EIGHT. BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUN: ONE OF EVERY 90 BARBERRIES COMING ALIVE Ground from Which the Bushes Were Rooted Last Year Should Be Gone Over DAMPNESS AID TO RUST One out of every twenty barberry bushes rooted out last year is sprout- ing again, John N. Hagan, commission- er of agriculture and labor, is advised by his field agents. Very few old! bushes have been discovered this year, but Mr. Hagan urges the necessity of going carefully over the ground that wastreed of the barberry last year to make sure that no stray root was left in to sprout and endanger this year’s wheat crop. “Present conditions are conduct: to rust,” said Mr. Hagan toda “This murky weather causes to root spores to thrive, and, were the wheat a little further along, great damage would result from winds scattering these spores, had any been carried over the winter. Scientists have dem- onstrated to their own satisfaction that the barberry bush is the only plant which caries rust spores over the winter. They will not survive on the wheat stubble, and if he eradicate the barberry bush, we may feel reason- able safe trom this pest. “We ure again meeting with ex- cellent cooperation in our campaign against the barberry. The bush does not grow wild, and is confined prin- cipally to hedges in the cities and on some of the older farms in the Red River valley and as far north as Cros- by. It has been demonstrated that the rust spores, carried over the win- ter on barberry bushes, will travel miles with the wind. ‘If the weather is dry, the spores do not readily at- tack the wheat stem, but if soft and murky, the rust particles at once be- gin eating through the stock, and, as they 7et in their work, they germinate more spores, which attack other stalks until a very short time an entire field may be infected. We do not anticipate serious trouble this s but it wil pay Dakota to be cautious, and to show the common barberry bush no mercy if they discover it on their premise: Douglas Fairbanks In Triangle Play, “The Americano,” at the Orpheum theatre tonight. Try to get in. oillions now provided for by taxation will not of themselves Sustain the greatly enlarged budget to which we must immediately look forward. We cannot in fairn wait until the end of the fiscal year is at hand to ap praise our people of the taxes they must pay on thei rearnings of the present calendar year, whose account- ings and expenditures will then be closed. We cannot get increased tax. es unless the country knows what they are to be and practices the ne- cessary economy to make them avail- able. Detiniteness, early definiteness, as to what tasks are to be is ab- solutely necessary for the uccessful adminitration of the treasury; it can- not frame fair and workable regula- tions in hi ; and it must frame it’s regulations in haste if it is not to know it's exact task until the very eve o fit’s performance. The present tax laws are marred. moreover, by inequi- ties which ought to be remedied. 1n- disputable facts, every one! and we cannot alter or blink them. To state them is argupment enough. “And yet perhaps you will permit me to dwell for a moment upon the situation they disclose. Enormous loans freely spent in the stimulation of industry of almost every sort pro- duce inflations and extravagances which presently make the whole eco- nomic structure questionable and in- secure and the very basis of credit is BACKS McADOO IN OPPOSITION TO PARTY WHIPS): Ss would be a z profits, lu uries and the so-called non-essentials. Takes Charge. . President Wilson personally ‘ook charge of the war tax legislation tan- gle today, and appearing unexpectedly before a joint session of congress. declared it was necessary to p immediately with new war tax laws. The president called upon congress to eliminate politics from the consid- eration. Politics, he said, is ‘“‘ad- journed.” The principal increases in taxation, the president said, should be on incomes, war profits, and lux- uries. Plans, which might have delayed the work, which involved a working agree- ment between the parties, have fallen through, ‘the president told the legis: lators, and there was no way to meet the problem of financing the war, but to have congress remain in seccion and go ahead at once. The president was : greeted with cheers when in his speech he intimat- ed ‘that new revenue would be drawn pon war profits, incomes and luxur- es. The crowded galleries and the house pnd senate cheered when he declared that hundreds of thousands of Ameri- can troops in the field and ships are crowding to the front with regiment after regiment to join them “until the enemy shall be beaten and brought to a reckoning with mankind.” , Majority Leader Kitchin as chair- man of the house ways and means committee. which wil immediately begin plans for the revenue legisla- tion and Chairman Simmions of the senate finance committee