OTTO KAHN PLEADS
FOR WELFARE WORK

The Job before the United States
now is to raise the needed funds
asked for by the organizations incIud-
ed in the United War Work campaign
Is the statement OF Otto H. Kahn, One
OF the leading merchants in New York
city.
He spent some time in Europe
while the American soldiers were
doing SO much in their driving cam
palEn against the enemy, and says
that this country can never do enough
to repay the men for what they did
on the battlefields of France.
''No one who has not had occasion
to see our boys over there" he said.
"can fully realize how much OF COM
fort, of cheer, and of home feeling
these organizations are bringing to
our boys.
For these boys with all their
knightly virtues are very human.
They are healthy young animals with
strong Rppetites for food and recrea-
tion. They will attack q dish of
American ice cream or a hot drink
with a zest inferior only to that with
which they attack q German machine
gun nest.
''The organizations included in :he
war work campaign do nearly every
thing for the soldier in the way Jf
him back to the no ne :ife.'

IMPURE MILK LAW
FAVORED BY c. OF c.

The Chamber of Commerce today
is on record as being unanimously
in favor OF a law preventing the sale
OF impure milk produced in the Dis
trict. A resolution presented by DR..
c. r. Dufour. chairman OF the Public
Health Committee. at a meeting OF
the Chamber last night, urging the
passage OF such a law. was adopted
without question or debate.
DR.. Dufour, in introducing the
resolution, said:
"It is a well known fact that the
licenses of dealers selling impure
milk brought from outside the Dis
trict can be revoked, but this does
not apply to dealers selling impure
and dirty milk which Is produced
within the District We have no
way OF dealing with such cases ex-
cept through the pure food laws,
which involves lengthy legal pro-
cesses. and offers the dealers many
possible loopholes of escape"
The text Of the resolution follows:
Whereas. 1t appears that unclean
and unhealthful milk Is being sold
in the District of Columbia, and
whereas the consumption of such
milk Is liable to produce serious ILL
ness in both adults and children and.
whereas there Is now no law by
which permits OF dealers selling un-
clean and unheauthful milk can be
revoked, ttherefore. be 1t resolved
that the Chamber Of Commerce of
the District OF Columbia urge Con-
gress to pass law or laws that
will effectualIy prevent the sale of
such milk in the District OF colum-
bia."
A letter from Merritt o. Chance,
city postmaster, was read in which
he asked for the cooperation OF the
business men OF the city in the
mail early campaign He stated
in the letter that the mails during
the month of November, so far. were
as heavy as the Christmas mail last
year. The Chamber adopted a res
olution promising Mr.. Chance the
cooperation of the members Mem
bers suggested that the establish
ing of more substAtions would sim
plify the situation.
A resolution declaring that retail
dealers in the District are not re-
sponsible for the profiteering exist
ing in this city. which was offered
by the food committee OF the Cham
ber of Commerce, was unanimously
adopted Producers and manufac-
turers were held responsible for the
high prices. The report was sub
mitted by George H. Brown. chair
man OF the food committee.

DRY RESOLUTION
MAY Be RESCINDED

The resolution enacted by Congress
90 submit national prohibition &c the
States may be rescinded.
According to a statement this n IL
ing by the Anti-Saloon League, the
validity or invalidity of this resolu-
tion revolves around what constitutes
quorum OF Congress. This will be
thrashed out when the quorum aues-
tion is submitted for a decision to the
United States Supreme Court
Attorneys representing liquor inter
ests contended that two-thirds OF
Congress meant two-thirds OF all
members elected. the Anti-Saloon
League statement says. and the Anti
Saloon attorneys held that quorum
meant two-thirds Of the members
present and voting.
A decision by the Supreme Court
that a quorum is two-thirds of mem
bers elected would make invalid the
law TO submit national prohibition.

1t takes ten men at work to keep one fight
ing man at the front.
1t takes millions of dollars just to keep this
army fed. 1t costs thousands of dollars every
time one battery of big guns lays down barrage.
Is it any wonder, then, that the United States
is spending at the rate of fifty millions OF dollars
day in war and war plans? And with that
grand total as the interest on far vaster prin-
cipal, which must support this colossal cost or
all this task will have been in vain, whose fight
do you think this is?

are left behind as much or even more than it
is the mans in the trench.
For that man, though three million strong, can
not raise a hand in the cause of democracy, he
cannot even raise hand in self-defense, except
for you.
He is potent only as you are potent. He can
fight only as you lUiN fight. The difference is
only this: his fight is expressed in nerve and
ammunition, yours in work and dollars.
The Fourth Liberty Loan is the worlds biggest
drive back of the lines 1t is the test of the
financial reserves of this entire country of ours.
1t will gage the power that you intend to put
back of the fighting men in France for the
next half year or more to come.
In fact it will show the value you place on
the heritage of liberty, which three million men
have taken up arms to defend for you to-day.
Take care when you sign that subscription
blank for Liberty Bonds that the amount you set
squares as nearly as it can with all your heart
acknowledges this heritage to be worth to you.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1918-10-11
COUNTY GOVERNMENT REFORM

The constant increase in county
taxes is due to multiplying functions
like farm advisor, county school SUI
pervisors and more deputyships.
Counties are helpless against a sys-
tenn that sends each department to
the legislature to get more powers,
more deputies and more taxing priv
ilege. The remedy for this is to give
three county commissioners more
power, pay them better wages, and
stop creating elective offices.
The commissioners and sheriff are
about the only court officials who
should be nominated and elected by
the people, subject to recall. The
commissioners should be business
men, and empowered to hire or fire
all clerical help like recorder of deeds,
school superintendent, clerks of court,
roadmasters, ETC., and purchase all
supplies and let all contracts.
This would give business admins
tration instead of political and reduce
taxes.
