tent"

We cannot control the greed and
self1shness Of foreign nations" he
asserted, ''but we can and must
control and safeguard our own re.

So, when Congress passed the Con-
scription Act
Every honest-to- God American, who
is proud to be one
Who can think often enough in the
same place to know why
Mods his head, quietly, and is ready
to take his medicine
All out of the same big bottle
Conscription is really tax
1t is the power to tax, carried to the
last notch
Men, and nowadays women, too, are
a military necessity
So government calls on those who
have the man-power, to pay
For that is the principle on which
all taxation must proceed
Otherwise tax collectors would not
collect very much
But this conscription is for War
And you don't go to War without
guns

PREDICT new JOBS
FOR IDLE WORKERS

Washington, d. C.-Adminlstratlon
economists made Labor Day pre-
diction that the national defense pro-
gram, with conscription included,
would cut unemployment in half by
July /, reducing the number OF JOB
less from 100000 to 4,50O,50O, ac-
cording to the Associated Press.
They said that they expected
gradual, sustained pickup in indus
trial employment to provide jobs for
more than 100000 men in the next
ten months. Mobilization of the Ma
tional Guard and the start of selectlve
service assuming favorable Congress
sional action on the latter measure
would account for another 100000
reduction in unemployment by late
spring, they estimated.
In the case of compulsory military
training, the jobless total may be re-
duced both by drafting unemployed
youths and by the hiring of men with
out work to fill jobs vacated by en-
ployed conscripts.
Manufacture of uniforms and equip
ment for the men in training is ex-
pected to employ thousands. Plane
factories, shell plants, tank manufac-
turing and scores of other industries
are listed as new employment oppor-
tunities.

We have seen what happened wher

Man-power, and gun-power, must
be formed, fed, trained, renewed.
So, government proposes to apply
taxation all along the line

Some others, unable to pay in man.

Object to paying in properties,

Prating loudly about patriot

These gentry protest against pay
ing the taxes which they can pay
Some even call it "socializing'
property
When they are taxed for the pur-
poses of war
But that kind of people. always have
hated to pay their taxes
Don't let the word "conscription'
fool you
America is accepting the challenge
Of it's way of life
Americans are willing to enlist, OF
to accept conscription-
For the defense of American soil,
freedom, institutions
Property" does not enlist, nor is it
"conscripted"-
But in whatever orderly fashion
may be decided upon
American men, and American re-
sources, will be dedicated
To meet the enemy's challenge
And to make good the American
defense.

MORE JOBS FOR GIRLS

Cleveland, Ohio.-A big Cleveland
hotel announces it is employing girl
elevator operators for the first time
because of the increase in jobs in de-
fense industries. Fifteen men had left
elevator posts for jobs in the metal
trades in the last few months. 1t was
possible to fill the vacancies with other
men, the manager explained, but the
hotel considered this not feasible.
since the new employees probably
would be lured to defense jobs before
they could be trained.
Sure, the boss has a snap ;. all
he has to do is worry.

Riehet said the first dose had
