KEEP HIS IN MIND

Back in 1891, when population was
sparse and wealth unknown, the per
capita taxes in this state were only
5000. This was for all purposes,
state, county, road, school and mu-
nicipal. In 1915, before there were
any war conditions, the per capita
tax had more than doubled, despite
the growth of wealth, the increase of
population and the enormous additions
to valuations placed upon public utili-
ties. We paid in that year in taxes
for all purposes $22.09 per person for
the privilege of living under a gov
eminent by and for the particular
benefit of the taxeaters. This year
the per capita tax, not including any
federal or war taxes, is up in the vi
cinity of $40 per capita. The tax
eaters are getting us good and plenty,
but it is our own faults. We have no
better government than we had in
1891, at least we do not get benefits
from our more complex, cumbersome
and expensive government that pays
us the difference of more than $25
per capita. We are in the clutches
of the taxeaters simply because we are
careless about the men we elect to
office and the laws that are passed
to increase the tax burdens. If we
exercised ordinary business prudence
in selecting the men who pass laws
and who spend the taxpayers money
this abnormal increase in taxes would
not threaten to deprive us of the prop
erty accumulated thru the exercise of
thrift and industry.
The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1919-06-13

in your plants plenty of steel, in the
shape of machines, we propose to de-
stroy some of them in order to recast
them for the manufacture of our
needed guns We shall try not
to cause you too much pain or annoy
ance-in the beginning *!'
This announcement, slicked over
with an oily smile, was Immediately
followed by the incursion into the
steel plants of the German wrecking
crews, who used either dynamite or
destructive weapon they called the
sheep" With dynamite they disem-
bowled furnaces and the platforms of
masonry on which the machines were
mounted. The sheep" we are told,
are heavy pieces of steel which were
hoisted above machinery marked for
for destruction, and then allowed to
fall from a height, with the result
that in one instant these delicate and
intricate machines were smashed into
fragments. The damage done at the
big plant of Ougree-Marhaye, which,
before the war, employed 5000 men,
is estimated at approximately $10,-
100000, according to the money value
of 1914, which is put today as equal
ing $40,0O0,0OO. At Cockerill, a plant
then employing 1000 workers, it is
reported that the damage amounted to
S15,000,000 according to the rate in
1914, which means today about $780,
100000. The Mathis correspondent
continues:
"Nor was this destruction caused
as they pretended, in order that they
might have material to manufacture
guns. The proof lies in the enormous
quantity of steel debris that they did
not bother to carry away and which
is heaped among the ruins. Their sin
lister object was to destroy Belgium's
magnificent industry in order that its
competition with German trade might
suffer a long period of suppression
after the war"
Germany merits only the severest
form of just reprisal in the establish
ment of industrial Belgium, and he
suggests the complete reparation.
Meanwhile he tells us that anything
like supersensitiveness in these mat

THE RAPE OF BELGIUM

The cruelest devastation in Belgium
was not military, but was the DELHI
crate looting or destruction of indus
trial plants. In fact the best reply
to the Germans objections to the
peace terms might be to take them
thru the wrecked and pillaged fac
tories. Their delegates exclaimed
that under the treaty can enormous
part of German industry would inev-
itably be condemned to destruction"
The allied reply assured them that
this fear was false, but for Belgium
the destruction is already done. The
organization whose purpose was to
ruin Belgium industrially was made
up of two brigades, we learn from a
Liege correspondent of the Paris Ma
tin, the first of which was engaged in
dismounting machinery in order to
carry it off into Germany and set it
up there More "frightfulness" char
acterized the other section of the or
ganization, for its duty was simply
to destroy machinery, blast-furnaces,
and in general all appurtenances of
the steel industry. The head of this
organization was Dr. Quesbert, pro-
fessor of metallurgy at AiX-la-Cha-
pelle, of whom we read as follows:
"He arrived in Belgium toward the
end of 1917 with his gang of wreck
ers. 1t appears that at this period
Germany was beginning to have
doubts of gaining a military. Know
ing she could no longer hope to annex
Belgium, she decided to assasinate her
by thrust in the heart, namely, Bel
gian industry.
"All the directors of the big Belgian
factories became acquainted at this
time with DR.. Quesbert, for he called
upon them, suave an polite, with an
apology for the necessity of disturb
ing them. Then softly and kindly
he made known his request, which
was nothing more than a lie. Said
he:
The German high command must
have guns, more guns, always more
guns, and ammunition. TO provide
them we must have steel, more steel,
always more steel. Now, as you have
