THE GREAT DUTY

AS we go about Il daily tasks in
peace and safety men are dying every
minute on the battlefields OF Europe to
save civilization. Our own gallant SOL
diers are shedding their blood in France
and our sailors engutfed in the waters
of the Atlantic as they go in defense of
Americas rights and honor.
Upon our performance of the work
committed to US depend the lives of
thousands of men and women, the fate
OF many nations, the preservation of
civilization and humanity itself; and
the more efficient and prompt we peo-
pie of America are in doing our part,
the more quickly will this war come to
an end and the greater the number of
our. soldiers and sailors who will be
saved from death and suffering and the
greater the number of the people of
other nations released from bondage
and saved from death,
To work, to save, to economics, to
give financial support to the govern
ment is a duty of the Nation and to the
world and it is especially Il duty to our
fighting men on land and sea are offer.

DESTROY MONOPOLY FOR
SOLDIERS AND FARMERS

Why not squeeze the water out
of these land values and throw the
land open to our boys by taxing
land values and exempting all i'm
provements from taxation? That
would help not only the boys, but
the struggling farmers already on
the land, whose taxes increase in
proportion as they make the land
productive and serviceahle.
The government has two obvious
duties to these two million young.
sters: Destroy land monopoly: and
destroy the transportation, storage
and marketing monopolies that suck
the vitality Out OF agriculture for the
benefit Of the few who own our rail
roads, grain elevators, cold storage
warehouses;, and banks. The first
can be accomplished by the taxation
Of land values; the second, by pub
lie ownership of transportation, stor
age and marketing facilities.

LAND CONVERSATION

Pro German land owners who have
enjoyed great prosperity in America
under her laws and protection but who
are doing what they can do to help the
enemies of this government in time of
war may not be interested in the Amer
lean protest but it is a safe guess that
they will not overlook the meaning of
a movement % taking form to make
the confiscation Of their lands a part of
the penalty for reasonable utterances
and acts. How far the matter will go,
it is yet too early to say; but it is
worth noting hat Americans are get
ting in dead earnest and that from now
on pro- ermanism in this country will
not only be unpopular but expensive as
well. Sioux Falls Argus Leader.

the invaders might make war cheap
