LEvYIN0 TAXES.

Three distinct methods of providing
revenues for public purposes are fol-
lowed in our three classes of govern
ment. national. state and municipal.
In the federal government there is
no such thing as general tax, that
is, a tax levy made for the purpose of
providing all. or nearly all Of the rev.
enues for tho ensuing period. Con-
gress. which has sole control of the
raising of revenues. provides for the
funds piecemeal. Duties on imports
provide more funds than any other
method OF taxation. These are pro-
vided for in tariff bill which oper-
ates until repealed or amended, and
which is enacted without reference to
the sums which 1t will be necessary
to raise for the purposes for which
they are to be spent Income taxes
are levied separately in the same man.
ner. Internal revenue taxes constitute
another important source Of revenue,
and these are provided in the same
manner by means Of continuing legis-
lation. If the existing provisions in
these directions were sufficient and
satisfactory the government might 20
on year after year without going
through the operation Of levying any
tax whatever. tho funds being derived
from the operation OF laws enacted in
former years.
In our state government we follow
another plan. The legislature makes
the appropriations, and it may, and
sometimes does. levy special taxes, a
fraction of a mill for this purpose, and
another fraction for another purpose.
But another body, the equalizat ton
board, makes the formal levies of tax
es for general purposes. There is thus
opportunity for failure of the pur-
pose Of the legislature through failure
to provide sufficient means to carry
out that purpose on the part of the
equalization board.
In our municipal government, IN
this state. at least, the practice is for
the body which authorizes the ex-
penditure and makes the appropria-
ton to make the actual levy. The
county commissioners, for instance,
decide on the expenditure Of certain
sums for certain purposes, and in or
der to raise the sums needed they levy
a tax Of a certain number Of mills on
the dollar. This is the practice in our
cities. school districts. townships and
park boards. 1t has the advantage of
placing in the hands Of the body re-
sponsible for the expenditure the au-
thority to raise the money required.

CURTAmMG MANUFACTURE

"A minneapolis news note says tnat
the flour mills Of that city will
mediately decrease their flour output,
partly because of the uncertain inter-
national situation which makes 1t
difficult to obtain shipping, and part
ly because Of inability to obtain cars
from tho east. Just at this moment
this is likely to make little difference
to tho Northwestern farmer. If the
diminished grinding continues a lit
tie later 1t will make impossible the
marketing Of quantities Of wheat
which will be offered when spring
hauling Is resumed. Whatever pro-
portion Of wheat still remains in the
hands Of the farmers, there is always
some selling in the spring. Obviously
If the mills cannot ship they cannot
grind, for they have not storage IA
cilities to provide for the accumula-
tion Of moro than a moro fraction Of
their output. It Is one Of the essen
tials Of the handling Of wheat, from
the farmer to the baker. that 1t be
kept moving. demand and supply are
so enormous that check in the flow
In any Of its main currents means
congestion and disorganisation.
No good citizen will consider the
effect on his own pocket in any way
which will influence his action in
cases of great human rights. where
human lives and liberties are at
stake. But the manner in which the
Minneapolis mills. and naturally, all
other mills, are affected by the chok-
ing Of our ports with idle shipping
sheds a little light on the closeness
Of the relation between the prosper
ity of the farmer Of the northwest
and the freedom Of ocean commerce

he step has its origin much earlier

the step has its origin much earlier
It dates back to the time when Ger
many began her indiscriminats war
fare against merchant vessels. There
has never been any question as to
Germany's right to cut off her enc
mics from communication with the
rest Of the world, by sea or land, II
she could do SO in accordance with
the rules which have been establish
ed for the protection of neutral
rights. There have been questions as
70 what property a belligerent was at
liberty to destroy without compensa-
ton and what might properly be cap
tured or destroyed subject to the
payment Of damages to the owners.
But these questions. while grave
enough, and embarrassing enough, at
times, have never menaced US with
war, for. while it was recognized that
injuries might be inflicted by the
violation Of what we held to be the
inviolable rules Of international rela-
tions. it was also recognized that so
long as these injuries were capable
of being reduced to terms of dollars
and cents. as they related to the com.
mercial value of ship and cargo, they
were capable Of being adjusted on
the same basis
But when human life is deliberate
ly taken, that loss cannot be adjusted
And it was when Germany made
known her purpose to carry on her
warfare without regard for the
lives Of neutral people that 1t
became inevitable that unless her
purpose were chan~ed. Merchant
vessels must be armed to COM
bat with this new terror Of the seas.
Had it been possible to know in ad-
vance that Germany was not to be
turned from her purposes, there
would have been no excuse for watt
ing all these months before taking Of
fective action. 1t appeared incred-
ible that her settled purpose could
be that which was reflected in her
acts. She was givenIall tho beneit
Of the doubt. She was urged not to
abandon her position as a civilized
nation by resorting to the practices
OF the savage. And from time to
time. she gave some indications of
yielding to the demands made on
her, and she made a half-hearted and
temporary compliance. Because Of
these things the issues were not press-
ed, and action was postponed. AS
it has proven, postponment was use-
less. The German government never
intended to improve its conduct, and
during the period when it was going
through the forms Of doing so, It
was merely pausing in order that
plans for further measures of fright
fulness might be undertaken with
vigor and effectiveness.
American merchant vessels are to
be armed. and at once. Just how they
are armed. when and to what ports
they sail, and Just what is the char
acter Of the armament provided, are
matters concerning which. 1t is under.

ABOUT SHOOTING FIRST.

Either OF two courses Is possible Tor
the commanders Of American vessels
having business on the other side Of
the Atlantic. They may keey away
from those waters Of the open ocean
which the German government has
chosen to designate as a danger zone.
or they may go appropriately armed,
remain constantly on the alert, and.
at the first sign Of anything which
they identify as a German submarine.
shoot and sink it il they can.
II they follow the first course they
will escape, for the time being, with
whole skins. They may sit and twiddle
their thumbs. their occupation gone,
their ships rotting in the harbors and
the docks loaded with freight which
they cannot move. Not only will they
have surrendered their own rights.
which may be a personal and indi-
vidual matter, but they will have ac-
quiesced in the overthrow by force Of
that freedom Of action for which men
have been willing to fight since the
beginning Of the world. They will
have aided in the re-establishment Of
despotism. But they will have saved
their carcasses.
II they adopt the other course they
Will merely be following the course.
which is followed by men everywhere
when they are menaced, provided they
intend to defend themselves In the
days Of our American frontier when
. local bully announced his intention
Of shooting on sight some man for
whom he had conceived dislike. the
man thus menaced did not walt to
permit tho other to begin the shoot
ing. He began it himself, If he was
quick enough. Tho attack was right
fully supposed to have been begun
with the making Of tho threat by
man who had tho means to put It
into execution. Under tho declaration
