AT FEARFUL COST.

England has at last walked up to the
ravages made on her finances by drink.
A writer in the Christian of London
informs us that since the war began
the liquor trade has used up the labor
of lifting 100000 tons; that the
great Pyramid of Egypt could have
been pulled down and reset three
times over by the labor used in land
ing the drink stuff at the London
docks. This amounts to more than
all the rest Of the unloading together.
With regard to food, it is said there
would have been three and half
million more tons of food but for the
traffic. From every home an amount
equal to a pound has been stolen daily
since the war began. The labor is
considered equivalent to the whole of
the United Kingdom having stood idle
for a hundred days.
The war savings committee has been
preaching economy to ladies in their
dress, and discovers now that two and
a half million dollars are squandered
daily for a drink that damages health.

TAXPAYERS REGULATION

This is known as taxpayers
regulation. Upon the basis of
this return and on analysis of the
information disclosed by the pre-
llmlnany inquiry and the tax
payers inventory the proper
amount of tax will be determined.
Payment of the tax must be
made to the collector of internal
revenue at the time of fling the
return. but payment must be ex
tended to date not exceeding
seven months from the passage
of the act upon the filing of a
bond for payment. This bond
must be given with an approved
corporate surety company in a
penal sum of not less than double
the amount of the tax, and in no
case less than one dollar.
The penalties for failure to
comply with the requirement of
the law are for slackers.
Upon every citizen rests the
responsibility of contributing to
the utmost of his ability toward
the successful termination of the
war. 1t is the unquestloned duty
of every true American citizen
not only to pay the full tax the
law requires of him but to re
move possible obstacles to the
successful administration of the
law by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue. Under the circum-
stances it is high privilege for
every citizen to comply strictly
with the terms of the law and to
make it part of his duty to see
that every other citizen does
likewise.
