smashina the Salaried Man.

In secret session and without 'he
slightest tntimation of such measure
during the months that the war TAX
bill was subject to public DEBATE the
conference committee at Washington
inserted a clause levying an excess
prof, tax on incomes received for per-
sonal or professional services in eS-
cess Of $4,000.
How this will operate may be easily
illustrated by citing the case OF a man
having an income Of $4,000 from In
her:ted securities and man whose
sole income to the same amount con-
sists OF a salary. II the person nrst
mentioned happens to own tax-exempt
bonds he pays no income tax. Other
wise he and the salaried man pay the
ordinary income tax on equal terms.
That ends the matter for the capitalist,
but not for the man who works for
living. who on the sum OF his income

OUR FIRST BATTLE.

Imagine the food Of disappointment
half akin 20 terror that would sweep
over the United States If half mil
ton army of ours had assaulted Ger
man army and the newspapers and
bulletin boards informed us that our
army had been beaten back, defeated
and crushed with great loss of life and
equipment. Imagine also the wave Of
rejoicing that would surge across the
enemys country and fame high at
Berlin as a beacon Of hope and a
pledge Of determination to carry on the
war
Yet such a defeat 10 such an army
would not equal the advantage the
failure OF the loan would give to the
kaiser and Prussianisn. If the loan
should by any possibility fall it would
be the greatest victory Germany haa
won IN this war And it would be a
victory won for Germany by Amer
leans.
The defeat Of an American force
would stir us to supreme effort. It
would not dishearten our allies ror
they would knock that the mighty pow
er and vast resources Of this country
are certain to win eventually. The
failure Of the loan would have a more
serious effect upon the morale OF the
countries that are spending their blood
on the long battle lines than any sue
coes 80 Germans -cieht heva ~ o;tha-
front. Verdun might fall with less OF
disaster than the failure Of the loan.
This Is a critical time. It is doubt
full that full realization Of how critical
has come to US generally. But it Is the
first battle to be won by Americans, a
battle to be won with American money
and not with bayonets-but it is as
important as any battle that we shall
wage against the common foe.
Every man is called to the colors
this week as a reserve behind our own
men. 1t is not merely to proclaim pa
triotisn but 20 prove patriots.
Think OF the country hrst; think Of
the men we have sent aaeld first;
think first Of duty. After that It win
be time enough to think OF the dif-
ference between per cent and per
cent that might be had On short time
loans.
Attention America! BY billions into
line. Charge.

ONE TYPE.

shenandoah Sentinel Post
In the poll of the voters of this
vicinity the other day a farmer was
found who declared he would vote
wet Monday because he believed the
closing Of the distilleries would reduce
the demand for corn and the prices
would 90 down.
What a reason to give now when
the government Is bending every
energy to secure feed enough to sup
port the people of this country and
those Of our allies in the world war!
1t Is difficult to think that any sane
man would put up such an excuse for
voting for saloons. For many months
the American people have been urged
to produce every bit of corn and wheat
and other food products possible in
order to save lives.
Yet here is a man who wants to de-
stroy corn in order to make II scarce
and thus put up the price. II that Is
all the patriotism he has he had bet
ter go out and burn a lot of elevators.
or Join the submarine navy Of Ger
many and sink ships loaded with corn.
or use corn instead OF coal in the fur
naces Of Iowa. In none Of these ways
would the injury be as great as TO
put corn into whisky and the whisky
into mems stomachs to destroy their
reason and incapacitate them for 5000
citizenship.
The government has just ordered all
the dist!lleries closed In order that the
grain may be conserved and used ior
food. The man who opposes that pro
gram in the hour of our country's need
Is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.
In the last analysis this war 's going
to be won by the food producers and
food conservers. Germany - trying 70

supplies OF the allies The distiiieries
were doing exactly the same thing as
the German submar!nes-destroyins

heavy hand Of Uncle Sam was la1n
upon the distillery. Yet here we nave

First "Harnstoemers,"

Transformers was a nickname given
to that portion Of the Democratic party
in the state Of New York which op-
posed the extension Of slavery and
supported Martin Van Buren, against
Lewis Cass for president in 1S4S. They
were regarded by their opponents as
too radical and one Of the latter illus
trated his meaning by story Of q
farmer who was so greatly annoyed by
an owl that he shot the bird and In
so doing set fire to his barn. This was
supposed to illustrate the folly Of the
antislavery Democrats and gives rise
to the nickname. It never had any
currency outside Of New York.

