Will Back Boys with the CO|OrS

Nj. J. Chapman said that he was
in hearty sympathy with any move
ment aimed to arouse the people of
this country TO win the war. He
thought that too often relatives of
the boys at the front waste their
money and energy in buying or MAX
ing gifts which are absolutely use
less to the recipients and simply en-
cumber the mail and freight service.
j. e Lindsey expressed the idea
that the people of the United States
occupy the same position to the
men at the front as the rooters do to
the players on a football team. 1t
is our duty to pull for and encour-
age our soldiers and sailors in every
way possible and we should organize
our support, just as the rooters or
ganiZe to do effective yelling. He
said. that he had never been in the
habit OF Joining organizations, but
/ that he would gladly become mem
Der of an organization aimed to back
up and encourage the men who are
| fighting in our defense.
Other short speeches were made
in favor of perfecting an organiza-
ton, after which +. NJ Slagle was
! elected chairman and J. f. Lindsey,
secretary. The chairman was au-
thorized to appoint a committee to
prepare a constitution and bylaws,
and named NJ. j. Chapman, ]. e.
Lindsey and VIM. Goodyear. This
committee will report at the next
meeting, which will be held at 100
| next Monday evening in the city hall,
when a permanent organization will
be perfected. Each one present was
urged to bring some other wife, par
ent, sister, brother or sweetheart of
a man with the colOrs.

The lack Of sufficient gauZe work
ers is hampering the work of the Red

class of work are urged to report at
headquarters. Mrs, f, w. Thorpe,
chairman of the local branch, this
week received a letter from Red
Cross headquarters asking that the
local branch put all its time on hos
pital garments and gauze work. This
request is in anticipation of heavy
casualties during the expected big
spring drive and every effort is be-
ing made to have a sufficient supply
OF this class of hospital necessities on

GETTING READY FOR
NEXT LIBERTY DRIVE
Big Drive VIII Start April 9 to Sell
Bonds to Raise Money to Carry
on the War

The next Liberty Loan drive will
start April and every community
in the nation is beginning to organ
i2e to m axe it success. Wednesday
morning F.. c. Forrest, who has been
appointed to head the drive in this
section of the county, called meet
ing of the committee of business men
who conducted the two former
drives. The committee, which is
composed of f. c. Forrest, ID. F.
Staley J. y. Emerson, w. l.. Greena-
walt, J. s KLEIN gard Lee Allen, w.
c. Kruegel, 7. A. Martin F. o.
BrOwnsOn, NJ. ID. Henry and VIM.
Goodyear, reorganized by electing F.
c. Forrest, chairman and ID. f. Staley
secretary. F. NJ. Slagle was added to
the committee.
Definite information as to the
amount of the third Liberty Loan
and the rate of interest the bonds
will bear has not been given out by
the government, but it is gene ally
believed that not less than five bill
lion dollars will be called for and
that the rate of interest will be p
per cent.
In the two other drives the quota
of bonds assigned to each community
was based on the bank deposits.
This time the apportionm ent will be
based so per cent on the value of
the land in each community and so
per cent on the bank deposits. Whit
man county has been divided into
three districts. F. c. Forrest will
have charge of the drive in the dis
tr.ct including Pullman. Albion,
Johnson. Cotton, Garfield, Palouse
and Uniontown. Ralph Comegys of
Thornton will have charge of Tekoa,
Oakesdale, Rosalia, Maiden, Pine
city. st. John, Lamont, Pennington
and Thornton; II. G.. DePledge of
Co,fax will have charge of Colfax
EIberton, WinOna, Lacrosse, Hooper,
Steptoe, Endicott Maps have been
prepared showing the territory which
each town will canvass, so as to pre-
vent any disputes.
The local committee has prepared
a card index. showing what each
resident of the city and tributary
country has done up to date to help
win the war in the form of subscrip
tions for Liberty Bonds or donations
for Red Cross and Y, NJ. c. A. work.
This record will be carefully kept up
during the war and will provide con-
elusive evidence as to who are the
patriots and who are the slackers.
II was the sense of the committee
that all the details of the next bond
issue should be placed before the city
and country people through news
napers and speakers and then that
thew should be asked to come to the
hanks and subscribe for the bonds
between certain specific dates, in
stead of waiting for a soliciting COM
mittee TO visit them at their homes.
Judge Neill was appointed to take
charge of the campaign OF four MIN
ute speakers and advertising slides III

