crease of 100000 there was on Aug
ust 1, 1917, a decrease of 10000 to
which another 100000 was added as a
result of the decline in birth figures
that still continues. The absolute de-
crease in the population after three
years therefore would have been two
per cent. of the number at the begin

The Newspaper House"

From the Columbus Dispatch.
 The man who reads only the first page of the paper is getting ms moneys worth, but he is missing a good deal that doesn't cost him any thing. after he reads the first page. He will know as little about the world as a man would know about the home if he never entered further than the front hall.
 William Allen White used to refer to the first page as the parlor page, but it isn't even that. It's only the front hall-the entrance to the house, the place to take off your overcOat, coat and hat and rubbers. You are even invited to sit down on the front page; instead, at the bottom of the many columns you are given an invi- tation to proceed into the next room.
 But just as the front hall gIves one the first impression of the home, so the first page gives one the first i'm. pression of the paper. If it is dis orderly and uncleanly; if the langu- age is coarse and harsh and impolite, you need not expect a change oi scene or manners when you get past the front page no ulOIe ludn SOu would expect to find an orderly house hold if you had to climb over chairs to get past the hat rack-no more than you would expect the man of the house, or the woman, to treat you kindly if he or she threw a brick al you as you entered the door.
 Read the first page by all means Don't come into the house through a side door, nor by way of the chimney Get a glimpse of the house by paus ing at the door. But proceed orderly into the parlor, tarry while therein and repair to the dining room, where the feast is served. And with a news paper it is all dining room after you enter the door; there is food served on every page of the paper, and pleas ure throughout the household.

While the world is waiting, tense with eager expectancy, for the allies to strike back at the advancing Hun, it might be well to consider something of the character and thought of Gen. Ferdinand Foch who holds in his hand this thunderbolt. For tunately, General Foch has set down his thoughts and ideas up on paper. In his book, The Conduct of War, which Is a textbook on war the world over, Foch says: There are not two theories or two schools There is only one. There can be only one the theory and the school of good sense. In certain cases good sense requires attack at all costs; in others, good sense demands defense to the last minute These words were written years ago, and today finds the author, with five million soldiers under lis command, facing the alternative of whether to attack or continue the defense. When will he strike, asks the world? And Foch wrote the answer long ago. When good sense requires it. Good sense! The finest guide for man or general, the world over Be sure Foch will strike when the time is ripe. This column pins its faith to Foch, the greatest general and fighter of them all

It's Lesson

One thing the recent German offensive has taught the allies and which they will surely use against Germany some day, IS. that the deadlock of trench warfare can be broken, if only one side can muster enough men and guns for the blow. Fortunately Germany did not have enough men and guns to get clear through, but with what she had she forced the line back over twenty miles and fought in the open tor days at a time.
 The.lesson of this offensive should come to America stronger than any other allled nation. For upon America the allies de- pend for just that preponderance of men and guns necessary to break this deadlock once and for all. When America's full strength is placed in the field no German power can withstand it if launched and di- rected,by General Foch.
 Consider, if you can an allied offensive upon twice the scale of the German ad- vance in Picardy, with three times the re- serves. Well, that Is just what the allies should be able to launch by this time next year if America carries out her present pro- gram of shipbuilding and munition making and airplaine construction and draft and training camp activities.
 And Germany knows it. Hence the big gamble in Picardy.
 The German lines will not stand the strain the allies have successfully with stood west of La Fere. A twenty-five mile bend in the German lines will mean break or big retirement.
 Let us, then, take this lesson of the last offensive, and consequent fighting in the open, home and profit by it. We must work harder and faster, and with more de- votion and self-sacrifice, seek by every means to aid in the great task of making this country ready to do her full part in the war. The Prussian is fighting against time against the day when America shall be ready. Aare you doing your all to hasten that day9

THE DAY OF DAYS.

