If I weren't such lazy brute
I'd use each active waking hour,
To bring me fame and vast repute
And fortune and tremendous power
I'd write the books I've dreamed about
I'd sing the songs I've planned TO sing,
I'd never yield 10 fear or doubt
But win in spite Of everything.
II weren't such lazy brute
I'd never leaf with careless folk
Whose ways are low and dissolute
Who look at life as half joke
I'd never Join a poker game
And nary frame Of pool I'd shoot,
Such things would Nh my soul with shame
If weren't such a lazy brute.
II I weren't such a lazy brute
I'd listen 10 ambitions call,
I'd make each moment bear me fruit
wouldn't yield to pleasures thralL
I wouldn't loiter, drowse and shirk,
Prosrastinate and dodge my JOB
I'd be a gluttOn for my work
And climb above the common mob.
Yet. when this all is said and done,
Perhaps I'd never gain repute
And-gee, I'd miss lot OF fun

walked all around a reservoir hunting
water. He talked Of digging a well All
the time an abundpnce of CRY ,al hmd
was at hand.
Simmons proposes TO dig down into
the pockets Of the ordinary consumer.
who is going to assume more than hls
share of war burdens before he is thru.
The ordinary consumer is already hav-
ing his troubles making ends meet.
Every increase in earnings is more
than counterbalanced by mounting food
and clothing prices.
There remains for the consideration Of
Simmons and his fellow senators the
huge corporations which have for the
past three years been fsttening off Of
the war and which will continue to do so.
It is estimated that the war profits, in
excess Of the ordinary profits, RUN
VERY CLOSE TO FIVE BILLIONS
PER ANNUM.
The United States steel corporation
alone earns SSS5QO0,0OO excess profits
per annum.
Every time the representatives Of
these big concerns come to Washington
to talk about the price Of steel or cop
per, or what not, they say in effect:
let US charge price We think viii
keep our business booming and our plants
busy.
Then you can grab back for the gov
eminent any excessive profit by heavy
tax on our earnings
OF course, they were merely blufing
They had bled England and France
and Russia, hard pressed by war neces-
sites. They were perfectly willing to
bleed their own country. They had no
idea their bluff might be called.
II might penetrate the mighty brains
of Simmons and his fellow finance mem
bers that now is the time to call the
bluff of all the war bride and war baby
corporations.
England levies a tax Of about 80 per
cent upon excess profits. The same thing
might be done here with equal Justice.
TT WOULD CERTAINLY BE A Pc
CULLAR. WAR FOR DEMOCRACY
WHICH SENT DEMOCRACY'S SONS
TO BATTLE AND TAXED DEMOC-
RACY'S TEA AND COFFEE AND
FOOD AND CLOTHING TO PAY FOR
1T. WHILE PLUTOCRACY, WHICH
OFF or WAR. WAS LEFT
COMPARATIVELY IMMUNE.
The country as whole has very
profound and well-settled opinion that if
the finance committee will buckle down
honestly to work it will find it can raise
almost all the revenue needed by taxing
he excess corporation profits and the ex-
ressive incomes Of the very rich.
1t is far better for them to pay this to
Uncle Sam as a war tax than TO hand it
over to Kaiser Wilhelm as a war indem-
nifty.
