GIVING SONS AND LOANING
MONEY
BY GRACE ELLERY CHARMING,
Author.

A loan asked in the name of Liberty
should need no urging upon people
about to fight for her. We are giving
our sons: we are only asked to lend
our money. That money is imperative
if the gift of the nations youth is
not to be in vain. Every dollar sub
Scribed is an addition to their force.
Every name subscribed is an addition
to the force Of the whole Allied cause.
Twenty millions Of Americans sub
Scribing hundred million dollars
means to Europe infinitely more than
one million Americans subscribing
double that sum. A national loan
should be an expression of the ma
tiOnal solidarity. The millions of our
boys are marching from all parts of
America, from the rich homes and the
poor homes; there are homes so rich
that. they have given seven sons to
America there are homes where there
has been one only SOn-and he has
been given; so it should be with the
millions of our dollars; from every
home according to its capacity. Those
who long to give greatly and can give
but little-and there are multitudeS
Such-have here their opportunity, for
in giving that little to the Liberty
Loan they can double it by the addi-
zion of the immense moral weight
each additional subscriber brings to
the cause of liberty itself.
/ said we are giving our sons,
lending our money; rather let us say
that we give, under whatever form,
our money, as much as may be re-
Quired of uS,-in the last emergency,
all we have,-in order that our sons,
insofar as possible, may need only to
be lent-not given; but also (and this
above alD to ensure the triumph of
the cause for which they give them
selves and for which nothing, not even
these, is too much to give.
If "Who gives to the poor, lends to
the Lord" who lends to Liberty as
Suredly gives TO God.

AN APPEAL TO THE AMERICAN
FARMER

Citizenship in a republic is charged
with grave responsibilities. One OF
these is that men shall bear arms in
support of the principles upon which
the government rests. Another JIM
peratiye obligation is that financial
support shall be vouchsafed to the
country when it takes up arms in self
defense. All over this country men
are rushing to the colors in response
to an imperative decree. To select
men for great army and then with
hold financial support would be SUI
preme folly.
In order to finance the present war
the government has outlined plan of
procedure. Immense sums Of money
will be raised from q tax on incomes,
in extending the internal revenue sys-
TEN and in making demands upon
great business enterprises under the
title of corporation taxes.
Another method Of providing reve-
nue. is the sale Of government bonds in
small denominations, SO that their dis
tributiOn will be among the common
people, who regard ownership not only
as good investment, but also as a
patriotic duty. Under this popular
plan the farmers have great oppOr-
tunity to make safe investment in a
financial way and at the same time
render our common country a patri-
otto service.
In the issue Of Liberty bonds last
July many farmers missed a great OPP
pOrtunity by not investing in this pop
ular financial plan. Another bond is
sue is being fIoated These bonds are
not subject to taxation, as are moneys
and credits, and they will draw 4 per
cent interest, payable Semi-annually,
which makes an unusually attractive
investment.
Government bonds are as good as
gold. The need Of this issue is inn
perative. This war must be fought to
a speedy and glorious termination.
The soldier boys are in the field. A
patriotic obligation rests upon those
who have the means to invest in gov
eminent securities. In the days Of
their prosperity farmers should be de-
lighted for such an opportunity as is
presented in the second bond issue.

Postal Flln1-Flo,p

Rank hypocrisy is what the st. Paul
Daily News characterizes the propo-
sltion to reduce the first-class postage
rate to cent, on the ground that it will
be saving to the common people.
The saving in such a cut to the average
person would be so small that it would
amount to practically nothing, but
would, on the contrary shift the burden
to the common people much OF the
expense of the big mailing houses, es-
pecially the mail order houses and the
stock jobbers. To meet the reduction
in revenue congress proposes to empower
the post office department to increase the
rate on newspapers, magazines and
other publications, which eventually
would come out of the very common
people whom the statesmen down at
Washington hypocritically pretend they
are anxious to protect. With the present
and increasing high cost of production
the publishers would be obliged to in
crease the subscription rate, shifting the
added cost upon their readers.
: ut is simply another scheme, the
News says, thru which big business
seeks to make the people carry part OF
it's expenses ~.

Declare Against A Pepper Mall

The Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association, at it's meeting at Bra1nerd
last week, declared against the publishers
forming cooperative corporation Tor
the purpose of manufacturing print
baper for the use OF the members and
also opposed the proposition that the
state engage in the manufacture OF that
rcoduct in competition with the paper
trust. At least that is what the following
resolution, adopted at the meeting
amounts to:
''The Northern Minnesota Editorial
Association does not deem it advisable
that the publishers Of Minnesota shall
engage in cooperative paper mill
enterprise or that the state OF Minnesota
shall engage in such an enterprise at this
time"
: Those same editors will probably go
back home and howl about the high cost
of paper, and write long-winded editorials
whining about what the 'rotten paper
trust is doing to the publishers.

