Logging Operations Impeded.

Logging operations are SO badly in
terfered with that several large mills
now supplying the government with
this class of material may be forced
to discontinue operations. Numerous
fires are reported as the result of in
cendiarism.
The reports state that in many places
little or no rain has fallen for weeks
The forests are now so dry that any
fire which occurs is likely to become
dangerous conflagration.
With such conditions, it is pointed

BUSINESS BOOMS IN
OLDEST REPUBLIC

BARCELONA, Spain. July 20
Never in its history has the oldest re-
public in the worlds been quite SO pros
porous and happy and generally con-
tented as it is today. Perhaps that
statement may be subject to question.
The history of the republic of Andorra
reaches back into the darkest ages.
But the memory of the oldest inhab-
liant of the oldest republic does not
touch even a tradition of the bounc-
ing peace prosperity of the year 1917.
All the inhabitants of the republic
of Andorra are engaged in smuggling.
The trade is as open and candid and
sunlight-seeking as raising cabbages
under glass. No one thinks of de-
nying or excusing or concealing the
fact. There are Andorrans who by
reason of age or infirmities or laziness
do not personally smuggle. But each
is indirectly connected with the trade.
Innkeeper. herdsman, farmer. cigarette
maker. has his finger in the snug
Cling pie. Each in his day has run a
few cargoes over the SUBMITS of the

 Coffee is to pay a cent a pound tax, which will double or treble by the time the consumer pays it.
 Tea is to pay cents a pound tax, which will likewise increase in transfer.
 Cocoa, food for the sick and for children, is to pay 3 cents a pound, and the price increase will be not less than cents.
 Candy is to pay heavy tax.
 All soft drinks and soda fountain syrups are to be taxed.
 Every substitute for John Barley corn except water is to be taxed, and it is suspected that was merely overlooked.
 The only substantial thing the finance committee has done in the consumers interest has been to strike out the 10 per cent increase in tariff duties carried by the House bill.
 Just as serious as the transfer of the burden of war cost from the rich to the consumer is complete abandonment by the finance com mittee of the pay-as-go policy urged by the president.
 How far they have carried this abandonment is shown by the fol- lowing figures:
 Secretary NcAdoo, speaking pre- sumabIy for the president, urged 2.245,000.00O be raised this year by taxation. The house bill would have produced S1.S57O00,0G0. Senator Simmons says only $1,5G0,- O00,000 will be raised by taxation more than billion dollars less than the president urged.

 Possibly" it says, "this strange body that calls itself the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers Deputies represents a million of the 170,000,- 900 of Russia's population. The radical leaders of the Council have been very bold, even impudent. No law of Russia, no election, has given them a representative character, yet they have behaved as though they were really the Government, or a coordinate branch thereof"
 The Times has so narrowed it's outlook in supporting the aims of American financiers that it neglects to apply the ordinary historical knowledge it must posses. Russia IS Tn state OI TefOlullOH, anu any Government temporarily set up re- tains it's position only upon the suf- ferance of the forces behind the rev olution. Revolutions bring their own laws with them. The Council of Workmens and Soldiers Depu- ties has as much right to the power it has assumed as the Pro- visional Government itself. Since the revolution overthrow the auto cracy the Russian people have not definitely established any govern ment. There have been no general elections. What is going on is e struggle for control between ele- ments that were practically orga- nized before the revolution-the enlightened bourgeois and the en- frightened proletarian, so far as can be discerned from this distance.
 tt certainly is not impudence for the proletarian or Socialist forces to assert themselves. On the con- trary it would be folly for them to give the bourgeCisie carte blanche, seeing what full-fedged bourgeois rule in other countries has already led the world into.-The People.

When special interests are taxed, they howl; when the poor are soak ed they keep still.
 This is one of She reasons why the war tax is being piled on the poor, while the rich escape.
 There are nine more reasons: Sim mons, Penrose, Lodge, Gallinger, Shoot, Townsend, Williams, Hoke Smith and Stone.
 These have a majority of votes in the Senate committee, and they have gone so far in the process of ramming the gouge into the poor that their records are too well known to need Who's Whoing here, but this is the way the godging is done.
