Now the constitutional obstacles to
singletax or any step in that direction
have been removed in that state. It is
not expected that advantage will be
taken Of it at once, However, education
of the voters of Oregon is moving along
in the right direction, and it won't be long
before the plan will be adopted there.

Dakota has taken q long stride in the
direction of exempting industry and

Of his land, to pay his just~share of
taxation.
The proposition to cripple the initia-
tive was also defeated by the Oregon
voters. Popular government is still in

Activities OveYbear'inq

Frederick A. Blossom of Cleveland,
former business manager of the Asso--
ciated Charities of that city, has written
letter to Secretary of War Baker in
which he declares that the action of the
National Guard at pacifst and anti
CONSUMPTION meetings in New York in
many instances were ,'soverhearing, in
solent and in fragrant opposition to
traditional American ideals" He claims
he has seen them use unwarranted
brutality in handling both men and
women, and he believes their assump-
tions of authority have not only been
the cause of rioting, but have spread a
deep-seated contempt for the United
States uniform and sowed the seeds of
anarchistic rebellion. Mr.. Blossom has
also complained to President Wilson.
Similar complaints from disinterested,
but fair-minded men, have resulted in
action taken by Police Commissioner
Woods of New York to investigate.
After a conference with the federal and
state military authorities Commissioner
Woods has issued orders to the police
that the people must be protected in
their rights against interference from
either state or United States soldiers.
The commissioner says there will bt
no more interference with the meetings.

Of the ten million men who are en-

exemption it is said on the best of

that the government will prohibit the

The Christian Science Monitor says
the great mass Of people Of the United

is for, and advises that the government
take the people into it's confidence to
the extent Of enlightening them on the
subject. The Monitor is the very
essence of patriotism. Yet when James
A. Peterson of Minneapolis asked the
same question recently, he was promptly
bounced upon by the lingo press of this

PEELED to STAY their own kindred. "A
mans arm is not apt to be steady where

England does not compel her German
born citizens or their immediate de-
scendents to fight against Germany.
She sends them to battle-felds where
! they are not compelled to fight their own
flesh and blood in deadly combat. She
uses them in the colonies and grants
them the opportunity of serving her in
non combatant capacities at the front.
Will the United States be less considerate
than Great Britain?
Altho men fought against their own
relatives in the Revolutionary and Civil
wars, that was different proposition.
Revolutionary and Civil wars, by their
very nature are family quarrels. This
cannot be said of the present war.
Even if England had departed from
the rule as outlined, owing to her present
extremities, the United States is in no
such position. There are thousands of
men in this country not only willing but
anxious to fight the Germans. The offer
Of Theodore Roosevelt and his men to
cross the ocean to fight the Germans
was turned down fiat. If the govern
ment insists on sending the German
Americans to the battle fields Of France
to fight their own kith and kin, how will
they justify the act in the face of President
Wilson's declaration that there will be
no CONSUMPTION OF the unwilling. -
While the question has received but
little if any publicity so far, it has al
ready engaged the attention of some Of
the congressman. Senator Fall of New
Mexico has spoken on the subject, and
Congressman Britten has solution
ready to introduce unless the War De-
partment takes prompt action in the
matter.
If German Americans or Americans
OF German descent desire the Britten
resolution to pass or to be introduced
they should speak out now. They need
have no fear of being accused of coward
ice. The action of the thousands of
German Americans in former wars are
too familiar to the American people to
permit any one to say that the Germans
are towards or that they are not willing
and anxious to serve their adopted
country. The Germans are not cowarLs.
Is a man a coward because he hesltates
to STAY his father or his blo5her?
This also from Viereck's is worthy Of
reproduction:
"There are, presumably, thousands Of
German Americans who have no scruples
against fighting their blood relations, in
whose breast the voice of the blood is
hushed. Send these men to- the front.
They will make good soldiers But do
not send those whose every instinct
revolts against the task Of raaiming flesh
Of their flesh and shedding blood OF their
blood