held a con- ference immediately after the speech to discuss framing the legislation. Republican Leader Gillett of the house haid of the speech: “Everybody will agree on the three subéjcts of taxation outlined in the message—income, excess profits anc luxuries. J am in thorough accora with the policy he announced. We alt wish to provide all the revenue that is needed.” To Prolong Session. The president's address follows: “Gentlemen of the Congress: “It is with unaffected reluctance that I come to ask you to prolong your session long enough to provide more adequate —_—reasurses for the conduct of the war, 1 have reason to appreciate as fully as you do how arduous the session has ‘been. Your labors have been severe sand protracted. You have passed a long series of measures which re- quired the debate of many doubtful questions of judgment and many ex. ceedingly difficult questions of prin- ciple as well as of practice. The summer is upon us, in which labor and counsel are twice arduous and are constantly apt to be impaired by lassi- tudes and fatigue. The elections are at hand and we ought as soon as pos sible to go and render an intimate ac- j}eut away. | 1s | | | Only fair, equitably dis- tributed taxation of the widest inci- dence and drawing chiefly from the s which would be likely to de- lize credit by their very abund- can prevent inflation and keep our industrial system free of specu- lation and waste. We shall naturally turn, therefore, I suppose to war prof- its and incomes and luxuries for the additional taxes, bupt the war profits and incomes ‘upon which the increased taxes will be levied will be the profits and incomés of the calendar year 1918. It would be manifestly unfair to wait until early months of 1919 to v what they are to be.. It might be difficult I should imagine to run the mill with water that had already gone over the wheel. “Moreover, ‘taxes of that sort will not be paid until the June of next year and the treasury must anticipate them. It must use the money they are to produce before it is due. It must sell short ‘time certificates of indebt- edness. In the autumn a much larger sale of long time bonds must ibe ef- fected than has yet sbeen attempted. What are the bankers to think of the certificates if they do not certainly know where the money is to come from which is to take them up? And how are investors to approach the purchase of bonds with any sort of confidence and knowledge of their own affairs if they do not know what takes they are ‘to pay and what econ- omics and adjustments of their busi- ness they must effect? I cannot as- sure the country of a successful ad- ministration of the treasury in 1918 if the question of further taxation is to be left undecided until 1919. “The consideration that dominates every other now, and makes every other seem trivial and negligible, is the winning of the war. We are not only in the midst of the war; we are at ‘thé very peak and crisis of it. Hun- dreds of thousands of our men, carry. ing our hearts with them and our for- tunes, are in the field and ships are crowding faster and faster to the ports ot France and England with regiment after regiment, thousand after thou. sand, to join them until the enemy shall be beaten and brought to 2 reckoning with mankind. There cat: be no pause or intermission, The great enterprise must, on the contra be pushed with greater and greater energy. The volume of our might must | steadily and rapidly be augmented un- til there can be no question of resist- ing it. If that is to be omplished, gentlemen, money must sustain it to the utmost. Our‘financial program must no more be left in doubt or suf- ‘fered to lag than our ordnance pro- gram or our Shipping program or our munitions program or our program tot making milions of men r These others are no progran indeed, but mere plans upon paper, unless there is to be an unquestionable supply ot money. “Phat is the situation, and jt is the | situation which creates the duty, no chaice of preference of ours. There is only one way to meet that duty. W must meet it without selfishness fear of consequenc: journed. The elections will go to those who think the least of it. To those who go to the constituencies without explanation Or exci with a plain record of duty faithfully and disinter- count of our trusteeship to the peo-; ple who delegated us to act for them in the worthy and anxious matters ‘that crowd upon us in these days of critical choice and action. But we dare not go to the elections until w: have done our duty to the full. Thest are days when duty stands stark naked and even with closed eyes we know it is there. Excuses are unavail- ing. We have either done our duty or we have not. The fact will be as gross and plain as the duty itself. In such a case lassitude and fatigue seem neglibibie enough. The) facts are tonic and suffice to freshen the la- bor. And the facts are