STILL KITCHENER ING.

Mr.. McAdoo is reported as DESTROYS
Of the revenue bill as it stands and
without revision downward of its pro-
visions for taxation made when the
war appeared to be far from ended.
The general ideas of TIE country
will differ from those of Mr. McAdoo
very decidedly Necessary taxation in
war becomes excessive taxation when
war is ended. Industries non essential
or less essential to war are fully essen
tial, or so considered by most persons,
in peace. When the war ended the
war necessities ended as regards many
lines of industry.
The Kitchin program taxed every
thing on the face of the earth from the
point of view that winning the war
was the business of the United States
and that all other business must sub
ordinate itself to the main business.
To this general agreement or at the
least general submission was made.
We were willing to go without steel to
beat the sub campaign, ready to refuse
less essential industries the right to live
that the force Of the whole nation
might be thrown against the enemy.
Tho complaint was made over the in
justices spread over the bill we were
prepared to bear them. But war taxa
ton in peace is unbearable and that
building operations should be held up
for another year or two in order to
keep Hog Island rivetes going vii!

institution. The motive Is a selfish
| one to start.
Let us give to impart pleasure. The
United States government is our war
rant for it.
A world war may dethrone kings.
but it cannot dethrone the King of
kings. Dynasties are for an epoch,
but the doctrines and spirit of Christ
mas are for eternity, and the govern
ment has not planned to abolish the
indestructible.
It has merely told us to buy what
the other fellow needs He can't feel
insulted IL we give him an order on
a local store for a new hat-he can
easily get even by insulting us with
an order for a pair of shoes. And we
can all benefit by buying right here in
town.
Keep the place going. The Mason
City boys will come back before long,
and they don't want to see strange
names over any Of the stores. Show
them that We all did business at the
old stands while they went away to
insure the safety OF our homes.
And do your buying now. Don't
let us have any overworked store
clerks during the greatest of all fest
tvals. .r

SAnpESI OF OF ALL.

The casualty lists will continue 10
fiji the pages of the papers for several
weeks TO come,
In those lists will he names OF many
whose friends and relatives still fond'y
anticipate their return.
II is sad with double sadness, Now
when the war Is over and the victory
songs are ringing in their ears, after
the joyful celebration of the end of the
war. the shock OF the terrible news that
stand out so in a single line on the
newspaper page will be doubly hard to
bear.
To those to whom such deep sorrow
shall come in the aftermath OF tho cas-
ualty lists let us all offer our deepest
and truest sympathy-for they most
of all OF US shall need It.

LET'S AMoRIIzs OUR WAR BILL.

It is reported that Secretary MCAdoo
wants the huge war tax bill 10 go thru
taxing the people of this country near
~ eight billions of dollars in one year
and that the senate is disposed to cut
it down now that the war is over. 1t
is to he hoped that the senate idea is
to prevail. There is no emergency need
now to pay for this war in two years.
It's cost should be amortized over at
least fifty years of tax levies. When
the world was made safe for democ-
racy it was made safe for several gen.
erations to come.
The most that the government can
ty-two billions and seven to nine bill
lions of that will be loaned to other
governments There can be no sane
excuse for collecting tax money to be
loaned when our own government can
borrow it. Some other set of tax pay
ers in Europe will pay that part Of our
war bill and its interest.
This would leave approximately
fifteen billions for the cars war eX-
penditures and war tax bill carrying
eight billions OF taxes as proposed
would pay tbs amount in two years.
\ world war. which has destroyed all
of the powers that have threatened the
peace of nations during modern times,
lions of taxpayers than to those Of
the next two years.
The cost Of this war in labor and
material has already been paid by the
people of today who gave the labor
and produced the material. That part
OF the war bill has already been paid,
but some people have contributed more
labor and more material than have
others. The financial problem is to
equalize this war cost by paying back
to some and collecting 1t of others.
Those who gave labor were paid in
cash every SATURDAY night anu HID -
terial has been paid for in cash Dor
rowed from the people who have
bought bonds and stamps. This has
equalized the contributions Of individ-
uals down to the repayment Of the
bonds and stamps with their interest.
Collecting taxes with which to pay

the installment plan covering period
Of fifty years. The second generation

ernments established for them to en-

well afford to pay off some of this
wars bonds.
The war tax bill should now be
shaved down to a point at which the
| war bill can be amortized or paid of
gradually in a fifty-year period in al
schedules except the levies on wal

