which the holders of those bonds are

economies.
There 10 another feature deserving
OF consideration. We are asking the
people to finance this war and we are
offering them an Investment paying
& Ia per cent interest. The people
have responded wonderfully to this
appeal In the last liberty loan cam
paign 100000, approximately. sub
scribed.
There n q widespread feeling that
many people who are able to DO 80.
especially those who are making vast
profits out of the war, are not doing
their part, either I'm the purchase Of
liberty bonds or In the payment OF
tsxes-that they are investing In cor
porate stocks and bonds producing
high returns instead OF IN the bonds Of
their own government producing rea-
sonable returns, when the first duty
Of patriotism and self-protection de-
mands that they shall buy government
bonds for the protection of the gov
ernnnent In its hour of peril.
There Is q natural feeling among
the masses of the people that. taxa
tton upon incomes and upon war
profits should be high enough to
bring the return from corporate in
Vestments more nearly on a parity
with the return from government
bonds; that the government should
not be forced to compete for credit
with war industries which are
prohting abnormally and which, un-
less restrained by the exercise of
sound and Just taxation. will con-
stantly add TO the dificulties of
the people of the United States in
their effort to supply the govern
ment at reasonable interest rates
with the credit IL needs to hght
successfully this war for liberty.
His Recommendations.
IF 1 may. without improprIety,
offer . suggestion as to the propos-
ed revenue measure. I should recon-
mend:
u. That one third Of the cash
expenditures to be made during the
fiscal year ending June 90, 1919, be
provided by taxation. According
to my estimates. this would involve
raising $4,000. 100000 through taxa
tion.
"2. That a real war profits tax
at a high rate be levied upon all
war profits. This tax should be
super-imposed upon the existing ex-
cess profits tax in such a way that
the taxpayer should be required to
pay whichever tax " the greater.
The existing excess profits tax
should be amended in certain i'm

10 q popular demand also for high
taxes upon war profits.
There II also popular demand
that all the people should contri-
butte to financing the war, There
should. therefore, be a substantial
Increase in the normal income tar
ratio and O higher tax should be
levied upon so-calied unearned than
on earned incomes. Income deriv-
ed from liberty bonds would be
exempt from this taxation and the
relation between income from lib
erty bonds and income from other
securities would be read1usted with
out Increasing the ratio of interest
on liberty bonds.
TT would not tax the patriotic
purchasers of liberty bonds on their
holdings, but 1t would weigh heavi-
lily upon the shirkers who have not
bought them. It would make the
return from liberty bonds compare
favorably with the return from
other securities.
TT would give the. governments
bonds an essential and necessary
advantage over those Of corporate
borrowers and would very greatly
decrease the relative advantage
which State and municipal bonds
now enjoy through the total ex-
emption which they carry. It would
produce a gradual readjustment of
the situation in the investment
market instead of an abrupt one, a.
would be the case IL the interest
rate on liberty bonds should be in
creased.
Normal Tax Equal.
"A normal tax falls upon all. alike.
Therefore, as l pointed out In my
Committee last summer, there IL not
the same objection to the exemption
from normal income taxes as there
Is to the exemption from surtaxes.
"a substantial increase IN the nor
NAL income tax is the soundest and
surest way of stabilizing the price Of
government bonds. II we have to In
crease the interest rate on govern
ment bonds, the increased rate may
continue for twenty to thirty years
and some Of the bonds which We have
issued will go to great premiums not
long after the war Is over.
"If we make the bonds at the pres
ent rate more attractive by increasing
the normal tax. then the decrease in
taxation which will follow the close
OF the war will automatically adjust
the situation. believe that to stabil-
ize the price Of government bonds by

II will be better, of course, If each

The Mercer county fair which
| was held in Aiedo last week was
not so well attended as last year,
! when the record for paid admis-
sions vas broken all three days.
The receipts at the gate and the
amJhitheatre last year were S13,-

over $4,000. The attendance on
each day this year was as fol
lows:

{ Thursday ......-.-....- LOCO
FRIDAY o'lVo
Last year there was a total of
24.749 paid admissions. The ex-
tremeIy cold weather that prevail
ed all three DAYS this year, was in
a great measure responsible for the
lack of attendance and also there
are now something like 700 men in
the service of Uncle Sam from this
county
The hog, cattle and poultry de-
partments were the largest in the
history Of the fair The racing
was good. There we're more start
ers in the races than there have
been for years, and it required five
heats to determine the winners in
the free-fOr-all race Friday. The
contest in this race was between
Banquet, driven by DR.. W. ". War
mock, and Society Leader, driven by
Walter b. Smith. Both of these
horses were owned and driven by
AIedO men, which made it much
more interesting for the people Of
Mercer county. Society Leader fin
ally won first place with Banquet
second. The other three horses in
this race did not have a look-in for
first money.
The Mercer county crop improve
ment association had a very inter
esting display in d large tent on
the grounds. This tent was filled
with throngs of people each day.
In one corner of the tent was a
corn field with hogs in it showing
the advantage of the use of soy
beans in the corn, and illustrating
how the soy bean will increase the
amount of pork, whether the hogs
are turned into the corn field or
fed from the silO, over the old
method of growing nothing but corn
in the field. Also in this tent was
a miniature farm showing the ar
rangement of the buildings, and
also the amount of ground that
should be used for each kind of
grain in order to renew the ground
by the rotation of crops. Also the

reproduced in miniature, in this
tent showing the methods used to
show the difference in production

IOWAN DIES OF
FEARFUL SHOCK
Charles Halliday of Clinton, Meets
Horrible heath After Legs Are
Severed by Train.

Charles Edward Halliday, %, a
Clinton machinist, as a result of
the shock sustained when both legs
were severed above the knees IN
der a c. NJ. & st. z. combination
train near Dixon, Iowa, Tuesday
evening, died three hours later
in a hospital in Davenport.
He was riding the rods under
freight car. In some manner he
fell off, directly under the wheels.
His body was noticed after all the
cars in the train had passed over
it, and he was taken to Davenport,
still conscious.
At Mercy hospital, where he was
rushed in the city ambulance after
the train arrived, he told his name,
address, and who his relatives are.
Then both of his mangled limbs
were amputated, four physicians
taking part in the operation.
Miss Gladys Scofield, a student at
St. katharine's school, was one Of
the principal witnesses at the in
quest held in Davenport last night.
According to stories told the cor
oner, she was riding in one Of the
passenger coaches, with her head
out of the window
She is said to have noticed Halli-
days head sticking out from under
a freight car farther up in the train.
Halliday saw her, the coroner was
told, and made faces" at her. Just
a short time later his body was no.
ticed in the tracks behind the train.

after the mans death, said he left
