Hitting Corporations

l
 Some of the members of Congress frankly would like to deal solar plexus blow to the corporations of the country in the form of a confiscatory income and excess profits tax. Representative Little republican, of Kansas, says, for instance, that any one who wants over $1o0,0O0 to
 live on these days lis not good citi- zen.,' The argument is that no one can sleep in more than one bed at times nor eat more than one meal at time, all of which is true. The men and wom- eh who live most extravagantly cannot spend more than the income on S5vt ~ What then becomes of the balance? It goes into enterprises that make the eoua- try strong and rich. For years it has been going into enormous industr a' plants-the very plants that have made the United States strong industria. ii;a ton and a very rich nation, the kind ni nation that can push back the Ger mans industrially. financially and in military sense. Corporations are not in animate organizations that can be hi

American Red Cross, during April of the present year. There was something like eighteen volunteers who took the course, and thereby perfected them selves in social work.
 The home service was organized. two paid secretaries were secured, with necessary office equipment, and the work was begun. About three months ago we had approximately 200 cases, now there are-nearly 800 cases, ana through illness, removals and other causes, the workers have been reduced so there are now only about nine work CTS. With our present field we should have about 50 workers, as these fami- lies must be visited at regular stated intervals, their necessities looked after. and much other detail work to do.

Failure of the Zone System

frOm LeSile $.
 Zone The zone postal system is pro- ducing exactly the result the publishers had predicted. Increased prices of news papers and magazines is the first result. A second result, which 1ill be more ap- parent as time goes on, is reduction of income to the government. When a price is advanced beyond all reason the ef- feet is so to curtail use as to reduce income. This has already shown itself in decreased revenue from postal cards since the price has been qoubled. in England, penny letter postage. one of the great triumphs of peace, succumbed to the demands of war on June 2. England
 deplores even a temporary suspension of
 the cheap rate, because it is realized
 that the penny stamp held together the
 scattered bonds of kinship and acquaint-
 ance throughout the far-flung British em-
 pire just as in the United States the
 low-cost newspaper and magazine have
 been the most powerful influence in driv-
 ing out sectionalism. The experience oi President K. G. Bell of the Southern
 Newspaper Publishers association is typ ical of how the new law is working out. Mir. Bell says it cost his office $4 to determine what part of his paper was subject to penalty postage for the ad- vertising section, that government clerks put in $S worth of time to verify the re- port, and that after this SIP expendituie is found the government was entitled to l A .O4 additional revenue! The zone postal law is a revival of a system abolished | when Abraham Lincoln was PresideMt. | Mir Wilson, when governor of New Jer- tsey, showed the impropricty of again adopting it, as did also Mi. Hughes d. 1 chairman of the postal Investigating com" mission in 1911. If this Congress doesn't realize the wisdom of repeating the zone flaw the next Congress will.

NURSES URGED ID
 COMPLETE TRAINING
Miss MacLean Writes to the Young Women in Train
 ing for Nurses

In view of some misunderstanding among nurses in training in regard to the school of nursing established by the war department, Miss Helen MacLean, head nurse of the McAdory infirmary and secretary and treasurer of the state examining board for nurses, has issued an open letter on the subject.
 Miss MacLean points out the status of young women who have been in civil hos pital schools, and who make application for the army school. She strongly ad- entire course of nursing as a patriotic duty Her letter follows:
 Birmingham, Ala, August 2s, 191S "To the Young Ladies Contemplating
 Taking up the Profession of Nursing:
 There has been a great deal of mis- understanding among nurses in training in regard to the army school of nursing, Nurses who have spent any time in aiming in civil hospitals should re- main there. This is the patriotic thing to do at least, but in the event that they are not getting the desirable in struction they might be excused for mak- ing change.
 'In a recent letter from the dean ot the army school of nursing, Miss Anna lw Goodrich, there Is this statement We are considering the applications of candidates who have been in the civl hospital schools and have left some time ago for reasons which the superintenf- ent of the school considers would justify our accepting them in our school. In nc case. however, do we consider these stu dents without writing at once to tht | former school of nursing.
 "She also writes: If candidates seve their connections from civil schools the, may have to wait quite sometime befoT' 1 they enter the army school of nursing | which in the end will delay their admis sion to the military service.
 Tt seems to me that any young lad. | who has spent 12 months or more in hospital and has been given the prope course of instruction, should be inter ested enough in the hospital in which sh | is making her home to remain for the en tire course The spirit of the class shoul be to make the school in which the have started become factor in tn
 worlds salvation rather than divide an enter school that has already estan lished itself for service.
 Let us all be willing to do our bi in the ways which are close at han and thus serve our country best. Yer
 sincerely,

Rome, August 31.-(Special)-On the subject of Americas participation in' the war, Gen. Riccotti Garibaldi has written a special message to the New York Herald. found him with his son, Gen Peppino Garibaldi, just back from the Rheims front, where he commands the Italian storm troops, who covered themselves with glory in the recent fighting. General Riccotti, at my re- quest for message to the Herald. i'm mediately went to his desk and wrote it in English. Here it is:
 'I have been asked to give an opinion of the probable results and the effects of American participation in the great war. The answer is not difficult to find
 "As a direct result of Americas par ticipation the duration of the war will be much shortened, whereas, owing to the placid slowness of our military leaders, it threatened to be prolonged for a long time

 LARGE CLASS WANTED
 It is very much hoped that we can have a large class, and deveIope suf- ficient workers to take care of the sit uation in Jefferson county. We have home service representatives in most of the towns iri the county, and it is earnestly desired that each of these arrange to take this course.
 It is desired that volunteers enlist who are able to give all of their time, but the necessity of workers is so great, that we would urge all who can give even portion of their time, or certain days each week, enlist in this course.
 As soon as details can be arranged, due publication will be made, and all information as to the time and place of holding the course, together with cost of the course will be given.
