The War Tax from Two Sides

No taxing system or was ever universally satisfactory exactly equitable. These devices are the work of human brains and nothing human is in- fallible. In the inequity of a tax system may be clearly pointed out if it cannot be remedied. We know that something is wrong with our war tax law but do know just what it is though gentlemen of the widest contrary views think they know where the trouble lies.
 In a long article in of the popular periodicals. last week writer attacked the profits the ground that it favored the large and powerful corporations whose invested capital counted off from the amount be taxed. Smaller concerns with smaller investments thus, he said, paid compara- lively larger proportion of the profits tax.
 About the time article appeared in the Wall Street Journal attacking the such power ful concerns as the United States Steel Corporation the ground that it injured the value of it's stock any but speculative purposes tended to curta production. No corporation he said, would to profits amounting to many millions if was allowed to retain only S1S2OOO of each million The government in his opinion would be the loser The taxes it would derive from the many small concerns would not equal the amount of which it would be deprived by the eXactions it had laid upon the large Corporations This writer also attributed the depres sion in the stock market few days ago not to dis in Italy but to the forbdding presence of the war profits tax. However, the depression has since disappeared except with respect to Italian exchange and the tax still remains.
 We have here two extreme views; one by a man whose sympathies with the large corporations and who believes that war measure, the govern ment should continue to codde them The is the view of a man who is writing for periodical with a constituency of two million subscribers comparatively few of whom favorably inclined large cor Operations Each writes with air of authority with assumption of information and wisdom superior to that possessed by congress. Are therefore to wonder that in the midst of this divided counsel congress should be in doubt as to the quality of the war tax bill? It has any rate succeeded in touch- ing point between the extreme right the extreme wrong whichever way looks at it.

 After the showing of coats came evening toilettes in a bewilderment of styles that showed a variety of offer ings unusual to Tucson shops.
 All of the draping of the models was done by MT. Marto, who had charge of the presentation.
 Until the reception closed the num- Der of visitors increased. with the re- suit that when the last model had bowed her way from the mezzarine the new store was filled with wishful wo- men who appreciated the entertainment afforded them"
 The Citizen had an equally appre- ciative and descriptive report of the opening.

not. perhaps, lead the governments and peoples of today. Christian Science comes to shatter this way of relegat ing divine help to past ages, and through the revelation of full Chris tianity discerned by Mary Baker Eddy, shows God present help, the present people His people, the present hour His time the present need the field for His appearing. The soldier on the firing line today is just as directly under Gods protection as were the Is- raelites in the Red Sea. Those who must decide for nations can seek and find His guidance as did the Iraelitish prophets and kings-this. however, not through material religions but through the revelation of God as Principle, a revelation which destroys evil even in the affairs of men. And one thing | stands clear as sunlight, in both past and present: that he who chooses the nearest right issue he who stays closest to duty; he who enlists against, not with, the worlds evil he who rises to seek Gods will and not his own; he who. in short. lets moral courage cut straight across the path of self and follows right as he sees it at any
 cost-this man, for these reasons nec- | essarily receives the guidance of God 1 And this man, whether he be of affairs
 or quite subordinate. can find the God | of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob,
 to be his God. Then to the degree he
 makes his God his dwelling place, he is wise and safe.
 Moral courage in the individual is
 the stay of the home, of the citizen, of
 the soldier, of the government of the
 nation. Popular approval or disap- proval do not exist to moral courage Moral courage makes straight for the
 good goal and keeps a pillar of cloud
 and of fire between itself and applause
 or condemnation. Moral courage serves
 Spirit, not flesh. Principle not person;
 right, as it sees the right, and never
 wrong when once wrong is detected
 Mrs. Eddy sums moral cowardice and
 moral courage when she writes upon

k0RR|CKS OPEN
 TUCSON STORE

Indicating the progressiveness of the big Phoenix department store, Charles Korrick and Brother have created a sensation in Tucson with the opening in the Old Pueblo of "Korricks' Smart Shop" Although this event occurred last Thursday evening and brought hundreds to the new establishment at 22 East Congress street, the women of Tucson are still talking of the wonder full display on living models of the latest creations in women's apparel upon that occasion. s. w. Marto, of Korricks', who went to Tucson to di- rect the opening of the new store, said yesterday that the success of the latest venture of the big concern seems al ready crowned with success.
 Rarely does any new business house throws its doors open for the first time under more suspicious circumstances and more rarely does any such enter prise receive more extensive and com plimentary notices in the public press than did the opening of Korricks branch house. Both the Tucson Star and the Tucson Citizen devoted large space to reciting the events of the opening and to describing the hand some gowns and other apparel shown.
 The Star had this to say:
 "A new sensation came to Tucson last night when Korricks' Smart Shop at 22 East Congress street opened with all lights aglow and Bookman's orches- tra playing Hitting ragtime, while in a bower set as a mezzinine stage at the back of the store half a dozen of the pretty girls of Tucson, including Miss Smith, cashier at Litt's drug store posed in new and fetching gowns and | styles.
 Fully 400 spectators attended the opening and were received by $. w | Marto and representatives of the new merchants in Tucson, who presented guests with carnations in honor of the opening.
 The opening began at 7:30 o'clock with a representative gathering present to see what the new shop had to offer

