RY G. GOTLD LINCOLN.

BY G. GOULD LINCOLN.
President Roosevelt, informing con-
gressional leaders yesterday that new
costs incident to the farm bill soon to
be enacted must be met by new taxes,
virtually settled the question of in
creased taxes-in favor of increased
taxes.
At the same time the President made
it extremely clear he intended to have
a balanced budget for the fiscal year
1899. What he said to the congress
sional leaders in regard to new costs
for farm aid, necessarily applies to any
other new activities which Congress
may place on the Government. 1t
will have to find new revenue.
The farm program, including its
crop control features, is believed GER
tain to bring increased and new costs.
What form the new taxes, needed to
offset the new costs, will take Is still
undetermined. Revival of the process
ing taxes-perhaps under a different
name-which went out with the old
A. A. A. when the Supreme Court in
validated that act, is predicted in
some quarters. Such taxes would go
into the general funds of the Treas
ury, it is believed.
Has Twin Objective.
The President wants farm legisla-
ton. At the same time he wants to
balance the budget in the fiscal year
1899. In letters to Chairman Marvin
Jones of the House Agricultural Com
mittee and Chairman Ellison D. Smith
of the Senate Committee, the Presi-
dent said yesterday, 'it is especially
important that any new legislation
should not unbalance the expected
balancing of the budget. In other
words, no additional Federal expendi-
lures from the general fund of the
Treasury should be made over and
above existing planned expenditures.
The only question to this would be
the incurring of additional obligations
on the part of the Treasury, backed
100 per cent by receipts from new
taxes"
The farm legislation desired by the
President must be permanent He out
lined to the committee chairmen his
views on the proposed legislation, his
principal points being that it should
safeguard farm incomes as we'll as soil
fertility; provide for storage of food
supplies in an ever-normal granary;
provide for control of surplus crops
and at the same time preserve export
markets that are still open to our
farmers; should protect both con-
Sumers and farmers from extreme ups
and downs in prices of farm prod
ucts; should be financed by sound fis-
cal methods, and the local admins
tration should be kept in the hands
of the farmers.
500, 900 a Year.
This is large order, but one which
Chairman Jones of the House COM
mittee believes can be effected. At the
same time it Is going to cost more
than the big bill for the farmers which
the Federal Government already is
footing. Estimates have been made
that to maintain an "ever-normal
granary" would cost $700,000,000 a
year. This is the judgment of farm
advisers of the administration. Other
estimates go considerably beyond this
figure. If the estimates of $500. .000,0 900
are correct, they mean an expendi-
ture of about 5000, 600, 900 more a year

SHANGHAI, October "a Sunday
The battle north of Shanghai con-
tinued for the fourth day today with
q japanese announcement that the
Chinese forces were retreating along
the entire front countered by Chinese
assertion they not only were holding
their own but advancing
A communique issued by the Japa-
nese Third Fleet reported the invad-

A japanese spokesman added they
had not yet occupied Tazang, north
west of the International Settlement

The report drew crisp comment
of nonsense" from a Chinese spokes-
man who declared the Chinese were
holding their own and advancing.
British and American troops in the
International Settlement reported they
saw no signs of the Chinese withdraw
ing from Chapel.
The japanese sought to smash the
25-mile front northwest of this city,
the contending forces fighting through
a maze of creeks and canals.
Twelve miles to the northwest the
battle surged about the keypoint in
the Chinese defenses, with the roar
clearly audible in Shanghai.

Chinese dispatches reported the de-
parture of several trainloads OF Japa-
nese troops from Tientsin, headed
eastward toward the coast, ostensibly
going home after the victory" Chi
nese said these forces, withdrawn from
Hopeh Province fronts, actually would
be sent to Tsingtao, chief port Of
Shantung Province.
One Japanese column already has
invaded Shantung, advancing from
the north along the Tientsin-Pukow
Railway to a point 80 miles north OF
Tsinan, the provincial capital.
A Japanese Army spokesman in
Peiping declared Japanese forces in
Shansi Province, southwest of Peiping,
very soon" would begin a major
drive to capture Taiyuanfu, capital of
the province.
On the front north of Shanghai the
moonlit battle lines swayed back and
forth through clusters of thatched
farm villages-specks on military
map-from which the terror-stricken
natives fed, driving their oxen and
pigs beforS them.
Details of the fighting did not mat
ter, japanese spokesman said, be-
cause the Japanese Army was slowly
but surely pushing the Chinese back
and achieving their general objectives.
Heavy losses were admitted by both
sides.

In midafternoon yesterday, in the
10th hour of the furious battle, a
Chinese spokesman said the threat to
Tazang, the back door to the Chinese
positions in Chapel on the northern
border of the international Settle
ment, had been definitely checked and
the japanese forces halted mile and
q quarter east Of the town.
A Chinese spokesman asserted "the

Snow, sleet and cold winds

that winter was near and spurred
them to renewed intensity of action,
if possible.
Renewed insurgent artillery bonn

bombing of Valencia, temporary

WHAT WOULD HITLER SAY?

