Bonds or Taxes

W dShlUESOn telegTa9nS express sur
prise that a lew more billions are need
ed for war uses. 1t might have been
thought that the capacity for that sort
o. surprise rad been exhausted on the
part OF those so well informed as those
who lay ana those who spend the taxes.
Certainly there can De no excuse for
surprise at the fact that the need is
greater for assistance TO our allies thar
for our own Particular purposes. The
chancellor CT the British exchequer,
when asking for his latest and largest
credit, said:
It Is an open secret that We have
spent 50 freely OF our resources that
those available for payments in Amer
lea had become nearly exhausted when
our great ally entered into this
struggle.
That was as fair notice to us as to
parliament. Germany would be nearer
victory now if England had not A.
nanced the allies up to our entrance
into the war. 1t was an unspeakably
greater burden for England than for
us. England made her advances in
form to the allies, but in effect to Il
nance our banks and our factories.
Y lie England was carrying a burden
so incomparably greater for her than
ours now. we were piling UP war pro-
fjts. Now there should be no rellc-
lance to make the advances necessary.
first. because Germany may win the
war II we do not. and, secondly, be-
cause we shall starve our industries II
we do not We have experienced the
beneficial: rsults of the expenditure OF
forign funds here and in merely SELF
ish sense we should lend the allies
money to spend here. Moreover, we
must, whether we would or no.
There is more room for difference OF
opinion about methods of raising the
funds, but it will grow less as the
sums grow greater. 1t needs no argu-
ment that it is easier to borrow bill
lions than to pay billions in cash. In
fact. the ease Of borrowing is one OF
the arguments against borrowing.
Many who regard borrowing as the
better as well as the easier way Of find
ing funds on the scale Of billions re-
gret the fever Of trade thru spending
the easy money. On this point, TOO,
British experience treasures us. They
have travelled the road upon which
we are but just entering They nave
both borrowed and taxed upon a scale
greater proportionately than any likely
to be asked of US. And they regret
their taxes more than their bond is
sues. In Mr.. Bonar Laws words, so
applicable to our present position:
1.-THE cause OF the rise in prices is not
In the main profiteering. 1t is the in
nation due to the high expenditure
The remedy is to be found in the con-
troll OF that expenditure"
That Ia the method adopted by us IN
advance of the requisition for more
funds, and without knowledge OF the
conclusion to which experience had
brought British lawmakers and tax
layers. England taxed itself G3S, COZ. :
600 to cheaper wool and food. !
those popular necessities had been
eheapened by trade control equisa-

Importance Of Intelligent Care in In

fant's Second Summer Pointed Out.
Most mothers breathe a. sigh OF re-

ond birthday so well known is the fact
of the danger Of the child's second sum-

of pediatrics in the college OF medicine
at the State University Of Iowa. 1T is

pare statistics of sickness and death

sit is particularly important that par
ents should look into this matter OF
digestive disturbances of the second
summer. There are three factors which
are vital to the health OF the baby
during this period: First, heat; second,
milk; and third, that type Of food which
is most common in the summer, fruit
and vegetables.

SEEKING THE ETHIOPIAN.
Monticello Express.


Governor Lowden, OF Illinois, oy
threats to take charge Of the coai
mines Of Illinois, in the name OF the
state succeeded in getting an agree
uent with some Of the larger oper-
ators that Judge Carter as aroaer'
might determine the price at wa1ich
coal should sell at the mines. SO faf'
so good: but something else needs
regulating. somewhere between the
mine and the consumer. Coal that
costs less than two dollars ton at
the mine creeps up 20 price OF SIX
or seven dollars a ton before it reaches
the furnace door. Either there are TOO
many middlemen or else the transpor-
tation companies and the retailers are
getting too much for what they are
doing. When coal sells at retail 10Y
500 per cent more than the mine price
is somebody has been doing some

pertinent if there be added thereto

LAW BREAKING FARMS.

When you pass a farm along which
weeds are growing on the highway
the occupant of that farm is law
violator. The Iowa statute says that
every farm occupant shall cut the
weeds along his premises by August
Of each year. The people Of Buena
Vista county are inclined 10 be care
less concerning this very important
ma tier. Supervisor J. Park Bair gave
the Pilot-Tribune notice TO publish
in last weeks paper which was crowd

weeds at once. 1t should have been
