MARRIED SLACKERS

(This is an article written by the
reporter at Taber and handed in to
The Idaho Republican to publish
AS our government looks after the
wives and children of our soldier
husbands, what kind of men are the
majority of these men of military
age? Who are married men and
have been called to appear before
their exemption boards for exemp-
ton and found physically fit to fight
for their country, but claimed ex-
emption on dependents and are hid
ing behind petticoats and children.
They are afraid to risk their lives
in defense of those dependents and
their country. They say by words
and actions, Send a married man in
my place to defend my mother, wife
and children, also my self, while /
hide at home and fleece my pocket
at their cost. l want to be protected
from kaiserism and Germany's bar
barism.' Still their own conscience
tells them it is their solemn duty to
help defend our rights. Are such
men loyal Americans, or are they
just plain common married slackers?
What would happen il all these men
of military age were married men?
There would be no help for the
mothers and children of Uncle Sam.
Don't judge the married ladies by
the married slackers.

THE LIBERTY LOAN.

The campaign for the second Liberty
loan opened Monday and will continue
until Oct. %. The government is ask
ing for subscriptions amounting to 49,
100000 900 for a minimum, and So ,000,-
900, 900 for a maximum. The federal
reserve district of New England of
which Boston is the center has for its
task the raising of AT least 100000
600, with $500,000,0O0 for the outside
limit. The government is to pay four
per cent interest for the use of the
money. Its credit is the best in the
world The money is to be used m
keeping the wheels moving for the pros
ccution of the war. Every dollar that is
subscribed is for the carrying out of the
purpose of the people. 1t is patriotism
put in concerto form and to be devoted
to practical uses The secretary of the
treasury hopes that there will be TO-
100000 subscribers. The lowest denom-
nation of the bonds in this Liberty loan
is $50, and from that point upward in
multiples of $50.

TAXES COME HOME TO US.

Now that the congressional conferees
can begin to realize its vastness and
how it is going to reach everybody. It
is aimed to produce $2,700,OO0,OO0 in adj
dition to the present federal revenue of
s 333, 100000 And that is not the end
The secretary of the treasury tells us it
is going to be necessary to raise be-
tween $l3,000,0 10000 600 and $14 900 OOO,-
geo by additional bond issues during the
present fiscal year which closes June 30,
1918.
The bulk of the taxes will come from
a levy of $1,000, 100000 on excess war
profits and $S42, 100000 additional from
large incomes. These enormous items
do not directly concern the "so.callcd
common people, but there are taxes in
the bill that will come close home For
instance, every letter mailed under n
tWo.cent stamp is going to require an
extra cent. There are to be additional
charges ON railroad transportation and
theatre tickets. Another thing every
check that goes through the bank will
require a'penny stamp to be good. There
are the taxes that will strike home and
make us all feel that we have a personal
interest in the financing of America s
share i'll the world war. With all this
tremendous array of figures the country
Is stronger financially than it ever has
been before. According to present esti-
mates nearly one-third of the amount to
De raised through bond issues will not
ne expended by the government but
loaned to those countries which are al
he'd with US in the fight against Ger
many. Although our allies have received
1906 100000 on account, the treasury
department expects them to require So
OOO,OOO,OOO more before the fiscal wear
ends. Uncle Sam is plunging like the
stock gambler, but not all is risked on
the venture. We have loans for assets
as well as the true-ing up of American
ism. This last is worth all the billions
involved.

STATEN LOSES SUIT.
Cannot Collect Damages from Central
Vermont Because of Shooting.

In the case of II. A. Staten of Vernon
against the Central Vermont Railroad Co.,
the Judgment was affirmed by the SUI
preme court in a decision at Montpelier
tnis week. Mr.. Staten was shot and
badly wounded by Hugh Collins, station
agent at Vernon, while intoxicated. Mr..
Staten sued the railroad for damages.
In the lower court a verdict was given
for the defendant and in his opinion
Justice Taylor held that because sub
ordinate officers of the defendant knew
that Collins, who fred two shots at
Staten, used liquor as a beverage, that
did not form a conclusion that the of.
lcials of the corporation, as set forth
in section 1906 of the Public Statutes.
had the same knowledge,

One of the good features of the sales
conducted i'll Brattleboro by the Pure
bred Live Stock Sales company is that
a large number of the animals are
bought by Vermont farmers. 1t costs
no more to breed and keep thorough
breds than scrubs, and the former, in
addition to being large producers of
rich milk, possess a value of 100 per
cent or more over the grades when they
are offered for sale. Vermont, with the
rich verdure of its hills, is leading
dairy state, and when the farmers turn
their attention to building up herds of
purcbred cattle they are likely to reap
a financial reward in addition to having
the satisfaction of striving for improve
ment all the time.

THE COAL SITUATION.

Fuel Administrators Garfield has an
nounced his plan for regulating the re-
tail prices of coal. Dealers are to be
allowed to add a gross margin of 80
per cent computed on the basis of bust
ness in 1915. A close supervision is to
be exercised by committees to be APP
pointed and figures are to be submitted
every month by the dealers. Mr.. Gar
field is confident that the plan will work
out so that prices to consumers will be
somewhat reduced. At least. it will
keep prices what they are. Coupled
with this announcement is a renewal of
effort to provide adequate transporta-
ton facilities for bringing coal into
New England by water by the charter
ing of tugs for the towing of barges.
Much depends on the success of this
effort for the working out of Fuel Ad-
ministrator Garfield s plan, for people
cannot burn figures of cost and margins
of profit.
