INCREASED TAXATION
is NECESSARY

Secretary McAdoo's position relative
to taxation for the coming year was
frankly and positively stated in his
letter to Majority Leader Kitchin OF
the House of Representatives. He
wrote in part:
1--WE cannot affort to rely upon
"a, 900, 100000 only for taxation, be
cause we shall then have to rely or
casing $20,000,00O,O00 by loans. This
would be a surrender to the policy OF
ligh-interest rates and initiation, witt
Ill their evil consequences.
IF we are to preserve the financial
strength of the Nation we must dc

whether they hurt our pockets or in

lively insignificant sort compared
with those our soldiers and sailors
Ire making to save the life of the Ma.
ton.
"The sound thing to do unquestion-
ably is to increase taxation, and thu
increases should be determined upon
promptly and made effective at the
earliest possible moment"
The Secretarys recommendations
briefly are that one-third ESTIMATED

For Sunny Afternoons

Only the thinest things appear to
one as the mercury mounts, and after
all, it is the thin materials that seem
10 suit best ones moods. There are
so many pretty new designs in the
thin materials. Printed chiffons,
voils and marquisettes that delight
one by their very daintiness. The
Dig sprawly figures that seem to be
iavorites this season are, as a rule,
in some dark color, a decisided green,
blue, rose or violet on white or
cream ground. The dress illustrated
here was of printed chiffon, giving
the effect at little distance of gray,
for the figures were black on a white
ground, made over white silk. The
draped tunic is one piece, softly pleat-

narrow this year, this is no exception,
for it measures but one and one-half
yards at the lower edge. The sleeves
are made of white chiffon for cool
mes. n,A
Lace dresses are considered very
smart, also. Sometimes the tunic is
of chantilly lace, either draped on the
hips, or simply gathered at the waist.
The underdress is usually of white,
golden yellow or some other fairly
light color, giving almost fairy-like
appearance TO the delicate lace. Often
the sleeves are quite long, and rather
tight, and the neck may be of the
collarless variety. Sashes or girdles
of harmonizing shade are crushed
about the waist, ending either i'll long
fringed ends or a huge Japanese bow.

There has been good deal of talk

organdie dresses and their accom-
panying organdie hats are very much
the vouge for afternoon wear. Some
of these dainty frocks have hemstitch
ing in the waist and skirt, forming
an intricate design, the only trimming
deemed necessary. Ruffles, however,
are ever dear to the heart of the sum-
mer girl, and are in no wise neglected
this year. One finds them on every
type of dress, from the almost tailor
ed morning frock to the filmiest OF
evening dresses. Peticoats (for we
are once more indulging in these lux
uries)! are much beruffled, all that
is possible has been done to insure
a delightful stage setting for summer,

Publishers Of weekly newspapers

September /, 1917, to September 1,
1918. The statements made by the

POSED to this plan, which i'm a sense
would mean the Payment of bon

ing the gold mirer in a remission of
the rrofits tax and the elimination
of freight Increases. If this is as
far as the govern nent will consent
to go in aiding the geld producer it
will avail little as it is not suffic-
iert relief to encourage tie reopen
ing of idle geld mines. 1t is con-
servatively estimated that it costs
60 per cent more to produce geld
now than 1t did three or four years
ago and the limited assistance the
treasury derartn ent seems inclined
to extend will not tegin to offset
this high ircrease in the produc-

and close October 10. The result Of
the loan will be watched with keen
interest in Europe, not only by our
associates in the war against the
TeutoIic Iowers but by our enem-

measure Of the American peoples
support of the war.
The Germans know full well the
tremendous weight and significance
of popular support Of the war, of the
reople at home backing up the army
in the Held. AS the lean succeeds
our enemies will sorrow; as it falls
short they will rejoice. Every dollar
subscribed will help and encourage
the American soldiers and hurt and
derress the enemies of America.
IN loan will he test of the 10y
atty and willingness of the people Of
the United States to make sacrifices
comIared with the willingness Of our
soldiers to do their part. There
must lie and will tie no failure by
the people to measure up to the
courage and devotion of our men in

up their lives; shall we at home
