Mother Goose Movie
To Run Three Days
for Belgian Benefit

Even amidst the patriotism OF
enlisting in the various branches
of the U. S. service and in pre-
pairing the country for the con-
flict that is coming with Ger
many, the plight of those who
have already suffered from the
tyrannies of the German war ma
chine are not being forgotten by
Tacomans.
In benefit of the starved and
heart broken Belgians, a benefit
performance of the film, Modern
Mother Goose" will be given at
the Tacoma theater both afternoon
and evening, April 10, 20 and 81.
Cant See 1t Elsewhere.
The film is being shown here
under the auspices of the Wash
ington state foundation, of which
Mrs. T. e. Ripley is chairman. 1t
is shown nowhere except as Bel
GUM benefit feature.
The story of the film appeals
to both the child and to the grown
ups. 1t is based on a dream of a
poor little lad who is deprived of
a birthday party and shows his
imaginary trip in the land of
Mother Goose.
To add to the beauty of the per-

|"spring drive" might never have

That Is why the air forces OF
the allies are putting the Taubes

successes of the allied arms In
the western theater of war.
And there is no place but Pu-

grows in commercial quantities.

The Sitka spruce Is a peculiar
wood. 1t has twisted fibre which
makes 1t tough and yet springy,
and more important, gives II a
cheese-like texture which makes

WEALTH CONSCRIPTION MAY
BE ADMINISTRATION PLAN
BY ellison Gardner

WASftlNGTON, ID. C., April 16.
Transcription of wealth" is
likely to become the Official ad-
ministration plan for financing
the war.
President Wilson set forth the
idea In his famous war message,
and 1t has found a strong sup
porter In Claude Kitchin, chair
man of the ways and means com
mittee of the house, where all
revenue legislation must originate.
Kitchin is a pioneer in the di-
reetion of increased income tax,
profit tax and inheritance taxes.
He differs radically with Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo, who
always has favored the convention
al bond issues and taxes on sugar,
tea, coffee, gasoline and flivvers.
So far Kitchin's plans have pre-
vailed with congress.
A Letter.
The American committee on war
finance, of which Amos Pinchot
is head, has formally launched
this plan for financing the war,
and it's movement has been given
a fine new impetus by the en-
dorsement 1t has received by Il.
w. Scripps.
1t is possible that this war will
disclose Americas rich men in
q new light. A letter from one
very rich man to another reads,
In norf fpI1nWc.
1.-THE rich men of the country
are, largely, men whose large for
tunes are purely an incident of
the vigor and force that impelled
them to do great things, not for
the purpose of making money but
only for the delight they expert
ence In doing big things.
Also Service.
These men, to a large extent at
least, suffer extremely from what
they feel is the unjust Judgment
of the great mass of people. They
feel that, while they have made
great wealth for themselves, they
have been of service to the pub
lie, and that there is no way of
their continuing their great ac-
ltivities for the benefit of the pub
lie and themselves, without con-
tinuing and increasing their for
tunes.
when men by the practice of
business acquire the habit of in
vesting money profitably, it is very
difficult FOR them. really very
painful, to pour out their money
in so-called Philanthropy because
their own expel fence and obser-
walton hava proved to them that
tire methods 81 philanthropy are
81 nerally very wasleful; tto. 1t
takes from 30 10 IS cents OF every
dollar so invested TO pay tn, mid
dlemen and the overhead charges
so that only from rs to SO cents
of the dollar pnent ever becomes
q real investment.
Might BE Permanent.
But we all know that we are
condemned. Now, all of a sudden,
there is presented to us an oppor-
tunity-the nations great need
for great sums Of money-to show
our patriotism, to show that we
are really unselfish.
IF our war with Germany
should cost the United States as
much per annum as il is costing
England and If our rich people
are made to pay for it out of their
income, the financial burden of
the country will be nil. The
country will be gamer by tapping
and reducing the great fortunes.
And, once the people learn how
easy it is and how beneficial to all
parties concerned 1t is to get sew
eral billions year by income tax.
the country may be depended upon
hereafter, to raise most, IL not
all, OF the revenue for the nation
and the states and the cities from
this source"
