THE INCOME TAX

AS evidence of the radical change
in sentiment in this country within
the past few years, we would cite
our readers to the evolution of the in
come tax. But a few years ago the
man who would have proposed an in
come tax in Congress would have
effectually signed his own political
death-warrant. We had come to be-
lieve from more than a century's ex-
perience that indirect taxation was
the onlv kind of taxation for which
the American people would stand.
Even in our state and municipal gov
ernments personal earnings play no
part In the scheme of taxation and
even personal property is largely
exempt.
But as the expenses of government
mounted to unheard-of figures, it be-
came evident that direct taxation
would have to be resorted to, and the
incomes of the land were selected as
the best able to bear it. This tax
was at first very light and only plac-
ed on very large incomes.
Gradually the limit has been lower
ed, until now all yearly incomes. of
$1,000 for single men and $4,000 for
men of family must come to the help
of their government.
But why the limit? Why should
the man who makes 5000 year be
exempt from the tax simply because
he failed to annex that odd dollar?
He may be far better able to spare
the money than the man who earns
$1,000 or even $500 year.
Getting right down to the gist of
the matter, isn't any limit arbitrary
and unjust? That depends entirely
upon the light in which we view the
matter of taxation. If we regard it
be asked to share in it. But is taxa
ton entirely a burden? Isn't it rath-
er one of our greatest privileges that

FIGHT FOR NEXT SENATE

Recent elections have brought to
the front once more the question of
political control of Congress during
the last two years of President Will
sons administration. Swift changes
of sentiment throughout the country
create possibilities for the future of
the House of Representatives that
defy estimates. Speculation therefore
centers on the Senate that will come
into existence on March A, 1919. At
the beginning of the extra session of
the sixty-fifth Congress last April
there were PIP Democrats, 213 Re-
publicans and Independents in the
lower house. An alliance with the
Independents gave the Democrats
control. The Senate classification
was ga Democrats, al Republicans
and one Independent. The death of
Senator Lane of Oregon and the ap-
pointment of Charles l.. McNary, a
Republican, as his successor, cut
down the Democrat majority to ten.
1t is the possibility of eliminating
this majority in next November's
elections that came up to debate in
Republican circles when Paul O.
Husting, Democratic Senator from
Wisconsin, was accidentally killed a
few weeks ago. The terms of so
members of the Senate will expire on
March 3, 1919. Their successors
must be elected next year. Nineteen
of this number are Democrats. 1t is
obvious, therefore, that Republicans
must replace at least six of these
Democrats if control of the upper
house of Congress is to pass from the
Administration.

If we would go deep enough into
this question Of taxation we might
discove rthat the aloofness with which
many Americans view their govern

they have never been made to feel
that they sustained any real vital re-

an institution for which they are in nc

Farmer Next to Soldier

Farmer Next to Soldier
Those peculiar circumstances gov
erning the handling and consumption
of wheat put the farmer at the very
center of war service. Next to the
soldier himself, he is serving the
country and the world and serving it
in way which is absolutely funda-
mental to his own future safety and
prosperity. He sees this and can be
relied upon as the soldier can.
"The farmer is also contributing
men to the army, and / am keenly
alive to the sacrifices involved. Out
of 13,800,000 men engaged in farm
industries, 206, 900 have been drafted,
or about LAB per cent of the whole
number. In addition to these there
have been volunteers, and the farmers
have lost a considerable number of
laborers because the wages paid in
industrial pursuits drew them away.
In order TO relieve the farming i'm
dustry as far as possible from furth-
er drains of labor the new draft regu-
lations have been>drawn with a view
to taking from the farms an even
smaller proportion of men, and it is
my hope that the local exemption
boards will make the new classical
tons with a view of Tightening the
load upon the farmers to the utmost
extent. The Secretary of War has
asked for authority to furlough sold
iers of the National army if condi-
hot
turn to their farms when assistance
is necessary in the planting and har-
vesting of the crops. National and
local agencies are actively at work
besides in organizing community help
for the more efficient distribution of
available labor and in drawing upon
new sources of labor. While there
will be difficulties, and very serious
ones, they will be difficulties which
are among the stern necessities of
war.

intelligent, and efficient way with the
Food Administration to remove the
difficulties of transportation and of
the active movement of crops. Their
marketing is to be facilitated and the
farmers given the opportunity to
realize promptly upon their stocks.
"The Department of Agriculture
and the Food Administration will
continue to cooperate as heretofore to
assist the farmers in eveyr way pos
sible. All questions of production, of
the marketing of farm products, and
of agricultural labor and farm prob
lens, generally will be handled by the
Department of Agriculture, while all
questions of distribution of food sup
plies to the allies and of conservation
in consumption will be handled by the
Food Administration; but the chief
reliance is upon the farmer himself,
and am sure that that reliance will
be justified by the results. The chief
thing to be kept clearly in mind is
that regulations of this sort are only
a part of the great general plan of
mobilization into which every element
in the Nation enters in this war as in
no other. The BUSINESS of war touches
everybody. 1t a stern business, a
cooperative business, business of
energy and sacrifice, business of
service in the largest. and best and
most stirring sense of that great
word.

TO SACRIFICE NO HARDSHIP

Hoover's job is not primarily to re-
duce the high cost of living, but to
supply our allies with meat, wheat,
sugar and fats, says the Michigan
Moderator. We must save on these
foods to insure the supply. 1t is no
hardship to us, it is a duty and we
should not dodge it. The fact that
we may be obliged to sacrifice a lit
tie is no hardship. We won't starve.
In fact many of us will be healthier
for the sacrifice. Let us comply,
cheerfully, promptly, and Loyalty with
the governments call. In the mean
time bear in mind that Hoover's
prompt, vigorous far-seeing action on
the flour and sugar supply has un-
doubtedly prevented whole sale pro-
fiteering, and exorbitant prices in
those commodities. Hats off to Hoov-
erl Down with the unpatriotic, self
centered, human hog who ducks and
lodges, flouts and grouches, sneers
and jeers, complains and kicks be-
cause of meatless, wheatless, pork
less days and meals.

The Canadian premier paid visit
to President Wilson last week. We
are very glad that the relations with
our northern neighbor are different
from those with our southern one.
