is chiefly on the answer to this ques-

Big and little interests descended
upon the Congress last week with vi
olent protests to the effect that the
taxes proposed in the $1,80O,OOO, 900
war tax bill would bear too heavily
upon them. Nearly every one declar-
ed that his particular business seem
ed to have been singled out as the
target of an unjust and exorbitant
tax. So. There is a good deal of
human nature in most folks. Men
are prone to think wnen their own
'artjcular business is touched that
somebody has laid awake nights fig
uring out how to tax that particular
business to death. tits all right to
tax the oher fellows business; it is
his patriotic duty to pay with a smile
gladly, because the government needs
the money; but it is horse of an
other color when it comes home.

NOW is THE TIME TO ACT

A campaign for greater food pro-
duction in Robson county is being
pushed vigorously now. What is to
be done to help the situation this
year must be done at once. Soon it
will be too late. When you see a
half-page ad on the first page of
The Robesonian you may know that
something important has broken
loose. Read that ad and resolve to
do your possible toward saving Robe
son county people having to buy food
stuffs away from home this year
This is sorry business in normal times
and now it is real danger to de-
perd upon buying home supplies, fol
ut may not be possible to get then
shipped in, no matter how much mon.
ey you may have to buy with.
II any readers of The Robesoniar
have the idea that this is not coins
to be much Of a war and that ther,
is no use in all this talk about pro
ducing more food. that idea ought t,
be abandoned. The war may las
several years-nobody knows-an,
there is grave danger of real hard
ships and suffering right here il
Robson, unless the people of tn
county resolve right now, and act up
on that resolution, to raise enougl
home supplies.
Now is the time to act.

ENOUGH is ENOUGH

An ancient city there was on the
approaches whereto oft-repeated
signs admonished the traveller: "Be
Bofd," "Be Bold", "Evermore Be
Bold. These signs caused the
heart of the traveller to be lifted up
and to swell greatly within him until
the innermost gate of the city was
reached, and above this innermost
gate was the final warning, "Be Not
Too Bold".
In this painfully modern and un-
precedented hour of now the trav-
eler in any part of this vale of tears
is admonised on every hand: "Be
Economical, "Be Economical, "Ev-
ermore Be Economical'. But having
by these oft-repeated signs worked
John and Henry and Mary Jane and
the rest up to the point where they
have about decided to live on a crust
and wear old clothes, comes now the
whisper, "Be Not Too Doggone Eco
nomicaP'.
If you do you'll spill the beans.
Which is to say that you can work
a good thing to death. To be eco
nomical and avoid waste is shin
ing virtue at all times, and now it is
LIE ItLlSlouS uuIy VI every ciIlAeH,
but if the people heed the admonition
to be economical to the point of teeth
chattering timidity and everybody
gets afraid to spend nickel, the last
state will be worse than the first

that business will be just as good
tTG,fing the next twelve months as it
has been during the past year; may
be better. But if folks get scared of
their shadows and begin to fall over
each other in haste to crawl into a
hole and pull the hole in after them
then naturally things will 60 to
smash.
Which you naturally know is bound
to be so.
"Be bold, be bold, evermore be
