THE ROLL OF HONOR.

The roll of honor, the list of the
killed and wounded Americans
on the battlefields in France
shows that this is".a national war
as far as America is concerned
in which every state and every
race is in OUR army During the
Civil war the men, both Of thf
North and the South, went to the
i front by state lines. as the Sixty
ninth New York or the Tenth Lou
isiana. 1t was much the same II,
the Spanish war, and in the recent
display along the Rio Grande
growing out Of the Mexican 1In-
broglio. Tt was attempted at the
beginning Of the present great
war, when SO many militia regi-
ments went into the service en-
masse, but THE men have become
very scattered and mixed since,
and while the quotas from the
several states are usually sent to-
gether their movement from ore
camp to another has tended TO
throw men from 1alf-dozen
states together.
The Rainbow Division, one OF
the first in France. is a sample
composed as 1t is Of men from a
dozen states. veritable rainbow
It is true that in some Of the East
ern states, where there were we'll
organized militias. many regi-
ments are all from the same state
Or city, but the contrary is gen.
orally the case. In the Marine
Corps and the navy the men are
usually from all the states. Only
the other day attention was called
to regiments mainly from Cleve-
land and Chicago, in which the
preponderance Of the officers were
Southern men, but the reverse is
true in other cases, and the mix
ing up has been very general.

Increasing the War Tax

HE fact that n new revenue bill must be
written and that heavy increases in tax
alton must be levied is of far more Importance
to the country than is the question whether
or not Congress must remain in session
through the summer months. One may SYM
pathize with members of the House and
Senate who desire to escape the heat Of the
capital or may be deeply concerned over their
campaigns this fall. but there is somethin q
far more vital in the present situation than
the personal comfort Of our legislators or
even their political fortunes
The Secretary Of the Treasury, after care
ful consideration Of the state Of the Treasury
the returns from present taxation the sales
OF bonds and the rate Of expenditure, has
come to the definite conclusion that $1,000
100000 or S4,000,000,00O more must he
raised by process of taxation He has con-
WINGED the President that he is right, and it
is reported that Chairmen Simmons and
kitchn agree that the money must be forth
coming If the war program is to be carried
out
But the congressional leaders want the
disagreeable job postponed. They want Con-
gress to adjourn about July l. They want
to give the members of both bodies an op-
Portunity to return to their constituencies
and. ii possible, to be returned to Washing
ton by these constituencies. They are even
willing for an extra session to be called this
lail as matter or compromise 1t IS difficult
to be patient with such an attitude as shown
by Senator Simmons and his colleague in
the House. II they were able to show that
additional taxation unnecessary It
would be different proposition but it is not
n question of a bill no bill It Is purely
question with them of legislation now or
legislation later
lnasmuch as legislation seems to be abso-
iutely imperative, it is incumbent upon Con-
gress TO lcgislate to that end with the least
possible delay There is nothing that dis
turbs business as does a revenue bill It
creates the most acute uncertainty in every
possible direction, and uncertainty is danger
Gus, If not actually disastrous to many
American enterprises. If the war taxes for
1919 are to be raised they should be raised
at once and every individual and every bust
ness in the country be allowed to adjust him
SELF or Itself to the new order Nothing
could be more unfortunate than new tax
law passed on the very eve OF the date when
II is TO go into effect, unless it is tax bill
which, like the last one, was retroactive. The
country is entitled to know where it stands

moment Congress can answer the question

We have now women farm hands in

recently, in politics.
