HERE IS GLORIOUS
THOUGHT FOR THIS
EASTER MORNING
IN AMERICAN HOMES IT Is MOI
LONGER NECESSARY TO READ
CASUALTY LISTS.
WE ARE CALLED TO ARMS
Measure Of Gratitude For
Victory.

"Why seek ye the living among the
dead2" was asked of the disciples on
a memorable Easter morn some nine.
teen hundred years ago and the sound
OF the Questioner's voice brought Joy
to the hearts of the disciples.
In thousands of American homes to-
day there is no longer need of seek
ing news Of the living in the daily
casualty lists. The strain and worry
Of uncertainty has been removed from
the hearts of thousands of American
parents and in its place has welled
"a spring Of gratitude which must seek
expression.
- Gratitude not only for the sons re-
turn In good health and with broad
ened outlook, but for the return of the
millions of other SONS who shared the
glorious work of making the world a
better place in which to live.
Hostilities have ceased over there,
but the call to arms is sounding over
here. The Victory Liberty Loan, the
Thanksgiving loan, the loan that Is to
pay for the great victory and wipe the
slate clean is to be offered the people
OF the United States on April 81.
Uncle Sam needs this money to pay
for the vast military preparations nee
essary to defeat the Hun. Our war
preparations were at the high mark
of production when the Germans gave
up. To pay for the war supplies con-
tracted for. to bring the boys home
and to finance the period Of readjust-
ment of business conditions will re-
quire billions of dollars. We must
furnish them as a measure of our
gratitude that the war is to be paid
for in American dollars instead of in
galued American lives.

The national convention of insur-

that in the auditing Of all insurance
companies for the year ending Decem-
ber 81. 1918, par would be allowed for
all Liberty bonds.
Financiers see in this action Of the

tain indication that the present low
prices of Liberty Bonds CT the first
four issues are only temporary and
that the bonds are soon to go above
par.
The action should be an incentive

WHICH APPEALS
To GET INTEREST
OR PAY TAXES?
THE NATION OWES BILLIONS FOR
WINNING THIS WAR AND
MUST PAY IT.
TT IS A DEBT OF HONOR
The Victory Liberty Loan, the Last Of
Historic Series, Should Enlist
Your individual Aid.

This country is thinking harder
about taxes right now than It has ir
many years. 1t is pretty generally un
derstood that when the Government
wants money that It has but two i'm
portant ways of getting the needed
funds. 1t can raise the tax rates, OF
1t can issue bonds. OF the two meth
DDS 1t is a great deal easier on the
taxpayers Of the present to issue
bonds. Also when the taxes are about
as high as can be levied 1t is almost
necessary to foat d bond issue rather
than to pile taxes upon taxes,
The income taxes are not raising
the money that was expected In some
quarters For instance It is the gen
eral belief in the cities that the farm
ers are wonderfully prosperous and
yet but $4,000 filed income tax returns.
And there are more than 100000
farmers in America!
Others who are not swelling the in
come tax lists to any great extent are
the men in the mechanical trades, an
industry that has been receiving the
highest wages ever paid.
The failure Of the income tax
scheme to raise the amounts expected
has forced the Government to look
further for the necessary money. The
extraordinary demands that will be
made on the nations resources for the
reconstruction period have made 1t
necessary to float a Fifth or Victory
Liberty Loan. The ordinary ways Of
money raising will not give the sums
required even should their results
greatly increase
The failure Of money raising by
means of popular loans will mean the
placing of consumption taxes on tea,
coffee, hides, wool and other house
hold necessities. Raising this money
by means Of subscriptions to Liberty
Loan is by far the easier way both
for the Government and for the tax
payer. He let's the country have his
money, he gets the bond and the in
terest that accrues. AS the years pass
the strain Of the war will lessen and
a reserve Of funds will be built up to
take care of the Liberty Notes (short
term bonds) as they fall due.
We have all been profiting by the
funds raised, in the earlier Liberty
Loans. Paid out in wages In war
plants. for foodstuffs from the farms
or for materials used in war industry,
most of the money has remained in
the United States. What is true of
these loans will be true of the Fifth.
1t will aid every man and every bust
ness in America during the difficult
after the war days.
