FURTHER HONOR
MEMORY OF CAPT.
PHILIP E. PORTER
Continued From Page one.)

! Many members of the fire compan-
knew Captain Porter attended the
unwilling ceremonies which were held
in front of the Company's quarters
on Gloucester street, and thus added
their tribute to the memory of a good
man. Addresses highly eulogistic of
! Captain Porter were delivered by
Judge Robert Moss, Mayor John j.
Levy. and George F. Quad, who as
chairman of the memorial committee
of Independent Company delivered
the presentation address.
John NJ. Taylor, president of the
j Fire Company, presided over the cere-
monies which were opened by the in
vocation prayer, offered by Rev. Ed
ward ID. Johnson, rector of st. Anne 5
Protestant Episcopal Church. Then
followed singing of Nearer My God
10 Thee led by a chorus of the fire
men of the Independent Company. I'M
mediately after the singing. the hands
OF little Miss Beverly Daniels, great
niece of Capt p. Z. Porter, pulled
I the rope that released the National
: flag with which the tablet had been
draped The presentation of the tab
let to the city on behalf of the Fire
Company was then made by Mr.. Quad,
who spoke briefly. He said;
We are assembled today to unveil
and dedicate memorial tablet TO an
honored citizen that through the will
of Divine Providence has been called
F., to his last reward. Independent Fire
/ Company No. has seen fit to per-
petuate his memory by this tablet
which Is a very small token fer all
4 that our beloved Fire Marshal and
T fellow citizen has done for Indepen-
dent. Fire Company No. and the An
napolis Fire Department in general
We have very fittingly called him the
Father OF our modern fire depart
ment. for it certainly was through his
energy and untiring efforts that the
splendid department has been made
possible. and is now at the command
OF our citizens Philip F. Porter was
our guiding light in anything pertain
ng to the fire department.
PRO Bono Publco' (for the good
of the public), the motto of Indepen-
dent Fire Company No. 2. can truly
lie said. to have been carried out TO
the every letter by all his actions, and
trust that will be the motto those
OF us here may emulate. Independent
Fire Company No. takes great pleas
ure in presenting TO the City of An
napolis through the Mayor and City
Council this tablet as our token of
esteem Tor his worth as a member
and Ms1shal of the Annapolis Fire
Department. May the memory of his
noble life work live with US forever"
EulOgized BY Mayer
Mayor Levy. accepting the tablet in
behalf of the city. highly extolled the
life of Captain Porter, as a fireman.
and how he rose to become chief of
the department. and his invaluable
services as Clerk of the City Council
He referred to the pleasure it gave
him when, as a member of the fire
department committee of the NUM-
cipal government, to lend his aid in
the several movements for the benefit
of the tremen.

EVERYBODY PAYS TAXES

When the legislator helps en-
act law assessing a good stiff
tax on rich men, he has virtuous
sense Of having accomplished an
act OF stern and deserved justice
The representative OF leading
business house lets the facts out
in testimony before the Massa-
chusctts Commission on the Nee
essaries Of Life on the reasons for
high cost clothing Practically
every manufacturer, he said,
had felt he must make the same
net profits as before the federal
excess profit taxes were imposed.
Consequently he had added to the
price of his product a sufficient
amount to meet the taxes"
So as the tax actually works
out. according to this authority,
the people themselves are paying
it, and adding to their own cost
of living every day it stays i'll
effect. President Wilson in his
message seems to feel that the
high income and profit taxes now
imposed are not adapted to peace
time conditions.
II the production of the world
were only up to normal, taxes
could not be passed ON in this
way With abundant production,
and more competition, producers
that tried to pass on all their
taxes would lose their business.
1t would go to others who were
willing to assume as much as
possible of the tax burden them
selves.
Theoretically the people OF
wealth could we'll afford to pay
permanently nearly all the taxes
that have been assessed against
them. But in practice taxes usual
ly fall on the people who consume
the products If YOU tax the pro-
ducer, he adds the tax to his prod
uct. and the common people pay
the price. People who rent
houses know how it works. as no
sooner are taxes increased than
rents so up, especially if houses
are scarce. The man who owns
no visible property has as much
interest as anyone in keeping the
taxes down. Economy and more
production are the only solutions
of existing economic troubles.

