of us in military preparations. We are
facing an enemy whose military estab-
lishment has been so highly developed
that 1t brought on the war. To carry
on our part successfully and bring the
war to a speedy conclusion, billions
have been and will be spent. The ag-
gregate total of the two Liberty loans
has defied our comprehension. Yet
this amount, in proportion to our
wealth and resources, does not equal
the burden placed upon us in the pre-
vious wars.
In the Revolutionary war the Cont
mental congress was forced to depend
upon credit bills and acquisitions
drawn against the colonies. Our first
interior war loan was made in 1875.
It amounted to about $4,000. A year
later second loan Of $5,000,000 was
authorized, but only $3,7S7,000 was
subscribed. Then paper money was
issued and by the end of 1779 congress
had authorized $200,000,000. An equal
amount was paid by the various states.
Continental bills of credit deprecated
90 per cent in value. Robert Morris
came to the assistance of the govern
ment and by his great ability financed
the war. He even made personal
loans.
In the Civil war the financial diff
culties were also great. The country
was suffering from a business depres-
sion when hostllities began. One Of
the first efforts to raise capital was
an issue of $150,000,000 of legal ten
der notes, and bond issue of $780,
100000. The bonds bore interest at
per cent and were issued in popular
denominations of from $50 up. AS in
the Revolutionary war, financial gen.
JUS appeared in the person of Jay
Cooke, who was extremely active in
making the loan success. He adver-
tlsed extensively and employed 1850
agents. The same year congress is
sued another $150,O00,OOO in treasury
notes. In all, the aggregate amount
of government loans during the Civil
war was $4,000, 100000. About 6 per
cent was paid on most of the loan.
OSIldlliy, We are hON III an lllllnlte-
ly better position to finance the pres
ent war. Where the interest rate was
per cent on the first Civil war loan
the initial rate on the first Liberty
loan was 31A per cent. Our wealth is
many times greater In proportion to
the population than in 1861. We can
afford to, and will, push this war vigor-
ously to successful conclusion. Any
strong nation that hopes to endure
strong cannot shirk its duty.

Financing Of Past
Present War Taxes Mild In
COmparisOnJ Nations at War
Must Make Sacrifices
By S. W. STRAUS
prominent New York and Chicago Bsnker)


To you who are hit by the new war
tax legislation read the following and
cease grumbling:
BY Sydney Smith, an Englishman
Tin 1879.
1.-THE school boy whips his taxed
top; the beardless youth manages his
taxed horse, with taxed bride, on a
taxed road; and the dying English
man, pouring his medicine which has
paid z per cent in spoon that has
paid 20 per cent, makes his will on
an aS stamp and expires in the arms
Of an apothecary who has paid a IL
cense of 9100 for the privilege of put
ting him to death. His whole proper
ty is then Immediately taxed up 10
per cent. Besides the probate, large
fees are demanded for burying him in
the chancel. His virtues are handed
down to posterity on taxed marble, and
he will then be gathered to his fathers
to be taxed no more"
In England at that time there were
taxes levied on lands, houses, horses,
Ndlllu "oo
also an income tax. During the seven
teenth century England was as rabid
in its policy of tariff production as 1t
is now in favor of free trade.
In ancient Athens taxes were very
high. So Jealous were the Athenians
i'm the collection of revenues, that a
public debtor could, ten days after a
judgment was obtained. be condemned
and banlshed forever from public af-
fairs. The children and grandchildren
then became responsible. Slaves were
employed to take care of private ac-
counts, because If the government sus-
pected that a citizen was not making
a truthful statement to the tax author
tiles, the slaves could be tortured to
give evidence of their masters affairs.
Athens extensive taxes were largely
due to the immense officialdom. Enor-
nous numbers of public officials were
dependent upon the government. There
we're public physicians, artists, pro-
fessors. The Athenians were very fond
of holding great bnnquets and festi-
walls, the expenses of which were paid
out of the public purse. At religious
gatherings as many as three hundred
cattle would be sacrificed and distrib-
uted to the people. A public speaker
would be paid for his efforts In ora
tory, and the people paid for listening.
Today; the problem of raising money
for government expenditures occupies
the time of some of the keenest finan-
cial brains OF the country. We are now
participating In the greatest war Of
history. We are fighting side by side

