A TIME FOR TRUE LOYALTY

Property rights are guaranteed to
every citizen of the United States but
the government takes our property for
its own support. No government could
maintain itself if 1t did not have the
power to take. in the form Of taxes,
money from the people to meet the
cost of conducting it. We pay our
money for this purpose freely without
questioning the right of the govern
ment to take it although, superficially
at least the proceeding may be regard
ed as Of confiscatory nature
The reason why we allow the govern
ment to take our money without max
ing any resistance is because we have
expressly delegated to congress the
authority thus to levy and collect
taxes. 1t is written in the organic law
of the nation that congress shall have
power to raise revenues and in the
same document it is just as plainly
provided that congress shall have the
power to declare war The power to
declare war implies the authority to
carry it on. otherwise the provision
authorizing the declaration Of it is
nonsenslcal To say that congress in
waglng war can use only those citizens
who are willing to fight is as foolish
as it would be to assert that taxes can
be collected only from those who vol
unteer to pay them Obviously, the
power to wage war must carry with it
the power to raise armies and this is
the power that has been exercised by
congress in enacting the selective SER
vice law.
The plea set up by some opponents
Of the draft law that it deprives the
citizen of his liberty, establishing
form Of Involuntary servitude, some
thing that was forbidden by the thir-
teenth amendment to the constitution,
is entitled to the same amount of re-
spect as a similar plea in regard to
taking the property Of the citizen
through the taxing power. If such a
contention were valid it would render
the government powerless to maintain
itself-even in case Of invasion it
The Chickasha daily express. (Chickasha, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1899-current, 1917-06-01

would be forced to rely entirely upon
volunteer defenders and If these fail
ed, the nation would fall before the
foreign foe Such plea involves too
many absurdities to merit serious con
sideration.
Any resistance to the selective draft
law should be met with the most in
flexible firmness by local, state and
natiqpal authorities. AT this time the
officers charged with law enforcement
have no more solemn responsibility
before them and no service Of any
greater importance to the country to
perform than to see to it that there is
no evasion Of this law. 1t is certain
that much of the anti-conscription
agitation has been stirred up by Teu-
tonic influences and it is just as GER
tain that the kaiser's cherished hope
is that America will fail to raise an
army Any opposition to the methods
duly adopted by congress for raising
military forces is nothing short of
reasonable and must so be treated.
Sedition and anarchy cannot be toler-
ated for a moment at an hour when
the welfare Of the nation and of demo-
cratic institutions the world over is at
stake. The present emergency calls
for unswerving allegiance and I'M
stinted support of every measure taken,
by our government to carry the war
to a successful conclusion. Every true
patriot will esteem it a privilege to
give to the president and all the con-
stituted authorities of the nation his
loyal, whole-hearted cooperation.

Hundreds of Patrons Flocked

Speaking of the work in general,
Supt Ramey remarked that the pat

them that their school were doing a
very high order of work and he
planned to make the coming year the
best in the history of the schools, as
the added facilities in new buildings
and more room would contribute
