bill proposed by Congress is
especially weak in that it does not
begin to tax heavily enough the
$4,000 reported incomes between
$4,000 and $4,000 year.
Needless to say, our proposed
taxes on very large incomes are
also comparatively insignificant,
as is the contemplated excess
profits tax. If Congress should
cut out the quite unjustifable
proposed taxes On the necessaries
Of life and ON the simple comforts
and amusements Of poor people
and impose taxes comparable to
those in Great Britain on incomes
and excess profits, they could al
most double the amount called for
by the Secretary of the Treasury
from rerely these two sources.
We must bear in mind that the
English excess profits tax is in eff
feet an income tax. We must
bear in mind also that we find our
selves in a position Fortified by
immense war profits, but unex-
hausted by war; where it would
be comparatively easy for us to
greatly exceed the English income
and excess profits tax schedules.
But what the Senate and the
House have proposed is to disre-
gard the healthy experience OF
Great Britain and start in by
crippling the already hard
pressed, fighting classes Of the
country, i. e., the common or gar
den Americans, with enormous
imposts which fall either directly
or indirectly upon them.
To the ordinary observer, it
looks as if our lawmakers had sat
down together and asked each
other this question: How can
we arrange war taxes so that they
can. be shifted by the rich. by the
great corporations, by the manu-
facturers, trusts and exploiters
down on to the backs of the COM
mon people who cannot shift them
on to anybody else? This kind
of finance is to our minds the sur
est, simplest and most effective
way Of unpopularizing the war.
If you do this, you will simply
say to public already not over
pleased with the situation that

FRUITS OF FANATICAL IN
SANITY,

Our nation has been twice
plunged into grief for the acts Of
insane fanatics who murdered
presidents of the United States.
1t seems to have been a fortunate
thing for the world that the ia
natics were in this country and
lost their lives without involving
other nations in the trouble of
their just punishment.
A little more than three years
ago a Serbian fool murdered an
Austrian arch-duke, which
brought ON, or at least hasteneG
a war, involving several of the
most important governments Of
the world, which has cost millions
Of lives, billions of money and
the destruction of billions Of dol
lars worth Of property. 1t Is
likely to cost untold wealth and
the sacrifice Of millions more Of
the best blood of the world.
All this is the fruit Of the do
ings of a worthless fanatic
assassination of one man; or at
least that incident was seized upon
as an excuse for the starting Of
the most stupendous, appalling
and destructive war known 70
modern history.
This small, insignificant spark
started confagration, the cost
of which may never be computed;
a confagration which threatens
the devastation of the wh1'e
earth.
Oh! the insane folly of the hu-
man race. All this sacrifice o.
life and property might have been
averted by wise counsel, sane and
satisfactory arbitration, but for
the ambition ad cOvetousness of
men, dominated by demoniacal
blood lust.-Ruston Leader.

is far preferable to correct A~lS-'

this is a rich mans war and

this is a rich mans war and a
poor's man fight.
We do not cOnscript physically
weak for the war. We ought not
to conscript the incomes of fnan-
cially weak people for the war.
The public has a very clear ap-
probation Of the justice Of this
proposition. If our rich people
are wise, they will meet the pub
lie little more than half way on
this question. And they will not
content themselves with buying
the tax-eXempt Government
bonds. nor will they feel that they
have done their bit when they
have cut down the number Of
their automobiles and household
servants. Such things may give
people with money a momentary
glow of self-satisfaction that may
pass in their own minds for
patriotism. But while the gen
eral public is hard up for car
fare, and lacking meat, coal and
shoes for, their children, such
economies of the rich will remain
unimpressive.
The only way that persons Of
wealth, who for one reason or
another will not fight, can guar
antee their patriotism in this
crisis is to make sacrifices which
will at least remotely approximate
those that this war will demand
Of the majority of our citizens.
Anything short of this will be
open to a pretty plain indictment
Of hypocrisy.
The people are not blind; they
are thoroughly aware Of the mer-
its of the case. They do not hate
the rich, but they are quick to re
sent anything in the nature of hy-
pocrisy. And all the fag-waving
in the world will not persuade
the average man that his more
fortunate neighbor is patriot, if
he either makes money out of the
war or tries to save his money
during it. In short the rich
man S patriotism is on trial and
the patriotism of Congress is on
trial, and the verdict will be rem
dered in the answer to the ques-
ton: Who is going to pay for
this war?

ator Simmons, Urges Con-
scription Of Incomes.

Hon. f. Mel. Simmons, Chairman
the Finance Committee, q. S
Senate, Washington, d. c.
My Dear Senator Simmons =
have just sent you a package OF
exhibits relating to the revenue
bill, and especially to the con
scription of large incomes for wal
purposes. The exhibits are
mounted on ten by fourteen card.
boards to make them easier to
handle. They are the resolutions
of business, civic, labor, farm and
religious organizations all over
the country which have met and
earnestly demanded that the D.
nancial burden of the war shall
be borne by those who are fnan-
cially able to bear it; and that
the war should be paid for as it
proceeds, and not leave a mort
gage in the handle of the bankers
on the men who fought the war
and their children. The people
who have formally made this de-
mand number not thousands but
millions.
The first two resolutions alone
represent two powerful, highly
organized associations with a
total membership Of about a mil
lion people. The resolution Of
the Farmers Non-P Partisan
League demanding CONSUMPTION of
incomes for war purposes, repre-
sents a hundred thousand. The
Ancient Order Of Cleaners, who
have endorsed the platform Of the
American Committee on War FL
nance, has membership Of over
a hundred thousand. The Farm
ers War Finance Committee, the
oranges, professional and business
men s groups, church conventions,
city councils, boards Of trade,
central labor councils, labor fede-
rations, local unions, women's
clubs and Sunday schools repre-
sent hundreds of thousands, in
fact, millions more.

is the keynote Of the demand that

plea which was eloquently made
