Washington.-A war revenue bill de-
signed to raise $1,S00,000000 by tax
alton during the coming year was APP
proved finally in the house ways and
means committee Tuesday by unani-
nous vote and reported to the house
Wednesday.
In the meantime the senate finance
committee is holding public hearings
on the bill, with view to being ready
TO report soon after the house acts.
To bring the amount to be raised
up TO the desired total, the house COM
mittee wrote into the bill fiat in
crease of 10 per cent in all existing
tariff. duties and 10 per cent duties
on all articles now admitted free, all
estimated to bring in $240000,000, this
more than doubling the present tariff
revenues.
In addition II was decided to make
all income-tax increases retroactive,
beginning with the present calendar
year. Other taxes provided for would
become effective upon the signing of
the bill.
The income-tax increases, applying
10 both personal and corporation in
comes, are designed to produce $685.
100000 more than the present income
tax receipts.
Income and Profits.
Most of the new revenue will come
from the income, excess profits, and
Inheritance taxes and additional tar
IF duties, but the levies of the bill
would reach into many other sources.
Letter mail rates would be increased
from two to three cents an ounce and
postal cards from one to two cents,
while $19000,000 would be added to
charges against newspapers under a
new system based upon the present
parcel-post zones.
lnternal-revenue taxes upon liquor
and tobacco would be materially in
creased, and there would be taxes on
amusements, and stamp taxes of wide
scope.
Increase in Supertaxes.
The war income tax section would
double the present normal tax of .
per cent on individuals and per cent
on corporations. 1t would lower the
exemption of individual incomes from
$4,000 to $1,000 in the case of married
persons and from $1,000 to $1,000 for
the unmarried.
In addition, beginning with incomes
of $780, graduated supertaxes would
be imposed, in addition to the normal
4 per cent. ranging up to 33 per cent
on all incomes over 100000 a year.
The surtax schedule follows:

WASH INGTON. June 20.--Thc War
Departments request for bids FOR $1,000
army motor trucks brought responses
from cighty-sevcn concerns. and the
bidders arc ready to contract for many
times the governments requirements.
How many will be ordered has not
been determined. The estimate of 35.-
900 made in asking for bids was based
on tho maximum transport needs of an
army OF 10000 men
Virtually all the big motor compa MES
and many of the smaller concerns sub
mitted bids. Many types and sizes
were offered. the prices ranging from
sl.03i for one-ton trucks, 10 $4,000 for
fivc-ton vehicles. Some of the manu-
facturcrs are ready to begin delivery
at once. and others set varying de-
livery dates ranging up TO six months
in the future.

SUSPICION

The people Of this country will have
to place Q close watch on their feelings
in the days that are before us. We
are a complex people, made up Of
q mixture Of many races. Across the
waters our kinsmen are engaged in
deadly conflict and We have ranged our
selves on the side of one group and
against another. But the blood Of
those others flows largely in the ma
tional veins. 1t 10 this fact that should
cause us to watch carefully that there
grow not up in our hearts . suspicion
Of those Of alien blood-enemy blood
II you so term It.
There are and will be spiss-many
Of them. There are and will be trait
ors-let us hope but few Of these. But
IL We are always watching for spies and
traitors We will create an atmosphere
that will work more injury than the
installations Of all the spice and trait.
ore combined could possibly accomp-
lish.
The good old rule that every man 10
. gentleman until he Is proven other
wise should govern ous actions now
When by his actions he proves himsslf
otherwise, then will be time enough to
condemn him.
1t is q noteworthy fact that the man
who 10 always looking for faults in 9TH
ers can lind Them whether they exist
or not, and constant suspicion can and
will tend to distort perfectly innocent
actions into grave ofenses.
Our best course is to leave to govern
ment officials the work OF bringing
spies and traitors to justice. Our indi-
vidual interference might have a ten
dency to muddy the waters.

might have secured, no one has IN OPP
p%ortunity to benefit from 1t, Had oil
agreed to pull together and secure It..
then each could have had q fighting
chance for the benefits.
Briefly. the live town does its scrap
ping after they have secured what they
90 after, instead OF before. The live
town realizes that oil must work to-
gether to secure, but that the scrap
ping must be limited to the control.
No doubt many Of our readers are
acquainted with just such towns.
While they are no strangers to factions.
yet when anything is proposed that 10
plainly to the advantage Of the COM
munity, the cohesion and cooperation
is instantaneous, They have the good
sense 70 know that they can't divide
their loaf before they secure IL, and
that this first consideration OF securing
il demands undivided effort.
Aud right here 10 a point VI wish

Don't carry your factional fights to the

FREE SPEECH

There is At the base Of most Of the
d,sloyalty evidenced in this country,
one OF the basic principles upon which
this government was founded-freedom
OF speech. The trouble, however, lies
O with the principle itself 80 much as
with its application.
First we must realize, which many
OF our malcontents have not, that
there can be no such thing as absolute
free speech. Theories and honest views
"a to the expediency or justice Of pro-
posed laws are perfectly proper before
the enactment Of such laws. The un-
disputed right Of the majority to rule
imposes upon the minority. after its
enactment, the duty OF absolute obedi.
encs. Any other view OF the matter
tends to the destruction OF the very
FABRIC OF free government.
In times Of peace and quietness this
view Of the citizens duty to govern
ment has always been literally con-
strued. and much really reasonable
criticism has been passed over and con-
doned From this leniency there has
arisen in the minds OF many unthink-
ing persons an idea that the right to
express ones thoughts, no matter how
reasonable those thoughts may be, is
one Of the inalienable rights Of free
men.
A little sober reflection will show
the fallacy Of such reasoning. We
have laws against murder. arson, rape,
aud many other crimes. Would any
iare raise their voice against obedi-
.uce to these laws? How long would
such q person remain at large?
But these, you may say, are vitality
necessary. Granted, but We will &c
further.
Taxes are levied, and all are required
to pay. Have you the right to counsel
resistance to the tax collector or to
throw obstacles in his way? You may
not approve Of the particular law I'M
der which the taxes are levied and col.
lected. You have q perfect right 70
seek to have that law repealed, but nc
right to seek to nullify 1t. 1t 10 the
will Of the majority and 90 such must
stand until repealed by q majority.
While, the selective draft Law val
pending in congress every American
citizen had a right to raise his voice
apaipat IL il he felt 40 Inclined But