With the allies at bay in what may well be the cruical battle of the Great War, to- day also ushers in with glorious rush of patriotism the drive in America for the third Liberty loan of three billion dollars. Not since the days of the first Continental congress has there been such call in this country for sacrifice in the interest of great national stress and peril. Today also marks the end of our first year of the,war. April is a momentous date in American history Late dispatches last night indi- cated also that the date of April 6 of this year would be glorious date. It also wit nesses the German power at its zenith. What will April of next year witness of German power9 Its rise or fall depends as much upon the efforts behind the allied lines as upon the willing sacrifice of our soldiers in the field.

DISTRICT WORKERS READY TO ATTACK
 GERMAN TRENCHES

Committees to inaugurate the Third Liberty Loan drive in the Warren dis trict are ready for their work, ar engagements for the campaign have been practically completed, and on the morning of the opening of the drive ana the first anniversary of this na- tion's entry into the war, the Warren district is awaiting the arrival of ma terials from the headquarters of this division. It is probable that workers will begin their canvas of the several districts into which Bisbee, Lowell and Warren have been divided by Monday.
 A series of trenches on the German front will represent the Warren dis trict's campaign to secure it's quota oi the more than one million dollars al loted to the county on the occasion of this drive. These trenches will be placed in some public place, and as each ten thousand dollars is subscrib- ed. one section of trench will be filled in with allied forces. The plan has been worked out by Thomas E. Egan, secretary of the district commercial club, who has secured the sign and made arrangements for placing It Tn some public position near the business center of Bisbee.
 lover the Top to Berlin" says the sign in large letters. Third Liberty Loan. How Many Trenches Will Bis bee Take?"
 Beneath this legend are a series Of trenches each representing one hun dred thousand dollars. Gradually as the subscriptions pour in the trenches will be marked occupied by painting them over.
 Occupation of the trenches will be made a regular daily celebration. A time will be set when committees Will announce their total sales for the day, and when the grand total will be an nounced 10 the public and the trenches taken. It is possible that band Will be secured occasionally to assist when days total has been unusually large, and plans for the boosting of the sale of war stamps while the trenching ex- ercises are in operation, are being considered. What form these plans will take has not yet been disclosed.
 Completion of the Warren district quota in a whirlwind campaign is planned by those who have charge O. the assault on the trenches. ThrOush concerted action and hard work it is hoped that this drive will be ended in even mere record time than was the campaign or last fall.

THE SAME, THEN, NOW, AND
 FOREVER!

Over two thousand years ago Julius Caesar, in his Commentaries, wrote of the Hun:
 From a national point of view they deem it credit to devastate the widest pos sible area of territory outside their borders; they consider that by this is signified the great number of states which are unable to resist their power Thus about six hundred miles of country adjoining the Suebi are said to lie waste
 A few weeks ago, special correspon- dent wrote as follows in the Berlin An zeiger, concerning the alleged exploits of his countrymen, the Huns:
 During these last weeks great stretches of French territory have been transformed by us into dead country. No village or farm was left standing on this glacis, no road was left passable. no railway track or embankment was left in existence. In front of our new position runs, like gigantic rib bon, realm of death.

The German military offensive has been met with dogged and unyielding bravery by the allied battle line. How will the Aus trian peace offensive be met by the allied civilian line? We know our soldiers are brave Are we brave, too? The Picardy line is unbroken still How of the London line; the Paris line; the Washington line? How of the workshop and shipyard and farmyard line2 How of the newspaper line; the politician line; the freside line? Will they hold? The man. on the street corner, in the office and the factory and the field and the store, Is his heart as brave as the heart of his brother in Picardy? Will he talk and work as well as his brother fights? If he will, the Picardy line will hold firm until the power of the offensive is broken, and then it will advance again to the eastward, never stopping until the war is won.

