interrupted by Congressman Hicks OF
New York, who inquired of the major

week or two previous. when he said
congress ought to adjourn by July l.
If what saw in New York paper
today is true replied Kitchin. Saying
that we shall have to bring in new
revenue BILL we shall probably get
away fom here in time to cast a vote.

Does the New York paper control
the situation?" asked Congressman
Garner of Texas.
No." replied Ntchin; "the gentle
man must have been sleeping when l
made my remark, for I said If it is
true"
Has the administration said any
thing to the chairman of the commit
tee on ways and means about a rev.
enue bill this session." continued Gar
ner.
To Kitchin's reply of "No." Garner
suggested that it was not likely that
the need of a revenue bill would be
told to a newspaper before informa-
ton was conveyed to the man who
would prepare the bill, and Kitchin re-
piled: 81 have known some admins

paper men and tell them what ought
to be done long before any member Of
congress was told"

Move Breweries to Mexico
Southern Nation Plans to Compete for World
Beer Business After War.

Southern Nation Plans to Compete for World
Beer Business After War.
From The st. Louis Times.
Manuel F. Palacio industrial representative of
the governor of Coahuila, and owner Of the
Gently organized Continental Brewing company
at Santillo Mexico, in st. Louis the other
day and tried to induce large American breweries
to remove their plants to Mexico in the event that
prohibition is carried in this country.
He had a conference with August A. Busch
president Of the Anheuser- Busch Brewing com
pany. and other important officials of the brew
ing companies of this city.
In a statement Mr. Palacio said there was an
abundance Of coal and all kinds of material
in the state of Coahuila, and Gustavo Aspinosa
Mireles governor of Coahuila, has offered every
concession to American interests to locate in
Mexico in the event that prohibition comes. At
the present time much strong drink is consumed
in Mexico and it is the object of the breweries Of
Mexico to manufacture beer in larger quantities
and to compete for a world business after the
war.
After the conference with the brewery officials
Mr.. Palacio departed for Detroit, where he was
to have conference with Henry Ford in effort
to have him erect a tractor plant in Santillo. He
will also visit New York and Washington and
confer with officials there relative to the ship
ment of machinery from this country to Mexico
for new industries which being planned to be
established there.

DO WE ASK TOO MUCH9

Is it expecting too much to ask our ex-
empted attorney general and the state tax
commission to quit playing politics and
.berating Big Business and the Kept Press
long enough to attend to their duties9
The Fargo city commission has voted
$500 to cover the cost of an investigation
of the books Of the heat and power COM
pany, with a view to modifying, at least,
the increased rates on gas and electricity
It has asked the attorney general and the
tax commission to conduct the hearing be-
fore the state railroad commission.
Two months have passed, and so far as
the people of Fargo know, no action has
been taken.
Meanwhile the consumers of Fargo are
paying the new rates which may be just or
unjust. They might welcome a smaller
supply Of political gas, and more liberal
and less expensive supply of coal gas.

Let us "calmly" weigh everything
which today separates the belligerent par
ties.
Belgium, Poland, Armenia, Alsace and
Lorraine, devastated France, the subma-
rine bombed hospitals, murdered nurses,
slaughter of civilians, and violation Of
every law Of humanity.
Americas aims have not changed since
she entered the war; they will not change.
They do not need to be modified on the
basis Of the war map, for America is fight
ing for principles not territory. She is
fighting for justice, not conquest Aus
tria and Germany are at liberty to examine
Americas views without calm discus
sion of any kind. They have been set forth
repeatedly by President Wilson and in
dorsed by the Allied governments. They
have been published in newspapers and in
pamphlet form. They are readily avail
able to anyone who wants to study them.
When Germany and Austria are willing to
accept them, we can get as "close to-
gether" as we care to be with Austria and
Germany.
THE enemy group can, If 1t wishes. con-
vince itself that In all questions of Justice
and humanity, and of future International
relations, that it will encounter on the part
of our group no opposition, and will be in
line with our existing progressive aspira-
tons"
The only assurance, of course, of leu
ton justice and humanity" in interna-
tional relations is what is furnished by his
tory. Where were justice and humanity
when Austria broke with Serbia? Then
was the time to think of international re-
lations.
Where were justice and humanity in the
Brest-ldtovsk peace treaty? If that is the
only assurance Of what may be expected
in future international relations with the
Hun, every Frenchman, every Briton,
every Italian and every American would
fight to the last man, the last dollar and
the last gun.
The time for "calm discussion was in
1914. There can be no "calm discussion
with Germany and Austria now. You
don't calmly discuss" return of the loot
with the burglar who has entered your
house, violated your wife, murdered your
children, and stolen your purse. When YOU
get him in your power, you first force him
to make restitution so far as is possible,
and then consider his punishment.