IOWA LAND OWNERS.
(Des Moines Register.1


The Register speaks Of Iowa land
owners rather than OF Iowa farmers.
because there Is a distinction between
the two that cannot be overlooked
when we refer TO the profits OF rural
Iowa. The Iowa farmer is profiting
by the prices Of these times. but chief
ly as a land owner. The great distri-
button OF wealth IN Iowa in recent
years has been among the land owners
rather than among the farmers.
The farmers of Iowa have made
money No matter how frequently
the contrary Is asserted. it is never
theless true that industry and thrift
have not gone unrewarded. It may be
true that farm accumulation repre-
sents in the main saving, and the labor

drawn no wages. But accumulation
has been made. Independent Of land

Topics of the Time

The wet vote did not decide the re-
suit in MarshaNtown which went wet
by 81 yesterday. Thirty-one dry voters
who were TOO busy or too idle to go
to the polls are responsible for the

one knew before that wet vote can

would be a curiosity Unless Of course

the polls.

THOSE LETTERS THE BOYS WRITE HOME

Just few weeks ago they were lads,
mere boys, without q care or question
-tiiose boys who are writing acne
across continents and over seas. Most
Of them were schoolboys yet. We used
to see them about town careless and
effervescent with the bubbling happi-
ness Of youth-those boys who are
writing home. Sometimes some
grouchy elder deplored the falling away
of the youth of this generation, the
seeming lack Of a full sense OF re-
sponsibility and heedlessness OF the
future. For they were mere boys then,
an uncounted element in the life Of the
city except as boys, Just boys.
And now, from the far flung battle
lines Of the republic these boys are
writing home, from French escadriIles,
from ambulance headquarters just be-
hind the fighting lines. from battsriAa

CAPT. N0 INGRAM
DIES, ILLNESS LONG

Captain John Ingram, aged about
Al years, and one of the most pop
ular and best known steamboatmen
along the water front, expired at
the Pensacola hospital last night at
9:20 o'clock, following an illness of
some weeks. The immediate cause
of his death, however, was from the
effects of an operation for abscess
of the liver, which was performed
Saturday night, he seemed to i'm
prove, but Sunday afternoon grad
ually becaume worse, and passed
away at the hour named.
The hour for the funeral had not
been decided upon last night, as two
of his oldest children were lett at
81. Andrews when Capt. and Mrs.
Ingram came to Pensacola for his
treatment. Captain I. Fl. Aiken, for
whom deceased had worked for al
most twenty years, last night tel
ephOned the children and they are ex-
1915 o'clock. The funeral will prob
ably occur on Tuesday morning, from
Christ church, of which deceased
was a consistent member.
Capt. Aiken, speaking of the de-
ceased last nlGnL stated LAaJ ne WOul0
unhesitatingly say that he numbered
Capt. Ingram among his best men.
Il have always looked upon him
as a sincere friend, and his services
will be sorely missed. He was SINGER
ity itself, andI feel that in the death
of Capt. Ingram a real, personal
and valued friendship is severed. He
was a man in the true sense of the
word, and this opinion is formed of
him from personal contact covering
a period of about twenty years. He
was lighterman for me when 7 was
captain of the old steamer Santa
Rosa"
Capt. Ingram a few months ago
went to ST. Andrews to take charge
of Capt Aiken's interests there. He
was sent with the tug Dixie, and
after being there for some time, his
health failed, and he came to PEN
sacola for treatment. Saturday he
went to the Pensacola hospital.
His body was last night taken in
charge by Capt Aiken, who directed
that it be conveyed to his own home,
No. 10 North PalafoX street, whence
it will be conveyed to Christ church

CREEK PRIEST TELLS
PEOPLE TO REGISTER

Referring to the encouragement and
assistance in the form of relief, the
United States gave Greece struggling
nearly a century ago for liberty from
the Turk, and declaring that every
body who had drop of Greek blood
in his veins now had an opportunity
to pay back the debt, the Rev. Joa-
chin Georges, of the Greek Church,
yesterday urged the young men of his
congregation between the prescribed
ages to be among the first to register
Tuesday.
Father Georges described the pur-
pose of registration and what the
United States was doing to promote
the era of universal peace, long the
dream of mankind, to protect the
smaller states, and guarantee univer-
sal liberty.
He also told about the early strug-
giles of Greece and how this country
relieved the distress with supplies,
very much as it is helping Belgium
today. The first supply ship for
Greece left the United States in 1927
