United States" said Representative
Rainey. "Illinois must send not only
her money. but her men to defend the
principles for which $4,000 Of her
sons gave Up their lives in the civil
war
illinois has already started to do
her bit. She has flleu her quota OF
the volunteer troops called for by
the nation. She has registered far
above her quota of men for service
under the selective CONSUMPTION law.
She will now do her bit in contribu-
ting to the vast food supply needed
by the United States and her allies in
this war.
THE great wheat fields of Europe
are in the hands or the enemy.
America must contribute three times
its normal amount Of wheat exports
to Europe. Illinois must be in the
front ranks OF the wheat States that
will send to Europe the food which
means more than armed men"
Uncle Joe" Cannon, who was to
be the speaker OF the evening, was
unable to attend the meeting. The
society made an appropriation Of $50

A REVENUE MONsTROSITY

The difficulty of applying taxation
in these unusual times so that it will
bear equitably and justly on all inter-
ests is fully appreciated. The impos-
sibility 10 put any plan into effect that
will satisfy these conditions do not re-
lieye the members OF Congress from
the South OF their selfish and sectiona,
action in flying into Il tantrum over
the proposition TO make cotton pay
its share OF the tax burden that is be-
ing imposed by the war. Their attl-
tude has bean exceedingly partisan,
and if not unpatriotic it was non-pa-
triotic.
The protest against the cotton TAX
comes from the Southern States with
poor grace when we consider the in
justice that was imposed on Northern
interests BY the Underwood tariff,
and which left the Northern farmer
open to competition with foreign pro-
6ucers while it protected the sacred
peanut of the South. Later the Solid
South phalanx joined in soaking the
manufacturing interests OF the North
by imposing the excess profits tax,
and boosted about it. That TAX has
been increased by the present revenue
bill, but the sectional spirit Quivereu
with rage when it is suggested that
cotton be made 10 pay but a small
moiety of the general burden. Just
what does the Southern Democracy
pant for besides the earth and the
fullness thereof?
We have been solemnly adjured TO
compose ourselves TO an earnest APP
probation Of the eXigencies the nation
is under and lay aside selfshness for
patriotism. The North has been Civ
ing a fine exemplitcation of this
spirit, but the South seems to be still
joined TO sectionalism. The hope of
the fair-minded lies with the Senate.
The revenue bill as composed by the
House is monstrous legislative i'll.
