Our War Intentions.

1--WE intend what our forefathers,
the founders of this Republic, in
tended. We in America believe our
participation in this war to be the
fruitage of what they planted. Our
case differs from theirs only in this,
that it is our inestimabIe privilege to
concert with men out of every nation
what shall make not only the liber-
ties of America secure, but the
liberties of every other people as
we'll. -
There can be but one issue. The
settlement must be final. There can
be no. compromise. No halfway
decision would be tolerable. No
halfway decision is conceivable. =
"The blinded rulers of Prussia
have reused forces they knew little
of-forces which can never be
crushed to earth again; for they
have in their heart an inspiration
and purpose which are deathless
and of the very stuff of triumph. -

Address.

United States Revenues.

The internal-revenue collections
for the fiscal year ending June 80
last totaled $3,672.00O,O0O. The
collections for the preceding year
were 100000. This years col
lections exceed by nearly $780,
100000 the estimates made when
the war revenue measures were pas
sed by Congress last year.
Four thousand persons were chi
ployed in the work and the total
cost of the collection was only sS12,-
100000. The patriotism reused by
the war contributed largely to the
success of the work, and the tax
payers assisted and cooperated with
the Government.
A determined effort will be made
to bring to book tax evaders in every
part of the country. The Treasury
already has evidence against large
number who have sought to evade
taxes, and by checking up contracts
and with other data the Government
expects finally to discover and pun
ish many tax evaders, as well as re-
cover large amounts of revenue lille
gally withheld.

Are You One of Them?

There are a great many people
who would be very much benefited
by taking Chamberlain Tablets for
weak or disordered stomach. Are
you one of them? Mrs. M. r. Scarf,
Baldwinsville, N. Y, relates her
experience in the use of these tab
let's: II had bad spell with my
stomach about six months ago, and
was troubled for two or three weeks
with gas and severe pains in the pit
of my stomach. Our druggist ad-
vised me. to take Chamberlain's Tab
lets. 1 took bottle home and the
first dose relieved me wonderfully,
and l kept on taking them until
was cured" Tese tablets do not
relieve pain. but after the pain has
been relieved may prevent its recur-
renee.

Our Transportation Problems.

Some of our national transporta-
tion problems and difficulties can be
better understood when it is remem-
bered that in the northeastern sec
ton of the United States, including
New York, Pennsylvania, adjoining
States, and New England, the popu-
lation is 500 persons to every mile
of railroad; in the South the figures
are 407 persons per mile; and in the
West, 252.
There are Is square miles of land
to every mile of railroad in the
West, while in the East there is 1
mile of railroad to every S square
miles of land. There ar innumer-
able fatories in this eastern theater,
and the bringing in of coal and raw
material and the carrying out OF
manufactured products make up d
tremendous freight tonnage.
The Railroad Administration is
solving gradually many problems
By the elimination of many unneces-
sary passenger trains several thous-
and engines are diverted from pas
senger to freight traffic, which re.
lieves the situation materially. Also
by loading the freight cars to full
capacity great saving is being ac-
complished. Routing freight by the
most direct route, and other methods
adopted by the administration, are
doing much to ease the strain on oul
transportation facilities.

Adopted BY National
League OF Teachers.


The National League of Teachers
Associations, in recent session at
Pittsburg, adopted the following
resolution in praise of Secretary
Baker who has refused to endorse
the adoption of a permanent system
of universal military training, which
the subsidized press is trying to put
over on the people:
The National League Of Teachers
Associations, representing 10000
teachers in convention at Pitts
burgh, desires to express it's warm
approval of your courage and states
manship in refusing to be stampeded
into the endorsement and adoption
of a permanent system of universal
military training and service at this
time. The American people are in
this war, as Lloyd George has said
Of the English people, to put an end
to that monstrous evil every where,
and it is heartening to feel that
under the leadership which we now
enjoy we are in no danger of losing
the chief end of the war before the
var is more than we'll begun. We
arc we'll aware that. your moderate
md sensible position has cost you
ONE newspaper abuse, but we beA
lieve that your course is well under
stood and is silently approved by the
great American people.

The United States Government is

The United States Government is
not going to be content with merely
reeducating and re-habilitating its
soldiers who have been disabled by
wounds, and fitting them for useful
and gainful occupations; it is not
going to leave them to shift, for
themselves, but will exert an active
continuing interest in their welfare.
This does not mean that the Gov
eminent is to coddle them or treat
them as weaklings, but it is going to
take an active interest in securing
them work, and in other ways ell
deavor to make up to them the OPP
portunities and advantages they lost
by reason of wounds received in
fighting their country's battles.
Every Liberty Loan Bond and
every War Savings Stamp purchased

CALL FOR NATIONAL MEETING
OF FARMERS.

