TEAT EIGHT PER CENT TAX

The rankest sort Of injustice IN
flicted BY the cloister proceedings or
the Conference Committee on the war
tax measure was the imposition OF
the S per cent excess tax applicable to
income from professions and "occupa:
tons" as we'll as profits OF business.
The Intelligencer the other day called
attention to the. dangers OF such Sc
Get legislation. and particularly re-
flected on tho surprising action OF
these closet legislators in providing
for the exemption OF those holding
Official positions. which saved Con-
gressmen and Senator's from paying
sl20 a year tax on their $500 sal
aries. This Is the most indefensible
thing In the whole complex measure.
Senator Simmons. Chairman OF tho
Senate Finance Committee. makes a
very lame defense Of this highly dis
eliminating tax. as he also does Tor
that twin iniquity. the zone tax. on
advertising in newspapers and period
ical publications. There Is yet time
TO correct these palpable wrongful
levies. They were made in secret.
where thcre was no opportunity for
their proper discussion or hearings
upon the subject. 1t IS encouraging
to hear that one Republican Senator.
member Of the Finance Committee.
has determined to reopen the matter
with regard to the s per cent excess
tax. It will give the members Of Con
gress an opportunity to explain WHY
they propose to tax others and exempt
themselves. II they do purge them
selves OF this Inconsistency, woe be-
tide them.

THE PRICE OF LIBERTY

II cannot be possible that the Amer
lean people will permit either humtlia'
ton and disaster to. come to the Ma
ton through the failure Of the second
issue OF Liberty Bonds Still We can
not ignore the apathy and indifference
that exists. There must be an awak-
ening. How shall the people be
stirred Up to their duty in the face OF
this grave situation? 1t Is the boast
of the German Minister OF Finance
which was made before the Reichstag,
that Germany would collect damages
from its enemies after the war that
would repay the German people for
any money they might invest in Ger
man war loans. Has that menace
wholly abated? Certain It is the pur-
pose remains.
It is probable that many people are
lulled into fancied security over the
present dash OF the Allies, and opine
that the war is about over No coun-
try can bn in greater danger than
when il comes to a feeling Of security.
Il is the same delusion that kept US
back years in being prepared for the
inevitable. If any to-day are so fool
ish TO imagine that Germany is on the
point Of being crushed their minds
will soon be disabuscd Of that fancy.
There is nothing certain in this war
yet. The slightest relaxation Of eff
fort. or the Elinutest display Of weak
ness may mean disaster TO the Allies
Tho failure of the Liberty Loan
would mean weakness. That would
strengthen Germany. and the result
would be too frightful to contemplate.
Nothing truer ever was said than that

erty.~ That is what we shall have to
