They have made up their minds to en-
dure with complacency any necessary
hardship, but they expect war taxation
to be as scientific as it can be made to
produce the money needed in the time
required. The Republican has ap-
proved in principle the Presidents pro-
posal to sustain the armies and finance
the defenses of the country as far as
may be by direct taxation, but 1t warn
ed that the prodigious sums essential
would make necessary the issuance of
bonds on an enormous scale. The
country can easily absorb the S7,0O0,-
O0O, 900 issue, authority for which is
pending in Congress. What OF the
future?
Secretary McAdoo's schedule of pro-
posed levies, coupled with the Con-
gressional proposals for enormous in.
creases of income and excess profits
taxes, suggests that the people upon
whom the government must depend to
buy bonds may be crippled for the period
of the war. AS it is admitted the war
expenses cannot be betrayed altogether
from direct taxation, it is worth con-
slderlng If the government will not in
jure its own chances of floating ad-
ditional bonds if it makes its exactions
of direct taxes as great as now propos-
ed. A happy means must be devised,
else trouble will ensue. Take a lust
proportion of incomes and profits, impose
excuses wherever they can be borne,
but leave something to the people with
which to buy the bonds that must be
sold later on. Possibly it will be
necessary to compel bond purchases, as
has been done in Great Britain, but "you
cannot squeeze blood out of stone. -
If the people have been stripped by the
direct taxation method, they will have
contributed their all; nothing will be
left for bonds.

treasury is determined in large measure
by the daily attendance of pupils. the
greater attendance of pupils to the
schools, the greater the financial re-
turns to the county from the state
treasury. So, it is reasoned that those
teachers who hustle to get the children
nto school and keep them there, thus
increasing the county's share in the
distribution of the states school funds.
should share somewhat in them per-
sonally, because their commendable
activities and interests have brought
more wealth accordingly to the county.
Inc attention of teachers has been
called to the importance of making
proper and correct record of pupils in
the book for grades in each school

OF the public elementary school" which
the state department has ruled includes
the seventh grade; for where pupils
complete the seventh grade. it not only
now carries promotion Herewith. but
makes such pupil exempt from the re-
qulrements of the attendance law
teachers are cautioned to be very care
full in this particular and be sure that
the decision arrived at is tenable and
just to all parties concerned.

Appeals are being made from all
quarters to the farmers of America at
this time. The prospect of a food
shortage" is so alarming as to lead
many of our public men to urge upon
our farmers the Importance, the neces-
sity, the patriotic duty of growing
larger crops during the present season.
While such appeals no doubt proceed
from perfectly proper spirit, we are
constrained to regard them as some
what superfuous. Our farmers hardly
need urging in this matter. If patriotic
considerations did not move them, GER
tainly the high prices, of food products
would. Any man, of ordinary sense
and the smallest particle of energy,
will be only too glad to grow all he can
at these times of high prices. The
only thing that handicaps him is the
shortage of labor. Nobody regrets
more than the farmer himself his in
ability to produce more at this time.
Nobody regrets more than he does the
way he is handicapped by his inability
to get help.
Our authorities, our editors, and all
such, are on the wrong track when they
attempt to solve the food shortage"
problem by appealing to the farmer.
The farmer does not need appealing to-
What he needs is farm labor. And the
solution Of the food problem must be
found in efforts to increase the supply
of that labor. "Give US the hands, w."
say the farmers, land you bet we will
give you the food stuff. appeals to
farmers" are not what is needed. We
beg to suggest that the need is to sweep
throughout the country with some such
slogan as this
FARM OR FIGHT.
