More Morality and More
Funds Lie In Publicity
Income Tax Is DOdged

Under President Wilson'S policy Of re-
fusing publicity, there was a decrease of
21.OO0 in the number Of income taxpay-
ers in 1916 from the previous year.
While the large part of the decrease
was undoubtedly due 70 outright and ras-
cally lodging. a considerable part was
probably due TO the big payers having
discovered legitimate ways in which 70
avoid giving up their money to the gov
eminent
Pretty much all Of US are would-be tax
dodgers, in degree. When A sees his
neighbor B undertaking his property for
assessment, or escaping all taxation and
getting away with it, it is only human
nature in A to call his conscience's at
tention to the gross injustice Of his pay
ing BIS share simply because he ca is
honest. At least, the general inclination
is to value ones property low for assess
ment. and let the assessor find it out,
if he's sharp enough What the duty of
valuing ones property for tax purposes
has done to the human conscience is
plenty.
The house measure, now in the senate,
will add many thousands of new income
taxpayers to the list, if passed, because
it lowers the exemptions.
The crowd will be larger, which means
if government relies, as now, upon a
small body Of tax seuths, that escape
will be easier for the big dodgers.
The returns for this eyear may even
show a much larger number Of payers
with nowhere near the corresponding in
crease in the money taken in.

"A Free Ireland Must,
Most Certainly, Be a Part
Of the Democratic Scheme

It has been decided by the British gov
eminent to free all the prisoners who
were taken in the Irish rebellion of the
spring of 1916 for which the unhappy
Sir Roger Easement, its leader, was
hanged as traitor.
That the United States entrance in
the war and the plea sent to the British
parliament that the Irish question be
given prompt attention and settled if
possible has had considerable to do with
this clemency on the part of the govern
ment, there can be little doubt.
America wishes to rub off of the slate
of her Allies anything which may be in
compatible with their stand for human
ity. democracy and the rights Of small
nations to have voice in the matter Of
who shall govern them.
In spite of the expressed desire Of the
Obstetrics for protection from the British
government, for reasons connected main
" with industrial problems, the people
of Ireland have shown in unmistakable
and divers ways, that they want above
all things chance to manage their own
affairs.
OF the Celtic race, poetical, warm
hearted, emotional, it is a natural con-
sequence that domination by the cold,
undemonstrative English should be a
failure on the Emerald Isle.
The treatment of Ireland, the taking
away of her lands, the exploitation Of
her people, all for material gain, is a
blot on England which should be eradi-
Gated as soon as possible if Great Britain
and America are TO stand arm and arm.
their flags entwined for this ideal Of
democracy which they have heralded TO
all the world
Therefore it is well that the Irish pris-
oners are freed before the Irish conven-
ton which is about TO take place-and it
must be a lasting regret to all Americans
that this "clemency" on the part Of the
British government came too late to save
The neck of that dauntless Irish patriot,
Sir Roger Easement.

Only Germany to Blame

r Germany. a great country, so capable,
so efficient. composed largely Of profess
sors and philosophers, has been guilty
of the grossest stupidity imaginable in
the acts which she has perpetrated upon
the world
In the first place, she was not able to
foresee that her violation Of Belgian neu-

into the war and reckoned without the
opposition of England in her plans.
In the second place, she was incapable
of understanding that the brutal treat

her. She gained a little, materially. and
lost the respect Of nearly all nations.

He is convinced, further, that it will
not be won without the limit Of sacrifice