usual and abnormal profits out Of the

Now let me see. We left little Billy
Bunny on hts way to the postoffce to
buy thrift stamps and the Rabbityihe
Gazette. And. Oh dear me! I'm all
mixed up. l can't remember whether
Jimmy Chipunk gave the little rabbit
$40 or whether Old Parson owl did. Or
whether Squirrel Nutcracker wanted
two stamps, or whether II was Danny
Beaver who wanted three. or maybe
four and perhaps five. Oh dear me
again.
But never mind. guess the little
rabbit wasn't mixed up. for he hoped
along as happy as you please, and Just
before he came to Rabbitville, he heard
voice in the treetops say; 81
Where are you going little ioppi,,y
Hop? af
You're going so fast maybe you can't
stop e.
ooh. yes. I can" said Billy Bunny.
What do you want"
THAT depends on where you are 60

blaclSbird who had stopped the little
rabbit. YOU see. ,'1
I'm going to the postoffice to buy,
mother three war saving stamps and
Uncle Lucky the 'Rabbitvilie Gazette,
and let me see. oh, yes, oh. yes Tim
my Chipmunk gave me two quarters to
buy him two thrift stamps and SPUR
rel Nutcracker handed me a lettuce dol
lar bill to buy him four. and Danny
Beaver gave me a 50-cent piece to buy
him two, and Parson Owl just now flew
down and pinned in my inside pocket
$40 lettuce bill to pay for forty
stamps"

GOOD sPoRTs-NoT TIN SPORTS.

II seems almost irreIigious to COM
pare Christmas giving with barroom
treating. But n one Of its forms the
institution hardly reaches higher
plane.
Smith treats Jones because he has
met him on the sidewalk and wants
tc show that re feels friendly. Meth
er OF them wants a drink.
Jones buys back to show he isn't
tightwad Then Smith buys to show
that he didn't buy the first drink just
to get one in return. So Jones buys
to reciprocate. . s..-...-, :. ~
Brown walks in. and being a regular,
he has met Smith there before So he
buys for the crowd; and then each OF
the other two buys. Reciprocity again.
And then it's Browns turn.
This isn't a lecture on prohibition.
but on expenditure. The food OF chem
| ical fluid that Smith, Jones and Brown
pour into themselves may not hurt
them, but it wastes their money and
gives them no fun. They all know
| they don't want it. but they spend to
| show they aren't tightwads.

same purpose are a Dissertation ot the

didn't he buy two war savings stamps
and BE- done with It."

said Billy Bunny. But T,mustn'tistop

Here's some money. Buy me ten
thrift stamps" and he handed the httle
rabbit a two and one half dollar lettuce
bill. Don't lose the hail." said the wise
old crow. apd then he few up into his
old pine tree and cawed away right
merrily. And after that the little rabbit
hoped along and pretty soop ne came
to the postoffice. So mr. went up to the
little stamp window and asked the old
maid grasshopper. who was.the post
mistress, YOU remember n You
don't, she was. Just the same. for Rob-
bic Redbreast told me soft There were
any letters And then she handed him
the mail and the "Rabbitville Gazette
done up in a wrapper with a sky-pink
and yellow two-cent stamp on 1t.
Have you war savings stamps and
thrift stamps" asked Billy Bunny.
And when the lady grasshopper said
YES, he told her just how many he
wanted, for he could remember every
thing. you see, which is more than I
can. let me tell you, unless I look back
over this story. And after he had put
the stamps carefully in his knapsack,
with little pieces OF wax paper between
each one. so that they wouldn't stick
together, he started back for the Old
Brier Patch. And in the next story, II
all those stamps don't get fighting and
try to lick each other. I'll tell you
what happened after that.

That Governor Harding nearly lost
his reelection is, of course, almost
wholly due to his language proclama-
ton of last summer. That proclama-
ton was somewhat sweeping. too
sweeping we believed at that time and
so still believe says the Cedar Rapids
Republican. 'Nine-tenths of the things
that have been said on language dur
ing this war bas been at least ineffec-
tive. 1t has commenced in the wrong
place and ended in the wrong way.
You can not ask people to keep still
if they cannot talk the Language OF
the country. The thing to see to is
that they are taught IN the language
of their adopted country and If the
children are taught that language,
when they grow up they will speak it
and think in it and act IN, it." ..,..

DID YOU KNOW THIS:

r Alaska's biz inland waterway, the Yukon River, is believed to be the longest river on the North Ameri- can continent, if not on the Globe, without tridge.
 The big river is over 2,1OO miles la'pg and from where it arises, back of White Horse, '. T., to its mouth near St. Michaels, Alaska, it is not spanned.
 Bridges are unnecessary along the Yukon during the winter, for the dog and wagon trails along the shore cross on the ice when cross ings are necessary. In the summer small boats are used. At Dawson there is a hand propelled ferry. - Cape Hatteras Clarion.
