A DEMOCRATIC TAX

Majority Leader Kitchin, chairman
of the House Ways and Means Com
mittee, has expressed the right SEN
timents when he said that the eX-
penses of this war should be met by
democratic tax, which should be
levied strictly upon the ability to pay.
We are taking young men of mil
itary age into the army without con-
sulting their wishes and asking them
to make the greatest sacrifices. Often
they will be forced to give up their
business, and always their earning
capacity. for the government. In ad-
dition to that, we force them to risk
their lives. When a man has given
up his business and risked his life,
he comes near making a 100 per cent
sacrifice" says Mr.. Kitchin.
The government has the task of
raising about two billion dollars for
the first year of the war. Senate and
House committees have had many dis
cussions about how to raise the
money, but the lobbying of the inter-
ests affected has caused many re-
visions of the tax schedules. A dem
Ocratic tax is the fairest way. Make
all persons and corporations pay
their just proportion.

Word has been received here of the
death in New York Sunday of Dante
Barton, vice-chairman of the Indus
trial Relations Commission and for
years chief editorial writer on the
Kansas City Star. Mr.. Barton will be
remembered by Columbians as one of
the speakers during Journalism Week
several years ago. He was respon-
sible for many of the Kansas City
Stars leading editorials during his
service for that paper, and during
the Stars hottest campaigns for bet
ter government in Kansas City Mr..
Barton's editorials might be found in
prominent positions in the paper, al
ways outlining most clearly the
things for which his paper stood. Mr..
Barton's sister, Miss Olivia Barton.
was for some years a teacher at
Stephens College.
Mr.. Barton is survived by his
widow and three children. The body
was taken to Chicago for burial.

"KING FOX-

Even war has its ludicrous sides,
and among these is King Ferdinand
of Bulgaria, better known among
European diplomats as King Fox"
King Ferdinand entered into the
European war because he is ambi-
tious. He cast his lot with the Cen
tral Powers not because of any af-
fectiOn for the emperor of Germany,
whom he cordially detests, but be-
cause he thought he would be on the
winning side.
Old hatred of Serbia and Rumania
and a desire to exact vengeance for
Bulgarian defeat in the Second Balkan
War caused him to contribute to the
downfall of these two countries. He
was promised by Germany that the
war would soon end VIGOROUSLY. yet
he has been fighting for nearly two
years. His army of peasants long for
a return to their fields

THE OPEN COLUMN
Gan. Dry and Store.

Editor the Missourian: President
Wilson and Secretary of Agriculture
Houston have especially urged all
people to can, dry or store the perish
able products. They have asked us
TO consume perishable goods as much
as possible, to use those produced in
our home communities in order that
the transportation costs may be saved
and the government have an easier
opportunity to get military supplies
moved.
At this time of the year many per-
ishable foods are becoming ready for
consumption. Unless care is taken,
heavy losses may be had in tomatoes,
beets, potatoes. beans, cabbage, on
ions. sugar corn, peas and carrots.
These fruits-peaches, pears, apples
and blackberries-may also be large
ly wasted unless great care is taken.
Although it is difficult to get tin
because of the great de-
mand for tin in munition factories,
still glass containers may be had at
reasonable prices. The manufactur-
ers estimate that 100000 gross have
been put on the market this year.
With an enormous amount of goods |
saved by canning, still more by dry
ng and yet more by storing. the |
United States should easily go
through the first year of the war from
good standpoint. VI.

Exact Acreage of Idle Land in State
to BE Ascertained by Pupils
superintendent Meet Here

The assistance of the school chill
dren OF the state of Washington in
making possible correct answer to
some OF the economic questions pro-
pounded by the national food admin
istration was promised Tuesday by
the county school superintendent in
session at the State College in re-
spouse TO a request from State Agri-
cultural Commissioner f. F. Benson,
who addressed the school heads.
The request that the state commits
Sioner of agriculture furnish the food
administration reliable data concern
ing the location of every acre of I'M
used agricultural land in the state
of Washington, proved a puzzler to
Commissioner Benson until he con-
ceiyed the idea of enlisting the as
sistance of the school children of the
state in the matter, and he came to
Pullman to present his plan before
the 80 county superintendent, re-
ceiying the hearty support of each of
the school heads and the endorse
ment of the convention.
A complete census of the idle agri-
cultural lands in each county this
year will be taken by the school chill
dren of that county assisted by the
county agricultural agents, CONNER
cial organizations, national defense
leagues, and other organizations.
Aside from this information the
school children will be asked to Sc
cure reliable information of the ap-
proximate cost of putting each in
dividual waste tract under cultiva-
ton and the type of crop best adapt
ed. Included in the acreage of idle"
lands of 1917 as listed by the school
children will be that summer fal-
lowed land which, In the words of
Commissioner Benson. should prop
erly have been growing peas, beans,
or some other rotation crop instead
of lying idle"
Another economic task assigned to
the schools by the state agricultural
head will be the tabulation of the
acreage and amount of hay and pota-
toes raised in each county this year.
AS an example of the variance in the
figures of the government and those
of the state agricultural commission
er's office. Mr.. Benson cited the po-
tato crop of 1916. The government
credited the state with 100000 tons
of tubers, while the office of agri-
cultural commissioner was able to
get definite figures on but $4,000
tons.
Through the assistance of the
school children he hopes to get fig
ures that will prove very nearly cor

LIBERAL AID FOR RED CROSS
