Are Your Wages
Guaranteed
!? j? :?

Laboring men and women insure
your time against sickness and acci-
dent with the National Casualty Com
pany of Detroit, Mich.
You are all right when you can
work. What about it when you can
not work because of sickness or acci
dent? You should take no chances
by neglecting the interest of your
self and family. The great destroyer
Of our time is, sickness or accident.
Some Serious Facts
1. There are so doctors to every
undertaken.
2. One person is accidentally killed
every five minutes.
8. One hundred thirteen persons
are accidentally injured to every fire
that occurs.
4. Over 9O;OOO,OO0 people are dis
abled by sickness or accident every
year in the United States.
5. One out of every ten deaths is
due to accident
6. There is enough sickness each
year to average 9 days to each person
in the United States.
:. Three million i'll people are
continuously in the United States.
s. Some person is accidentally
killed or injured every seconds.
9. One man in every six is acci.
dentally injured every year.
10. Ninety-nine persons are dis
abled by accident or illness, to every
one that dies.
ii. In view of these facts, how can
you afford to neglect the interest of
yourself and family another day?
II. Working man, how can you feel
safe without some protection for your
self and family?
10. Accept these statements as
true-for they arc true: does not
comon sense sugscat the wisdom of
insuring your time?
IA. Insure your time at once, the
very first opportunity ycu have.
Is. Our contracts cover every day
lost by sickness or accident.
Why You Need Health and Accident
Insurance
1. Because the chances are one to
six that you will be accidentally in
iured this year.
2. Because you will need additional
money when you are sick or injured
8. Because of the High Cost of
Living, it becomes your duty to in
sure your wages.
I would suggest that you see me
at once and have a contract written
up that will protect you from the loss
of your tipe when sickness or acci-
dents occur. Now, after you have read
this advertisement, and you feel the
need OF such protection, see R. G..
Barnett, the General Agent for the
National Casualty Co., Detroit, Mich
Office, Hotel Adams.
Insure today. Tomorrow may be too
late.

ConScriptiOn
OF Wealth

The ending of the war has in no
way eliminated the issue of wealth
conscription to pay the cost of the
war. 1t must be remembered that we
have paid only a very small part Of
our tremendous, almost unbelievable
war costs. The issuing of bonds did
not pay the war cost. 1t merely put
it off. We still have 25 billions or
more of war-bond indebtedness to pay
in the years to come. How shall
we pay it? How shall we pay the
interest on it, in itseie a tremendous
sum ANNUALLY
The Lead2r believes that it should
be paid by conscription of wealth,
first through continued high excess
profits taxes, second, by taxes on
idle land, and third, a graduated in
come tax, falling lightly on incomes
OF from $4,000 to $4,000 and with
increasing heaviness on incomes
from that up. We ought to take
practically all in excess of 100000 a
year on big incomes. Our income
tax should at least be as dastric as
Great Britain's. The next few years
will be one of big excess profits
profits above 10 and IL per cent.
Why not take so per cent of excess
profits? Idle land-and held for
speculation and unearned increment
alone could bear the whole burden
without in the slightest affecting any
productive industry or discouragin5
or limiting the production of food or
anything else useful. :
Already, however, our financial
overlords and the politicians sub
servient to them are getting ready to
put the taxes on consumers of food,
clothing and other necessities and on
imports, which is the same thing.
They are looking forward to amass-
ing new, untold wealth during the re-
construction and getting out from un-
der their just burden of taxation to
pay war-debt principal and interest.
No sooner had the armistice been
signed than they began to clamor for
a revision of the tax bill before con-
gress, which, in the form it then ex-
listed, placed the heaviest burden yet
IN evnoec nrofitc ond avooccivo in
comes. In this plan they secured tha
aid of Secretary of the Treasury Nc
Adoo, who recommended that the pro-
posed tax bill be cut in two, now that
peace had come In other words, let
our profiteers keep the wealth they
made out of war during the last year,
thus repudiating the governments i'm
piled promise that, so far as possible,
this blood money would go to pay the
costs of war
At the same time that Mr.. McAdoo
was echoing the demand of the prof
iteers that the tax bill be cut, the pa
pers were preparing the public for an
other issue of Liberty bonds, the only
question to be discussed. according
to them, being whether they should
be sold to the general public. as dur
ing the war, or whether we should let
our big banking institutions under

The scheme to cut the tax bill is
purely and simply one of the profit

money even, if the war is over. The

''The effect was irresistible, and

so much food that they were using

The personnel Of these martyrs

who lies buried in France, and those
humber but no less heroic women
who gave up their lives in American
