Not Only 'sIn the Blood but "Bred
i'm the Bone.'
Written 700 Years Ago.

Hence the Saracens and pagans
in many parts of the world are be-
coming quite impossible to convert;
and especially beyond the sea, and
in Prussia, and the lands bordering
on Germany, because the bretheren
of the German house ii. e.. Teutonic
knights) ruin all hopes of convert
ing them owing to the wars which
they are always stirring up, and be-
cause of their lust for domination
There is no doubt that all the heath
en- nations beyond Germany would
long ago have been converted but
for the brutality of the brethren of
the German house, because the
pagan race has again and again been
ready to receive the faith In peace
through preaching. But they of the
German house will not allow it, be-
cause they want to subjugate them
and reduce them to slavery, and by
subtle persuasions they have for
many years deceived the Roman
church. This is notorious, other
wise l would not make the charge"

With the question of rent profiteer-
ing before us why not listen TO adj
vice. on the subject by Theodore
Roosevelt? Here is what he has to
say:
sWe believe that the bur-
den of municipal taxation should be
SO shifted as to put the weight OF
land taxation upon the unearned
rise in value of the land itself rather
than upon the improvements, the
buildings; the effort being to pre-
vent the undue rise of rent"
Roosevelt offered this advice as
long ago as 1918 in an article in the
October Century of that year. Had
it been accepted there would be no
rent profiteering problem before us
today and no shortage of housing in
industrial centers. But it is not too
late. II Congress should put a
federal tax on land values it would
have the same effect as municipal
tax on the same object. The Ways
and Means Committee is now con-
sidering a revenue bill. 1t might
do much worse than follow Colonel
Roosevelt's advice.

$4,000 Freight Cars Saved Fol

Reports to the Car Service Section

economies Of rolling stock have beer

to get shippers to load all freight
cars to their maximum capacity.
1t is estimated that in the ferti-
:zcr industry alone, this heavier
oading has been the means of saw

seventy-five thousand cars, during
the past year.

freight cars, and the consequent re-
lease of congestion in many places
The National Fertilizer Associa-
ton was one of the first to start this
move. Last spring they made {
trong appeal to the dealers for
2allv orders and shipment in full
carloads. At the same time each
oroera in the Industry was charged
with the duty of increasing the
average carload as shipped from the
factory. Through this campaign the
manufacturers were able to raise thu
average from 21.31 tons to o0.02
tons, which in itself released ap-
proximatelN $1,000 cars for Other
purposes at time when cars were
badly needed. This season they
hope to do even better, and are ap-
,ealing to their farmer customers to
help them by putting in orders for
Gupplies at once.
This campaign for early orders is
deserving Of full support. II the

The Treasury Department pub
fishes a comparison of the resources
of the United States and Entente
Allies with those of the Central
powers. The United States with its
associates in war has $495,O0o,-
100000 in national wealth. The
Central powers but $134,0OO,O00,-
600. The difference is imposing,
but there is one fact to be borne III
mind. About one half of what is
called national wealth" i'll the
United States consists Of the value
of land aside from the value OF all
improvements. This is practically
exempt from federal taxation SO
far as helping to furnish the sinews
of war is concerned these values
might as we'll be non-existent. Con-
gress has shown no disposition as
vet to resort to them for revenue.
The Treasury Department, by whose
recommendations Congress is largely
guided, has not seen fit to urge con-
gress to cease from this neglect
Since the British Pertinent has been
equally tender with the landed in
terest of the United Kingdom an
enormous part of the potential
strength of both nations is allowed
to lie unused. These exempted
values exceed the total wealth OF the
Central powers. And because this
is done much revenue has to be de-
rived from burdensome taxes on IN
dustry. And in spite of strong de-
mands from labor and agricultural
organizations this refusal continues
on the part of Congress and Parl1a-
ment to put the burden of war where
1T can most easily be borne. The
cause remains an unsolved mystery.

Preacher Pensions.

The Methodist Church is aiming
to do for superannuated ministers
what society as a whole should do
for all men and women who have
done an honest life's work. It has
been one of the worst indictments
against the church that a minister,
after life spent in good work at a
small salary, should be cast adrift in
old age. The Methodist Church
should have the support of all it's
members in it's efforts to raise fund
sufficient to pension all superannu-
ated ministers.
But millions of men and women,
in all walks of life, are left as help
less and as poor in their old age as
are the ministers. 1t is not merely
the church that is to blame; it is
society as whole. Society should
see to it that every man, who works
honestly through his years of
strength, shall be looked after in his
old age, not as charity, but as his
rightful due. Many countries are
already putting old age pensions in
to effect. 1t is high time for the
United States to be following suit.
In our soldiers insurance business
we are building up force that
might just as well take over this
other business. -Wichita Daily
Eagle.
