Suppose a farmer has big acre.
age and always has had one son to
assist him. or really to help manage
his business. Now, the local exemp-
tion board would know that case thor
oughly. They would know that to take
away that son would hurt the produc-
tiveness of that farm, and thereby the
nations food supply. But suppose the
man had two or three sons, and the To-
cal board knew that the farmer could
spare one or possibly two of them and
still turn over a big crop, that there
were men above the military ageswho
were available to take the sons places,
and that labor had been plentiful in
that section. 1t would be unwise to
make exemptions in that case. But it
might be that labor was scarce and
that the farm could not be managed if
the boys were taken away. The local
board would have power to make any
exemption deemed necessary to keep
the farms manned.s
But the war department isn't ANTI
pating any difficulty, chiefly because
the patriotism of the American youth
lean be depended upon. What son
would stay at home or could, consist.
ent with his self-respect in the commu-
nifty, if it were generally know that he
could be spared? What son would
want the exemption unless the local
board insisted upon it? And, in most
cases it probably will be the employers
Of farm labor who will be instrumental
in procuring exemptions over the pro
test, no doubt, of the very youngsters
affected.
. But the local board will have orders
not to. permit any men to go to war
until satisfied that industries would
not be vitally affected
That is the whole principle underlying
the conscription act as distinguished
from volunteering. Under the latter
system, the patriotic ardor of the
youth could not be restrained. and the
business and agricultural fabric of
nation, it was argued, would be under
mined.

country. at least, is concerned It be.
comes Of the utmost importance that
food and munitions and other war sup
plies needed by ourselves and our al
lies shall not only be produced in as
great quantities as heretofore, but in
even greater bulk.
The government, in effect. there
fore, will say through the instrumen-
tahties OF local boards familiar with
local conditions what men should go
to war and what men are distinctly
needed In agriculture and other lines
of work valuable to the national de-
fense. And men exempted win be Civ
en- a button to wear, which shall lndi-
cate that the government rejected
them because they were too valuable
at home, and not because they were
unwilling to give their lives to the ma
tion. In that way win the hateful
word Stacker" remain out Of the
American vocabulary.
OF course, later on, if another incre-
ment of one-half million men shall be
called for. there would another digging
into the jury wheel for more names,
but war department officials see no
reason why the exemption process
need undergo any change.

HOW THE sELEcTlVE DRAFT LAW
WILL WORK

Many Misunderstanding especially
in regard to exemptions, are cleared
concerning the selective draft law by
David Lawrence in an article in the
New York Evening Post. After talk
ing at length with Secretary Baker and
officers of the general staff of the ar
my, Mr.. Lawrence writes in past as
follows:
The conscription law, it was pointed
cut to me, will take only one-half mil
lion men, or one out Of every twenty,
enrolled as of military age.
a was informed that extensive pow
ers would be granted to the local ex-
emption boards. First Of all, all men
between 21 and 80 would enroll Ton
June 81. Their names would be placed
in a jury wheel and drawn, so many
for each state according to the per-
centage Of state population to the total
needed.
OF the men chosen physical exami-
nation as well as answers to certain
questions, such as employment, de-
pendent relatives, etc, would be re
quired. In some cases the exemptions
would be automatically made by the
local board. in others exemptions
would have to be applied for.
Secretary Baker believes that it
would be a mistake to announce that
all agricultural workers Of munitions
employees or laborers iti other trades
were to be exempted from military SER
vice. Every business would be able to
prove in these days Of social complex
ity that it was related to the national
defense. Few Industries are not But
the generalities in the conscription law
permit the application of common sense
rules. Common sense, indeed, will be
the principle applied, | am informed,
and therefore every man can determine
after being drafted exactly whether he
is to be called to military service by
the following reasoning in the follow
ing cases cited to me by high war
department official:

EXPERT ASSERTS FLOUR MILLS
WILL MAKE s|4, $4,000 PROFIT

from this we deduct the value of the
mill feed, which is $122, we have left
a balance of $3.50, which should be the
wholesale selling price of barrel of
flour in Spokane today.
Coast Needs 23,OOO,0O0 Bushels
1--WE will need about 100000 bush
els for home consumption this year.
California will produce about 100000
bushels and will need 20,000,000 so
they will use 100000 bushels of our
product. Therefore, there are at least
23000,000 bushels that will be used on
this coast. This will make little
over 100000 barrels of flour. The
difference between $3.50 which they
should charge per barrel and $11.20
which they do charge is $2.S7.
How Profits Pile Up
"At this rate the flour mills will get
100000 times $2.S7, or 1850 900, ex-
cess profit on the Pacific coast over
and above the government allowance
of rs cents per barrel manufacturing
cost and 25 cents legitimate profit. The
80 cents differential between here and
Chicago on 23,O00,000 bushels con-
sumed at home would amount to &c.
100000 which should be distributed
among the producers, or deducted form
the PRICE which the consumer is asked
to pay Under present conditions this
will be divided among the mi1lers. The
wholesale price of flour in Spokane to-
day is only 80 cents per barrel less
than the Minneapolis quotation. Is it
any wonder that the millers are salts
fled with the present arrangement?
1--WE are confident that it was the
governments idea to stimulate produc-
ton and also to protect the consumer.
Surely, it was not intended to allow
the manufacturing interests such an
opportunity for excess profits
