The task Of drafting a revenue bill
has progressed 10 q point which may
be summed up AZ follows:
j. The Ways and Means Committee
cannot figure out any plan for raising
the 1000 100000 asked by Secretary
McAdoo and VIII report q bin esti-
mated 70 raise not over $1,000 .00o, 900.
2. A war profits tax will be super
imposed on the present excess profits
tax. A substantial increase will be
made on the tax on unearned incomes.
g. Heavier taxes win be imposed on
all iuxuries and the list OF luxuries
win be increased.
A majority Of the committee has
been fighting shy Of suggested taxes
on unused lands and Is obviously re-
luctant to cut deeply into incomes or
war profits. Most Of the House COM
mittee members would rather spread
the tax on so-called luxuries and would
even favor consumption taxes II they
thought the administration would
stand for them. The great difficulty
with this program 10 that Il does not
produce sufficient revenue even when
the heaviest possible taxes are placed
on the largest number Of articles.
The only way TO get revenue is 70
take Il from the people who have
made tremendous profits from war in
dustries.~
The most important influence In
framing the, bill will be the report
recently made by the Federal Trade
Commission on prohteering.

FIJI the Coal Bucket.

-, coal shortage this winter is inevitable.
Already lightless nights have been put into force
and there is doubt that other restrictions may
follow. Factories and homes will be put on lin
tied basis of coal consumption.
The public has been advised and urged by Fuel
Administrator Garfield to "lay in your supply of
coal early"
But
There are many who have not the money to lay
in supply of coal to run them even half the win
ter. These people must be supplied with coal from
some source and that seems to be from a
municipal coal pile
Some small towns and large cities have already
the need for such and it behooves other cities
to follow their leaders
Boston will establish a municipal coal pile of a
minimum of $1,000 tons. This coal will be sold in
so and Ioo-pound bags to those unfortunate enough
to be forced to this of supply. Cleveland
will have coal pile of 10000 tons. Other cities
doing the same.
Man power and brains will win this war and
man cannot be efficient in his work if his home life
is uncomfortable and cause for worry.
So
With it being published and known fact that a
coal shortage is inevitable, every patriotic mayor
and city council should get together and arrange
for municipal coal pile for the protection of the
poorer workers. What is the District Fuel Admin
istrstor doing?

When boys come back from "over there"
they'll bring with them better knowledge of the
French language and greater love for the French
people than the average American had when he
headed for Berlin. He will have fought with
French soldiers. He will have traded with French
dealers. And don't worry, girls, for he will come
back to you again, he will have talked with French

POTASH COMPANY ASKS
WRIT AGAINST LANE

The American Potash Company. a
Wyoming corporation. has applied for
an injunction against Secretary Lane
and Commissioner Of the General
Land Office, Clay Tallman. They are
asked to show cause why they have
refused to issue patents for mining
claims situated in wyoming.
1t Is set forth in the petition that
Chapter s. of the U. S. Revised Stat
tutes. provides for the exploration,
location and purchase of all valuable
mineral deposits in lands belonging
to the United States. both surveyed
and unsurveyed, and that such lands
are thereby opened to such explora-
ton and purchase.
1t is claimed also that the act OF
1910 provided that all lands with
drawn under the provisions OF this
act shall at all times be open to ex-
ploration. discovery, occupation nd
purchase.
1t is claimed further that in 1910,
certain citizens filed placer mining
claims for lands in Wyoming. upon
which the annual assessment work
has been performed each year, aggre-
eating fully $4,000.
April s, 1916, it is averred. applica-
ton for patents to these mineral en-
tries were made to the Land Depart

Sparing Soldiers.

Germany now has decided to spare" her SOL
diers, what remains of the millions Of men Ger
many spent years in training for this war of con-
quest Gen. Ludendorf thus explains the retreat of
the Huns from the Rheims-Soissons salient Lu-
dendorff and Hindenburg, who. by the way isn't
as dead as he ought to be. frankly admit that
Germany has reached the point where she must
conserve her supply of fighting men or be utterly
and quickly vanquished after few more life
costing attempts to break through the allied lines
of the West front.
Since the collapse of Russia and Rumania
neither the Bulgarians Turks have shown any
great desire to throw into Germany's war.
Austria cannot for she has her hands full down
the Italian front It's all up to Germany and Ger
many has drained her man power to the last avail
able man. She has taken her young boys and her
old And she has wasted their lives a
drunken spendthrift throws away his pennies. Bill
Hohenzollern, Ludendorff and Hindenburg valued
the life blood Of the German soldier at little until
it began running low. From the Rhine to the
Marne German blood drenched the soil and turned
rivers to red. Each drive piled up mountains of
German dead. But what cared the Hohenzollerns
long the supply held out?
Now the war lords see the bottom. They now
will spare" soldiers because they have none to
waste.
Foch, Haig and Pershing all along have known
that the Huns were draining their man power and
content to let them drain it to the very last
dregs. If Germany still had fighting Russia to
face the East front, she would long ago have
been compelled to draw back her Western lines to
the Rhine even beyond. And it is probable that
the East front would be in East Prussia.
1t has been well-known fact in the allied cap
itals that we were drawing near the day when the
German war lords would have to announce this
sparing- soldiers program. They will go on talking
about "sparing" soldiers as the allies force them
to Berlin This is the only way in which the
Kaiser explain his retreats to the German peo-
pie.
In the meantime the allied soldiers will not
spare any Huns they can touch with bayonet or
reach with shell. That is why Ludendorff Is spar
ing" them by heading them toward the Rhine.
