A good many people in this COM
munity take and heed The Chicago
Tribune. The Springfield Republican,
one of the ablest and fairest newspapers
in the nation, makes this just criticism
of The Tribune's editorial course:
When President Wilson waged
peace the fiery and belligerent Chica-
go Tribune easily led his critics IN
the West; now that the same president
is waging war, the Tribune begins to
quail in contemplating the sweep of the
PRESIDENT program
The Tribune recognizes the necessity
Of making over the economic and social
structure of the nation on an almost
revolutionary basis to successfully meet
the issue Of war with Germany. 1t
does not underestimate the difficulties Of
the work But is fears that as at pre-
sent outlined and already partly carried
out at Washington, the transform alton
is too rapid, too radical, to be safe or
wise.
Are those who threw all their in
fuence for war, in the days when the
government was trying to avoid war,
now going to run away from the logical
results of a state Of war?

Partisanship has for the time been
discarded at Washington, and only the
freaks in congress are opposing the war
policies of the government. In Wis
consin such leading newspapers as The
Milwaukee Journal, The Milwaukee
Sentinel, The Evening Wisconsin, The
Madison Democrat, The Wisconsin
State Journal and The Chippewa Falls
Independent are doing team work to-
gether for the nation. There is there
fore no excuse for any man who gets
up in public, or in private, and sounds
a discordant note by calling this great
struggle on the part Of this nation a
mere ignoble contest.

TAX WOULD KILL
WHISKY TRAFFIC
Amendment to Revenue Bill Is
PrOhibitiVe.
HIGH IN ALL INGREDIENTS"

If Measure as Altered by Senate
Committee Goes Through-Only
Beer and Wines Can Survive
Amendments SO Strengthened as TO
Admit No Evasion.
Washington, June 5.-Prohibition
will be almost assured during the war
if congress sanctions prohibitive taxes
imposed by the senate finance com
mittee on ingredients entering into
the manufacture of distilled spirits. At
the same time the committee acceotod
in the war revenue bill an amendment
forbidding the importation of distilled
spirits during the war.
These two changes and the imposi-
ton of per cent tax on advertising
receipts were the sold work Of the
committee. The advertising tax is put
forward as a substitute IOr the pro-
posed changes in the rates on second
class mail matter.
Ingredient Tax Prohibitive
The committeeman don't say that
the new taxes on the ingredients Ell
tering into the manufacture Of distill-
ed spirits are prohibition measures.
But they are so high that they will be
effective in this direction.
Molasses, syrups and substitutes are
taxed SIS per wine gallon, and grain.
cereals and "other edible products"
and materials $40 per bushel. These
taxes are in addition to the present
tax on distilled spirits.
The following amendment was also
adopted
mo distilled spirits manufactured
after the approval Of this act from
grain, from cereals or from any edible
product thereof or from molasses,
syrups or any substitute thereof shall
be imported into the United States,
Porto Rico or the Philippine islands
except for industrial, mechanical or
scientific purposes under rules and
regulations to be prescribed by the
secretary Of the treasury"
The amendments are considered
very drastic, as they include not only
specified materials but the words
"other edible products" which include
all foodstuffs, thereby attaining the
same and intended for the prohibition
amendments offered at various times
during the food legislation.
