WORK
FOR RED CROSS
Commercial Club Executive
Committee Sanctions
Hardy's Election

The executive committee OF the
Fargo Commercial club, at Its regular
meeting today, approved the election
OF j. p. Hardy, secretary of the club,
TO the Craftsmanship of the Fargo
chapter of the American Red Cross,
and In a resolution. which will be
mailed to members of the club, rec
commended that members stand ready
to relieve Mr.. Hardy of some of his
work as secretary should his duties
as Red Cross chairman become too
heavy.
In the same resolution the commit
tee also declared itself in favor of the
use of agencies of the club in the
furtherance of Red Cross work.
The resolution follows:
Since the outbreak of the war,
your club has assumed and has had
assigned to IL many duties, that on the
surface appear foreign to the aims
and purposes of the organization. 1t
has, however, been an ever growing
conviction of your executive commit
the city, state and country the same
duty as do its members as individ--
uals, in other words, as the first duty
of individual citizenship today is that
of finding his place in either the mill
tary or civilian army that is to bring
victory out of the present crisis and
to do 1t without impairirg his bust
ness, so the first duty of collective
citizenship is that of responding to
any call for war service that is made
on it's community organization.
THAT call has come in a definite
way, your secretary has been elected
chairman of the local Red Cross
branch, your club has been asked to
so arrange it's affairs that without
impairing its usefulness in it's usual
channels, its whole-hearted co-opera-
ton may be given to this Red Cross
work. This your executive commit
tee believes is its paramount duty and
one that can be fulfilled without dis
turbing the usual order of things,
and your committee has therefore
consented to the acceptance of this
Craftsmanship by your secretary, and
now calls upon you to renew your
devotion to club activities, to stand
ready to serve when called on to rem
der service, the secretary must have
your physical support, some of his
former duties must be assumed by
others.
THE patriotic membership and the
funds acquired thereby are sufficient
guarantee that the home guard, civil
ian enrolment and many other patri-.
otto activities of that bureau will go.
on undisturbed.

sale of bonds. He declared that
business must not be unduly karnp-
cred or crippled, pointing out that
the business ONCE must not only
furnish all taxes but the money to
absorb the bonds. He said he want
ed to see the poorer classes and
business Of moderate means make
sufficient profit to permit them to
purchase most of the government
bonds and leave the large capital to
continue in business and respond in
taxes for the support Of the govern
ment
Taking 50 per cent of income tax
es, he said, is likely to result in
withdrawal of capital from business
and its investment solely in govern
nent bonds as the average business
pays only per cent net, and by so
doing bond holders would escape all
further taxes and responsibility Of
business.
He asserted that any business
which might escape the watchful eye
of the administration and earn ex-
cessive profits would be caught in
the revenue drag net, thrown out by
the pending bill. The bill should
speedily be enacted he said, so that
business could adjust itself accord
