Rich, Poor and Revenue.

This is Mr.. Kitchin's indictment of
the Senate finance committees revision
of the House revenue bill: That it con-
Itains @intolerable inequalities in favor of
the more, prosperous; that ''the burden
of taxation has been taken from big
business and placed upon the farmer,
the small business man and others with
modest incomes; that "the House pro-
visions taxing luxuries have been
stricken out and taxes on necessities
substituted; that "the House income
tax schedule, which would have taken a
large part Of the needed revenue from
the rich, has been eliminated and that
1'the Senate excess profits tax section is
inequitable and impossible of admins
tration." ="
This is in the nature Of a warning,
that if the Senate ratifes the finance
committees work there will be a hot
time in conference over the amended
measure. As Mr.. Kitchin and Senator
Simmons are North Carolinians, and
long have been of the same school of
taxation, the shindy between them in
conference.-the win be members of
the conference committee-should at
least be entertaining.
It is needless tt, say that the country
does not want, nor does the necessity
require, bill aimed unduly at either
the rich or thespoor. Both rich and poor
should contribute of treasure, as both
will of blood, toward the support Of the
war. The charge that this is a rich
mans war-that is, that wealth brought
it on-succeeded the charge that pre-
paredness was rich mans policy.
If changes are rung on that theme,
before conference, in conference and
when the conference report is taken up
for debate in House and Senate, the
bill will be late in reaching the White
House. No other theme lends itself at
this time quite so much to discussion;
and words spoken and votes cast now
on this revenue measure will have to
be. accounted for at the polls next year,
when a new House and a third of the
Senate viii be IN the scale.
The bill reported by the finance com
nittee is the record for size, and maybe
for difficulties in the drafting. Some
new ground had to be explored; and
even old ground had to be traversed
with care. How the amended measure
will fare in the open Senate Is a ques-
ton. But most likely the Senate viii
sustain its committee in the important
features, and thus invite the contest in
conference on the lines Mr.. Kitehin in
dicates the House will square of for
battle.

Russia.

In its political aspects the Russian
revolution is marching" as the French
say. It is advancing toward order and
government, though by steps difficult
and at times hating. Still, it is going
ahead, and there are signs that the ele-
ments of violence and extreme radical
ism are being steadily mastered and
brought into discipline. If there. had
been no panic in the ranks of the army,
which had begun an offensive move
ment in splendid spirit and with excel
lent results, there would be reason to-
day fer feeling of complete gratifca-
ton at the change at Petrograd. In a
way the military detection has been an
essential part Of the great political
change. The misfortune is that it oe-

OF general engagement after a large
advance left loyal parts of the army
exposed to peril and forced general
retreat, which is still in progress. APP
rarently the disaffection itself has been
checked, but the consequences continue
as the lines fall back.
Yesterday at Petrograd evidence ap-
peared that the political troubles are in

The Peace That Germany Wants.