Welcome The Boys Home

New Ul1n today will welcome home
her returning soldiers. True, they
haven't seen much warfare while camped
on the Mexican border, but they have
dcne their duty and are entitled to the
same welcome, the same honors and the
same consideration as if they had been
in the trenches and spilled their good
red blood for their country.
The Second regiment was called TO
the front, and responded without a
faltering voice. When they left Tor the
south it was the generally accepted belief
that they were to be plunged into battle
at any time. They were ready to light
for their country should it become
necessary. .
At best they gave up their positions
at home made great personal sacrifices
in promptly responding, without a
whimper, when called to the colors.
New Ulm proposes today to show the
members of the regiment who went from
this: city and vicinity that she is glad to
see her boys back, and that their home
coming is appreciated.
They were given a hearty God-speed
when they marched away. They W1il
be accorded just as enthusiastic recep-
ton on their return. -.

Both Plans WouldBe Unjust

Judge Gary is credited with having
suggested that the exemptions for levylng
the income tax be lowered. 1t is said
that Gary claims the present exemption
of so. 900 for heads OF families and $4,000
for individuals is unjust, declaring that
only two and half per cent OF the
people of the United States are subject
to the tax. The Chicago Herald thinks
that if the exemption were reduced to
$1,000 or 81 500 it would be the means
of stimulating popular interest in the
national government.
Both suggestions are entirely unjust.
The smaller the income the larger por-
ton that is spent; the POOR or the people
with small incomes are compelled to
spend practically all they get to come
: out even at the end of the year. 1t IS a
well-known fact that all products OF
labor are now taxed, and some OF them
several times; hence the poor and persons
4 of small incomes are paying a larger
part of their income in taxes than the
rich and those of large incomes.
AS for the second suggestion, that is
one of the most ridiculous Of any ever
yet advanced. Referring to that The
Public very aptly puts it:
's"The Herald's suggestion that a small
tax would stimulate public interest II
the national government, is not unlike t V

FEDERAL AID FOR BROWN

County Auditors Association at st.

which expect to receive any great amount
OF money from the federal aid fund Tor

The state highway commissioner ex-
planned to the auditors present at the
meeting, the plan Of distributing the
fund.- said M. Vogel. II could see
but very little chance for Brown county
to benefit from the governments con-
tribution. Last year there was $4,000
in the fund, and we got nothing for this
county. This year the amount has been
increased to $2S4,OO0, and if that were
equally divided among all Of the eighty
four counties in the state, we each would
get. something, but it wont be split UP
in that way. In my opinion the money

Editor, the Open Forum:

in the introduction Of the Open Forum
that no subject except religion would be
barred and that discussion of all topics
except that would be welcomed. l have
wondered, however, if this statement
might not be misconstrued slightly and
believe it has been, Judging from the
nature of the articles which have thus
far appeared. By this / mean that it
seems to be taken for granted that it is
necessary for one who writes for the

all right; it is well and good but it must
to be really effective, be constructive and
not destructive criticism. I sincerely
hope the Open Forum will not be re-

called, for. some fancied slight or injury.

While there is a deep-seated objection
in our opinion to the commercializing
of vice by the moving picture industry,
it seems to us that the committee who
censored the film. of the Little Girl
Next Door" pursued the right course
when they approved Of allowing it to be
shown. Any person more than Is
years Of age whose morals can be injured
by such pictures are already so immoral
that the damage done would be negligible
and there, is a chance thatssome young
girl may be saved from company that
would lead her away from her own good.
The picture shown recently, SIS Any
Girl Safe" was certainly lesson for
parents and guardians who leave their
young people in ignorance Of the pitfalls
dug by the depraved to catch the ig-
norant, and if the Little Girl Next
Door" teaches a like lesson it is quite
possible that the good done will offset
the evil of the appeal made to those who
view the picture for other reasons.

The Springfield Advance last week,
entered upon the thirty-frst year Of its
existence. Nearly one-haE of the thirty
years that the Advance has been pub
lished it has been under the editorial and
business control of it's present editor and
proprietor, w. F. Mailer, and in all that
time has maintained it's present reputa-
ton for cleanness and liveliness as a
newspaper. Mr.. Mailer sets an example
in country Journalism which many Min
nesota newspapers might follow, with
profit to their owners and readers.
The LIE Sueur News takes the farmers
who live in the Minnesota valley in that
vicinity, to task for ignoring the food
control conference held in this city two
weeks ago. The News says: tsThese
meetings are held for some purpose and
the people living in the valley are the
ones directly interested It is possible
that if the News had taken a little more
interest in the matter and called the
attention of its readers to the coming
meeting greater interest might have
been aroused in subject that is of
such vital interest to them. We don't
recall having seen any mention of the
meeting in the columns in the News
before it took place.

The best plan for equalizing taxes
would be for Congress to exercise it's
Constitutional right, and levy upon the
States whatever amount it may need,
and leave to them the duty of getting
it from the people. You can trust the
citizens to being interested in Federal

If there is any valid reason why the
people with small incomes should be
more unduly taxed then they are at
