Pub- lished every Thursdsy and sent postage paid to any address for, in HOW WILL IT BE RAISED? In discussing the question of raising the enormous amounts of revenue necessary even during the coming twelve months, an exchange after dem- onstrating the utter impossibility of raising the vast amount by taxation, and the corresponding necessity of resorting to bond issues, concludes as follows: “In a sentence, unless the big loans are balanced with heavy taxes upon those who are making money out of the war, we will rapidly and inevitably reach a state of financial, industrial and social chaos.” The conclusion is inevitable to the candid person who will give the question unbiased thought. Based on the probability of a need of from fifteen to twenty billion dollars by this time next summer, the demand would mean from $600 to $750 for each of the twenty million families that make up the nation. It can be seen at a glance that this can never be even approximately dis- tributed among the masses. Possibly a few more billions may be secured through popular subscription, but the great bulk of the required means must come, as our contemporary suggests, from those who are MAKING MONEY OUT OF THE WAR. If the war continues for even two years longer there will be fortunes made that will dwarf any the world has yet seen, provided business is allowed to take its hitherto uninterrupted course. While it is true we i will spend prodigious amounts, it is equally true that we will make fabul- & ous amounts. The allied nations are practically at our mercy for food i and other supplies. Huge revenues are comstantly coming from that il source. Not a dollar’s worth of any commodity that can be used by man 1 need go to waste in the United States for want of a foreign market. It is up to our government to correctly analyze the situation and place the burdens of taxation to meet these great national expenditures upon the shoulders of THOSE WHO BENEFIT BY WAR PRICES. ‘Will our law makers arise to the occasion and make an equitable ad- justment of these burdens? Along with some very common, we have some really good timber in our national legislature, and it is to be hoped that this material will insist upon a reasonable and just basis for work- ing out this momentous question. APPRECIATION, AT LEAST (8t. Paul Dispatch) i The members of the varfous draft exemption boards are discharging a | i very trying and arduous patriotic duty which in instances subjects them g to an amount of criticism. As a matter of fact, these men are justly entitled to the thanks of their communities. Though their qualifications were in most cases passed upon with great care they are volunteers in the good cause, laboring day and night at a task which indifferent men would shirk and from which less courageous men would shrink. The fearless and conscientious discharge of their duty must inevitably make them tar- gets of criticism and the more zeal and impartiality they exhibit fhe more vigorously will be the criticism from affected sources. It must be as- sumed throughout that every decision by the boards is an intelligent and careful following of the law—that the members are doing their duty as they see it, influenced by only proper and correct considerations. In this view, which assuredly is the right view, the board members are discharg- ing an important and valuable public service and all they can get in re- turn, beside the approval of their consciences, is the appreciation of the public. Undoubtedly they are,entitled to that thankful appreciation. JEANNETTE LEARNED SOMETHING Congresswoman Jeannette Rankin of Montana went to Butte to make a personal investigation of the labor troubles between the miners and mine owners there. Jeannette no doubt labored under the impression she would be received like a Joan of Are, but the fair Jeannette in Con- gress denounced to the best of her abilitv the mine owners of Montana and when the labor unions refused to listen to her she no doubt learned something. Such work, it would seem, is not for woman, although there are many other lines of public endeavor where they excel. The action of Pope Benedict in promulgating a plan for world peace by the United States and her allies yet and these countries are going to sgettle them. And when they are settled Germany will be made to atone for her atrocities and not be allowed to continue her policies. As to a peace settlement, Germany's word a mounts to nothing as shown by her having declared her former treaties ‘‘scraps of paper.” Prussianism must go. _— Come out tonight to the Grand theater and show the enemies of the United States that Bemidji people are, with mighty few exceptions, fer their home country and the flag that protects them.
