Men Keeping Watch On The Rhine

TO be lies about the disposition OF

and they were being kept in France.
Acting on such reports many men
who are not brought home or are not
discharged are believed 10 be in one
Of those two classes. A sergeant
who makes the protest says he knows
OF at least one instance IN which
girl who was engaged TO a soldier
dropped him and married a civilian
when the soldier did not return for
the reason she believed him TO be
in one Of the two classes referred to
Good Soldiers On Rhine.
But there is another reason for the
protest. That is because so many
men left to guard the Rhine are be-
lieved to be diseased or bad. SUCH
men are not wanted in the fighting
units and are not found there, the
protest insists II was the best and
not the worst divisions. the writer
declares, the divisions that made

at Davenport expressed the feeling OF
the soldiers when II said III resolutions
the other evening;
I'VE are in no sense strike breakers
and never will be. but we most GER
talnly do not intend to sit around
with our hands folded and suffer while
a lot OF people who made money while
we were working for a dollar day are
enjoying the comforts Of a warm home
and good bank account"
That probably expresses the feeling
Of the men who defended this coun-
try's integrity ut a dollar a day while
avathomes coined drops Of sweat into
gold eagles.
Labor was not conscripted For
some unaccouRtable reason we felt
free TO take men from their homes and
occupations and families and by the
arbitrary power Of the government Of
the people and by the people send them
to toll and suffer and die on the bat
tlefields OF Europe. Those men who
went freely or who were conscripted
are not complaining Of that. But they
can not understand why even handed
Justice would not take other men by
CONSUMPTION to make the munitions
those men fought with over there and
to perform any and all OF the neces-
sary patriotic labor upon which the
success or failure OF the efforts OF the
soldiers depended. They realize that
labor and trade and industry at home
prcfitted hugely and profiteered
shamelessly while they faced German
guns and gas at dollar a day; and
coming home to seek opportunity and
find comfort after the strenuous and
deadly toll OF field and camp it anEers
and dissusts them to have their OPP
portunit!es Of livelihood in industry
choked to death by profiteering at
tempt of 100000 well paid workers to
hold up the l00.0O0,09o with a threat
of cold homes and hunger and uncon-
trollable epidemic. That those who
seized or had thrust upon thstA e.
'indefensible profits" Of siI uisss0 ~
the war should deny or attempt to
deny the returned soldier opportunity
TO earn a living IN peace should arouse
resentment and bring out pledges to
oppose such a program Is merely hu-
man. Beyond that It is Just.
The men who fought and saw their
buddies die for this country are by the
nature Of things entitled to speak with
authority as prizing highest that which
they suffered to save. They are en-
titled by service to be protected IN
their homes and IN their Jobs against
an invasion Of common rights by sor-
did organizations seeking to advantage
themselves reckless Of the common
good.

to be the truest representation Of the

JOINTS PAYS THE FREIeHT.

The secretary Of the treasury and
President Wilson have both discovered
that Jones pays the freight. The sec
retary tells congress that mucn Of
the high cost OF living Is due directly
to the tax up6 corporation profits
because the tax is passed on to the
consumer In a higher price for goods
and the president endorses what the
secretary says.
Not only do wartime taxes upon
business profits induce abnormal
prices but the secretary Of the treas

In other words Jones pays the
freight and the secretary is right
about it. Any tax upon profits IN
excess of fixed income or any ex-
cessive tax upon income must neees-
sarily be passed on to the public. II
was an easy way to get money quick
~ for war purposes bat n dangerous
and destructive system of taxation In
time of peace. Excessive taxes upon
profits or incomes will do all the
things the secretary accuses these
taxes Of now. Business corporations
thruout the land have grown waste
full in their expenses because they
knew that when their profits exceeded
20 per cent upon their invested capi-
tai those excess profits would be taNeo
II or SO per cent last year and so per
cent this year. Many an extravaganza
advertising campaign has been put on
largely to keep earnings from going to
the government. Managers nave
ceased to be careful about expenses OF
doing business for what was the use
when the government stood ready to
seize the most of what they might
save.
New capital for new enterprises and
expansion of old enterprises must
come from the re-investment of earn
ings or profits. If the government
limits profits too practically not only
will the corporation not be able to eX-
pand its production with its own sur
plus earnings but stockholders will
not put other money into that enter
prise because there will not be profit
enough 70 attract them.
1T puts a premium on overcapttali-
zation," says the secretary, which is
true. Exemptions from excess profits
taxes are based upon per centage
OF invested capital. The larger the
capital the greater the exemption from
tax and the more will profits fall into
zones at the lowest rates. Prac-
tically every large corporation in the
country Is selling capital stock run
ming into the millions and hundreds OF
millions OF dollars. s4
1T puts & penalty on brains" as the
secretary says because the greater
ability OF the business men at the
head Of a corporation. the more they
strive for efficiency and profit the
higher go the rates OF taxation until
the government takes the most that
men can make above 20 per cent upon
, investment. Why try to manage and
| work for more? ,,AsEa
Congress should listen to what the
