e. The excess profits tax based upon
a sound system ought to yield about
$5OO,O0O,Oo0.
81 The income-tax schedule ought to
be revised with lowering of the rates
on earned incomes below $4,000, and
with an analogous lowering of the
rates on the higher incomes, so as not
to exceed "a per cent. A careful cal
culation shows that an income tax of
this kind would yield some $450,000,-
600 additional.
~ The tax on whisky and tobacco
ought to remain approximately as it is.
with yield Of about $230,O00,000
These three taxes, together with the
stamp tax at even the low rate of the
House bill, and with an improved au-
tomobile tax, will yield over $780,
100000, which is the amount of money
thought desirable.
The above program would be in har-
mony with an approved scientific sys-
tenn. 1t will do away with almost all
Of the complaints that are being urged
against the present. 1t will refrain
from taxing the consumption of the
poor.
1t will throw a far heavier burden
upon the rich. but will not go to the
extremes of confiscation. 1t will OBJ
viate interference with business and
will keep unimpaired the social pro-
ductivity of, the community.
1t will establish a just balance be-
tween loans and taxes and will not
succumb to the danger of approaching
either the tax-only policy or the loan
only policy. Above all, it will keep an
undisturbed elastic margin, which
must be more and more heavily drawn
upon as the war proceeds.

The Uses OF The Liberty Loan

The Uses Of The Liberty Loan.
The American people are in no
danger of undergoing what the
Belgian people have undergone and
are still suffering. They need not
fear the terror that invaded France
and still has it's heavy hand upon a
portion of French territory and
French people. There is little dan
ger that we will suffer Zeppelin raids
and other attacks such as Germany
has been able to infiet upon Eng
land
But let it be rendered that some
Americans many of our bravest
and our best young men-will suffer
death, wounding and torture such
as our Allies have suffered for three
years and are suffering still, and
that they will be fighting by the
side of their French and English
comrades to save America and to
save the world from any present
extension of this horrible war and
the danger of any recurrence of it
in the worlds history.
The Liberty Loan is to be used in
the interest not only of America and
Americas soldiers; it is to be used
to fight for the benefit of the world,
for the upholding of civilization, oil
humanity, and for the future as
well as the present.

Bowel Complaints in India.

In lecture at one of the Des
Moines, Iowa, churches a missionary
from India told of going into the
interior of India, where he was taken
sick, that he had a bottle of Cham
berlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarr-
hoea Remedy with him and believed
that it saved his life. This remedy
is used successfully in India both as
preventive and cure for cholera.
You may know from this that it can
be depended upon for the milder
forms of bowel complaint that occur
in this country. Obtainable every
where.

Newspaper Publishers Protest

Washington, June 21. After a
meeting of the American News
papers association today, COM
mittee of publishers appeared be-
fore the senate finance committee
protesting against any dis
eliminating war tax levied on the
newspaper business.
The delegation headed by E.
H. Baker, told senators that pub
fishers were assisting the govern
ment in every way possible in
the carrying on of the war, that
they recognized the need of spe-
cial war taxes and were willing
to pay the rate which was impos-
ed on other legitimate and neces-
sary business.
Postal rates, they declared
should not be raised without a
careful investigation and that if
they were to be changed it
should be done in the public in
terest and not as a was tax on q
business that does not profit by
the war.

The Phoenix Messenger Has
ScOOped the Newspapers Of
Navajo County!

The following very interesting
bit of information is reproduced
from a recent issue of the Phoe-
nix Messenger:
while the general tendency
is to try and raise prices to the
limit, there are a few merchants
that are are patriots and their
desire is to help in this time of
of stress. One of these big
hearted men is Harry Scorse of
Holbrook, Arizona who main
tains winter home on North
Central avenue, Phoenix, but
who has herds of sheep on the
range and a big store in the
county seat of Navajo county.
Harry Scorse has been in Arizona
more than forty years, and by
industry, frugality and business
methods, he has become Well-to-
do. Now that the war is on he
has cut prices rather than raise
with every opportunity.
When beans sold in Phoenix
seven pounds for a dollar. Harry
Scorse kept the price at 10c a
pound. He could have secured
16c by the asking but having
bought low last season, he gave
his customers the benefit.
" / do not want to make any
profit during the war" said he,
"and my goods will sell at actual
cost, plus the lowest possible
running expense. This goes as
long as the war lasts. -
IF business merchants, pro-
duce dealers, meat markets and
those who sell the necessities Of
life, including fuel, would do
likewise, the country over, the
government would be helped
amazingly. But the steel trust
asked $95 a ton for steel for the
navy and had to be cut down to
$50. The copper barons of the
west sold a limited amount of
copper at half price, just enough
to have a contract with the gov
ernment. They did not contract
two percent of the output to the
government needs. 1t is quite
apparent their liberality was
based on selfish motives in event
of labor troubles. All these big
outfits are out for the grand clean
up during the war. If they get
down to the neighborhood of cost,
it will be because the president
orders them to do So.
