,
lit is likely to have a profound influence on the rela-
lions between the Swedish people and the Swedish gov
eminent. The queen of Sweden was born and reared
ia German, and she is German, not alone in her sympa-
lthies but in her activities. She has. ever since the be-
ginning of the war, used her position to the extent of
her ability to promote the cause of her native land.
Sweden is in spirit a pretty democratic country, and
position which she holds into a mere piece of machinery
for theAkaiser is not likely to be relshed by Swedes who
have respect for their country. Stranger things have
happened than would be the declaration of a Swedish
republic as a result of the intrigues of the German queen
of Sweden. -
The kaiser's Influence has not thus far been whole

to be placed in the position of lackeys to the
German emperor, and it would not be strange If the
king of Sweden were to Join them in their exile from

try to pay the penalty with his life, is
the opinion Of many people here to-
day.
That he was a member Of the Ger
man spy system. and an active one, is
the statement alleged to have been
made by Fritici today in the county
jail to Roy o. Samson. head Of the
department of Justice. according to
the government officer.
Fhtci was taken in custody after
he had crossed the border near
Calexico, and had attempted to kill
the customs officer who arrested him,
according to Samson. He was sub
dued only after, a desperate battle in
which the officer knocked a pistol
from his hand.
While making the alleged admission
he defied the officer to obtain evidence
that would lead to his conviction on a
charge Of being q spy, it is said.

THE NEW LIBERTY LOAN

North Dakota's share of the new Liberty Loan is to
be four million dollars. Four million is quite a sum-, but
the three billions which are to be raised in this manner
at this time is quite a sum, too. And in these days we
are dealing in billions and must become accustomed to It.
But the individual is not specially concerned with the
totals. What interests him is the sum that he will be re-
quired to account for in order that the state may do its
share. On the basis of a state population of 700, 000r the
amount assigned to North Dakota is about 5000 per
capita. Estimating five persons to the family. the appor-
tionment is one Of $4,000 per family. That does no. seem
SO large.
There are, of course. PERSONS who will be unable to
subscribe. But there are many others who are willing
and able to subscribe for considerable amounts. SO that
the proportion can be maintained.s
AS with the first issue Of war bonds. a subscription
to this loan is not a donation. It is ndt a tax. The pur-
chase of a bond is an investment in the best security that
the world offers today. The principal will be paid without
question, and the bonds will draw interest at q rate equal
to the ordinary savings bank rate.
1t is absolutely necessary that this money be raised.
We cannot conduct a war without money for a score of
purposes. And this war. is one from which the United
States could not remain aloof and hold up it's head there
after. Ta ~

REGlSTRATIO OF DOLLARS
The suggestion has been made t

Inc suggestion has been made that as we have reg
istration Of men for military purposes, we should have
registration of income in somewhat the same manner,
and that the incomes should then be taxed to raise the
entire cost of government. The suggestion seems to
have been intended as a companion to the catch phrase,
transcription of wealth" In support of it we are re-
ferred to the fact that our present methods Of taxation
are based largely on guess work, that they are inequit-
able, complicated and expensive, whereas If all public
funds We're raised by the taxation of incomes,\we would
simplify the business of collecting revenues and would
arrive at better results with less trouble.
One trouble with this, as with all revolutionary
plans for the conduct Of affairs of government is that
it represents a too radical departure from established
customs to 0 acceptable to people who prefer to move
slowly. ForHsome reason we seem to prefer to do many
things indirectly. Perhaps one reason is why we nave
adopted the customs Of leyying taxes indirectly Is that
when the tax is indirect there is a less acute realization
that taxes are being paid. Taxes on production and taxes
on distribution are paid by the consumer. But the tax
is paid as a part Of the price of the goods, and the con-
sumner seldom stops to figure what proportion Of his
money is going for the goods themselves and what for
taxes. as$

from military service was granted

actor. The affidavits included those
from physicians asserting that Mrs.

of moving picture concerns asserting
that she had no contract with their

Ralph O.. Proctor, a government

had investigated the actors financial
affairs and found that $500 repre-
sented his savings. To offset this, there
was an unpaid debt of $4,000.

Something approaching the ideal system Of taxa
ton would contain three general elements. There would
be first a tax on land values; second, franchise taxes;
income and inheritance taxes. But for the pres
emit we are going to middle along with our conglonaera-
ton of all the systems ever Invented because most OF us
resent direct taxation.
So far as the matter OF registration goes, there is
nothing new in the suggestion, for the principle is all
ready in operation. Every man whose income falls
within taxable limits is required to make very specific
returns as. to the amount of his income and its sources,
and on that basis he is taxed.
