WAR ONLY COSTSUS
S6,750,0OO,0OO
CONGRESS CHIEFS FORM PRO-
GRAM AFTER PRESIDENT
WILSON'S POLICY.
RAISE HALF THE FIRST YEAR
Want to Help Out the Allies and
Have Safety Margin Besides
Two Billion Will Be Applied
On Army-Navy Cost.

Washington-P Wilson's pol
icy, outlined in his address to congress,
of paying Americas war bill, so far
as possible, while the war is being
waged, leaving minimum debt to pos
terity, is reflected in virtual decision
by leaders in the house and senate to
raise so per cent of the first years ex-
penditures by taxation.
Additional Tax $1,75o,ooo,o 900.
Under this program congress will be
called upon to raise war revenues of
$1,750,O0O,OOO through new and in
creased taxation during the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1918. This is exclu-
sive Of the. S5,000,O00,OO0 bond issue,
authorization for which will be sought
this week. The total demand upon the
financial resources of the country dur
ing the first year Of war under this
program would be S6,75O,OO0,000.
Of the bond issue S3,O0O,OOO,OOO, it
is definitely stated would be loaned to
the entente allies. The entire issue
will bear interest of 8 IL per cent.
1t is proposed to make the loan to the
allies at this interest rate, which is
lower by far than the rate on their pre-
vious issues.
Billions for Army and Navy
The remaining $4,000, 100000 will be
applied, as necessary, on the cost of
military and naval establishments and
other war expenses of the United States.
Indications are that with the new war
revenue measures in effect, the full
amount, S2,00O,OO0,O will not be en-
tirely exhausted at the end of the first
year.
In requesting authorization for a
S., OOO,O 100000 bond issue administra-
ton leaders have in mind the necessity
of allowing for a slight margin of
safety so that the work of the war and
navy departments would not be handi-
capped by lack of funds due to the
possible failure of proposed tax meas
ures to raise the entire sum of so per
cent desired.
Allies Needs Are More.
The proposal that congress author
ize Immediately the issue of S3,0O0,-
100000 in bonds to finance a loan to
the allies and afterward take up the
request for $2,OOO,00O,0OO for the army
and navy is considered in some quar-
tiers.
In support of this proposal it is point
ed out that the need of the allies for
funds is more Immediately pressing
than American needs, the money to be
obtained for the latter purpose being ex-
pended over period of four months.
Indications are strong, however, that
congress will be asked to authorize the
SIS, 000,O00,000 in one lump sum. Leg
islation to this effect probably will be
reported to congress for action before
the end of the week.

UNCLE SAM TO CALL STUDENTS
FROM HIGH SCHOOLS

Uncle Sam today issused a call
upon Washington's High school stu
dents to help harvest the states war
crop this summer and thus prevent
the shortage of labor in the farming
districts. The call by which the
students will be unabled to help the
country is much needed and prac-
ttical way and at the same time OBJ
tain employment at prevailing wages,
today was issued by Henry M. White
the United States Commissioner of
Immigration and Employment.
. An effort is being made by Com
missioner White and his assistants
to have May 18th designated as en-
rollment day in the five hundred
high schools of the state. Governor
Ernest Lister this week was expec-
ted to issue proclamation naming
this day officially as enrolment day
and calling upon school officials in
cluding all principals and teachers,
to encourage the students to enroll
this date for service in the harvest
fields. An effort will be made to
locate the students as near to their
homes as possible so that the ex-
pense of travelling will be held to
a minimum. The, wages they will
receive for this work and living con-
ditions surrounding their employ
ment will be determined at the time
work is given.

MUST BE 81 TO ESCAPE DRAFT.

