Favors Profits in Reason.

"Of course. no one objects to reason
able profits; on the contrary, every
one should want, and. am sure. does
want, business and enterprise to be
rewarded with reasonable or even
liberal profits. Prosperity should be
preserved and can be preserved, 1 be-
lleve. on the basis of reasonable
profits"
The way in which a higher normal
rate on incomes would promote the
sale of liberty bonds. particularly to
persons of big means. was explained
as follows:
II hope that 1t will not be necessary
further to increase the interest rate
on government bonds. The number of
subscribers to the three liberty bonds
aggregate 30.000.000. The people who
subscribed are impatient Of those who
have not. Various plans have been
urged upon mo for forcing the people
to buy liberty bonds. The man of
small means who buys 800 bond
wants his neighbor to do so. too.
There 10 q popular demand also for
high taxes upon war profits. There
people should contribute to financing
the war.
Exempts Liberty Bonds.
There should. therefore. be a SUBJ
stantial increase in the normal in
come tax rate and higher tax should
be levied upon so-called unearned
than on earned incomes. Income de-
rived from liberty bonds would be
exempt from this taxation and the
relation between income from liberty
bonds and income from other securi-
ties would be readjusted without in
creasing the rate of interest on lib
erty bonds. 1t would not tax the pa
triotio purchasers of liberty bonds on
their holdings, but 1t would weigh
heavily upon the shirkers who have
not bought them. 1t would make the
return from liberty bonds compare
favorably with the return from other
securities.
There Is another feature deserv-
ing of consideration. There is a nat
ural feeling among the masses of
the people that taxation upon In
comes and upon war profits should be
high enough to bring the return from
corporate investments more nearly
on a parity with the return from
government bonds: that the govern
ment should not be forced to COM
pete for credit with war industries
which are prohting abnormally and
which, unless restrained by the ex-
ercise Of sound and Just taxation.

WHICH HAS THE KNOCKOUT PUNCHq

No student Of the war map can fail to
appreciate the serious situation on the
western front-serious for both the Allies
and the Germans.
The great battle rapidly is becoming a
question as to which army has the knock
out punch in reserve.
Two dangerous salients have been Gre
ated, one filled with great danger to the
Germans and one with great danger to the
Allies. The new line from Montdidier to
Rheims has the shape Of the letter rs" re-
versed. To the north the Allied line pro
jects into the German line in deep salient
with its apex at Chauny, and it's bases at
Montdidier and Chateau-Thierry To the
south, the German salient has it's apex on
the Marine at Chateau Thierry and it's
bases at Scissors and Rheims.
The German salient is sharper and
deeper and therefore more dangerous than
the Allied.
IF the Germans should drive south from
Montdidier and north from Chateau
Thierry they would force a hasty retire
ment of the Allied troops and straighten
their line on front scarcely As miles from
Paris.
On the other hand if the Allies can drive
north from Rheims and south from Sois-
sons, they would pinch off the new salient
created by the last German attack, and
restore the old line at very heavy cost to
the Germans in men and material.
The situation is that of two pairs Of
pincers gripping each other. It is ques-
ton now Of which can grip the harder.

Bravado And The War
By Robert Grant Of The VieiIantes.

Recently during an intermission at the movies
a performer came out and sang with gusto a
song, which pleased the audience about "Pershing
crossing the Rhine" Every few days one reads
headlines, in the newspapers proclaiming that
Americans have repulsed or Vanquished 33
Germans. This is baleful talk Our delay in the
production of ships and aeroplanes and guns
may have been unavoidable seeing that some
people are thanking God that the United States
entered the war unpfepared, but should at
least refrain from bravado stop boasting of what
we are going to do and recognize the gravity

troops ever reach Berlin, when they come to a

It is meet for Americans to bear In mind
people have fought were child's play compared
with this most terrific and relentless contest
in history and that their part in it has only just
begun. Let us cease to hug the delusion that
our troops are over there" to show the others
how to fight and that all win soon be over but
truth that this war which we have pledged our
selves to win is likely to be supreme test OF
American energy, endurance and self
sacrifice and to cost thousands OF American
lives. We are all of the belief that no man
is drawer than an American, but it is indispen-
against whom we are pitted; that he is the arch
fiend Of military competency and power, the
ruthless, unwearying embodiment OF mastery
force and resistance, a monster OF resourceful-
ness such as the world has never seen.

Amringe, loved for years and years by the stu
dents and adherents of the university, began
to find the duties Of his office too arduous and
the directors knew that his successor must be
named in the near future, the universal remark
among grads and students was:
'4od help the man who has TO follow Van
Am"
3 The magnitude of the job and the affection
everyone had for the aged leader prompted the
remark
But when the time finally came Keppel was
chosen for the chair. A round OF cheering and
applause greeted his first public appearance be-
fore the university and letters OF congratula-
tions poured in to him and the university direc-
torate.
The Importance of Individual attention to the
Individual student was just being recognized
at that time. KeppeI handled the change in
teaching methods well.
KeppeTs comparative youth stood him in good
stead He was able to grasp tho student point
OF view in every detail Of the college life. He
was immensely popular with the student body.
He also had the university and administrative
experience to increase his worth.
Keppel is one OF 100000 Columbia graduates
who have entered government service In some
branch. And he is only one OF many college
deans who have forsaken quiet academic lives to-
give their brains. training and time ia Che cause

STICKING TO OLD FRIENDS,

Let us not forget the man who has left
his business in the hands of friends and
gone to war
There are scores of such men in Fargo,
and the smaller towns of North Dakota.
The personality is gone from the bust
ness, and in a majority Of the cases the
business is of size and nature where the
personality counts for much. They are ci-
gar stores, drug stores, and small retail
establishments, in many cases. The old
familiar face behind the counter is gone,
but the only friend worth having is the
friend who will stick when he is needed.
Let us stand by the men who are fight
ing our fight.
