PEOPLES FORUM
ITO buy Liberty Bonds is a good busi
ness proposition. for the people
and Government"

To the Avalanche:
Had | dozen sons--each in my
love ALIKE had rather have eleven
die nobly for their country, than
one with club hawking patriotism =
The Government don't approve Of
this mode. The Governments power
to tax the people is unlimited. but
the tax must be legally laid by Con-
gress. Money cannot be taken from
the people, except, and only, by legal
taxation.
No attempt. during the present
war. has been made by the Govern
ment to take money from the people
by demand accompanied by threats.
That a heavy war tax had TO be
paid, there was no issue, the only is
sue was, as to how the tax should be
laid, so as to be as little burden upon
the people as possible. The revenue
needed would make the tax too
heavy for the people ard general bus
mess, so il was planned by law to lay
tax for certain amount of reve-
nue. needed, and raise the balance by
bonds, that is by loans to the Gov
eminent.
The plan adopted for selling the
bonds is new, system unknown in
history; practical experience of Gov
errment people is the nam cause for
this new system.
Now for history as an explanation
for the new system, during the war
between the states, the Federal Gov
eminent sold a vast amount of bonds
as rule only the extreme rich pur-
chased the bonds, and they soon had
the power to dictate the terms upon
future issues to be sold So great
was their power before the war end
ed, that they virtually controlled the
financial system of Government and
people II has been said that this
DoWtT was NoinpOotu bi itSo NhAH a
hundred men. They controlled the
volume Of money in or to be put IN
circulation, at will They could ex-
pand or contrast the volume Of mon
ey as they wished, for nearly fifty
years they held this power with an
iron grasp. Mr. Lincoln. a few days
before he was murdered, said, 1--WE
have put down the rebellion, but ]
fear we have created money power,
that in course Of time will prove a
greater curse TO the country than
the rebellion" Mainly it was to
avoid this great evil, that the present
system for selling bends was adopted.
Another good point is that the
present system is practical Democra-
cy, and the bonds a good investment.
More bonds can be sold by good bust
ness methods, than by threats.

A number of tables were engaged in
whist, while the large ceremonial hall
was filled with dancers, who tripped
until 1880 in the morning to music
furnished by O'Connor's orchestra. At
whist, Miss Bertha Lyden carried off
first honors among the ladies, while
Angus Mcdonald proved the most

the close of the evening dainty re-

kitchen maid in the fairy tale, whose
name she has adopted, and the second
act of the play shows INSTALLATION
of dream in which she finds fleeting
realization of her fondest fancies. In
the scene of the dream ball Barrie lets
loose his fancy in a comic court with
cockney king and queen who look like
their pictures in dingy pack Of play
ing cards. In one of the prettiest
love scenes that the sentimental dra-
matist has evolved the play is brought
to a close. Some one has said of the
work that it is compounded of laugh
ter and unshed tears. In it's pathos it
is most appealing. Cinderella is fine
patriot. AS her ''bit" she is caring
for four war orphans, and though she
tries to hide the fact, one of them is
German, showing her patriotism can
not interfere with her humanity. Miss
Adams has staged the play with care
and artistry. The supporting COM
pany is made UP of well known
players.