A Top-Notch Spy
This same Milan Stefanovitch, be-
fore he came TO America and the NOV
les joyously hailed him as a type"
started life as lieutenant in the Ser
blan army, a graduate OF the Royal
Military Academy in Belgrade. After a
few months service in the line at the
opening Of the all-Balkan war of n
few years ago, he was transferred to
the Intelligence Department and
turned into a top-notch spy. While that
wasn't really villainous, looked at from
a patriotic Serbian point of view. it
gave him a few suggestions that proved
helpful later on in his career.
Milan's intelligence work took him
into the military service Of two or
three neighboring and inimical nations.
and he did so we'll that the enemy twice
decorated him.
Very early in the present great war
Bulgarians raided the Serbian village
in which Milan's family lived. His
wounded brother and his sister. Red
Cross nurse, he says, were hanged
after trial on a trumped-up charge of
espionage. After that, according to
the story, his mother died OF broken
heart
At Monastir, serving with the heavy
artillery, Milan was carved about body
and face by an enthusiastic bayonet
expert. He woke up in an Austrian
hospital with the villains face he now
wears. 1t was encouragement then,
but after a disgruntled Austrian officer
had aided him to escape into Italy
through Trieste and he came on to the
United States he found that things
might have turned out worse At Monas-
tir after all. One glimpse of the face
and the movies hailed him as their
own. Ever since. until the draf,
brought him TO Upton, he has been
earning several times his lieutenant's
pay by dedicating himself to evil movie
deeds.

grieved at the loss of Milan. but game

started for camp.

CAMP UPTON, l.. l., Oct. 23.-Some
time hero, some time villain of the
deepest dye, Milan Stefanovitch is out
here in the New York City National
Army division, with his heart set on
the accomplishment of noble deed for
every ignominious and despicable act
at which the camera has ever caught
him.
As a hero Milan was not only de-
light to the eye in the uniform OF a
Serbian lieutenant, but conspicuous
success in action. Equally whole
heartedly he gave himself up to viii
lainy later on. Thoroughly nice young
men with curly hair and fine aspira-
tions and the faculty of making all
the rest of the world their friends
found in him an enemy grim and I'M
placable. With such fiawless persons
everybody else might be in love, but
Milan WAS for sticking knife IN their
backs every time. And for pure young
girls, with ringlets and frightened, APP
healing eyes, and well defined and
even brilliant matrimonial prospects -
"b-r-r-r-r!" said Milan; "let EN- yield
or die!"
Hero Before Villain
"But it is not to be forgotten that
before he ever was villain Milan
Stefanovitch was "a hero-a real one
as he now is starting out to be again
with a newly, won sergeancy IN the
headquarters company of the 3O4th
Field Artillery. Indeed, il was through
his heroism that he acquired his chief
qualifications TO enable him TO settle
down into life of comfortable and
profitable crime.
The story of DR.. Milan-Jekyll and
Mr.. Stefanovitch Hyde came to the fore
to-day when a reportorial nose poked
itself in at the barracks in which Ser
eeant Milan Stefanovitch has become a
power. Milan was there with his trim
new olive drab uniform, his proud new
sergeant's stripes and his look OF being
somebody not only foreign but sinister:
The sinister look came of a deep and
ugly scar on chin and cheek.
Lots of heroes are ornsmented by
such scars in these war times, you may

tertainment for the soldiers and sail

camps. Attending the conference were
representatives of the national and
state defence councils. chambers OF
commerce, Rotary clubs, women's or
CARNATIONS and other associations
from all sections Of the country.
Secretary Baker told the conference
that he wanted the soldiers to have
that invisible armor. that moral ana
intellectual armor, that new soldler
state of mind, for their protection
overseas

Approval of the recreation work also
was voiced by Major General Barnett
commanding the Marine Corps. ITO
have an efficient army he declared
"you must have a happy army. A
disconnected army is an ineffcient one
no matter whether that discomfort is
due to poor food, clothing Or other
causes"
Another good effect Of the commu,
nifty recreation idea, he added, VIII
be that people will come TO pay proper
respect TO the men in uniform.
Reports received at the conference
said many cities already had sub.
