Of Chicago. The poor man sacrifices
his whole life to raise his children

stitution that robs the poor man Of his
children, and he ought to be against
II even more thnn the rich man.
The rich men will not live where
there are saloons. They will have
their land deeds fixed up so that no ga
looms can be established. or they will
have laws made to bar out saloons.
Some Christian people ease their con-
sciences by having laws made to keep
the saloons away from the church
doors but when you drive the saloons
AWAY from the rich mans home and
the doors Of the church, you drive
them to the homes Of the poor people

ages. The poor man cannet drive the

and 134 wounded out of 673 or 36.7 per cent. In our Civil War, the 9th Illinois lost at Shiloh 63.3 per cent, the 1st Minnesota at Gettysburg S2 per cent, and the 69th New York, 1000 out of 1,200 in 20 minutes. Even the Prussians sacrificed of the Third Westphalian regiment at Mars la Hour, in 1871, 1,4S4 men out of 5000, or 49.4 percent.
 Similar losses were experienced, especially by the inefficiently off cered British, in the early engage ments of the present war, but in open fighting, not in trenches. Later, too, as we noted last month, the splendid Canadians left 600 out of 800 on the field, in consequence of an unre- scinded order. By way of contrast we are indebted to Sir Charles Ross for a statement of the casualties at the recent battle of Messines as fol- lows:
 Total number of men engaged 2SO,O0O.
 Total casualties, less than per cent.
 Total fatalities less than one in seven of total casualties.
 Reported from the same authorita = tive source of another recent battle
 Engaged: First line, 25O,OOO; sec ond line, 250,000. Casualties: Walk ing 6,000 stretcher, 2,6O0; killed ant wholly disabled. 1,400.

to the man of large income is shown by the calculation that an in come of $55,000, variously derived, which last year was taxed SLIP, will now pay $4,754. And, as the income mounts, so does the rate of taxation.
 Tobacco and Booze are Conscripted
 The average man these supertaXes pass by. For him are the multifar1- ous taxes. Few will be his waking hours in which he does not meet them.
 If he takes a "bracer" during the day or treats a friend, it will cost him more than it used to, for s2.10 gallon is the tax imposed on all liquors accumulated and stored since the distillers closed, September 1. Incidentally there is a new tax of s1.5O barrel on beer, and the wine tax is doubled. If he chooses to smoke after break fast, he will discover that the tax upon all forms of tobacco is in creased, although for the most ex- pensive cigars the increase is only s7 per 1000.

Here will be field for statisticans and fiscal experts to battle upon, and for accountants to puzzle over, that they may learn just what h each business may be regarded as war profits and taxed. But the man on the street will turn his mind to other phases.
 Second in importance are the in- come tax provisions, and these con cern the man on the street very closely. Formerly the minimum in- come tax was $3,O00 year for bach elors and s4,00O for heads of fam flies, but now the married man must make returns on all income exceed ing $2,00O a year and the bachelors limit is s1,000. The new measure adds {. tax of per cent to the former income tax, which likewise levied per cent.
 Only the single man who earns less than $20 week. or the married man who earns less than $40 will now be unconcerned when the federal tax bill comes around. At $5,000 a year the supertaxes begin, whereas form erly they spared incomes up to $20,- .=--@>--A--

 The greatest revenue bill in our history, designed to provide more than 21s billion dollars toward the cost of the war, is also the most complex. Tariff duties excepted. it combines almost every known form of taxation. Taxes great and small, direct and indirect, excise and income and inheritance and stamp taxes they march in serried ranks.
 The tax from which the largest return is expected is that which least concerns the average man. This is the tax on excess profits, from which Congress hopes to derive rev.
