PAYING THE WAR AS WE GO.


The announcement that the administration
pl5ns q huge war loan was received with acclama-
ttioa by those citizens whose annual incomes and
hereditary fortunes mount into the heavens, but
itha president comes out for paying the costs of
! lie Y.aF so far es they can equitably be sustained
4by the present generation by well conceived taxa
Iton"
This means, in every probability, sharp ~increas-
as in the present revenue an dexcess profit tax.
That the tariff will be tinkered with at all is doubt
Jul except to help along the war policy of the ma
ton.
The good about a system of elastic taxation,
such as the taxes above referred to-, is that when
ever the government issues a loan it can be sure
iof reasonable rates of interest. No one will at
tempt to bleed the government when the knowl-
edge is certain that a failure to secure the loan
Will mean an increase in the income, inheritance,
ntalaal revenue and excef rrofit taxes.
As TO tie amount the l.. ted States can raise
by taxation no ore is allie l. ctate exactly what it
should be, but Great Brsta; whose annual income
5 estimated at IS billion Glars, raised 2 IL bill
!iors by taxation last year. If our income is about
10 or so billions, as esti! 2ted, we. ought to be
abe to raise 8 to 10 billie ) by taxes yearly.
IL this government Cal. 10 this, should they?
e loans are made the peor..2 vii, borrow from the
n,u.s, the banks invest tn r-*oney and the result
Is expansion Of credit, VII, ch will inevitably lead
to high prices. Il direct taxation is applied there
viii be 10 imitation of credit. The people would
be controlled to econonlize; ~luxuries would become
eliminated through the pressure of the tax upon
The average purse.
n addition, taxation would enforce immediate
andsst4ugeEt saving. 1t is more equitable than a
can. Il corscriDtion Of all men is just, then a con-
acription Of wealth is Just. A loan means that the
Individual volunteers his money in order to receive
It back with interest, which will in all probable
tiles have to be paid by the young men who do
the fighting. They and their children will have
the loan to repay.
We are. strictly with the president in believ-
ing that the war should be paid for as far as pos
sibie by taxation as it goes Our people can pay
the taxes and the government should make them
DO it. The man who is forced to serve in the army
should not have preferred stock on patriotism;
the man of wealth should be forced to volunteer
his money by taxation, with no interest in return
and no payment back to him in the future. This
is the way to pay for war.

NATIONS NEED Is FOOD.

. Ne rA
The insistonce with which the farmers are be-
ing urged to an enlarged production Of staple food
products should help to make them realize the re-
q~uirements of the world.
Even if hostilities end Unexpectedly in Europe
It viii be a long time before the production Of food
stuffs III the continent can reach a normal basis.
Because Of the shortage of such crops throughout
the world, Secretary Houston declares there is
no risk Of excessive production at this time.
It is apparent that the farmers of this country
have q job Oh their hands. They have, besides
the United States, most of the %belligerent nations,
to iced. That they will periodically respond to
the need IS known without question.
To do this they are urged to plant wheat, oats,
barley, rye, grain, sorghums, flax, corn, COW peas,
soy beans, potatoes and all other crops which can
feed men or animals. Flax, for instance, mention
Jed above, is not a human food, yet it's seed consti-
Itutes an important element in the dairy food sup
ply, and releases other grain products for use as
food.
Vegetable crops Of carrots, rutabaga, turnips,
onions, cabbages, etc, should receive more atten-
ltion than they generally receive. They are cap
able Of large production on suitable land under
intensive culture throughout the more densely
populated portions of the country.
Consumers living in villages and in the suburbs
Of cities do not appreciate their means of adding
materially to their food supply by utilizing suit
able idle soil in yards, vacant lots and unused out
lying fields. Gardening is an industry in which
the family and community may share with help
fulness and benefit. ae '5,@. VIII
We urge our readers to the importance of
these facts. War privations are bound to become
necessary unless enough is raised for ourselves
End our allies. The government will see that the
farmers are well paid despite the hugeness Of
their crops.
The best thing that America can do is to plant
food enough to feed the world and in that case
The farmers of America will reap the profits.
RI. va "a IA "a M "a n
Next to the war-if not alongside with its
discussion Of the nations food problems. In Eng
land and France and Russia discussion hinges on
the. same topic. K ii, :lt NUN ..ast. N
All of which leads to the assumption that our
farmers this year are in the first line trenches.
It is really more Important that we cultivate the
soil properly and efficiently than that we raise an
army of 2,O00,0 900 men. Without food neither
the allies nor ourselves can win. Give us food.

ABSOLUTELY!
Kid McCOy Was Wise to
All Tricks of Ring Game
ABSOLI TEIY!

Kid Mccoy was always full of tricks
Tomorrow will be the twcnty-first an
niversary of his fight with Doherty
the South African mlddleweight cham
pion. iu Johanncsvrg, In which a
number OF African wiscnh elmer wcre
badly stung. Mccoy had none of the
appearance of the typical pugilist,
and this gave some of the African
sports poor opinion of his ability.
Moreover, the Kid caused to be spread
broadcast rumor that he was i'll
and in poor condition, and the local
mans hackers swallowed the story
whole. Mccoy had his training camp
I'm Johannesburg. and II was visited
daily in large numbers of sporting
men, anxious TO eet line on the
American. The sparring exhibitions
put up by Mccoy for their benefit
would have disgraced a novice. Do
herty. on tho other hand, showed off
his entire stock in trade when bunch
of spectators called at his camp and
he looked like an absolutely certain
winner compared with the awkward
lloosier. Naturally, the Africans
rushed to put their money on Doherty
and everything they offered was
quickly covered by the astute Mccoy
The battle was for $4,000 a side and
I juicy Nlltt tl Ntt kdNt, NuINH was llu
iuconsiderahle item. 1t was an en-
tirely different Mccoy that the back
ers OF Doherty saw in the ring that
might At the end OF the second
round it was seen that the American
had all the best of II, and there was
scramble on the part of Doherty' 5
hackers to switch their betting. Nc
Coy simply made the South African
seem like an amateur, and In the
ninth round Mccoy put over the
punch that sent his opponent to sleep.
one Of the few South Africans who
had bet on Mccoy was Barney Bar
nato. the eX-clown who had become
the diamond king OF South Africa.
He later presented Mccoy with a dia-
mond medal. and offered 10 back him
against any one in Englan. While

There comes now an inventor with
the significant name of Ford-not

improvements for the machine gun.

The first one is n mechanically op-

duration thereof. The belt-loader is
operated by the power of the machine
on which the gun is mounted. this to

hicle.
The second is a circling water-cool-
ing system, a la automobile. I'm which
the water passes from the Jacket

The third STARTER is the fact that

this Idea was borrowed from the
Fighting airplane, in which the ma
chine gun is rigidly mounted to fire
thru the propeller.
