YOU CAN CUT INCOME TAX
Subscriptions to Victory Loan Will
Tend to Reduce Taxation.

Uncle Sam unwitt.ngly put out one
OF the best arguments for subscrip.
ton TO the Victory Liberty Loan when
be sent around TO US early this month
our blanks FOR the income tax reports.
Did YOU sit up and take notice when
You had figured yours out? Did it
6tartle you?
Large as it was, it would have to be
bigger If you and your neighbor had
not bought literally of the Liberty
Bonds of the past issues.
And If you want it to be smaller
next year YOU and your neighbor must
subscribe just as Literally as you pos
sibly can to the Victory Liberty Loan
when the drive opens this month
1t is plain as can be TO you after
| a little thought on the income tax
blank. The war debts have TO be paid.
II they are not paid out of loans they
will be paid out of taxes.
And you didn't notice anything in
that income tax blank which said the
government would pay you interest or
give you back what you paid

A Debt of Honor

THE war was won six months year ahead
of schedule because the Germans realized that
the tremendous preparations being made IN this
country would absolutely annihilate the German
arnv when the full force of America was thrown
into the fight
In asking lis to subscribe to the Victory Lib
erty Loan our Government is only asking us to
loan our money SO that the bills of victory can be
paid. 1t is debt of honor which every individual
American must do his part to pay.
This nation-your country and mlne-owes
approximately $40, 100000 in unpaid war bills
for Victory that now enjoying.
The nation must pay this debit it is to con-
tinue to exist as nation among the nations of the
world.
There only two ways that the nation can
secure the money--by bonds and by taxes
Taxes already high and yet insufficient to
meet out 1tanding obligations. !
Therefore bonds must be sold.
Again. there are only two ways that several
billions of dollars of bonds be sold-to the
banks or to the people
If they placed with the banks industry
commerce, your business will suffer. The banks
would be unable purchase several billion dol
lars of Liberty Bonds and continue to loan money
in sufficient quantities and at fair rate to the
business man. You cannot have your pudding and
eat it, too.
1t is, therefore, YOUR BUSINESS and MY
BUSINESS to prepare for the Victory Liberty
Loan, that may then invest as largely each
for own.

the peace delegation are in France
looking after the worlds obligations.
il is not fair that we here at home
should, in our way, look after the
great debt of gratitude we owe our
boys in blue and khaki.
Although the actual fighting is over,
the Government is still under a ire
mendous expense. All of the money
raised in previous Liberty Loans has
been expended and the Government
has been obliged 10 borrow from the
banks. Much is yet 10 be done, which
Will mean the necessary expenditure

ARE YOUR TAXES HEAVY?
They Would Be Heavier If the Victory
Loan Failed.

Probably every reader of this paper
finds his taxes a bit higher than he
likes to pay Thousands of them have
been struggling for the past few weeks
TO make out reports on income taxes
to the government. and have found
that six per cent takes a pretty heavy
slice out of what was left over on New
Years day Many of you had to Dor
row money to pay the taxes.
But this tax is nothing TO what all
of us will have to pay if the Victory
Loan fails to go over. Uncle Sam
war bills must be paid He prefers to
borrow the money from us and pay us
back later on.
But if he can't borrow it, he must
take tin the form of taxes.
It's like the difference between rent
ing house for 10 years or buying it
on the instailment plan. In one case,
yoa wind up with thick bundle OF
rent receipts In the other, you have
4 deed 70 your home
Isn't IT better TO lend your money to
the government at fair rate of in
lerest than to pay it out in taxes,
which never comes back
That's worth considering when the
time comes to invest in Liberty Bonds.

March Is the worst month II the
year for the laboTing class IS the
weather is usually too bad for outside
work and many are dependent on
this sort OF work. March is also the
month when much sickness prostracts
those who cannot stand the strain.
The Associated Charities know that
unless they are prepared, some who
might have been helped viii have to
be turned away. and IN spite Of the
fact that other charitable work Of vari-

the churches and some by private indi-
yiduals, there still remain the many

a fine little man and hustled from

forehead was wrinkled with perliexity
and he said he Just couldn't do It all

Miss Margaret said she would provide
food for o while that he sighed one
great big sigh. When the grateful lit.

OF necessities and when the boy saw q
jar Of jam among them he said, Gee,
won't the kids like that"
There Is one important phase Of
charitable work here which has, not
been mentioned and that is the work
done for stranded show girls and girls
who have been sent from this city to
the Florence Crittenten home in
Wheeling. Probably a larger percent
age OF this sort Of work is done than
one realizes. These girls come to the
office with mothers or friends and are
usually in pitiable state. AS rule
they have no one else to turn to.

interest at s per cent since that day
making the dbet, on the face Of the
Present obligation nearly 315.000,-

The resolution sets forth the stu.
alton IN the following language:
Whereas, more than twelve years
4 have elapsed since the institution Of
the suit Of the Commonwealth OF
Virginia against the State Of West
Virginia, without definite PROPOSE
ton by either state to pay or accept
any sum Of money In adjustment Of
& alltmatters involved in said suit, out
OF court; and,
Whereas the attitude of the peo-
pie Of this state as to the payment OF
Z any just demand against them is mis-
understood: and,
,sWheeras, the people Of this state,
after announcing their absolute conf
dence in the integrity and ability Of
the court which passed upon the mat
ter involved in said suit, and without
criticizing the finding Of said court
against them on the facts in evidence
presented to 1t, believe that all the
+ evidence in support Of their conten-
ton was not filed before the court;
and,
s'Whereas, the Commonwealth Of
Virginia refused to pay the face value
Of her proportion Of the same debt to
the certified owners; and,
Whereas, the State Of West Vir-
Ginia resents the accusation Of repu-
diation Of any just debt, she main
tdins her right to refuse the payment
Of unjust demands on her; and,
.'Wheeras, West Virginia lis will
s ing to pay to the said certificate own
ers sum greater than, she believes
she justly owes. for the purpose Of
forever ending all contention between
( the two states; therefore,
BE it resolved by the Legislature
OF West Virginia, that the West vir-

hereby authorized, empowered and
directed to offer payment to the own
