We have prepared to dedicate and are now dedicating to this cause the full measure of our devotion. No hand ‘ig unwilling, nor is one heart reluctant to do what can be done. Business men are forfeiting large incomes and young men are sacrificing their most cherished ambitions in order that they may offer their lives to their country. Moth- ers are giving théir sons to the nation and wives are bidding their husbands God-speed, as they sail for France. Millions of Americans are facing tasks today that are new, and hard, and bitter, and are facing them with a smile. The one great question on the lips of every man and woman is, “What can I do to help? What part am I to play? What share—-what mite—of sacrifice and service can I con- tribute to my country and my flag?”’ Sometimes this question is answered wit han opportunity fraught with danger and filled with corresponding glory. Far oftener the part assigned to us is inconsiderable: the buying of a bond perhaps, or possibly the mere payment of a tax. Nevertheless, to play a small, an unremembered and incon- spienous part in the winning of this great world conflict is a rare and splendid privilege. Even that most prosaic duty payment ef a tax—becomes an actual and an honorable service. Wor new levies must and will be made upon our purses, and we are doing a patriotic duty if we meet them cheerfully and willingly. Last year five hundred thousand individuals paid a tax upon their incomés. This year six million -Ameriean citi- zens will be ealled upon to shoulder for the first time this new burden of taxation. S Shall we, however, call this a burden? Is it then a burden to support.the great institutions in America that protect. and shelter us? Can it be a burden to uphold the arms of our president in a cause that is just? Will we nanie that a burden which helps our country earry on a war that is untainted by selfish aimg and ambitions—a war that is a crusade to establish and permanently to insure the freedom of all the nations of the earth? Some may eall this a burden, but there are those, and they are legion, who will accept this new tax as a new opportunity for sacrifice and for service,“a rare occasion for showing the government that its citizens recognize the great purposes of this war and that they will back the government in this supreme enterprise to their last dollar. For America now stands at the supreme moment of her history. She has been chosen as the keystone in the great arch of civilization. Her strong arm and fertile brain, her great wealth and vast resources, must bear the measured att of the mightiest, the blackest, the most sinister and most diabolical military machine that ever destroyed the peace of the world and challenged its freedom. America’s great hour has struck, The tragedy and ruin of her failure would be as great, as com- plete, as irrevocable as the glory of her sucess. The flood-tide of her affairs has set in and to take it_at the full demands the brave-hearted loyalty and heroic self-effacing patriotism of izen, Not 2 grudging loyalty that. reluctantly does its legal and’ bounden duty. For a stingy and niggardly that cools-when its pocketbook and comforts are touched, a loyalty that does not. burn more brightly with cach new and necessary sacrifice; is the loyalty of a soul that is dead. America could not, command a loyalty so complete or in- spire a devotion so single and so fervid if its cause were not so sacred. It is but a short time ago that our president restated @ the prompt, ungrudging every ¢! the noble aims for which we are striving—‘The eyes of the people have been opened,’’ he said, ‘and they see. The hand of God is laid upon the nations. Our-ecause is just and holy— for this we entered the war and for this eause will we battle until the last gun is fired.”’ The ears of the world are accustomed to the boasts of war- lords who draw their swords for brutal and selfish ends, but it is new to hear a eall to battle voiced in such phrases as these and the other sublime passages of the president’s reeent mes- sage to congress. : With these high words ringing in our ears, with our spirits and the spirit of the nation bathed and glorified by this exalted idealism, could the least of us be recreant to his hum- blest duty—the payment of a tax—and so forfeit his share in the heritage of glory that will inevitably come to our great country? No, not the least of us, for, of a certainty, there is no citizen who is unwilling to render to the nation the things that are the nation’s. Assuredly there is not a man who would permit the government to use any portion of that energy that it should and must give to this life-and-death struggle, in making him pay a tax that he is legally bound to pay, anyway. We know there is not, for such a man would be as base an enemy to his country as if he were to stand in a German trench and shoot a bullet straight to the heart of an American soldier. This, then, is a call on every American subject to the income tax to meet without delay the necessities of his govern- ment in its great task of accomplishing the freedom of the world. If every unmarried man with an income of $1,000 or more, and every married man with an income of $2,000 or more, will take prompt steps to make report to the govern- ment, he will perform an inestimable service to the United States and to its treasury department. This department is already laboring under the extraordi- nary difficulties imposed by the war. By giving it his hearty ‘co-operation each citizen will be doing his share at least to case its burden ‘arid to lighten the heavy responsibilities of the new commissioner of internal revenue, who, many say, is the most. able and most’ efticient head that this important branch of the government has éver had. It is true, of course, that we are carrying a great burden of taxation, but we are poor business men if we regard these taxes as money lost. .They are but the premiums we are pay- ing on the greatest insurance of all times—insurance against the conditions now ruling in Russia, insurance that will pro- teet and preserve our families, our property, our lives, our ideals, all that we are and all that we hope to be. Think of Belgium systematieally ruined, think of Poland devastated and laid waste, think of Armenia, a nation massacred and mur- dered by an ally of the Huns. Think on these things, and then remember that every dollar of taxes you pay into the treasury of the United States places another barrier between your Joved ones and such unspeakable horrors as these. The payment of the income tax is the present duty—the splendid privilege—of six million citizens, No loyal American will fail to give immediate answer to the call. For at this time of great peril and pressing, danger, when. the battle-line and frontier of civilization will soon be held by a million of our beloved sons, even the least failure to do promptly a simple and single duty might easily prove to be a deed that would follow us with shame to the end of our days. Let every American citizen whose income is not exempt act now—today—and so write his name on the records as one who is willing to pay the price of liberty ‘andjof, honor, From The Lite! i est for January 12, 1918.