Relatives of Pullman Men in Army
and Navy Plan to Organize to
Help Win the War

About 80 residents of Pullman,
each of whom has a husband. son,
brother or sweetheart serving in the
army or navy, met Monday evening
in the city hall to formulate plans
for backing up the boys with the
colOrs. The meeting was called to
order by F.. NJ. Slagle, who made
strong argument on the importance
of convincing our fighting men that
their relatives, friends and acquaint-
anCes are back of them heart and
soul and are prepared to make any
necessary sacrifices to help them
win the war. He read an article
from the Independent, written by
Edward Earle Purinton, who asserts
that the boys in the trenches can win
but 40 per cent of the war and that
the remaining 60 per cent must be
won by the folks at home. The ar
ticle suggested the following meth
DDS by which the people of this
country can help and encourage their
men at the front.
l. BY smiling when your dear one
leaves to join the colors.
,. By writing cheerful and fire.
quent letters to him, full of home
news and your pride in the fact that
he is fighting for his country.
g. Confine your letters to the
boys whom you know personally
The. censorship rules forbid the men
Of the eXpeditionary forces to CORE
spOnd with strangers.
4. Send your boys the home pa
pers, carefully addressed.
>. See that the boys receive lit
tie gifts once or twice a month.
s. Take an active part in fight
ing the German propaganda in this
country, and refuting the false
stories and rumors which are con-
stantly being started by German SYM
pathizers.
7. Look for the best and be ready
for the worst always remem bering
that each of our boys has "a chances
in 100 to come back alive
Mr.. Slagle urged that the people
who have relatives at the front
should take cheerful view of the
waG and concentrate their thoughts
upon winning it, instead of upon the
hardships and dangers which it i'm
poses upon their loved ones He ar
gued that an organized effort on the
part of the folks at home would con-
tribute much to maintaining the de-
termination and morale of the SOL
diers and sailors.
Sergeant Pickett said that he
thought such an organization could
accomplish much good, but urged
that people should be careful in Civ
ing out inform alton contained in un-
censored letters written by relatives
in the camps and navy bases in this
country Such information reaching
the ears of pro-Germans may en-
danger the safety of our troops being
transported on railroads or sailing
for Europe.

will come in for increased taxes. The
committee has not vet decided how
heavily they shall be taxed. The present
tax On automobiles which is imposed on
the manufacturers will be increased
slightly, members say, while the great
problem before them is to reach what
they denominate the luxury class, the
users of motor cars. A federal license
based on the horse power of the car is
suggested, while another way considered
~ the placingl Of a fgreater, tax on
gasoline nsed for pleasure ears than
gasoline used by commercial ears. The
latter system would make it possible for
an aiItomobilist to take himself out OF
the taxable class by. not ;using his car.
and at the same time Would conserve
gasoline, the need of which for war
purposes is steadily inereasiHg'aand is
now about at point where some re,
.strictiog must be enforced.
While itis not thought wise to put a
direct consumption tax ON coffee, tea,
sugar, and the necessaries, the commit
tee is considering the plan of placing a
tax on gross sales. This sort of tax
would be equivalent to a consumption
tax, at is asserted, as the dealer would
pass the levy on to the consumer.
Another way suggested to. get a large
return from the general public lis by
increasing the commission tax. This is
now 10 per cent and the 4committee be-
lieves that Is per cent wohld not be
