TAXES AS AN ITEM OF COST.

The New York Journal OF Com
merce stresses the point III the
matter of war taxes that The Post
has so often emphasized since the
war revenue bill was reported
tHThere is a strong argument,
If saws, against trying to raise
too much of the needed war rev.
enue by special taxation rather
than by loans. The present per-
iod will have a heavy burden to
bear in the way of service as well
as expense, on account of the war,
and it needs to have industries
and trade as little Instructed as
possible by costs that are not act
ually necessary.
Taxes are an important item OF
cost even in time Of peace, but
doubly so in a time of war when
higher taxes are imposed by all
the taxing authorities-t'ederal,
State, county, municipal and
special. The people will have
to pay this year more than $o,OOO,-
100000 in taxes of all kinds. That
IS more than all the cotton, corn
and wheat Of the country would
bring in a normal year.
And added to the taxes are the
higher prices that must 'be paid
for all raw materials and all pro-
ducts that are in the category OF
living necessities.
1t is for this reason that III
levying war taxes, the burden
should be made as light as posi-
Die upon the processes OF produc-
ton, because the more the process
is taxed, the greater the restric-
ton upon consumption and upon
operation. -
It is proper to get revenue
from profits the final stage Of
business endeavor, and the one
certain element.
Prolific production can only be
obtained when the cost is at the
minimum. Because when the min
mum cost Of production is pres
ent. there will be maximum de-
mand and consumption, and con-
sequent profits available for gov
ernment uses.
A burdensome cost of produc-
ton means diminished output,
high prices and a minimum OF
profit or perhaps no profit at all
1t is not too soon for our states
men to learn that taxes are al
ways an important element OF
cost, even in peace. No matter
who actually turns the money into
a public treasury, it comes out of
the labor of the country. and is
burden. Our statesmen never
legislate as if they knew this to
be true.
They can never understand that
all the burdens they pile upon pub
lie utilities must at last fall upon
the public in some form or anoth-
err. They are apparently satisfied
when they have convinced the
public that they have tolled
the utilities heavily and made
them vince.
1t would be a fortunate thing
if there were some way to sys-
tematically inform the people
how much they suffer through the
application of false principles of
taxation and regulation. AS a
general thing the very moment
the statesman is telling them that
heavy taxes and strict regulation
have been laid with an iron hand
upon capital, what has really
happened is merely a heavier bur-
den upon toll and production

QUARTERMASTER
TRUCK DRIVERS
RESENT ARTICLE

Truck drivers from the 0uartermas.
ter corps At Schotieid Barracks have
called the attention of the Star-BuIla
tin to an article printed last week IL
q morning paper which stated that
most OF the motor trucks AT the BIS
post are owned by the 9th Field Artil-
leTy.
As matter OF fact, say the quar-
tsTmaSter DIR. t-s. most Of the trucks
are owned by tae quartermaster's de-
partment, and the real work" at
Sehofield Is done by them. Often, they
say, they are compelled to help the
9th FIELD Artillery out Of the ditch.
these not being expert chautteurs or
skilled drivers
As TO the hauling OF lumber and
supplies and doing the heavy work at
The post, this Is up to the quarter
master trucks. All baggage of officers
is hauled out by them from Honolulu
when transports arrive. Troops in the
field are supplied by the quar:ermas-
ter drivers. Thus it is they feel that a
story giving the 9th Field ARTILLERY
praise for this work Is not entirely
fair.
We don't have time tor drills" said
one driver, commenting on the arti-
Gle. We don't learn how to stop and
start on a signal. AS a matter OF fact
We are moving all the time, except
when We stop for a moment to pull
nine or ten artillery trucks out of the
ditch, as occurred during recent
rainy spell at Schofield.

Two more aspirants are out for
the Belington post office, DR..
A. Fl. Woodford, and the present
Postmaster B. B. Rohrbough.
DR.. Woodford is well known in
Belington and an introduction
here is unneces sary, but it can be
said Of him that one can always
tell just where he stands from
the start on any issue. He is a
lifelong Democrat and has al
ways been active in proclaiming
the principle of his party, and is
deserving recognition from this
party.
Mr.. Rohrbough has been in the
limelight of his party for a num-
Der of years and no one would
question his fidelity to it. He has
filled the position as postmaster
here for The past three years,
dutifully, carefully and satisfac-
torily, proving his ability for an
other term.
The Progressive has no choice
in the postmastership, but hopes
that thecontestants and the peop-
lie will have been satisfied with
the appointment when made.

BIG FIRE IN STORE
BUILDING LAST NIGHT

Last night about II O'Clock tie
fire alarm was given which called
out many people from their slum-
bers to the fire scene where it
was found that Elihue Wares
store was ablaze. By hard fight
ing on the part Of the IRE boys,
and with the help of many of the
citizens, the fire was halted, and
the goods were taken from the
building to the streets. After all
the goods on the first. floor were
taken cut, the fire kept on stub
bornly and at times it seemed
that the whole building would go,
but at about / o'clock this morn
ing the fire was under control
and did not reach the first floor.
The cause of the fire is I'M
known; itappears to have started
in the front side next to the river
in the picture frame room. Mr..
Ware had his photograph CALLER
les on the second floor where all
his equipment was at the time of
the fire; by hard work the fire.
men worked their way around
to the rear and saved the cameras
and other important equipment
about the galleries; the back
ground scenery and articles in
the developing room were all
burned or spoiled.
The damage done to the lower
rooms by the water is about as
much as if the fire had done its
destructive work. The building
is a wreck; and almost beyond
repair.
The merchandise taken out
was afterward removed to the
Thomas building on Bridge Street
for storage. The damage done
to the goods cannot be estimated,
but the worst damage appears to
be the groceries as they were
right under where the main fire
was.
Mr.. Ware had some insurance
on the building, but nothing on
the stock Of goods. The loss
will run up in the thousands.
