Coal Administrator Garfield estimating
that about 3J 100000 gallons of
gasoline have been saved by the general
compliance with his request that the
use Of automobiles on Sundays be re-

But Of far greater value than the oil
thus saved is the splendid exhibition Of
patriotism involved in this most inter-
csting experiment No mandate of law
prohibited free use of automobiles on

the people to refrain, as q measure Of
economy that would help win the war.

NFW GER MAN GAS FAILS

The Germans seem 10 have won the
race TO discover i gas which should be
invisible and practically odorless, but
for once their 'boasted science has failed
them, for the result has been otherwise
disappointing Their hope was that
they would be able TO produce gas
which would disable its victim before
be was are that it was being employed
This would compel armies either 30 wear
hampering gas-masks al all times, in
fear Of surprise, or to take great risks
ny going without them. Nov the sur
prise has almost been achieved but the
gas its'lf Is a poor performer The
mortality among those who come in
actual contact with it Is only o. per
cent and it is so light in body that it is
soon dissipated
The number Of victims of this gas
during recent French offensive was
only 43, and these have been gathered
in a single hospital for observation.
It's effects are nov Immediate, and the
soldier may fight for some time after
lnhaiing it, the symptoms being delayed
for several hours, or even days The
effect produced is similar to that of the
so-called "emetic" gas which the Ger
mans employed on the Italian front.
1t produces tears and nausea Its after
effects include bronchitis, hoarseness and
sometimes loss of voice Death in the
small proportion Of fatal eases is due to
congestion of the lungs Portland Ore

HOUSE CODDLES FARMER.

To include the farmer among those
who should he subject to a $40 occupation
al tax was . form OF outrage that the
House refused 70 sanction few weeks
before election. II could not forget that
the hardy tiller Of the soil Is a voter who
has the reputation Of carving his per-
sonal grievances to the polls, and rather
than rIsk his resentment il overlooked
the Nations needs Tor revenue. It
goes against the farmer grain to pay
direct taxes. although he has been trained
TO submit without complaint 10 lndirec:
taxation ten or twenty times as heavy as
that Of which the House sought to re-
Ieve him IN bidding for his favor
In utter disregard Of the political
precautions taken by the House, the
Senate has now claSsed farmers among
those who shall pay a small occupationai
taA. 1t has shown neither signs OF fear
Of the everlasting wrath Of the farming
cheap demagogy Of Representatives 10
whom al this season politics is the first
consideration Better cooperation on
the part Of the Senate was hoped for bv
the House. Al any rate IL can plead
that 1t did its best by the farmer and
then dodge trouble by postponing any
agreement on the War Revenue Bill
until after Nov :
But why should Congress name s., 500
as the minimum income calling for a
$40 occupational tax? Who suggested
that figure, and on what reasoning?
By making the limit lower, the number
of taxpayers and the amount OF revenue
collected would be greatly increased.
II could be done with justice, and in
cidentally II would help in uncovering
new sources of revenue through more
uniform enforcement Of the Income
tax law-New York World
