The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1917-10-25

When Germany and her allies are
finally defeated this question will echo
throughout Europe:
Why kings?
Almost every week brings forth its
own damning proof of the danger
kings are TO the world. The reccE'lj
published correspondence between the
should shock the world into a rcaliZa-
ton of that danger.
Here behind the scenes, igno"iES
advisers and cabinets and parliam rltS
and all the rest, "Willy' and "Nicky'
were playing at cross purposes with
each other. There were many aifcc-
tiOnatc messages to members of their
respective families There was on
the part Of the kaiser constant at
tempt to influence the stupid Russian
ear against England to make him be-
llcVG France was not always true 10
the Russian ally.
All the time and always the kaiser
was seeking to strengthen himself
against the day when he expected to
make an onslaught on Europe.
1t is not Il pretty picture this or
two mere human beings, like the rest
of us, toying with the lives, the for
tunes. the future millions Of men.
And that is why, when all the full
story Of this war is known, the ques-
ton will come up constantly upon
the lips of men:
Why kings?

WIscONsIN's OPPORTUNITY.

Senator lusting's successor must
be chosen at a special election. What
an opportunity to rebukc La Toilette
by sending as good an American as
llusting was In spite of his col.
leagues demagOgic prO-Germanism
Senator Husting never wavered when
national honor was at stake
Within the last few weeks the ma,
ton has seen individuals throughout
Wisconsin turn on La Toilette, whom
they once followed blindly. His own
party leaders have repudiated him and
clamored for his resignation on the
grounds that he no longer represented
sentiment.
Sooner than they anticipated the
voters will have an opportunity to
show their loyalty by sending a sena-
tor to Washington whose American
ism will be an antidote for the yell
low pacifism Of La Follctte
The senatorial elections in Wisron-
sin take on a national aspect.

GERMAN AGENTS BUSY,

stating that he would not do ANY
thing to advance the war
This clearly discloses the issue up

PASSING 1T ON.

Uncle Sam, needing war money,
says: Upon cigars, cigarets and
drinks there shall be imposed an adj
ditional taX-say, one per cent-to be
paid by the manufacturer or i'm
porter"
The manufacturer or importer says:
Every good, upon the retailer there
shall be imposed an additional price,
say two per cent
The retailer says: "l'pon the con-
sumer there shall be imposed an addi-
tional price, say, three per cent
Dear reader, we are going to ask
three questions We are going to give
answers to these questions, but would
like your answers, too.
l. In respect of war taxation on
tohaccos and drinks, who is the final,
obvious, odoriferous goat The con-
sumer.
9. Will not the manufacturer, i'm
porter and retailer make excess war
profits? They will.
g. Is there a chance for the con-
sumner, upon whom the additional
taxes, plus the additional profits, are
imposed. to impose something on
somebody? Certainly. lie can impose
upon himself the use of less tobaccos
and drinks.
The only recourse of the consumer
is to use less. Yet, pause a moment!
Let us have ''business as usual"
However. there are other things
subject to the new war taxation, such
as passenger and Pullman tickets, tele-
phone and telegraph messages, eX-
press packages. theater tickets, soft
drinks. gum-things the folks are US
ing regularly.
In respect of these things, the con-
sumer-nobody else-will pay more

| Business as usual Taxation as

The consumer must expect to stand
and will stand war taxation The
point is as to whether he will stand
war taxation, plus the war taxation
! profit of the wholesaler, plus the war
taxation profit of the retailer. For
instance, the scent cigar is demand
ing six cents, when the government
added less than quarter of cent
to its taxes, and the 10-cent drink is
l. cents, when the government added
only about a cent. In short, the in
creased tax is taken as an excuse to
gouge, all along the line to the co.,
sumer.
