WEEKLY DATA ON MORTALITY
Statistics of Principal Cities Now Is
sued Regularly by the United

weekly circular giving the mortali-
ty statistics of the principal cities of
the United States is now issued regll-
larly by the United States census bu-
reau, says the Scientific American. 1t
gives the total number of deaths re-
ported (stillbirths excluded), the death
rate per thousand, number of deaths
OF infants under one year of age, and
the proportion of infant deaths to total
deaths.
The cities for which data are given
include one-fifth the population of the
country. Thus the circular is a fairly
accurate index to the state of the ma
tons health. It's uses are manifold.
IT will show local health authorities
how their home lawns stand in COM
pariSon with other towns in respect to
mortality and when town has a bad
record the publicity given to the fact
should spur the authorities to seek the
cause and remove it. Insurance COM
panies will find the reports of interest.
The circular is issued in Washington
every Tuesday, and is distributed free

Who Is Paying for the War?
BY JOHN R. COMMONS, Professor of Political Economy,
University Wisconsin

Everybody must expect hardships
from war. The greatest hardship is
on the boys who go to the front. No
body can ever pay them what they
are worth to the nation.
But our nation is doing the next
best thing. We have more than dou-
bled the pay that soldiers got before
the war. The dollar a day, besides
food, clothing, and expenses, which
they now get while training and fight
ing is four times as much as the
British soldier gets, eighteen times as
much as the French, and nine times
as much as the German.
Besides, if they are disabled, the
government cOmpenSates them for the
rest of their lives, by giving them as
high as 500 month if totally dis
abled, in addition to teaching them
new trades, if necessary, SO that they
can make living.
Next to the boys at the front, the
greatest hardship is on their families.
These families can never be paid what
the boys are worth to them. But the
nation does the next best thing. While
they are serving their country it pays
their families according to the num-
Der of children. In case of death it
pays the family the compensation the
boy would get after the war if he were
disabled; and it furnishes as high as
$4,000 life insurance at less than half
what an insurance company charges in
time OF peace, and permits him to con-
tinue it after the war at substantially
the same rate.
The next great hardship is taxes
In former wars our government taxed
food and almost everything the peo-
pie used. In this war it is taxing only
liquor, tobacco, patent medicines, lux
uries, amusements, new insurance
premiums, business documents, trans
portations and postage.
Taxation of Big Incomes.
Two-thirds of the people pay but
very little extra taxes directly to sup
port the war. The other one-third
of the people are taxed On incomes
and excess war profits.
In the Civil War the income tax was
per cent to Is per cent, and every
income as low as $500 was taxed. In
this war, three different income taxes
are piled on top of each other, so that
al income of $4,000 pays $40, and in
come of $1,000,000 pays $475,000 and
larger incomes pay nearly 60 per cent
But no income of a married man
less than $4,000 is taxed at all, and
none less than $1,000 for an unmarried
man. No workingman with a family
pays an income tax.
The largest incomes, on the other
hand, are not yet taxed as much as
they can stand. A corporation pays
two taxes-an excess profit tax that
is said to average about one-fourth the
profits above per cent on its capital,
and an income tax of per cent on
what is left Our government has call
Cd in the leading tax experts of the
country to work on this problem.
The Watertown news. [volume] (Watertown, Wis.) 1917-1919, 1918-02-08

The government is trying to cut
down excess profits. AS fast as pos
s1ble it is reducing the prices that pro-
ducers are permitted to charge.
This has been done for iron, steel
and almost everything else that the
government buys.
1t is hard to do this and yet not
discourage production. We must have
an enormous increase of food, cloth
ing, munitions and other necessities
during the war.
But the government is doing this
In the only way possible. 1t calls in
the representatives of labor named by
the American Federation of Labor,
and the representatives of the manu-
facturers and farmers. The American
Federation of Labor wanted the price
farmers wanted $3.50. They COM
promised on 1920 a bushel.
This is the way it is done for coal
and other essentials which the peo-
pie must buy. If the price is cut too
If there are no profits, the thing will
not be produced in sufficient Quanti-
ties.
The Rise In Wages.
Increased cost of living always goes
along with wars. But here is some
thing to remember:-the outbreak Of
war in 1914 brought an increased de-
mand for labor, at a time of great in
dustrial depression in this country.
The demand of the Allies for NUM-
tons, equipment, and food, set every
body to work in the United States
Immediately also wages began to rise
They went up fastest and highest in
the industries that furnished NUM-
tons to the Allies. The employees of
the United States Steel Corporation
have had an increase of so per cent
in their rates of wages, and when to
this is added steady employment, their
| earnings by the week or year have
gone up far beyond so per cent.
In the state of New York-the only
state where statistics have been col
lected on a large scale-the earnings
of all factory wage-earners throughout
the entire state have risen, on an
average, over 38 per cent since June,
1914. In some of the metal and ma
chinery industries, they have more
| than doubled
Nobody can give exact figures, but
the cost of living-taking everything
into account-has gone up about 80
to 40 per cent. Food has gone up more
than that-47 per cent, according to
figures of retail prices collected by
the Federal Department Of Labor.
But food is something less than half
of the workingman's expenses Other
expenses, such as rent, have not gone
up so much. Taking into account the
increased amount of work and the in
crease in wages, the total earnings Of
wage-earners have about kept up with
the cost of living Some have gone
far ahead, others have not kept up.
Those who have gained most are COM
mon laborers and organized labor.

Food for the Doc.

Meat is the natural diet of the wild
dog and should be an important item
in the sporting dogs diet, observes
Outing. So long as it is untainted it
makes little difference whether it is
horse, beef or mutton, but pork is not
so good, and any quantities of fat
should not be fed. Generally it is
best to cook the meat in sort of
stew with vegetables mixed, but occa-
sionally a dinner of raw lean meat is
a welcome change and serves as a
tonic and mild laxative. During the
hunting season it is a mighty good
Sunday dinner for the shooting dog
