Sugar Briefs by Food.
 Administrator

The present household sugar ra- tion-with little chance of increase
 -is two pounds month in Annex ica, two pounds in England, one and one-half pounds in France, and one pounds in Italy.
 Sugar bowls have been banished from American dining cars-a tray eler is served his portion of sugar and no more.
 Restaurants and hotels are re- stricted to two pounds of sugar for every ninety meals served. This i'm cludes sugar for kitchen as well as table use.
 Almost TO per cent of all the su- gar consumed in this country Is used in the households. So it is up to the women to make the sugar go around.
 Out of the last harvest the Ameri can people, by abstinence. saved 140.000,o ,o00 bushels of wheat to feed the hungry Allied nations; and these same people are going to stay right on the sugar job and see it through.

excess profits
Here are two very eminent and
well-!nformed men whose ideas OF
financing the country are dlametri-
cally opposed,
Kitchen Is Plausible.
Mr. Kitchen says that to pass a
revenue bin at this time will kesp
all the 435 congressman in Wash
lngton. on the other hand he says
that II 1t is decided not to pass a
revenue bill at this time, all these
4S5 congressman and SO senators
Will be home and every one OF them
Will be in the campaign, boosting
for the sale of the Liberty bonds,
ana as every one OF the total Of
$50 congressman and 80 senators
VIII nave opponents in the fall cleo
lions, there will be a total of 934
able men, in every district in the
United States, boosting for the bonds
at a time when the men who pay
the taxes are not confronted with
an early assessment of one of the
largest revenue bills ever framed
and put into operation.
Mr.. Kitchen has herein furnished
very commendabie excuse for con-
gress adtourning July ], So the mem
hers can go home, and "boost bonds. ="
Mr.. Kitchen has furnished the ex-
9lse the members OF congress have
been looking for--and IL is an excuse
based solely on patriotism. and for
the good OF the financial end OF the
government. and it Is certainly .meri-
torious, and has considerable faVora-
BILE argumentative qualities
The real argument, however
stripped Of all camouflage, for not
enacting 4 revenue bill at this time.
Is because the congressman do not
want to delay getting out home and
fixing up their political fences. In
many states direct primaries will be
held in July and August--some states
sooner than that--South Dako
holds its primary this week
And there is another reason: The
members of congress are afraid to
meet their constituents this fall on
the record of this years taxes. or on
the new taxes which must be larger,
perhaps total of eight billions OF
the amount of the
last revenue bill.
There are other arguments in IA
vor OF not passing the revenue bill
at this time. According to state
ment made in the open by Mr.. Kit
chen. Mr. McAdoo cannot furnish
practical reason for one. II is con-
tended that the government already
has more money than can be spent;
Tulsa daily world. [volume] (Tulsa, Indian Territory [Okla.]) 1905-1919, 1918-05-31

and at the same time II has plenty
OF unissued bonds. which should be
placed on the market very soon
within the next three or four months
1t Is set out that IL Is idle TO tax the
people to an extent that the produc-
tiveness Of the country his year can
not pay.
However conservativcs7-a few
who can dismiss politics. claim that
the proportion OF bonds and taxes
should not be settled upon the per-
sonal or political convenience Of con-
gress, and that this years experience
throws no light whatever on next
years expenditures.
There is no question that the first
half OF next year will require more
money than the entire twelve monthE
this year. The army, the shipping
expense for the next year, the navy,
the airplane--all greatly enlarged
will require sums of money not yet
dreamed of; and there Is no argu-
ment that the money should not
be provided there is no sane oppo-
sltlon to providing the money-thd
only question Is whether means for
provision should be made now or
later.
The convenience of the people and
the convenience of the treasury
should be considered as well as the
convenience of congress. who are
facing a campaign. Business Of the
country on which taxes will have to
be collected, is going on, and busi-
ness now has no idea of how much
that business viii be taxed Bust
ness cannot at this time keep aC-
counts according to the tax laws, be
cause the tax laws are not known.
II is impossible for business 10 trans

financial consideration, unless the
taxes are enacted before the taxes
fall due. The whole business of the
country at this time is working blind

duct their business accordingly. Busi-
ness fears fixed burdens less than II
does Uncertain burdens, and there is
some good logic in Mr.. McAdoo's
viewpoint.
There is no question that the

Relief from, Eczema

Don't worry about eczema or other

Zemo generally removes pimples,
blackheads blotches, eczema and ring
