! For the steadying and facilitation | 1 of our own domestic business read | tustments nothing Is more important 1 | than the immediate determination of 1 the taxes that are to be levied for i 1913, 1919 and 1920. As much of the burden of taxation must be lifted from business aS sound methods or financing the Government will per init, and those who conduct the great essential industries of the country must be told as exactly as possible what obligations to the Government they will be expected to meet in the yeara immediately ahead or them. It will be a serious consequence to the country to delay removing all un- certainties in this matter a single day longer than the right processes of de- bate justify. It is Idle to talk of suc- cessful and confident business recon struct1on before those uncertainties are resolved.
 If the war had continued it would have been necessary to raise at least eight billion dollars by taxation, pay able in the year 1919; but the war has ended, and I am agreed with the Sec retary ot the Treasury that it will be safe to reduce the amount to six bil- Y lions. An immediate rapid decline in the expenses of the Government is not to be booked for. Contracts made for war supplies will, indeed, be rap idly cancelled an1 !iquidated, but their immediate nquiGation wilt make heavy drains on the Treasury for the months just ahead of us. The maintenance of our forces on the other side of the sea is still necessary. A considerable proportion of those forces must re- main in Europe durig the period pt occupation, and those which are brought home will be transported and demobiHZed at heavy expense for months to come. The interest on our war debt must of course be paid and provisions made for the retirement o1 the obligations of the Government which represent 1t. But these de- mands will Of course fall much below what a continuation of military opera tions would have entailed, and six billions should suffice to supply 8 sound foundation for the financial operations of the year.
 Financing of Debt.
 I entirely concur with the Secretary of the Treasury in recommending tha' the two billions needed in addition tC the four billions provided by existing law be obtained from the profits whicI have accrued and shall accrue iron war contract and distinctively wa, business, but that these taxes be con fined to the war profits accruing il 1918, or in 1919 from business originat ing in war contracts. I urge your ac ceptance of his recommendation tha provision be made now, not subse quently, that the taxes to be paid il 1920 should be reduced from six t four billions. Any arrangements les definite than these would add ele ments of doubt and confusion to tn critical period of industrial readjust ment through which ''- untry mus now immediately pass, and which n true friend of the nations essenti; business interests can afford to be rt sponsible for creating or prolongini Clearly determined conditions, clearl and simply charted, are indispensab to the economic revival and rapid il

ing school will occupy the whole build
ing now that the school of Agriculture

installed. This with the improved Ii
brary conditions will greatly increase
the efficiency of the school.
The Practice school will open Mon
day, Sept. 9th. Miss Edith Hamacker
will have charge of the practice school

teach Agriculture and Science. Miss
Anna X. Hanson, who has had seven

Dear Kate eVtss
War has come our way since l
wrote you last. We have been in the
| big battle. I was down with Trench
Fever and evacuated to the rear be-
fore the big fight started in good, but
as ever fortunate, | was back into 1t

still moving on.
The hills potted with the CHASTITY
| mine holes are sure wonderful
sight, but you cannot imagine how it
was to walk through when the pots
were being made.
1t is a great feeling to be lifted
| off your feet by an explosion and set
down on the opposite side of the
road only to be carried back the same
way. In the papers you always read,
| before the bombardment, after the
bombardment, but remember that in
between is the word always missing,
| but to those who have stood by and
walked through. it, unforgetible is the
one dreadful word COMMANDMENTS
| Don't lose it. I'll tell you what it
means some day to count seconds be-
| tween shell bursts and to see
| how many men can run through

comes. Can you imagine rolling
a body over so that the boys
behind won't step on the poor fellow,
or to have a fellow sitting with his
back to a trench getting 155, (about
six inch) shell right in his lap. All
| we found was his helmet about 1000
| yards away.

WINS BIG PRIZE

Miss Anne G. Rankin, teacher Of
Domestic Science in the Wausau High
school, recently won the first prize in
the Tribune's war time recipe contest.
Her original recipe for potato rolls
won the prize of $500. Besides this
amount it also brought her $40
prize, as the holders of $40 prizes were
the only ones allowed to enter the
contest for the big prizes. Miss Ran
kin has been deeply interested in
wheat flour substitutes, and especially
potato and potato flour in place of
wheat flour in breads. 1t was neces-
sary that the recipe winning the
prize complied with all rules of the
u. S. food administrator, saving wheat,
meat, fat and sugar, also that it was
an economical, nourishing and pala-
table recipe. Miss Rankin's recipe
answered all qualifications. The
judges were Miss Eddington, the Tri-
bune cooking expert; Harry A. Wheel
er, food administrator for Illinois; and
MRS. Joseph Coleman of the National
Council of Defense. There were also
other prizes.

age limits of Is to 45 should be
adopted for the new man power bill
as recommended by Secretary Baker
and the general staff. Every amend

selves in the draft by adopting with
cheer an amendment by Representa-
tive Gregg of Texas to make every
legislative and executive official OF the
United States government and OF the
state governments liable to service.
An amendment to take in all aliens
who are subjects of any of the coun-
tries associated with this country in
the war also was adopted.
