peace times. but he's up against
it now and l know he must come
to my terms.
We stand around breathless
while this insolent Stacker SUBJ
mits his ultimatum and we give
him the blanket mortgage, and
the fat contracts and the exorbi-
tant interest rates.
Because, we argue, if we de-
mur he may get mad and refuse
to help us in any way
TAX INCOMES AND PROFITS
Of course. this is a supremely
silly way to finance a war. Hav-
ing embarked on the policy of
conscripting men we should not
hesitate to conscript dollars.
First we should greatly increase
the tax on incomes and we should
take practically every dollar of
So called war profits.
In fact. there should be no such
thing as war profits. No in
dlvidual or corporation should be
permitted to make money out of
this war.
If taxation does not produce a
sufficient nun Der of dollars we
should issue bonds, offering a
reasonable rate of interest. If
the dollars refuse to volunteer for
this service we should proceed to
conscript them. just as we have
conscripted the men who were
needed.
This plan does not appeal to the
Big Interests. They and their
newspapers denounce it as revol-
utionary. They prefer the old
plan Of mortgaging the country
to pay for the war. That's the
way the Civil War was financed
when the soldiers were paid in
greenbacks and the bondholders
were Paid in gold.
That's the way every other big
war has been financed and the
Big Interests know that the sys-
TEN has enabled them to profit
from wars while the masses Of
the people have suffered.
1t is time we were getting
away from the old plan. When
the boys come back from Europe
they will have a right to be dis
appointed, if they find that the
republic they fought to save has
been mortgaged to lot of gen.
t'emen who have never risKed
their precious hides on the firing
line.

Washington Letter

BY Edward Keating
Congressman from the third Colorado
district.
Secretary McAdoo announces
that the third Liberty Loan" is
to be foateo in April. The new
bonds bear interest at the rate of
four and and one half per cent.
This is an increase of one per
cent over the rate paid on the
first Liberty Loan and it means
ten million dollars per year ad,
ded to the interest charge on
each billion of bonds issued by
the government. AS we will
soon have about ten billions cut,
the item becomes important.
Judging by experience. the
fourth Liberty Loan will carry a
still higher interest rate.
Where is this thing to stop?
We need men. money and food
to win the war.
We do not hesitate to conscript
men and we tell the farmer what
he may charge for his wheat.
Why should we deal more ten
.derly with dollars than we do
with men and wheat.
THE SOLDIERS PAY
We do not ask the man on his
way to the trenches How much
do you think you should ge. for
your services?"
He may be leaving a $40.
job met such a man a few
days ago-but if he is a private
he gets $50 month, and if he
objects too strenuously he may
be put in the guard house.
What would we think of our
soldiers if they were to announce
I'VE must have $50 a month or
we won't fight" It's unthink-
able, Of course.
But we stand for that sort of
thing from the dollar.
There are plenty of dollars in
this country and we must have
them or we will lose the war.
Come" we say to the dollar,
Come and serve your country.
It is facing serious situation
and can't trump without your
aid
PRFlTS OR PATRIOTISM?
What is it worth to me? asks
the dollar.
This is net a question of profit,
this is patriotism. we plead. Two
million men are in arms mostly
volunteers They are giving ev.
cry thing; life if necessary. We
do not ask you to die, Mr.. Dollar
merely to serve in safe place a.
a reasonable compensation"
''Well." says the dollar grud-
.gingly. Il will see what l can DO
for- sou. First. give me a blank
ct NOR; gage on the public and
everything in it. Then give my
friends, the financiers, all kinds
of nice lat contracts and various
special privileges and finally pay
me forr and a half per cent per
.Annum. That's double the rate
i used to charge Uncle Sam in