In the city election held this week in Phoenix much the same state of affairs prevailed we face here in the Warren dis trict with our city election only few weeks distant The more radical of the labor element, the Hunt following and the wobblies, all fought the reelection of Peter Corpstein. the present capable and fearless mayor of the capital city "Corpstein must go!" was the cry of the radicals and the agi- tators. But he did not go The Hunt brand of politics and wild-eyed agitation got its first body blow of the year in the first test at the polls. Huntism in the state capital went down for the count, to quote the classic language of Major Kelly Douglas in describing the event. Jacob Ericsson, fearless and fair and capable as a mayor, Is up for reelection on non- partisan ticket in Bisbee. Huntism and wobblyism are arrayed against him. That shining example set by Phoenix looks Pret- ty fine. Let's follow 1t.

There is river in France so narrow that you can talk across it. Birds can fly over with one sweep of their wings Great armies are on either bank, but they are as far apart as the stars in the sky, as far as right and wrong. There is great ocean. It is so wide that seagulls cannot fly across it without rest. Upon either shore there are great nations. They are so close that their hearts touch. Written by a French girl. I6 years old.

Austria, always a perfidious country, never in all her long and shameful career, stood in a worse light than that in which she now stands. She breaches peace with bloody hands. She prates of her ideals and unselEshness and yet slyly and silently moves in to reap in Russia where Germany has sown. Germany is beast; Austria is contemptible Germany is a tiger; Austria Is the jackal that that turks at the Huns heels. Austrian statesmen mislead their people with protestations of honesty and single purpose while Austrian gener- als lead their troops into despoiled land.

Just see the position of our friend Henry. lie Is
n successful man in his business and draws a salary Of
$4,000 n year. Across the street Is n man who IN
herited from his parents property (real estate, stocks,
etc., which produce an income of $4,000 "A year. lie
doesn't do a lick of work, while Henry works long
hours and every day. Henry is n producer, and yet
he pays the government $500 a year more taxes on his
income than does his neighbor.
When you look at the income tax. you find that
Rockefeller pays on part Of his income 67fe. This part
of his income. it is safe TO say, is mostly derived from
dividends on his Standard Oil stock. Now the Standard
Oil company pays an excess profits tax. On that part
of the earnings which is paid to the government,
Rockefellers stock is not charged with any greater per-
centage of its earnings than Is the five shares OF stock
which Henry Brown has purchased and holds.
Splitting the Standard Oil earnings. then. between
the part which is taxed in the hands of the company
and the part which is taxed after distribution TO the
stockholders, in the one case Rockefeller only pays the
same amount that the smallest stakeholder pays Of the
earnings per share. But on the part distributed 10 the
stockholders. he pays from Is to 20 times as much rs
is paid by the smallest stakeholder.
II is now proposed that Rockefeller shall pay the
same percentage of the cost of the $1,000 pearl neck
lace he may give his daughter as is paid by the work
ing man on the cost of the S25 watch he buys his
daughter.

II is also proposed to levy n tax on all automobiles
according to horse power. According to that, the
man who bought an old Pierce-Arrow for 5000 would
pay the same tax that is paid by the millionaire who
purchases a new C~rane-Simplcx with elaborate fittings.
The factory superintendent, with a salary of $1,000
n year. who is married but has no children, is allowed
exemption from taxation Of $1,000, which Is TO cover
the necessary expenses for food, clothing, rent, etc.
The farmer, who is married and has no children, is
allowed this same 1000 xempti for food, clothing,
etc, and IN ADDITION gets an exemption of the
equivalent to the market price of all he produces
which he uses for food and clothing.
This same factory superintendent, If he lives in
n rented house, is not allowed any deduction for rent.
His neighbor, who owns his own house, however, does
not have to include in his income any charge for the
use of that house. This amounts to an additional ex-
emption for the man who owns his own house.
These Illustrations show the varying measures
used to determine the amount of taxes levied upon
different people.
There is only one true. just measure for the levy
ing of war taxation, and that liability to pay. In
each Of the cases mentioned. there is a departure from
that rule, and the departure works against the man
with the small income.
The committee which is drafting the new tax bill
should take this one standard measure Of ability to
pay" and apply il TO all the tentative conclusions which
they have reached and which they may reach in the
future.