We consider ourselves very much
advanced In our control of food prices.
1t might do us some good to look back
little and see what the ancient Ori-
entails did in this regard thousands of
years ago.
The Brahmanlc and Rabbinical laws
fully equal the measures we have
adopted. For example, besides seeing
that not too much was charged for
food or other articles, the former law
provided penalty for selling under
standard price. Rabbinical law lin
tied storekeepers' profits to 10 % per
cent.
Economic history-the story of
banking and Observation-Disclosures that
some Of our so-called modern insti-
tuuons" are in reality as old as the
hills. Some economists claim that the
division of labor"-that is, the spe-
clalizing by one individual in single
operation in manufacturing-iss some
thing comparatively new and did not
exist to any extent prior to the eight
eenth century. But against this we
have the statement made by someone
that caste in India is division of
labor gone to seed"
And the socialists dream Of an ideal
state is also nothing new. Plato once
proposed an elaborate plan for new
state. He figured 1t out very carefully
and decided to limit the population TO
5,040. If the number of inhabitants
ran over that amount colonies were TO
be established; if below, prizes were
to be offered to stimulate its increase.
Another suggestion of Plato's was that
the children were to be the property
of the state and common to all. In
Sparta everyone ate at common
table. No payments of money were
required and the products of all were
shared by everyone.
Further, in Greece factories of con-
siderable size existed. Some employed
hundreds of workmen. A factory
would be devoted to the exclusive pro-
duction of one article, such as tunic.
Most of the labor was performed by
slaves. Even the most humble citi-
zens of Athens had at least one slave.
They were sent to the river to drink

PEACE PARLEYS REPORTED OFF
Berlin Announces That Negotiations
With Russ Are Suspended.

London-Official statements issued
at Berlin Sunday and forwarded by
the Zurich correspondent of the Elk

that because of the Russian request
to transfer the peace pour parleys from
Brest Litovsk to Stockholm, the cen.
trail powers had temporarily suspended

An armistice has been declared In

with the horses and were branded on
the forehead.
Contracts In Athens were bound In
two ways. One method was the In
formal handshake and the other was
the formal contract where something
themselves, but this was stopped I'M
der the laws of Scion.
Were the Athenians familiar with
apartment houses? 1t seems so. Wit
ness the following statement by we'll
known French economist: people
built for speculation sort of Inn,
the apartments of which were let to
strangers whom politics or commerce
attracted to Athens, and who had no
right of citizenship there" Rentals
In Athens amounted to about S1s per
cent of the capital invested In the
property.
In the claim of Germany that she
has secured control Of the seas through
the destruction Of shipping, by sub
marines, we have a parallel case in
the history of Rome. The Romans
were never fond of going to sea and
had peculiar horror of commerce.
In Carthage they destroyed 500 YES
sells. Augustus, who brought victory
in a naval battle at Actium, greatly
feared water. 1t was through their
wholesale destruction of ships that the
Romans gained control of the sea.
Ancient Rome faced the same prob
lem we do in the congestion of cities
and neglect of agriculture. Virgil
lamented this tendency and contrasted
the artificialities of city life and the
simple pleasures of rural living.
Rome, too, had "big business" The
great bulk of her commercial and fl
nancial affairs were in the hands Of
the Equities" or Roman knights. The
entire industrial fabric was dependent
on them. Roman "big business" just
like that of today, was not immune
from attack. 1t was constantly being
assailed and accused of graft.
The Romans even used checks about
the same as we do today.
Today we boast of our world fairs,
But Europe, during medieval times,
was not unfamiliar with fairs fully
equal to ours. They were really an
economic necessity, as people were at
tracted from far and near, and ex-
change of products from every part of
the world was facilitated. The largest
fairs were held at Novgorod, in Rus
STA, Leipzig, in Germany, and Stour-
bridge, England. An English fair at
st. Giles covered an area of seven
miles and lasted sixteen days.
Even in this day who has heard
of a bank with 1900 branches? Such
an institution existed In medieval
times in the Knights Templar They
conducted a general banking business
and maintained 5000 branches.

HARVEST OF PACIFIC KEEP
Government-Ylelds Potash, Am
monla and Iodine.

The production of potash in the
United States is rapidly increasing, ac-
cording to figures given out by the
United States geological survey.
In the first six months of this year, a
total OF 14,023 commercial units OF
available or water soluble potash was
produced and sold for $5,S64, 039 at the
point of shipment. OF this about half
came from the natural salts or brines,
the alkali lakes of Nebraka giving
about one-third of the entire prOduc-
ton. From kelp 81, 34S,095 worth was
obtained.
Potash is sold by the unit, unit
measuring per cent of potash In ton
of material as marketed, that is to say,
a product carrying % per cent may be
sold at "a unit, which would be 500
q ton for the material marketed.
The production of 1917, II is stated,
will probably be In excess of $4,000
tons, or two and half times that of
1915. But this is only 10 per cent OF
the average normal yearly consump-
ton of the country. Before the war
potash could be bought for $40 ton,
but since its importation from Ger
many ceased II has risen to $3.50 ton.
G. c. Hopkins. in describing the har-
vesting of the gigantic kelp of the Pa
cific, says that this yields not only
potash, but ammonia and iodine, while
the gas generated in the process is
used to help the distillatlOn. The
United States department of agricul-
ture is harvesting the kelp with float
ing moving machines.
