SOME WAR COST ITEMS

Costs of the World War have been
variously estimated, some placing the total
material loss to the nations involved as high
as 500 billion dollars. In any event the
amount is beyond the comprehension of the
human mind
Any war of worldwide scope in fu-
ture would cost even more, and could easily
wreck what is left of our boasted civiliza>
itioii. Some sample items of expense con-
nected wifi modern military operations
have been figured as follows:
arms ammunition of all kinds
costs no1 an average of about so cents per
pound but large shells and bombs come
several times that high. Shrapnel and other
shells for heavy field guns cost SO or more
per pound according to an article in the
National Tribune, in which it is estimated
that an army of 10000, with 800 field
guns in addition to rifles and machine guns,
could shoot away S2,o0o,0O0 worth of ann
munition in a single day Of continuous
heavy action.
Great Britain's present five-year re-
armament program will cost seven and a
half billion dollars, or about as much as
that country spent during the four years of
the WorldRWar Most other nations, m
Guiding the United States, are spending
vast sums in preparation for war, and what
all this may lead to- is sickening to think
about

WHY PAY TAXES?

Philip Guedalla, noted English author,
speaking recently in Washington expressed
amazement at the attitude of Americans
toward taxation and their total lack of a
feeling of responsibility for meeting the
problems the nation faces.
He referred more than once to the to-
tai unawareness of the social necessity for
taxation and failure to realize that it is
simpler to pay money over to the Govern
ment in taxes than to have it taken away
by man with a gun" He explained that
the British pay uncomplainihgly because
they realize it is the only orderly solution
of social problems.
