WANTS A CHANGE.

The Leon Reporter last week says
there is little attention being paid TO
politics at present because OF the
liberty war now in progress, but
party or organizations must be MAIN
tanned and organization continued.
Bro. Hull wants the state, commit
tee reorganiZed and good clean men
elected, men who represent the
policies of the democratic party OF
Iowa. He thinks Dr.. Reynolds who
succeeded Nick Reed as state char
man by Reeds suggestion should be
retired as he does not represent the
democratic party Of the ,eigll!l dis
trict and wants good democrat in
the eighth district selected who
does not have the faint OF the OLD
whiskey ring clinging to him. AS
the editor of the Journal has been
out of active politics for the, past
three or four years he admits he has
lost the run and personal knowledge
OF the leaders of the party in this
district as we'll as in the state. but
he is in favor of good clean men,
untainted with even suspicion OF
crookedness Of pure morals and VINO
will be an honor to the party as
leaders.-Mt. Ayr journal.

$4,000, 100000 FROM TAXES AND
MORE NEEDED.

Taxes on incomes and excess pro
fits will yield 2,775,1S5,000, as
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
reports to the senate. From other
! internal revenue sources $685. l H.
600 may be expected b., July !, more more
alcoholic liquors. The total from
these and all taxes is placed at S4,-
O95, 699, 900.
This will be almost one-third OF
the total expenditures OF the govern
ment for the fiscal year now near
ing an end, including loans to al
! lies. If the latter be omitted, as
they should be in such a calculation,
almost one-half OF our war eXpendi-
lures is being paid for from current
So great a proportion of taxes to
loans for the costs of war vastly eX-
ceeds that OF any other belligerent
nation and vastly exceeds anything
known in our own prior war expert
ences.
The question before congress to
which these figures appertain is the
| immediate imposition OF much heaV-
Ter taxes. This is urged by Secretary
McAdoo, while congress is disposed
| to wait until the next session, when
the needs of the government may be
better known.
1t is question, however, to be
determined by appropriations now
being made for the next fiscal year,
and these appropriations are to be
determined by what the government
can efficiently spend for war pur-
poses during that time.
We are harked back to that prop
osition from whatever point the sit
uation may suggest. Heavier taxes
are certainly not needed unless much
heavier appropriations must be vot-
and mi much h he Gand apPpoprlafons
more money can be efficiently spent
in prosecuting the war than is be-
| ing spent.
Congress now has a solid basis of
experience on which to reckon the
governments capacity for. efficient
tie this whole question. Let con
gress proceed to reckon.-New York

FOOD SHORTAGE IN GERMANY
AND AUSTRIA.

The reports of food shortages in
Germany have been given space in
the dispatches. for three years But
Germany managed to live some
how and feed its colossal army be-
sides There has been a conviction
for. some time that reports Of food
shortage were being sent out from
Germany for the purpose Of deceiv-
ing the outside in the hope of dull
ing war activity, especially in Amer
lea. At the present time there are
reports of further reduction in food
rations, but these late reports seem
20 be based upon facts. And there
is reason for such a conclusion. The
productivity Of the central powers
labor and the disturbance of the
war. They have always depended
upon outside aid in feeding their
people. American embargoes on
foodstuffs to the European neutrals
has undoubtedly had its effect on
Germany'ss meat supply. Those
meat exports to Germany have fall
en- off. The food supplies that the
Ukraine was expected to furnish are
admittedly far below the. calcula-
tons because the Ukrainians will
not yield to the demands of Prussia
and in some sections are burning
grain rather than permitting it to
be exported. We may expect fire,
quent reports now of desperate food
conditions in Germany and Austria,
and such as come through Washing
ton and London and Paris may be
taken more seriously than those
which Prussian news bureaus sent
out year ago for the purpose Of
camouflage and deception.