To Be Held In Washington August
~, %, 20.
Victory must come from the soil.
Food and men will win the war.
The soil supplies both.
The men who till the soil are
intellectually behind the Govern
ment to win the war. None have
shown themselves more ready to do
their utmost. The volunteers they
have supplied, the money they have
given, and the wonderful crops they
have produced-crops greater in
proportion to the number of farm
workers than thd world has ever
seen before-prove that beyond dis
pute. None are more determined to
leave nothing undone that will help
to bring victory. With them the
great question is how. they can serve
best. Without doubt their first
duty is to supply the food without
which victory is impossible.
With this fact in mind the Fed
eral Board of Farm Organizations
hereby calls upon the farmers of the
United States to assemble in person
or by their representatives, in the
city of Washington, August 81, IS
and 20, 1918, there to consider, de-
eide upon, and take such action as
will best promote the production of
farm crops in 1919: Sufficient, first,
to supply our own people, our allies
and the neutrals who depend upon
us, and, second, to replenish our ma
tional reserves of grain, livestock
and dairy products, now depleted to
point where single short crop
will threaten us with famine.
Americas acres can and must win
the war.

Student Nurse Reserve.

Because the nations reserve has
been depleted by the calling OF
literally thousands of graduate
nurses for service in military and
naval hospitals, it is absolutely
necessary Immediately to call 25,-
900 student nurses for training in
American hospitals.
These young women are to be en-.
rolled in the United States Student
Nurse Reserve. The enrolment will
begin July 20.
The war is creating an UMPIRE
'Hedent demand for trained nurses
Only those who have taken the full
training course are eligible for SER
vice with our forces overseas. These
nurses are being drawn largely from
our hospitals at home. Their places
must be filled by student nurses EN-
rolled for the full training course OF
from two to three years. Every
young woman who enrolls in the
United States Student Nurse Reserve
is releasing nurse Tor service al
the front and swelling the homf
army which we, must rely on to ACT
rs our second line of hospital de
Tense. Upon the health of tho
American people will depend tn

The student nurse gets her board
lodging, and tuition free at practi
cally every training school. and il
most cases receives a small remuner.
alton to cover the cost of books and
uniforms. After graduation she has
an earning capacity of from 500 to

Sugar Losses BY Submarine.

The submarine depredations of
the Atlantic coast early in June re,
suited in the loss of 1854 tons OF
sugar from Cuba and Porto Rico.
This represents nearly one-flfth of
the total weekly consumption of
sugar in the United States and is
more than the recent total sugar
allowance of Great Britain Tor jam
making this year.
Although the cargoes were fully
covered by insurance the loss of the
sugar emphasizes the need for addi-
tional conservation of this important
commodity.

Perplexed Congressman And Con-
StituentS.

The members of the Ways ana
Means Committee of Congress are
entitled to sympathy. In the near
ings now being conducted ON the
new revenue bill they must listen
day after day to pleas put forward
nv representatives of one business
interest after another who argue
that the war taxes now imposed
upon their particular interest shoulo
he abolished or at least not lncfeas-
ed. AS these advocates make their
plea they are questioned by members
of the committee who want to know
where to get the enormous revenue
needed if they may not look TO the
interest under discussion for at least
a part of it. The question usually
proves a poser, the witness leaves
the stand with the uncomfortable
feeling that he has failed to impress
the committee with the need OF do
ing as he has asked, and the COM
mittee probably feels that it is sure
to do something wrong no matter
what course it may take.
And yet there is no need Tor such
a situation. The productive indus
tries Directing to increased taxes
should be able to show how addi-
tional revenue can be had without
putting more burdens on business
Congress has neglected the one
source from which it can get revenue
without hurting industry. If those
who are protesting against proposed
increases in their taxes would point
to this source they would not be
stumped when the Ways and Means
Committee asks for information
Because they do not do so they fall
to help either those they represent
or the committee.
The source that Congress has
neglected is land values. The value
of all land in the United States ex-
elusive of all improvements has been
estimated at various amounts in the
absence of official valuations. Prob
ably the correct amount is one
hundred billions, which gives an
annual rental value of about six bill
lions. About five hundred millions
of this are already taken in state
and local taxes. So here is source
from which five and half billions
more could be taken each year. 10
take it would not interfere with in
dustry. Those who use the LAND
must pay it anyway. If legislation
is not enacted to put 1t into the pub
lie till landlords will take it fol
their private use. In either case II
must be paid by producers of wealth
But so long as the landlords are al,
lowed to appropriate it the govern
ment must tax industry for its needs
Yet the representatives of business
interests go before the congressional
committee asking to be relieved OF
taxation without enlightening the
congressman as to where they ought
to go. And these same business men
will abuse the congressman should
they fail to give them relief.
The average congressman. is nc
wiser than his average constituent
If the constituent will not take the
trouble to inform himself on correct
principles of taxation he should no,
blame his congressman for similar
neglect.