There seems to be quite a bit of
Investment among the young men of
our city in regards to the conscript-
ion draft just passed as to whether
you must be over the age limit to
escape military duty. The latest re-
ports of it are that you must be 81
before the registration day or you
have an appointment with Uncle
Sam.
How Draft Army Is To Be Raised.
The selective service bill, as agre-
ed upon by the house and senate
conferees, will raise 100000 men
Immediately.
The president is authorized to gel
the regular army and National guard
up to full war strength-about 25O,
900 and 100000 respectively.
This will be done by employment
of the volunteer system until sucL
time as the president feels tha
means inadequate. Then he ma!
apply the draft.
The bill empowers the president
to draft Immediately 100000 males
not exempt under the law, betweeI
the ages of 21 and 30, inclusive, foi
military service.
All males between these ages mus
register under penalty.
Boards will sit at points through.
out the country to pass exemptions
In addition to the first 100000
troops, the president is empowered
at any time to raise 100000 more
men by the process outlined above
Those exempted from draft unde.
the law are soldiers and sailors nov
in service, divinity students, mem
bers of well-established religious
sects whose creed opposes war and
certain specified skilled workman.
Others exempted are those having
persons dependent upon them for
support and those found to be ply
sically or morally deficient. Mar

Oyster Bay, May 14.-Colonel
Roosevelt made no secret of his de-
light over the actions of the house,
out refused to discuss his plans for
putting military force in the field
Until his authorization TO do so be-
comes official.
II am deeply gratified at what
the house has done," Col, Roosevelt
said. 81 feel they have taken step
which is eminently wise and patrio-
tic towards enabling us to utilize an
element in the country we would
otherwise not utilize at all. This
will enable mixed force of regu-
lars and volunteers to be put to the
front during the time necessary for
training the great army raised under
the selective draft"
What the president will do about
naming Roosevelt to head one Of the
volunteer divisions or brigades pro-
vided in the measure is the big ques-
ton. Saturday, while the Roosevelt
division was receiving Endorsement
at the hands of the house, the presi-
dent, in a speech, declared flatly
this is no war for spontaneous inn
pulse" that "this is no war for anna
teurs," and that "instrumentalities
at hand" should now be fighting
work.
This also is the judgement of the
general staff of the army. AS re-
suit, the a., ic prevails that while

ROOSEVELT IS ACCEPTED.

Washington, D. C. May 12.-By a
vote of 215 to 178 the house today
after stormy debate voted to in
struct it's conferees on the army bill
to restore the senate amendment to
permit Colonel Roosevelt to lead
division to France.
The house vote had double sign
ificance, indicating that the hard
fought amendment will stay in the
bill because it directed the conferees
to accept the provision exactly as it
was voted on in the senate.
In view of the fact that it carried
by a heavy majority, including DEM
ocrates, in the senate, there seemed
no doubt that it would become part
of the new law.

ANNUAL CENSUS OF CoULEE

The second annual census taken
by the civics class of the Coulee
City high school has just been COM
pleted under the direction of Mr..
Cubbage with the following results.
During the past year the city has
shown more than a steady growth,
the increase amounting to almost a
boom, the population increasing
from 479 in 1916 to 567 at the pre-
sent time, an increase of 20 per cent
during the year. Investigation shows
that only 32 per cent of our populat-
ion are natives of the state of Wash
ington, the others claiming most of
the states of the union as birth
place and only about 5 per ct. were
borned inforeign countries. Some of
the more popular native states are
Missouri with So residenters or 10
per cent of the total, Iowa with 80
or 7 per cent, with Indiana, PEN
nsylvania, Kansas, Minnesota, Wis
consin and Arkansas following al
ong closely. We have comparative
ly few immigrants from the South
or other parts of the West, the ma
jority coming from the middle-wesi
and farther East. New England al
SO seems to be well satisfied with
herself as we record only one nat
i've each from New Hampshire and
Massachusetts, as a birthplace OF
the froeign born six claim the native
state of Lloyd George as birth
place, five came from Denmark, two
from Scotland, three from Norway,
two from Sweden, one each from
South Africa, Holland and England,
and only one would acknowledge
the "Fatherland" as birthplace.
