declaring it beyond ali praise and

On have made to it are beyond all

ID themselves. Long before govern
mental recognition was given them,
tbev had been the inspiration of
practically all patriotic action. On
April 81, 1917, the President recognized
The essential need of securing the wise
direction and inspiration of the wom-
ems work in winning the war and
named the organization 'Woman's Com

Under the direction of this Woman's
Committee. women in every state have
strong organizations, and these organi-
cations extended into cities, towns and
townships. 1t is indeed true that they
have modified American womanhood
for every character of service at home
and abroad, from work in munition
factories to nursing the wounded under
the very fire Of the enemy. When the
story of the war is written, the vision
of these woman translated into service,
both in the national and state councils,
and in the local organizations, will
demonstrate to all the world that it
was their splendid conservation and
sacrifices that was the leading force
and influence in the unified America

Wants
State Income
Tax for Firms
Controller Also Favors An
nual Mortgage Levy and
Investment Rate Raise

ALBANY, Dec. THE imposition of
state income tax on all general bust
ness corporations and partnerships, in
Guiding manufacturers, appears to be
the best solution for increasing the
staoe's revenues to meet the constantly
growing cost, State Controller Travis
announced last night According to
the Controllers estimate, about s15,-
100000 would be realized annually
from this new source, which would
help to offset the loss of $12,000,000
excise tax and the increased cost of
government, without the need Of in
creaslng the present direct tax on gen.
eral property or developing any new
special taxes of an indirect nature on
franchises, privileges and incomes to
overcome the expected decrease in
revenues
Like the cost Of living and transact
ing private business" explained the
Controller, "the cost of conducting
government has increased, and there
does not seem to be any prospect of
reducing the states budget below that
OF last year without curtailing its pro-
gramme of increased activities as de-
manded by the people. Consequently,
unless there is a change of policy and
a limitation in government activities.
- is highly impro bable with the grow
ing population and increased complexi-
Ties OF modern life, that any material
decrease may follow no matter what ad-
hlnlstratlve economies may be effected
Present System Unscientific
The question of increasing costs of
government beyond the revenue from
sources other than a general propertv
tax has been the subject of much dis
cusslon during recent years. In 1916
JOINT legislative committee advocated
~ the abolition of the present tax on
personal property; GU the withdrawal
of the general business corporation
from the provisions of Section 1872 of
The tax law; (3) the imposition of an
income tax on general business cor
poratons, including manufacturing
companies. The Legislature made in
part the change when it enacted the
. per cent income tax on manufacture
ing and mercantile corporations, which
already has netted the State about S1O,-
100000 annually.
That the present system of taxation
is unsclentific has been demonstrated,
as under it the real property pays a
tax out of proportion to that paid on
intangible property which cannot be
successfully taxed by unskiled and
nunderpaid boards of local asses ors.
Some people think of it as being tvpi-
cally American and democratic. As a
matter of fact, it is neither. 1t was
first lnaugurated in Massachusetts, bv
the Pilgrims. because they were ac-
customed to that form of taAsation in
England. While it may have been
democratic at a time when the ability

THE GERMAN BOGEY

The report from Gen. Pershngs boys on
the firing line in France is thrilling the hearts
of the most intense satisfaction throughout the
country. Our boys are proving themselves
fully equal to the task before them and have
already taken the measure of their foe and are
going after him.
They are also dissipating the hitherto
worldwide dread of the German DOGGY and
proving him TO be by means the superman
lac would have us think him. They are demon

quest. and docilc and tractable army the
result must inevitably be dangerous machine

And it is i'm this latter quality. or rather

They are not only reliable in the mass. but are

II is the German contempt for all things
