with view % the formulation of pol
icies and programs with regard to the
entire IMPORT of food supplies to the
countries at war with Germany. An
agreement has been reached as TO poi
icies which will effect great measure
of coordination in, the purchase and
transportation of supplies during the
coming year and in their equitable dis
tribution between all the countries
and a program has been agreed upon
as to the different commodities that
are required not only to maintain the
health but the comfort of the, armies
and civil populations.
The people OF North America are
this year able to take upon their
shoulders the movement of the great
bulk of food supplies required. and it
will, therefore, be possible to curtail
the total length of voyasa necessary to
bring these supplies to the European
allies, thus effecting considerable
saving in tonnage as weld as contrib
uting a material factor of safety on
account of the comparative immunity
iof the Atlantic lane over all others
from interference by the enemy.
+ THE great transportation problem
within the next year is to move suf-
f1cient American troops into Europe to
give an overpowering strength against
any forces the Germans may be able
to bring to bear, and in order to ac-
cemelish this economy in consut1ption
is imperative in all the allied coun-
tries

THREE LOAN DRIVES AHEAD.
America to Ask For Biggest Credit
Ever Sought BY ANY Nation.

Washington, Aug. 21-Tentat tive
plans of the treasury provide for three
Dig liberty loan campaigns within the
next year. each to raise IS ,O00, 000, 900

VIII be from Sept. 28 to Oct. 10, as has
been announced, the following is
planned for January or February and
the third in May or June.
This program will be necessary. it is
explained to provide the $4,000, o0o,-
600 which officials estimate will be re
quired to finance war operations dur
ing the year, in addition to the ss,o00,-
100000 which may be provided by the
new revenue bill now being drafted.
II government expenses and loans to
allies fall much below the s24, 0oo,-
900 estimate the government is ex-
pected to try to combine two loans into
one big campaign for the largest credit
ever sought by any nation. Such a
campaign would be set for some time
in the late winter.
Money needs between loan periods
will be financed by sale of short term
certificates of Indebtedness. as in the
past. In addition, the treasury looks
for steady inflow of money from tax
certificates, which banks and corpora
lions probably will buy in $1,000, O0O,-
600 Quantities as means of virtually
paving their takes in advance.
One season in which the treasury
wishes to avoid floating popular loans
is the Christmas holidays and the fol-
lowing weeks of comparative CONNER
cial inactivity, when there is danger
also Of curtailed industrial activity on
account Of bad weather
Another bad time for loans is the
spring planting season, when farmers
are busy and business men have less
time than usual to devote to cam
paigning. The third period to be
avoided is June, When huge war taxes
will have to be paid.

HON. W. l.. ESTES MAKES
 SPLENDID IMPRESSION

The Chautauqua at the Methodist church was again attended last night by packed house any many are the compliments heard on Hon. w. L. Els tes' address which was the feature of the second number. Another very pleasing number was the duet by Misses Avearne and Lula Beth Gee, entitled Whispering Hope"
 Judg ng from the comment heard from members and non-members of the church relative to MT. Estes ad- dress, the remaining numbers of the Chautauqua will have to furnish speakers of extraordinary type to eX- eel the address last night on Elijah the Prophet" which was considered by number of local Bible Readers to be one of the finest they have ever listened to. His talk WAS without doubt the product of long and careful study of the life and deeds of Elijah and the masterful and plain manner in which he delivered it proved that the study he has made Of his subject was not for the mind only. but for the soul. The entire audience seemed rather disappointed that his discus sion of the absorbing subject was necessarily brief on account of the fact that he was troubled with a throat ailment which badly handicapp- ed him. He concluded his talk with some interesting comment on the pres ent worldwide struggle of Autocracy against Democracy.

WHEN MY THOUGHTS
 WOULD TURN TO POETRY

WOULD TURN TO POETRY When my thoughts would turn to
 poetry,
 Like the bud turns to the rose; There's something seems to hold me, And bids me speak in prose; In words that only border
 On the verge of what I'd say, When my soul in wild disorder Bids inspiration stay When I fain would see the glory That natures world adorns; It's the same old tragic story can only see the thorns That deck the tender roses, That wait sweet perfume, When natures God discloses His treasure house in bloom. In land that's free from rancor, By the mystic pool of blue; When my good ship comes to anchor In the land where dreams come true I shall speak with more precision, And shall frame my thoughts anew, And shall see with clearer vision, In this land where dreams come
 true.
The daily Gate City and constitution-Democrat. (Keokuk, Iowa) 1916-1922, 1918-08-10

The Ws.ys and means committee OF the house
of representatives appears to be finding ARTICLES
commodities and Injuries on which two billion
dollars in taxes can be laid. But the attempt
TO raise six billions out of excess profits and in
come taxes appears not to be succeeding so WELL
This is an enormous sum of money, and while
Chairman Kitchin is prepared to tax both
profits and incomes to any extent, and appears
to rejoice at the chance to do so, wiser men rea-
lie that there is point where excessive exact
ions defeat their purpose and by Gripping IN
dustry impair the sources from which the
revenue is to be derived.
There is a widespread feeling that the gov
eminent is acting unadvisedly in laying so
great proportion of the burden Of the on
this generation, in this coming year which may
be the last one of the war, and on the people of
today on whom the work of waging the war
is imposed. 1t is inequitable that those on
whom it devolves to fight the war and bear Its
SORROWS and it's hardships should also be ask
ed to pay so great a part of its costs. We are
building for the future, to lift the burden OF
armament from coming years, and to save those
who come after us from the peril and staggering
cost Of another such conflict. The case is anal
ogous to that of parents who save and toll
through life to the limit that their children may
have nothing to do. It is invariably a terrible
mistake.
There is no doubt that profits made out of the
war should be adequately taxed. No one should
be allowed to hold up the government and en-
rich himself at its expense. The government
is the people. They are paying the bills-must
pay every dollar of them soon or late-and it Is
folly to permit constituencies profteers to fat
ten on their neighbors who are scrimplng to
keep the government in funds. War profits
should be taxed into reasonableness. But bust
ness which is struggling against, adverse con-
ditions should not be overburdened; and In
comes which the diminished purchasing price
Of the dollar has already cut in two should not
be taxed to the vanishing point. This war can be
won without impoverishing this generation;
and will be if true craftsmanship leaves to the
future it's due share of the load
