FINANCING OUR FUTURE

This country has adopted q plan for
the financing Of the war that has been
adopted after seeing the mistakes that
the nations of Europe have made n
their financial plans. II Is said that
England through her taxation is able
TO pay interest on the money she has
borrowed and a small part Of the prin.
cipal and OF Germany it is also said
that she IS not even able TO pay the
interest While the United States is
paying almost entirely It's running ex.
penses through taxation. Then there
is another angle 10 war financing that
we are escaping by the methods we are
using. Great Britain. al the end OF the
Napoleanic wars made a blanket bond
issue bearing no date. 10 replace pre-
ceding issues. These were sold large
~ 10 the wealthy classes, and they
and their descendants have been draw
ing income in the shape Of interest
which has been paid by the rest Of the
population OF that country. II Is still
a continuing expense.
In our financing the sale OF Liberty
Bonds Is being distributed very widely
The small bond and the war savings
stamps put the purchase of govern
ment securities within the reach Of all
the people. And il surely is 10 the in,
terest of every man, woman and child
in the United States TO buy as many
of these securities as possible, thus al
lowing everyone TO share in the proper
tion of their income which later vii
have TO be paid out in taxes 10 enable
the government to meet its obligations
Instead of the large majority of tbs
people paying incomes TO a small
minority through taxation, the United
States will have the majority OF tn
people paying bond dividends to tn
majority. BY this method the heavies
taxation falls on the wealthy, who ar
the minority. and the majority re
ceives the greater share of the div
dends, while still paying its share o
the necessary taxation.

one or two incipient fires were

forms of carelessness.
There is a great deal OF difference
between the starting out wages and

young men to work on the farm for
fifty 10 sixty dollars a month and
board. Is il because help of all kinds
is more efficient today than it was
thirty or forty years ago or has the dol
lar deprecated in value? One thing is
sure, social and recreation demands
have increased TO such an extent that
il requires more money TO keep up the

ANOTHER CALL FOR MEN

Again the call has gone forth and
the young men Of the nation will as
semble TO prepare another army to SUP
port freedom and put down ruthless
ness. The first contingent OF the sec
ond call will go into camp the last of
this month. Bookings county is pre-
pared and we publish the names of the
men who will be our first detachment.
1t is very evident from the news
given out by the war department that
all care will be exercised TO only call
the men who can be best spared. The
following statements made by Provost
Marshal General Crowder are certain
ly reassuring to the people of the agri-
cultural sections of the country.
Local boards will be directed to fill
their quotas in the order of liability of
men in class one as determined by the
national drawing, except that where it
is shown that a registrant is complete
ly and ~assiduously engaged in the
planting, cultivation or reaping or a
crop his call to the colors shall be de-
.ferred to the foot CT the quota of his
board as long as he continues to be so
engaged" says the provost marshal
generals statement"
ITO sum up, 1t may be said that
there will be no sudden withdrawal Of
great numbers of men from the ranks
OF industry and agriculture during the
coming summer but that men will be
drawn In relatively small groups
throughout the year in such a way as
to create the least possible interfer-
ence with industry and agriculture.
Men in deferred classes as well as men
in class one will be selected in small
numbers either in the q Of their

BEATING THE GERMANS

The Churchman: We can beat the
Germans because We are beating
them. When fighting with a small
nation like Serbia or Belgium, or a
betrayed nation like Russia or Italy,
they win battles. but We are winning
the war. And that is what counts.
Germany, after forty years of prep
a~ration, was at the height of her pow
er in 1914, and she has been going
down hill ever since. Great Britain
and France. taken unawares, We're at
the lowest level of their Importance.
Combined as they are today. with
their forces thoroughly developed and
ready, and with all the enormous re-
sources of this country to our last dol
lar and our last man enlisted in their
aid, they are at the summit of their
military possibilities. There has new
er been an hour when their ultimate
success has been so Well assured.
Today England alone has 1000 fac.
tories turning out munitions, and ev-
cry week she is producing 1900 tons
of projectiles. In two years, from
1915 to 1917. her capacity in the man
u~facture of high explosives increased
so that last October it was twenty-five
times as great as it was two years
before.
All they have to do is to hold their
own a little longer, and every day Of
waiting renders more certain the rout
Of their enemies; for, while time is
working for their triumph. it is grind
ing mills of God against their foes.
The stars in their courses are fighting
against Sisera. And Sisera knows it.
Hence his careless and noisy clamor-
ings after peace. What think you?
Are the swashbuckling Germans a
people to cry for peace unless they
see calamity in front of them? Has

Stops Steamers of Less
Than $500 Dead Weight
Taking Lonq Voyaues

The shipping board has directed
that, beginning today. no American
steamer of less than $500 dead-weight
tons be permitted to clear for a trans
atlantic voyage or to engage in other long
voyage trades
This ruling has been adopted" it was
announced, "as a measure of conservation
and economical use of tonnage. since, in
the boards judgment, steamers of small
tonnage are uneconomical and unsafe in
the trades in question. Steamers so ex-
cluded will be employed in the coastwise,
West Indies or other appropriate serv-
ices.''
To obtain a further measure sof control
over ships of less than $500 tons and over
sailing ships. the shipping board is
contemplating requisitioning all Amer
lean tonnage not already taken over. It
has Communicated all steamers of more
than $500 tons.
One purpose of the order is to effect
further control over transatlantic freight
rates. Vessels that were Communicated
were turned back to operators on definite
charter rates. and the freight rate they
charge is controlled, but the smaller ships
have charged all they could obtain. In
many instances, it was declared, these
rates have been exorbitant.
The smaller ships limited to coastwise
and nearby trades will be used to re-
lease more ships for, transporting men
and materials to Europe.

URGES GASLESS DAYS FOR
AUTOISTS IN w. S. S. CAMPAIGN

Institution of gasless days for pleas
ure cars is suggested in letter sent by
William Guggenheim of New York.
member of the board of trustees of the
American Defense Society, to the
American Automobile Association.
The suggestion is advanced as a prac-
tical and patriotic plan to boost sales
OF war savings and thrift stamps. the
pla$r-providing that every owner of an
automobile used chiefly for pleasure
forego on certain days such use of his
or her car and use the money saved in
the purchase of war savings or thrift
stamps. The same plea has also been
made to about 500 automobile clubs
throughout the country.
In his letter Mr.. Guggenheim names
the Sundays falling on February "a,
March 3. 10 and II, and asks that auto
owners "patriotically forego the use of
their automobiles on at least one" of
those dates. All owners who are will
ing to adopt this suggestion are to be
placed on the honor roll of the Ameri-
can Defense Society.
On an estimate of 100000 passenger
cars in the country. 1t is figured that IL
only one-third Of these observe one