Commenting on American participa

de Paris says:
Like ourselves. the Americans de-
sire universal peace, but on two con
ditiOns. which they do not hide. First
they do not want Europe to intervene
in American affairs. and. secondly
they only want to intervene i'll Euro
pean affairs when it is to their interest
to do So
On the first condition the "Cri'' is
absolutely right: on the second absO
lutely wrong. If the League Of Ma
tiOns means American interference i'll
European affairs the vast majority OF
people in this nation want nothing OF
it. 1t is the fear of just that result
that is the foundation of the opposi-
ton in this country to. getting tangled
up in such an international pact. Re
CARELESS of all the misrepresentation
that has beer circulated. the American
people know we'll enough that this ma
tiOn did not enter the war primarily to
right the wrongs of Belgium. France OF
other deSOlated European countries
any more than it did to right the
wrongs of Ireland. 1T entered the Wal
in self defense and because Germany
had persistently and fiagrantly VIC
lated our rights on the high seas and
murdered our defenSeless citizens with
out regard to humanity or interna-
tiOnal law Germany's umcountable
crimes against other peoples helped to
swell our wrath against the Hun, it is
true. but it was our own grievances
that finally brought us into the con-
tlict
After all has been said to the con-
trary, America is certainly isolated to
n certain extent from the interminablo
turmOils of Europe by several thousand
miles of water. and the NeWS-Budget

THE TEST OF ENDURANCE
BY NJ l.. Burton, President of the
University Of Minnesota

| University Oh MlllHeSOta
America must face a new test in the
Victory Liberty Loan beginning on
April DIST Germanys job now is to
he Il good loser. Our job is to be a
good winner Ours is the Severer test.
During the last two years we have re-
Sponded remarkably to the call of
the country We have every reason to
he proud of our record. In Red Cross
work, in the activities of the various
welfare societies. and in the great Lib
erty Loan campaigns. we have wrought
achievements worthy of the gods. We
did all of these things under the spur
of war. We were fighting Every one
Of us strained at the leash. We were
determined to do our part We shared
as best we could in the spirit of battle.
1t was pretty difficult to stop some peO-
pie when news of November eleventh
came. They were positively lost. if
not aggravated. The game was full of
Zest and the job was the biggest one
they had ever tackled. Their machine
was running on high. straight ahead,
and every cylinder was firing.
We face totally different crisis
now 1t is a question whether feeling
or reason is to dominate us Until
last November. all of the deepest emo
lions and passions of life drove us on
Patriotism was at its height. 1t was
grounded in something more eternal
than logic. Our whole being respond
cd to its demands. But now the guns
have ceased their firing. the trenches
are empty, the German submarines
can no longer murder our citizens and
destroy our commerce. the battle is
won and the boys God bless them. are
coming home. Everything seems diff
ferent. The pressure is off and it is
very easy to degenerate into very
poor winner
SO common sense must step in and
insist upon our meeting splendidly the
present issue. We still have millions
of men to feed and care for. Our gov
eminent is still spending two billion
dollars Il month to defend the rights of
mankind. 1t is easy to say I'VE have
subscribed all we can" But have we?
If the western drive were still on we
would subscribe another siX-billionS
and still another. America would
never yield. SO now we face the test
of endurance under conditions which
do not stimulate and inspire us as
actual war did. But reason must con-
troll us. The tasks of peace will call
increasingly for sober, quiet Judgment
in meeting our national issues. Any
loyal citizen who sits down calmly to
face the facts will conclude that this
loan must be taken Just as gladly as
its predecessors. If we fail now. we
shall be guilty of superfciality. If we
succeed now, we shall give clear evil
dence of our real integrity as a ma
ton. We must now take the endur-
ance test
