WHAT THE WAR IS COSTING A
FEW OF THE RICH.

Before war was declared against
Germany we were told by the paci-
fists, socialists, |. w. WIS and pro-
Germans generally that the big inter-
ests were trying to force the country
into war in order to swell their al
ready large profits, while the work.
ingmen and the sons of those of mod
crate means who compose the bulk
of the population would be called in
to service to face the storm of Prus
sian bullets, while the sons Of the rich
and we'll to do would remain at home
TO revel In war profits far removed
from the scene of conflict. Now after
the first year of the war is passed we
still hear the same cry from the same
pro German source that this Is cap
italistc war, this in spite Of the fact
that sons of the rich have and are re-
spending to the call to arms with a
patriotic ardor that Is unexcelled in
any class of our citizenship. They are
serving in the trenches in the air, on
the sea, in the Red Cross, in the Y. M.
C. A. and the X. c., and in fact in
every branch of war activity. giving
the lie to the defamers of our country
and adding glory to American citizen
ship.
And how Is the so-called capitalistic
class faring in the way Of war profits
The New York Times has compiled a
list of thirty Of the richest men in the
United States with the probable
amount they are required to pay for
the year 1917 under the income tax
law. OF course the government holds
this matter as strictly confidential
and 1t would therefore be impossible
to obtain the actual figures from the
record, but the Times has compiled
the information from the best avail
able sources and the tax collectors of
New York have stated that the esti-
mates are not fantastic" 1t may
therefore be assumed that the figures
here given are not far from correct
Here are the thirty names with theil
lished by the Times:

HOW MONEY PAID FOR BONDS
COMES BACK.

The cycle of money invested in Lib
erty bonds is short and complete. The
people lend the money to the govern
ment, the government lends some to
our allies, and our government and
our allies straightway spend the mon
ey, or the greater portion of it among
the people of the United States. In
some instances the money paid in by
wage earners on one installment Of
Liberty bonds Is paid by the govern
ment to their employers, and by their
employers paid back to them in the
way Of wages before the next bond in
stallment Is due.
Buy Liberty bonds.

league of organized criminals is soon
to meet its well -merited fate through
the vigorous action of the pent up
wrath of a long suffering public. The
situation had become intolerable even
before our country became involved in
war. Since that time the attitude Of
the l. w. w. has not only continued
to be criminal, but II became an ally
Of the enemy and a positive menace
to the successful prosecution Of the
war. The aggressive steps that are
now being taken through the courts
to convict the leaders should be fol-

All incomes of 100000 or more

this big levy comes after ordinary in

been deducted Take for example an
income of $2,500,00O. When the man
who draws that amount has paid the
demands of the government he has
left 100000. being only a little more
than third Of his income. True, this
is princely income, but how does II
compare with that before the war?
Does it bear out the socialist and pac-
ifst assertions that this government
has been forced into war by the cap
ltalistic class" in order to swell their
profits? There is another heavy draft
upon the rich that does not appear in
the record. Out of this balance of
100000 there are heavy subscriptions
to Liberty bonds, contributions to the
Red Cross, the Y. M. c. A., the X. C.
and numerous gifts of a personal ma
ture to relieve suffering due to the
war. In view Of these figures and
facts, there should be an end to the
demagogic mouthings that this Is "a
rich mans war"

THE WISCONSIN ELECTION is A
VICTORY FOR LOYALTY.

The election OF Lenroot to the Unit
ed States senate In Wisconsin was a
decisive victory for loyalty, but 1t Is
most regretable that the returns show
that the state harbors almost 1000
disloyal citizens ranging from pin
headed pacifists to radical pro German
sympathizers, all meeting on common
ground in support of the socialist can
didate for the senate, Victor Berger.
The vote for Berger was not all So
cialistic, for there is no doubt the
supporters of Thompson, the defeated
LaFollette candidate for the republi-
can nomination, sought and found con-
genial company in the Berger ranks.
But taken altogether it was a dis
loyal pro- German vote, and to attempt
to class any of them as loyal and to
excuse their action on the ground OF
following party name is in effect to
give substantial encouragement to the
German propaganda in this country.
No loyal citizen allows himself to
blindly follow party name to the ex-
tent of voting for man VIGOROUSLY
in sympathy with the enemies of his
country and who at the time is await
ing trial on a charge Of sedition.
Therefore every man who voted for
Berger must be regarded as approx
ing his reasonable conduct. There
can be no other conclusion, and to at
tempt to construe 1t otherwise is in
directly giving aid and comfort to the
enemy. So far as the socialists are
concerned, in supporting Berger they
simply voted true to form, for as
party they have been opposed to the
government both before and since war
was declared against Germany AS to
the LaFollette crowd, having been re-
pudiated by the republican party, they
simply turned to Berger as a fitting
substitute for their discredited leader
But the vote as a whole throughout
the state was most gratifying, for 1t

The most terrible misconception of
this terrible time is the belief of some
people that this is a rich mans war.
capitalistic war The farming COM
munities of Kansas are thoroughly
permeated with the idea that vicious
profiteering has made the farming
class a burden bearer, and they are
brooding over this. The doctrinaires,
simpletons and hOodlums echo this
from their soap boxes. The German
propagandists cleverly foster it, for in
so doing they know that they are ac-
cOmplishing the German purpose bet
ter than by the winning of many bat
ties. Consider what they have sue
ceeded in doing in Russia and what
they almost did in Italy.
Previous to the entrance of the
United States into the war, business
was extremely prosperous. Disturb
ance of this prosperity was the last
thing that any business man wanted.
Whenever there was any intimation
that the United States might become
involved in the war, as when the Lusi-
tania was sunk. the stock market
trembled. With the actual entry of
the United States into the war there
began decline in the prices for Sc
curities that was deeply disturbing
and distressing. On top Of this, our
industries were saddled with an ap-
palling burden Of taxation. as it not
perfectly manifest to the meanest un-
derstanding," asks Mr.. Kahn, that
any business man fomenting our en-
trance into the war for the purpose of
gain must have been entirely bereft
OF his senses and would have been a
fit subject for the appointment of a
guardian to take care of himself and
his affairs?
No, this is not rich mans war as
1t is being fought by us. Germany
may be fighting a rich mans war, but
we are fighting for democracy, the
very antithesis Of what Germany is
fighting for; and democracy means
the interest Of everybody. There is
no such thing as class in this concep-
ton. Any American citizen who de-
MES this. or broods over what he
thinks is unfavorable class treatment.
or seeks to arouse class animosities,
repudiates the noble leadership of our
president, than whom no statesman
has enunciated more clearly the prin-
ciples for which we are fighting. The
lunatics of Russia and the poor fools
who are deluded by them have fouled
their own nest and have played the
German game. The takers in this
country who would like to do likewise
ought to be interned in places where
they can do no harm. They should be
treated as carriers of the germs of in
sidious disease. endangering the pub
lie.
While we have left these focuses of
Infection circulate without molestation
lest we be charged with interfering
with the right Of free speech, we have
been too mealy- mouthed in talking to
the workers who have listened to
them. We have relied too much upon
the sound admonitions Of Samuel
iompers and William B. Wilson,
