A Severe Test

How to tell if you love her well
enough to marry her is the problem
the horse editor Of the Paris Appeal
solves for its bachelor readers. Says
the n. E.: ouc9
"Well, my boy, imagine her on q
hot, sticky day bending over a wash
tub, scrubbing your clothes as you,
mother used to do. Picture her; as
you enter, stopping her work and wip-
ing the perspiration from her face
with the corner of her apon.- If you
feel that you would still care to kiss
her; that she still looks as good to you
as she does in her party toys, go right
ahead and marry her. She's the girl.

II Not by Bonds, by Taxes

THIS war must DO financed. Our own
expenditures must be met and almost
unlimited credits must be extended to our
allies. All thoughtful men recognize these
facts and are preparing to face them. But
there many thoughtless people among us
who apparently fail to realize the necessity
of paying the wars bills. For that reason
the second Liberty loan is tagging. We might
as we'll look the situation sQuarely in the
face. We might as we'll understand now thae
if the issue of bonds fails-this issue any
other-the money will be raised by taxation
If the necessary funds are not loaned to the
government they will be taken by the gov
eminent They must be produced by one
process or the other, and they will be produced
by or the other.
Speaker Clark gave timely warning Of this
in statement issued a few days ago. He
told the country that Congress had passed
within recent weeks the most sweeping war
tax bill ever conceived in this country. but he
added that this would prove a mere beginner
if tho borrowing resources OF the government
should be paralyzed by money slackers. 1t
should be remembered that the government
has only two methods of raising money. One
Is by taxation and the other by borrowing
through the issue of bonds. Both arc being
resorted to in the present instance. Approx
mately S4.000000,000 will be raised through
the imposition Of war taxation, plus normal
taxation. Four times much more will be
sought through the issue of bonds in order to
meet the expense OF the first years fighting
Of our own armies and the demands upon us
from our war associates.
In effect, taxation is financial CONSUMPTION.
The money raised is money exacted There
Ia no direct return from it. 1t is a gift to
the nation and must be charged of the books
as money which is gone. Every man knows,
however patriotic he may be, that the pay
ment of taxes is disagreeable duty. And it
is disagreeable for the very that its
reward seems far removed. Bond-buying,
on the other hand, is a straight investment of
funds 1t is an investment than which there
is none more secure upon the earth. Tho
interest may not be high that paid by
some private businesses but it is sure
is the life of the Republic itself There is
no risk involved. Absconders may not de-
preciate its value. Fires nor earthquakes may
not endanger it. 1t is not only gilt ged
it is solid gold.
We have the choice of buying bonds Of that
sort or of subjecting ourselves TO taxation
that would be ruinous to many individuals
and perhaps no less oppressive to many bust
nesses. Self-interest If not patriotism, would
seem to dictate that choice, and believe
will dictate it. We believe the second, the
third and the fourth bond issues will be sue
cessfully foated. But they may not be sub
scribed until more people understand that
there can be turning back in this war
and that its cost must be met by taxation, il
the present fiscal scheme o. the government
does not win.