What a gratuitous insult to our institution!
What brazen affront to every patriotic Ame-
rican citizen!"
Those were sharp words uttered in the annual
report of Commander Harry w. Colmery of the
American Legion made public on the eve of the
opening of it's national annual convention in
New York
But the words were none too sharp or point
ed if Commander Colmery is not misinformed
but has the facts to support his rather start
ling declaration that
Nov we hear from beyond the sea that the
German government claims the right and in
tends to organize Nazi groups in our country
to preach and propaganda Nazism here
THAT 1T WILL NOT TOLERATE ANY IN
TERFERENSE with that policy, and that it's
purpose in organizing Nazi groups in America is
to save us from communism"
Whether Commander Colmery's information
about the Nazi governments purpose be entire
ly correct or not, he spoke the everlasting
truth when he declared
This is the United States sovereign people
We have the right to have whatever form of
government and follow whatever political phi
losophy we think best for us. That is our bu-
sness, and it isn't any business of any other
government or any other people"
Suppose ADOLF HITLER and mis- Nazi gov
eminent learned that the United States govern
ment claimed the right and intended to organi-
re democratic groups in Germany to preach
and propaganda democracy there and that the
United States would not tolerate any interfer-
ence with that policy, what would the Nazi
Dictator and his regime think of that? What
would they say and do about it?
Such purpose on the part of the Nazi Ger
man government, as described by Commander
Colmery, is unthinkable and increditable, ex-
cept on the pretty safe assumption that HIT
LER like all other dictators is insane.

mate OF the secretary of agriculture would seem
to be about in line with prospective market
needs. In other words, to maintain farm prices
at about their present level or what the govern
ment thinks they ought to be- to take about one
sixth of our land out of production in the ma
Jor or marketable crops would seem to hit the
bulls eye
There will be passed up as irrelevant also any
weakness in the bounty system itself which
pays, as under the now unconstitutional AAA
for crops the farmer does not grow Although
there seems to be an advantage in the new pro-
gram over tLct AAA crop control plan in that
in the present instance bounties are to be based
on soil improvement on those acres taken out
OF the cultivation of money crops, 1t must be left
to the farmers themselves to say how much
longtime benefits they will derive from this
benefaction of their government.
For later day must be left the matter of how
the American consumer, a deciding factor in
our business if not in our politics, rings in on
this artificially produced shortage. Will he OBJ
ject to little friendly hi-jacking from him for
the benefit of the farmer by paternal Uncle
Sam? Is a question that he must answer for
himself as he gets clearer meaning of what
is transpiring.
But what we are most vitality interested in is:
Does the secretary or agriculture have any
surance that by taking a definite number of
acres from under the pillow he is reducing total
by any given amount? AS an illustration of
how such system sometimes does not work, it
could be pointed out that after five years of re-
striction of the cotton acreage we have the lar
gest Yield in history That is one side. On the
other it is remembered that once the federal gov
ment went into the business of curtailing pork
production by killing pigs, which unfortunate
ly preceded disastrous drought and made that
year exceedingly tough our old friend, the
consumer. Secretary Wallace appears to have
everybody, the administration, the farm leaders
and perhaps most of the farmers in his partner
ship except weather and providence. They
never enter closed corporation.

WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

Living in this quiet, peaceful and beautiful sec
ton of North Carolina where the mountains
seem to kiss the sky and where friendllness and
hospitality freely abound, it is difficult to rea-
lie why there is so much industrial strife in the
United States and more especially why most OF
the major nations in Europe and Asia are either
engaged in war or are preparing for such cata-
strophe at record breaking speed.
According to an article published recently in
Harpers magazine the leading nations of the
world excluding the United States and South
Central America, spent 1882 billion dollars in
1881 on national defense" Last year they
spent total of 1852 billion dollars The nat
ions heading this list of greatly increased arm
ament expenses are Germany, Russia, and Italy.
With all of this costly preparation, and with
fierce fighting now going on in Spain and
Chine another world war of tremendous proper
tons appears to be inevitable. Why? Nobody
knows except the fact that humanity continues
to be ruled too much by selfishness, greed, hat
red and thirst for power on the part OF Leaders,
In connection with the Japanese-Chnese bloc
dy conflict it is gratifying that President Roose-
welt lost no time in announcing that American
vessels trade in arms and ammunition with the
contending powers at their own risk Thus one
ground for American interference In the affairs
of battling Asia is removed
The sinking of the Steamship Lusitania in 1915
by the German submarine, causing the loss OF
1900 American lives, carried the United States
into the World War, just as the sinking of the
Maine precipitated the Spanish-American war.
1t was claimed that the Lusitania was carrying
munitions of war to the allies.
Therefore, if good business men see fit to drive
a bargain with the Japs or Chinese, and ship
goes up in pieces, it will now have to be charg-
ed to profit and loss and the American citizens
will not be called on to quit their jobs and enter
the horrible ordeal of fighting
But with our economic policies extending into
every country, the problem of staying prepared
and yet keeping out of foreign entanglements
becomes more acute every year. What is the
answer? Perhaps some day civilization will
find it :. =. :. and upon the churches rests great
responsibility.
