ssSSASAs
To the average citizen Secretary
McAdoo's position seems well taken.
Most small and local corporations are
capitalized at an actual valuation.
Many of the very large corporations
are greatly overcapitalized; the stock
of some of them has been repeatedly
watered With only an excess profits
tax corporation earning 10 per cent
on grossly watered capital will pay
the same tax as anothsr corporation
not overcapitalized earning 10 per
cent. on real, actual valuation of the
money and properly invested in its
business. The profits of the first cor.
poration might be 80 per cent on its
actual valuation, and it is to cover
such cases that war-profits tax is
urged.
AS many of these large corpora
tions are engaged in government work
and drawing huge sums from the
United States, it seems particularly
just that they should pay taxes on the
ovarcapitalized. A tax that taxes
same actual basis as corporations on
equally 10 per cent profit on watcred
capital and a 10 per cent profit on
unwatered capital is not equal and
Uniformly and scarcely just.

Unless coal piles are well ven
tilated spontaneous combustion will
follow. To prevent spontaneous COM
bustion, the bureau of mines gives
these suggestions: az Build coal
bin on dry ground. (2) Store only
one size Of coal In each pile. (3) Re
move fine coal for immediate use II
possible. az Don't wet and dry the
coal alternately while piling. (5)
Store the coal In small piles near the
place where 1t is to be stored. 10y Use
small bins in storage yards.

WAR PROFITS TAX AND EXCESS
PROFITS TAX-THE -.
DIFFERENCE.

"By war-profits tax we mean a
tax upon profits in excess of those
realized before the war.
"By an excess-profits tax We mean
q tax upon profits in excess Of a
given return upon capital.
"The theory OF war-profits tax is
to tax profits due to the war.
"The theory Of an excess-profits tax
is 60 tax profits over and above
given return on capital. The excess
profits tax falls less heavily on small
business. because big business is
generally ovarcapitalized and small
businesses are often undercapitalized.
1.-THE war-profits tax would tax all
war profits at one high rate; the ex-
cess-profits tax does and for safety
must tax all excess profits at lower
and graduated rates"
The above extract from Secretary
Of the Treasury McAdoo's testimony
before the House Ways and Means
COMMITTEES gives his differentiation
between war-profits and excess-profits
taxes and explains his position in u-o
ing upon Congress an excess profits
tax with an alternative war-profits
tax in the forthcoming revenue leeis-

CANNED PASTURE.

| Canning food for tomorrow that
cannot be eaten today is not only one
of the immediate means of winning
the war, it is one of the ultimate
means of keeping the human race
alive. The food can will loom larger
and the garbage can loom less in
American domestic economy from
this day forth.
Canning is, also gooo barnyard
economy. The silo is the .odder can.
Silage is canned pasture. The far
mer with a well used silo may have
his stock on summer rations the year
through. This means something
mora than sentiment; it means dol
lars for the farmer. Exhaustive
tests have proven that beef may be
made on a silage ration for one dollar
per hundredweight cheaper than with
out it. The farmer nets 81 profit on
every ton of silage he makes. In
the dairy the silage ration is IL per
cent more efficient than the dry fod-
der ration. And beyond all this, fod-
der that would waste because of damp
weather in harvest. may be altogeth-
err saved by canning it in silo. Fod-
der can be put up to perfection in a
fodder can on a rainy day; and it
can be kept unimpaired for five years
in we'll constructed silo.
Canned pasture is not for wints
use only. August is dry month in
the dairy and in the beef factory.
Farmers use summer silos, bringing;
out the canned goods when the pas.
lures are burned brown. Like ths
dams on the upper Mississippi that
keep navigation good in seasons of
drouth the silo can be tapped to keer
the summer milk flow up to the de-
sired level.
The silo is not a privilege. 1t is
not merely good thing for thosc
who like that sort of thing. 1t is
duty. 1t is a necessity. Every
farmer with ten head or more Of cat
tie will ultimately be compelled to
use silo or sell out for he cannot
compete indefinitely with the farmer
who has a twevle per cent lead by
reason of his canned fodder, and per-
haps another IL per cent because Of
the salvage or fodder the other man
wastes. Forty per cent of the hay
and corn fodder as usually cured and
piled in the open is wasted as fod-
der. Such extravaganza waste will
some day be prohibited by law Both
the fodder can and the food can may
finally be made compulsory. A few
years hence the silo will be consider.
ed as necessary a farm building as 8
barn.

Ancient Holland pelicacy.

The hutspot of Holland is still made
after the manner of the one left by the
Spaniards who cooked this dish over
their campfires the day in October long
ago when they were driven by the Hol-

their country The stew resembles our
"mulliGan" Of the Northwest and the
pepperpot Of the West Indies, only the
latter has crab meat and dumplinss
added.

BIG ENROLMENT NOTED
IN D. C. NIGHT SCHOOL
Director Patterson Intimates Con-
tinuing Appropriation May Be
Short Of Summers Needs.

An enrolment exceeding that OF
other years by hundreds and far in ex-
cess Of the enrolment expected at the
summer night school at Business High
School may cause the shortening Of the
program under the present appropria-
ton for night schools. according to
w. B. Patterson, director Of night
schools.
When the Business High night school
was opened July 1t was not expected
that the enrolment would exceed 400,
but up to last night total of 1900
names had been enrolled. The students
seem particularly anxious to study ste
biography and typewriting and decimal
filing, and 1t is said that in spite Of the
large enrolment there are very few who
miss class.
The appropriation for night and day
schools in the District. according to the
joint continuing resolution passed by
Congress for the District appropriations.
permits the use Of the same amount Of
money for night and day schools during
the current month "as was used last
July" according to an Interpretation Of
the resolution made by the Controller Of
the Treasury. By the exercise of care,
this amount may be used up to August
Is. according to Mr.. Patterson. Twenty
grade coaching schools and a white and
a colored high school are now being run
as day schools.
