UNDER the stimulus of in
creased pay and the declar a.
ton of war against Germany,
it is estimated that 1880, ooo
men have voluntarily offered
themselves for service in t ne
United States army and navy
since April 1, and more tha IN
600, 900 have been acceptd d
in all the branches including
the national guard. These
have brought the total land
and naval forces up to between
800, 900 and 900, 900 men by
the volunteer system. One
hundred and fifty thousand Of
those offering their service S
we're applicants for officers
commissions. Only one-thir d
Of these were needed and less
than 80, 900 have been com !
missioned, and about 20, Dob
more are to be commissioned
later. With such successful
volunteering, the addition Of
the national army being raised
by selective draft will give
the United States a fighting
force that will be felt if the
the war lasts until it reaches
the battle line in Europe. The
government has been very
successful in getting soldiers
the task now is to equip and
train them, and the sooner
they can be sent to the front
in force the sooner the war
will be over. For now that
this country is in the war the
entente allies must win. That
is something that every
citizen muSt realize iS fixed
determination beyond all
question of doubt. America
is in the war to win, and the
harder the national energies
are directed to that end, Ono
other end can for a moment
be considered) the sooner will
victory be achieved and the
disruption, waste and agony
OF the present struggle be
brought to an end.

Tonnage Tax Measure Meets
| Defeat in Senate.
DIFFERS FROM FORMER BILLS
This Years Offering Would Have Es-
abIished New Principle Of Taxa
ton in Minnesota.

st. Paul-(SpeciaD - The proposal
to impose tonnage tax on iron ore
went the way of its predecessors when
the upper branch of the legislature,
by vote Of 40 to q, decided that
| it should not have place in the stat
utes of the state. It's demise was spec.
Itacular and the obsequies of charac-
ter that conveyed much. Representa-.
tive Warner of Aitkin county, its au-
thor, who successfully piloted the
measure through the house, was 81
lent witness at its passing, but he did
not indulge in any regrets. "The fight
is not over" was his only comment
When the bill faded into the cleaning
it marked the temporary passing and
, the word temporarily is used advis-
edly-of an issue that has featured ev-
cry session of the legislature since
1905. Like prohibition tonnage tax
legislation introduced had it's fate
wrapped up in this particular issue.
Tonnage tax has been traded to q
standstill. Once 1t got by both houses,
but was vetoed by Governor Johnson.
His action, however, did not stop its
reintroduction, nor will its defeat by
the senate this time head it of two
years hence. That majority of the
people would not know tonnage tax
! if they met it in the road does not
| matter-like the poor it is always with
| us and will be until the end of time.
! Popularity it is supposed to hit big
business-in plain language the United
States Steel corporation-and that IS
sufficient The fact that a few poor
devils are dragged in between the
rollers does not count It is the north
against the south-something many
decry and vehemently deny-but it is
true and the vote each time comes
pretty near being yeriication.

The house committee has decided
to report both the Harrison and Cd

out recommendation and to ask spe-
cial order for some early date to
give the representatives an opportu-
nifty to make a choice between the
two measures. The Gleason bill 10

Twenty-eight years ago today a cav

those "eighty.ninors' came the hard.
ships and difficulties that have been
experienced by all pioneers. Today
Oklahoma is a state foremost in many
necessities OF life. Few of those sturdy
men and women who crossed the line

of Oklahoma as 1t is today.

MEXICAN NEUTRALITY" AND
SOUTH AMERICAN SUPPORT.

ST. Joseph (Mo) News.Press Presi.
dent Carranza declared Sunday that
Mexico would maintain strict neutral.
ity. What that means remains to be
seen II lis open to suspicion. The
neutral pose Of the Mexican presi.
dent was consistent until this country
became involved, but with the United
States AZ war with Germany, neu.
trality in the circumstances IS inde.
fensible, especially when such neu-
trality affords q base of intrigue and a
center Of enemy activity We cannot
permit the use of the neighboring re.
public as a German base OF hostility
against this country, and II may yet
become one OF our first duties to put
MeXico's house in order.
On the other hand It is gratifying to
note the moral support which so many
OF the nations Of Central and South
America are giving to the cause Of this
country in It's war with Germany. The
farreaChing effects OF what Latin
America is today doing to show its
friendl!neSs for the United States can
hardly be oyerestimated. Before the
United States entered the present war,
II is undeniable that the attitude Of
aloofness which some OF the South
American nations had displayed to.
ward the Washington government, the
frequently expressed suspicious, and
the distrust OF our motives had pro.
duCpd "A sort of anathy toward the
Monroe doctrine which made a moot
question OF the extent to which the
American people really would go to
defend that principle. But some Of the
Spanish.American nations have now
cast their lot with the United States.
They realize that their fortunes are
bound up closely with those Of this
country in the outcome Of this war,
for victorious Germany would not
hesitate to assail the Monroe doctrine
In South America.
