people of the taxes they must pay on
their earnings of the present calen-
oar year, whose accountings and ex-
penditures will then be closed We
cannot get increased taxes unless the
country knows what they are to be
and practices the necessary economy
to make them available. Definite
ness, as to what its tasks are to be
is absolutely necessary for the sue
ccssful administration of the treas
ury. 1t cannot frame fair and work
able regulations in haste; and it
must frame it's regulations in haste
if it is not to know it's exact task
until the very eve of it's perfor-
nance. The present tax laws are
married, moreover, by inequities
which ought to be remedied. Indis-
putable facts, every one; and We can
not alter or blink at them. To state
them is argument enough.
And yet perhaps you will permit
me to dwell for a moment upon the
situation they disclose. Enorm Gus
loans freely spent in the slim ulation
Of industries of almost every sort
produce mutations and eXtrava gances
which presently make the whole eco
nomic structure questionable and in
secure, and the very basis of credit
is cut away. Only fair, equitably
distributed taxation of the widest in
crease indeed and drawing chiefly
from the sources which would be
likely to demoralize credit by their
very abundance can prevent imitation
and keep our industrial system free
of speculation and waste. We shall
naturally turn, therefore, I suppose,
to war profits and incomes and lux
uries for the additional taxes. But
the war profits and incomes upon
which the increased taxes will be
levied will be the profits and income
of the calendar year 1918. 1t would
be manifestly unfair to wait until the
early months of 1919 to say what
they are to be. 1t might be difficult,
| should imagine, to run the mill
with water that had already gone
over the wheel.
Moreover, taxes of that sort will
not be paid until the June Of next
year and the treasury must anticipate
them 1t must use the money they
are to produce before it is due. 1t
must SELF short time certificates Of in
! debtedness. In the autumn a much
| larger sale of long time bonds must
| be effected than has yet been at
| tempted. What are the bankers to
! think of the certificates if they do not
| certainly know where the money is
! to come from which is to take them
| up? And how arc investors to APP
| proach the purchase of bonds Will
| any sort of confidence or knOwledg
| of their own affairs if they do not
| know what taxes they are to pay anG
| what economies and adiustm cnts OF
jtheir business they must effect?

Passenger fares by water routes or
by rail and water are to be increased
proportionately with the higher rate
charges.
The basis for computing charges for
excess baggage is to be one one-sixth
of the normal passenger fare, with a
minimum Of Is cents per hundred
pounds and minimum collection of 25
cents per shipment.
May Redeem Mileage Books.
The director general provided fully
for the redemption of tickets and mile
age books purchased before June 10
and rendered invalid after that date
when the higher fares become effec-
tive. Unused portions of mileage
books and unused or partly used
tickets will be redeemed at their orr
ginal purchase rate
The rs per cent. increase in freight
charges will apply generally to class
and commodity rates, but minor varia-
tons will be necessary in many cases.
For instance, where certain relation
ships exist between rival commercial
centers, the % per cent. increase will
apply to the longer distance and the
rate to the nearer locality will be the
same number of cents less, as under
present schedules. In this way
charges for many short hauls will be
raised more than % per cent.
The following minima are estab-
lished for the classes in the several
classifications territories:

general that all citizens affected di-

ether burdens, and the grievous per-
scnal losses which are part Of the

Red Cross Activities.

The aunnai meeting Of Scotland
Chapter American Red Cross was
held in the Strand last Thursday ev-
ening, and it proved to be an enthu-
siacstic meeting, a fitting review Of
q years work well done. Three
speakers from away were present and
gave interesting addresses on various
branches of the work. Mr.. Crisp Of
Yankton gave a general talk and out
lined the work that confronts the So
ciety during the reconstruction period
following the war. Miss Pye of
Minneapolis, who is in charge of the
home relief work of the national Red
Cross, explained the work Of her de-
partment in looking after thu fami-
lies of absent soldiers, and providing
for their necessary wants. Mrs.
Gamble of Sioux Falls, who is gen.
eral supervisor of Red Cross work in
this state, gave an interesting review
of the work of the various chapters.
Music was furnished by a ladies'
double quartette.
The reports for the year were Civ
en-, showing the contributions, and
work done by the Chapter during the
year ending November l., 1918. and
these reports were heartily commend
ed by all of the speakers. While
Scotland has an independent chapter,
the work accomplished compares very
favorably with many of the county
chapters. The officers of the chapter.
as we'll as the members who have
contributed literally of their time
are deserving of much credit for the
favorable showing that the chapter
has made. DR.. Koobs, who has not
only given much of his time. but has
purchased a building, had it nicely
fitted up for work rooms, personally
bearing all expense, and donating the
use to the society, was given a merit
ed vote of thanks by the audience.
The perfect harmony that has pre-
vailed throughout the year has been
very gratifying, and the society very
wisely reelected all Of the old officers
for the coming year Following is
the list of officers: DR.. H. j. G.
Koobs chairman; C. j. Dickson vice
chairman; d. K. Tomlinson. treasur-
er; Mrs. LISA Cobb. secretary. The
three trustees are, Mrs. ). M. Dun
mire MRS. Geo. Thorpe aud c. J.
