Some one may say: Would not
such law violate the Federal Constitu-

late the letter of the Constitution, yet
the principle is based upon such spirit
of justice, that no one can afford to
be so miserly as to refuse to obey such
q law. Under the conditions, OF course,
that the law would be enacted. The
federal government is the proper one
to enact such law, but the best way
to get quick action is for the state to
enact the law, then other states will
follow, and no doubt the actions of the
states would prompt Congress to take
notice.

Would Protect Soldier Boys From
Debts.
To the independent:

TO the independent:
William J Bryan, from all accounts
at my command, started the argument
and every egotist who felt himself
statesman, gave vent to it, that the ma
ton should conscript the wealth Of the
nation - especially incomes - to sup
port the war against Germany.
That reasoning from a commoner's
point of view is very good, but there
is another equivalent plan of con-
scripting the wealth of those most able
to bear the burden and directly aiding
those engaged on the battlefield.
That is by applying the principle of
Moratorium to all debts and interest
on same of those joining the army by
volunteering or drafting.
The people should petition the Gov
ernor to call the Legislature together
in special session and pass the law
with the emergency attached. The law
should provide that all debts-mort-
cages, accounts, judgments, and evil
|dence of Indebtedness against everyone
joining the army, should be suspended
until three months after peace is de-
clared. And also provide that such
debts shall not bear interest during the
interim.
Only this week one of the drafted
boys Of this neighborhood, who had
bought teams and implements last
spring and paid down part cash, was
compelled to take his teams to his