What is there in the Office Of chan
cellor of the German empire that causes
the incumbent to say the wrong thing
Won Bethmann Hollweg said several
wrong things, such as "scrap of paper"
and necessity knows no law" That is,
they were wrong things from the point
Of view of ordinary common sense,
though from the German standpoint
they may have been the most brilliant
and Apient utterances. Now comes
Michaelis, who, barely established in Of
fee, begins to talk in the same strain.
At the reichstag building reception in
commemoration of the opening of the
fourth year of war, Saturday, Michaelis
said, according to authentic report:
1--WE all know what we want. We will
hand our patrimony intact to the future
generations. We will guarantee our
children and grandchildren against the
misfortune of a war like this. We will
preserve our country. by strong and
wise peace. in order that the German
race may retain sure ground for its
healthy and vigorous development"
This means simply that according to
the present purpose of the German en-
pire there will be no peace save such as
Germany dictates, peace that will.
leave Germany 'intact," which viii be
precisely as Germany was before the
war-colonies and all; peace that viii
f1r
1sure ground for healthy and vigorous
Development
This means that Germany will make
the peace, so strong and wise" that
there will be no recurrence of war, at
least two generations to- come. How
can Germany guarantee surcease from
war to the children and grandchildren
By fighting her present enemies to the
point of their complete exhaustion, So
that they cannot for long period re-
new their fight.
Thus the Michaelis proposition is that
Germany viii make the peace, on her
own terms, which will guarantee her
colonies, complete territorial integrity,
no indemnities for the foe, and with
assurances that no enemy will arise with
In at least fifty or sixty years to dis
turb the peace of posterity.
An idea appears to prevail in entente
circles that this is precisely what must
not happen; that whatever the peace
terms may be as to territory or indemni-
ties, Germany must not be left In po-
sition to renew the fight at her own
time of choosing and on her own basis.
Thus if the Micha,,lis speech Saturday,
was not mere wind, it indicates that the
peace talk emanating from Berlin is all
fraud and that Germany does not
want peace save of her own making and
her own kind. She must not have peace
of that nature

Mr.. Roots belief that the q. 8. A. will
become a subject nation IL Germany
wins is the expression Of a keenly log
ical mind. The logieian, however, neg
lects to take into account the con-
sideration Of temperament, and the
American temperament would be some
thing to reckon with, even under con-
ditions that seemed to place all the ad-
vantage with would-be autocrat.

Happy Farmer.

Happy Farmer.
Now life on the farm has a wonderful
charm,
Where the breakfast is ready so early
With large patch of ground where po-
tatoes abound,
There isn't chance to be surly.
When a farmer goes down to the busy
old town
With the fruits of the fields broad
and sunny
He's obliged to delay, ere he winds up
the day,
For the purpose of banking his money.
He propagates kale, puts up hay by the
bale,
While the little birds carelessly carol.
He sells by the quart food of every sort
That he carries to town by the barrel.
He is happy, indeed. fellow mortals to
feed,
But-and this seems a little bit
funny
He is happier still setting forth with a
will.
Fos the purpose Of banking his
money!

appears that the local organizations
along the road have been raising the
melons, but beyond packing and
loading them on the cars nothing fur

SUCCEEDS EDISON
A New Firm Takes Over
Successful Harness
Business

A business change, the announce
ment of which will create no little
surprise, occurred in Liberal, Janu-
airy 1st, when c. w. Edison sold his
harness business to a new firm to be
known as the Evans Harness Com
pany, composed of ]. N. Evans, Ern-
est Evans and c. Earl Ames.
Mr.. Edison has been in business so
long and seemed so firmly established
that no one dreamed that he contem-
plated making change.
The members of the new firm are
old residents here. ]. N. Evans came
| to Western Kansas when there was
little here except buffalo grass. He
has taken part in the affairs of the
county almost since it was county,
was later postmaster and is at the
present time assistant cashier Of the
Peoples State Bank, being one of the
organizers Of the institution. He will
remain IN the bank.

is another member who needs no in
PRODUCTION. He is a Seward county
boy. He secured his education in the
Liberal schools, supplementing 1t with
a course at Southwestern Academy
and st. John Military Academy at Sa-
lima. He has grown to manhood
here, and Christmas day took bride
whom he will establish here in new
home.
G. Earl Ames also has been here a
number of years. He has been with
the Edison store and is we'll and fav.
orably known by the patrons of the
store. He is good business man
understands the needs of the public
and as manager of the business Is
sure to be successful.
Ernest Evans will assist in the
store and learn the the business.
4 aThissbuslness has long been recog.
nized as one of the best in this part
of the country. The goods handled
and work done here being of higb
quality. 1t has enjoyed liberal pat
ronage which will no doubt continue
to come to the new firm, and the
members are to be congratulated on
securing it.
Mr.. Edison will go to his ranch in
Colorado where he expects to make
his home. Should he decide to re-
