THE WAR TAX QUESTION

The American Committee on War
Finance. with a view of remedying the
age-old burden of war taxes, IS sup
norting a movement that should place
the burden where is can best be
borne.
The plan for levying a tax of 2 per
cent upon annual incomes in excess
of $4,000 for unmarried persons and
$4,000 for married ones will go far
toward saving the poor man from the
additional burden that falls upon him
in wartime. The poor man usually
does the nations fighting. 1t is not
lust that he should bear the brunt
of taxation also. Under the proposed
plan no person can retain net in
come of more than 100000 a year,
the excess going to the Government.
The further plan of having legisla-
ton to restrict prices upon necessi-
ties of life during the war, so tiat ex-
cessive profits cannot be made will
be a blow to food monopolizers and
grafters.

received from Columbia. To meet the
minimum requirements of the desti-
tute exiles in these lands, who are
wholly dependent upon American char
tiles, a proportionate share from Co
lumbia of $685. would be necessary
each month, he writes.
At the suggestion of Ambassador

point a committee that will be re-
sponsible for securing from the citi-
zens the proportionate amount needed

Association of Pittsburgh at the an

function in Pittsburgh. Professor De-
foe met former Missouri men there
whom he had not seen for twenty
seven years. Missouri songs from the

cences of the old days at Missouri
were related by the alumni. Profess
sor Defoe spoke on James s. Rol-

and physical fitness is one mode OF

to quick thinking and skill, both OF
which are assets not only in the per-
iod of a crisis, but in everyday exis-
tence
Military training is necessary in
time of war, yet it is the physically
normal man who is most wanted by
all of the branches of the nations
service BY the. abolition of ath-
,etics the opportunity of many to
prepare their physical selves to meet
such demands are lessened
Major-G General Leonard Wood. now
in the command of the Department of
the South, in a recent talk before
the student body of an eastern college
strongly urged the carrying out of
all athletic programs and the contin-
uance of athletic training. His Ieas-
Ons were those of physical fitness.
Patriotic enthusiasm fills a great
need in the time of national tur-
moil, but it should not be permitted
to run riot. There is no reason why
the University of Missouri or any
other institution should abolish ath-
letics and cancel its athletic programs
at the present time.
Military training need not be ne
elected for athletic pursuits. for there
is time for bOth-they can be made

Are University Men Slaekersi

Editor the Missourian: In a letter
addressed to the Kansas City Star and
reprinted in the Daily Missourian an
anonymous University Man" takes
the Missouri athletes severely to task
for voting to remain in school and
play baseball, and he also calls the
men of the student body "slackers" be-
cause thus far they have not enlisted
in larger numbers. This enthusiastic
patriot, who does not mention being
an enlisted man or a member Of the
National Guard, bewails the fact that
mot one man in ten of the students
in the University of Kansas has en-
listed"
1t is also true that of the able-bod-
led young men of the United States
corresponding in age to university
students not more than one in forty
has enlisted. 1t is granted that the
university man is under especial OBJ
legations to serve his country, but in
doing so it is perfectly legitimate for
him to serve it in the capacity designa-
ted by the Government and where he
will be the most useful. General
Leonard Wood, the man who should
know as much as any man in the
country regarding the military situa-
ton and the need for immediate re-
cruits, advised in no uncertain terms
university and college students to
complete the present semester's work.
There is no body of young men in
the United States more sincerely and
sanely patriotic than the university
and college students, and when the
proper time comes they will respond
to the call to arms-possibly in an ev-
en- larger proportion than will the
brave contributors to the public press.
The use of the term "slackers" car
ries with it too grave an indictment
to be indiscriminately and hastily
used.

THE SPENDER A SLACKER

He who willfully wastes his energy
and his resources in the present crisis
is as unpatriotic and as much of a
Stacker as the man who refuses to do
his bit" in the military and naval
branches of the Government when
needed.
ANY man who employs labor at this
time for the production of anything
not for the benefit of human society
is, in my opinion, an unpatriotic citi-
zen," said Frank A. Vanderlip, one of
the nations most prominent financiers
and president of the National City
Bank of New York, at a bankers
luncheon held recently in Chicago. IF
we, as individuals and as a ton,
are wise, we will start right now on
practicing economy in every way.
This should apply to the rich man
with the same emphasis as to those
not in wealthy circumstances"
The nation has lately assumed the
responsibility of the worlds greatest
war appropriation, $1,000 ,OO0, 900. The
food supply of the United States is
comparatively low, and warnings are
being issued telling of its conditions.
In the face of such circumstances as
these, the people of the nation must
point an accusing finger at the spend
er. He is wasting that which is val
liable to every individual and that
which may soon be of the utmost i'm
portance to the United States.
By his thoroughness or his perni-
cious carelessness, the spender is en-
dangering the nation to which he owes
his present state of being By his
actions he is demonstrating his utter
lack of patriotic sentiment and re-
gard for his nations honor and well
fare-he is Stacker.
Spending does not necessarily mean
that of money but also of food, labor
and energy. All must be conserved to
be expended wisely at the time need
ed and when called for by the nation
The truth of the statement cannot
be dodged-the spender is a Stacker.
