UNCLE SAM WANTS
EIGHTEEN BILLION
(By United Pressl

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-The great
est financial drive in this country's
history is under way today to obtain
over eighteen billion dollars for gov.
eminent expenses this year.
According to the estimates of the
treasury department, the United States
will spend over $53,OOO,OO0 every day
during 1918, the greatest portion to be
spent to run the war.
1t is expected that the third Liberty
loan will net the government far above
four billion dollars.
Internal revenue returns for 1918
will show $4,000, 100000 as compared
with the $8O9, $685. $40 collected during
1917 according to the treasury depart
ment estimates
The total internal revenue returns
for 1918 will equal one-third of the to-
tai revenue of the entire world two
years ago.
Excess profits will bring in $1,000
100000 The next largest amount
$650,0O0. 900 will come from the per
sonal income tax. The pennies that
are paid with nickels; and dimes for ad'

to club treasuriers will net $50. 900.

Out of this vast sum to be raised by

THINGS To Be REMEMBERED
REGARDING FOOD CONSERVATION

People complain about war time
prices. They complain because they
are asked to reduce their consumption
of meats, wheat, sugar and fats. They
complain because some of the substf-
tutes cost more than the food they are
asked to save for their associates on
the other side of the ocean.
All right, suppose that we grant
their complaint about prices. But then
let us look at the thing from another
angle. Prices are high. There is no
way to get around that. War time
prices have always been high. They
will always be high. But if we ate
only the things we liked fully we'll as
the things we must save, and if we
ate only the substitutes that were
cheaper, how much of a sacrifice
would we be making in order to help
win this war?
Suppose that the men who are sup
plying our ammunition said 1t was dis
graceful to pay high prices for steel
when wood was so much cheaper. And
then just suppose that they used the
wood to make our guns and our shells
its much cheaper and could be paint
ed and smoothed down to look about
steel.
How long do you think our armies
could stay in the trenches with wooden
guns and wooden shells? They could
stay just about as long as they could
if we made prices the excuse for TAX
ing food out of their mouths.
Prices or no prices, we must eat to
win this war Those people need beef,
pork and mutton, wheat, sugar and
fats. If we fail to save in order that
they may have them, we could just as
well close down our steel plants and
send them shells made of wood.
Where there is war, food cannot be
produced. A steel pillow helps pro-
duction, but steel is not a good cult
vator when it breaks the land in the
form of she'll That has been shown
in France, Italy and Belgium and all
of the other countries shattered by bat
tie. But nation can be at war and
still maintain production, if the battle
lines do not encroach on the farms.
That has been: shown in Germany and
is being shown in the United States.
We have been charged with the ire
mendous task of feeding our associates
in this war, of maintaining production
on a scale that will meet our auctual
needs and still leave enough to fill the
gap between Europe's production and
consumption. The only solution ID to
reduce our own use of the foods most
needed abroad. We must employ sub
stitutes for beef, pork, and mutton
wheat, sugar and fats. This war is as
much ours at it is Europe's and there
is no reason why we should ask Eur
ope to bear all of the sacrifices and de-
privations.
Did you ever stop to wonder why
food prices are high in war time? Or
have you just complained about the
fact that they are high, and then won
dered why in the world the govern
ment hasn't stepped in and brought
them back to the ante-bellum level?
The next time you complain about
prices, stop to think of the farmer who
grew the things you are buying. Dc
you know that he is paying 81 or $3.50
a day for labor he could get before the
war for 81 or $1.25-and that he is hav
ing a mighty hard time getting any
body at all. Do you know that every
railroad in the country is congesteC
The Cordova daily times. [volume] (Cordova, Alaska) 1914-1947, 1918-02-27

and that it is much more difficult to
get farm products to market than it
was year ago? Do you know that the
man who buys food from the farmers
and then distributes it to the whole
sale dealers, has to pay much more for
his labor than he did before the war
And do you know that all of his neces-
sary expenses have been ON the as.
cendant? Do you know that the
wholesale dealer is paying wages and
salaries that he could scarcely have
dreamed Of few years ago and that
the same thing is true of the retailers?
And then, on the other hand, when
you wonder why the government has
not taken hand, have you stopped to
consider that prices have risen on a
much lower scale than has ruled in
other wars?
Have you thought when you paved
nine or ten cents for sugar, with the
country going through an actual sugar
famine, that it would have gone much
higher had not the government,
through the United States food ad-
ministration, taken measures to stabil-
ize the market? Have you stopped to
wonder why the wholesale price of
flour is less than 81 barrel, when
it went as high as SIS last summer
and threatened to keep mounting
Have you remembered that the farmer
is getting more money out Of $40 or
81 flour today than he got out of $14
or SIS flour six months ago?
No you haven't thought of these
things. You just know that prices are
high, and you wonder why somebody
doesn't do something about it." If you
stopped to think, maybe your tone
would change from complaint to won,
der. Prices are high, but the wonder
is that they are not higher, when you
come to think of it.
