The Italian Drive

WHILE diplomats write, soldiers must
w fight. The blast of battle is hot
test in the south, where Italy develops
her original success into an uninterrupt-
ed victory now in its second phase. 1t is
no mean achievement that Italy scores in
mountain fighting of superhuman diff
Guilty an average of three thousand pris-
oners per day, and vast quantities Of mill
tary supplies in drive ten miles deep on
a twelve-mile front northeast of Gorilla.
The fall Of Monte Santo, a towering
strategic position, brings the joyous an
nouncement that Italys troops a, last are
marching to complete victory Monte
San Gabrielle is next threatened. while
an Italian aviator, one Of hundreds who
participate in daring raids over giddy
mountain heights, makes a record flight
of 920 miles without stopping.

unprecedented activity of this country in
war measures. Taxation, labor, food, coal,
and other matters vital to energetic prose-
cution of the war engage the full time of
Congress, the President and other admins
trative forces in a weller Of action. The
movement to pay for large part Of the
war as we go continues formidable. I'm
heard of increases of proposed taxes on
war profits stagger certain elements, while
liquor and incomes need expect little diff
ferent treatment Profteers will pay as
high as 80 per cent if Senator Johnson has
his way, yielding more than a billion
dollars in revenue. The eleven billion
dollar credit bill, including bonds at per
cent, and the soldiers insurance measure,
slightly modified, appear certain to pass at
once; but increased postage and further
levies on newspapers and periodicals are
withheld. However, the total Of $l9,-
300,OOO,O00 as this nations war expense
until June, 1918, combined with popular
demand for higher taxation on profteer-
ing, is expected to result in reasonably
complete CONSUMPTION of wealth before
Congress adjourns, though the ratio Of
war expense raised by taxation to that
by bonds will probably be only TO Z.

A social result of taxing incomes is dis
cussed by 1.-THE New York Times" which
declares:
There is a necessary social effect TO this
taxation of great incomes. 1t dimnishes or
dries up the springs of philanthropic elee-
mosynary and educational life. The foreign
calls on charity and benevolence since the
war began have reduced contributions 70
American educational and humane works.
The presidents of the colleges, whose in

be notably lessened by the war service of
so many colegians, so many rich mems
sons and sons Of the well-to-do, are in grave
perplexity. A rich man can spend only so
much on himself and his family. Out Of
his surplus come his regular gifts for public
purposes. This is consideration TO be re-
garded in income tax legislation
The uses Of the taxing power of the gov
crnment for booming political candidates.

question of spending the money raised by

Fixing Coal Prices

COAL, with DR.. Harry A. Garfield
" named as Dictator is submitting un-
graciously to the inevitable. Hard coal
prices are fixed by the President between
s4.45 and $3.50. Soft coal operators are
dissatisfied and confer with the powers,
while Mr.. Garfield promises certain pros
ecution to dealers who resist the neces-
sary regulations Metals Of all sorts ap-
pear in line for regulation, copper par
ticularly. But in the realm Of labor even
more important events occur. All men
working on government contracts will be
given union wages and standards, it is
announced, without a closed shop, how
ever. A board of control for labor stand
ards is appointed to see that uniforms for
cur soldiers are not made under sweat
shop conditions. The Shipping Board an
nounces the organization of national
labor commission to investigate conditions
and adjust wages concerning shippers and
longshoremen. Even more revolutionary
steps. in-the labor situation, possibly IN

occur if the drift toward government

Many papers defending the high war
profit tax idea at the same time deplore the
way in which it was put before Congress.
"The Oklahoman" is one of these papers.
1t says:
at is. of course, unfortunate that the pro
/ posal to place war costs upon war profits
should have originated with Senator La
Toilette The Wisconsin Senator's conduct
throughout the war has been so un-Ameri-
can that the public mind instinctively
doubts the sincerity Of any proposal he
advances
"The Chicago Daily News believes La
Toilette is trying to make the war an ex-
cuse for confscation.
"The New York Mail" appeals for
speedy end of the debate in the Senate
and sees those who are defending the
"profiteers" losing steadily. las they see
the tide turning against them says this
paper, they propose cloture in the hope
of getting vote before they lose their
slender control" But the debate which is
in reality forcing the tax rate higher and
higher
els the debate among the people and the
newspapers OF the country. On one side
are ranged those who would relieve the bur
dens OF the people and place them where
they can be most easily and justly borne,
on the other side are those who would FAX
'equitsbly'-that is, the tax is applied eQui-
,ably. though the ability to meet it differs
greatly"

the Stockholm agitation weakens, though
the Allied Socialist conference favors res
toration of ravaged territory from a COM
mon fund. Arthur Henderson, cognizant
of the growing power of labor in peace
councils, prepares to organize labor the
next election. Further unity in Allied
purpose is revealed by the japanese mis-
sion in this country, which pledges Japan
to democracy while paving the way for
increased participation in the war and a
Chinese settlement.