NO TIME no "sELL sHoRT''

Amy man who sells the United States
short for more than year, is fool'' was
the dictum Of the late j. Pierpont Morgan.
q He made hundreds of millions of dollars
by his persistent optimism regarding the
future of America-plus some other more

that the value Of the eight leading crops in

What 8 Billion Dollars Means

From a Bulletin Of the Bureau of Internal Reve-
To collect within few months $sooO,OoooOo is
the task confronting the bureau of internal reve-
nue.. This is the amount the new revenue bill
now being framed is expected to yield 1t is diff
ficult to realize the immensely Of this sum and
yet $8000,o000oO Is less than one-sixth of the
annual income of the United States. If divided
according to population 1t would mean a per
capita tax of $76.76 more than 1896 per family
The amount Of money in circulation August /,
1918, among population of 100, 900 was 1924
per capita.
The total value of all crops on American farms
in 1910, the last census year, was $4,000 600 000
The total value of all live stock on farms Janu-
airy J. 1870 was slightly less than 100000 900.
In one year, therefore, the taxpayers are called
upon to pay more than the aggregate value of all
farm crops in the United States in 1910, plus the
value of all farm animals.
The tax amounts to practically one third of
the total value of manufactured products as re-
ported to the census bureau in 1914--$24,246-
4S5,000. The value added to raw materials by
manufacture, which represents the wealth pro-
duced by manufacturing in 1914 $685.
$4,000 or only 2S4 per cent more than the pro-
posed tax levy.
These figures are represented not with the
view OF preparing the American people for heavy
sacrifices. but to bring home to them sense of
their responsibility in the way of necessary econ
omies. The new revenue bill is being drawn in a
manner to impose the least burden possible
Every man will be assessed according to his in

THE NEW REGIsTRANTs.

Some 100000 more Americans, tonight
are in possession of cards which certify
that they have registered under the new
draft law.
To some the card is a treasured certifi-
cate, stating that they have reached man g
estate and are considered old enough to win
fame and glory on the battlefield.
To some it carries the welcome news that
they are not "too old to fight, but may
still be classed among the defenders of the
republic.
To a few, the card may be a thing Of
terror, bringing thoughts of danger,
wounds or death, but this class is almost
negligible, we feel.
To all of US, the card brings new prob
lems-problems which each must settle for
himself within the next few days.
The Forum is firmly convinced that the
number Of men who are stretching their
consciences to forsake home duties and go,
will exceed the number who will compro-
mise with their conscience and try to evade
the draft.
We believe that there is greater danger
of men who are vitality needed at home,
lodging their duties, tossing home cares
to the winds, and donning khaki, than there
is of men who should 60 trying to evade
the call.
No normal, average American man, no
matter what his age, is content to be out of
this war now. 1t is too big a thing; too
vast too enthralling It's appeal to the
average man is irresistible. The millions
who have gone proved they were not cow
5ards or slackers. The millions yet at home
are no different. The same blood is in
their veins. They are made of the same
stuff Few of them face the prospect Of
remaining out of it with any degree of en-
thusiasm. Everything tugs the other way
patriotism, the call of duty, the call of
adventure, the desire to be part Of it,
however small.
No, it isn't Stacking we fear. It is too
much eagerness to get into the ranks. You
can't take 100000 or even 100000 men
between the ages of 81 and 46 out of the
business life of the country and expect to
see the wheels keep moving as they did be-
fore. Think Of the men who are the lead
ers Of affairs in Fargo and estimate the
percentage of them who are between these
ages.
This is the problem which every man
must solve for himself in the next few days.
Would / be Of more use to the government
here or in France2 Can I leave my de-
pendents without running the risk of
them becoming subjects for charity, or
without submitting them to undue hard
ships?
The man who can write on his question
naires "I claim no deferred classified
ton" is not to be viewed as among the
we-who- are-about-t o-die-salute- class
or set upon pedestal. He is to be envied
provided he can go with a clear conscience.
He has found something worth undivided
allegiance; a cause to call forth the best
effort that is in him something worth dy-
ing for.
