WASHINGTON, d. c., May 81.
President Wilson's war finance
policy contemplates raising 40
per cent of new revenues by tax

A memorandum, written by
the president and given Senator
Simmons and Rep. Kitchin, sug-
gested this proportion.
On this basis the new tax bill,
expected to raise 4,000,000,000
more than the present one, would
augur a $6,0O0,000,000 bond issu
in the fall.
Kitchin and others previously
opposed to tax revenue, voiced
approval of President Wilson 5
message today.
"The commander-in-chief has
spoken" said Kitchin. Our
duty is plain. We will at once
go to the task. We expect to be
able to report a revenue bill by
Aug. l."

CARD FROM MR.. CLEMENT

1t has been brought to the notice of
the writer that there has been recent
report in circulation that he has been
guilty of unpatriotic expressions
while discussing the war situation,
even to the point of being pro-German
in his utterances.
If had been accused of being a
murderer the accusation could not
have been more misplaced, as believe
/ am safe in saying that there has
been no human being on the Ameri-
can continent that has been a more
constant cusser of Prussian militar-
ism since the summer of 1914 than
have, and there is no other person in
this country possibly that has less
cause to utter one single intentional
speech detrimental to the welfare of
the country than /.
The writer. as some of my friends
will probably remember, advocated
war the day that the Lusitania was
sunk, and the sending of one million
men across just as soon as possible.
| have responded to. the country's
call for money and at present prob
ably hold more Liberty Bonds than
the average person in this town, or
other town of its size.
The writer comes from English
Scotch, more remote French, descent,
whose ancestors landed in this coun-
try from England more than two
hundred years ago, and / may say,
with not blot on their record to
date, the books being open still in
Charleston, S. C. The family is rep
resented at present by six near rela-
tives in the army of this country, all
officers.
| can assure my acquaintance and
the people at large, that in the many
discussions that have taken pleasure
in on the streets regarding the NOM
entous question, If / have said one
word in any of them that could be
construed in any way as disloyal to
this country, God knows the writer's
intentions could not have been further
removed from such an act.
As it worries the writer to believe
that there can be people in this town,
where he has lived for so many years,
that could believe that he Intentional
ly said these things, / would beg that
these people broach the subject to him
on the streets, and | am sure he will
be able to explain the matter to their
satisfaction. E. w. Clement