these: Additional yevenues must manifestly be provided. It would 1e a-most unsound policy to raise too large a proportion of them dy loan and it is evident that the four estedly performed. I, for one, am at- confident that the people of this | coun will give a just verdict upon | the s © of the men who act tor | them when the facts are such that no }man candisguise or conceal them here is no danger of deceit now. An lintense and piteless light beats upon every man and every action in this | wagic plot of war that is now upon the | stage. If lobbyists hurry to Washing: {ton to attempt to turn what you do in ‘the matter of taxation to their protec- tion or advantage, the light Will beat also upon them. There is abundant fuel for the light in. the records of the treasury with regard to profits of every sort. The profiteering that, can- not be got at by the restraints of con: science and love of country can be got at by taxation. There is such profiteering now and the information | wa: N with regard to it .| bowels s available and in disputable, Act Now. “Tam advising you to act upon this matter of taxation now, gentlemen, not ibecause I do not know that can see and interpret the facts and they duty they impose just as well and with ar a perception of the ob- ligations involved as | can, but b cause there i -ertain solemn satis faction in sharing with you the res ponsibilities of such a time. The world never stood in such case be- fore. {Men never before had so clear or so moving a vision of duty, ¢ know that you will begrudge the work to be done here iby us no more than the men begrudge us theirs who lie in the trenches and sully forth to their death. There is stimulating com- radeship knitting 1] together. Ana this task to which I invite your im: medite consideration will be perform ed under favorable influences if we will look to what the country is think- ing and expecting and care nothing at all for what is being said and believed in the lobbies in Washington hotels, where the atmosphere seems to make it possible to ‘believe what is believed nowhere else. Spirit of Nation. “Hove you not felt the spirit of the nation rise and its thought become a single and common thought since the eventful days came in which we have been sending our boys to the other side? I think you must read that thought, as I do, to mean this, that the people of this country are not win this war, but are ready and will- ing to bear any burden and undergo any sacrifice that it may be necessary for them to bear in order to win it We need not be afraid to tax them. if we lay taxes justly. You know that the war must be paid for and that it is they who must pay for it and if the burden is justly distributed and the sacrifice made a common sacrifice from which none escapes who can bear it at all, they will carry it cheer- fully and with a sort of solemn pride. 1 have always been proud to be an American, and was never more proud than now, when all that we have said and all that we have foreseen about our people is coming true. The grea: days have come when the only thing that they ask for or admire is duty, greatly and adequately done; when their wish for America is: that she may share freedom she enjoys; when | a great, competing sympathy wells up| in their hearts for men everywhere who suffer and are oppressed and when they see at jast the high uses for which their wealth has been pilea up and their mighty power accumu- lated and countyin neither blood or treasure now that the final of oppor- tunity has come, rejoice to spend and to be spent through a long night of suffering and terror in order that they and men everywhere may see the! dawn of a day of righteousness and justice and peace. Shall wergrow weary. when they. bid us act?” ij Profigegring Evident, There is cindispytable evidence ot profiteering at,present, the president said, and he. deglared it, must be reached by the new,}égislation. “Profiteering that,canfot be got at by restraints of conscience,” said the president, “can be got at iby taxation.” “Phere need be no hesitanay in tax- ing the country,” the president told congress, “If it were taxed justly,” He appealed to congress to approack the great task without selfishness or fear of political consequences. “An intense and piteless light beats upon every man and every action in in the aragic part of war that is now upon the stage,” said the, president. Extemporans The president concluded with an ap- peal to congress,,to do its work un- guaranteg .@, Preper administration of the treasury unless he question were settled ‘at once. When he had concluded his address, the president unexpectedly made a brief extemporaneous statement, in which he said that just as he was ieaving the white house for the cap itol he had heard that the new Ger- man drive apparently had just begun and that it added to the solemnity oF his conception of the country’s duty.
