There seems to be a general agreement that the measure, on the) whole, is well framed, based on sound | principles of economics and dividing} the burdens about as fairly as may be expected among the different classes of citizens. Changes of detail will be made, but on the whole it will probably go thru pretty much as it) stands now. The fact that this is! the greatest revenue measure in hu-| man history should in itself fix pub-| lic attention. It provides for the raising, next year, of the stupendous sum of $24,000.000,000. That is half as much wealth as the whole na- tion produces in a year. That is to s@y, as a nation we shall be expected to turn over, in some form or other, half of all we earn. Two-thirds of that amount will be in the form of Liberty Loans. Thet | is, we shall have to buy $16,000,000,-} 000 worth of Liberty Bonds and. Thrift Stamps. .The other $8,000,-/ 000,000 willbe raised by taxation;) we shall have to pay it all out of| our pockets in cash. | Every citizen will do well to study) the tax methods and the items that particularly affect him. Every citi- zen will do well, too, to figure out his share 9f the taxes, income and! otherwise, and his share of the new Liberty Loans. Every one must con-! tribute his just part of those twenty-)| four thousands of millions of dol-| lars. Every citizen is personally re-| sponsible for financing the war. Having got those facts ¢learly in mind, we can come down to brass tacks and figure out just how we’re going to provide our share of the money. It will take considerable re-| arrangement of personal and house-! hold budgets, and the sooner we be-| gin the better. ————0-— > OUR WOMAN-POWER | The man-power of the United) States has already met considerable | demands, and will be subjected to a much heavier drain when the new registration law becomes effective. Several million men will soon be ab- sent from their ordinary productive occupations. “Millions more will be) engaged in employment outside their normal activity. t Our woman-power, as Bernard M. Baruch, chairman of the war indus-| tries board, points out, is at yet practically untapped. Our women have been rendering noble service in their voluntary war activities—Red | Cross work and all the rest. They} have been filtering into men’s places} in almost countless occupations, as the men joined the army and navy. But the movement has been com- paratively slow. There has been no economic mobilization of women comparable ‘to the military mobiliza-| tion of the men. | ‘“The women of the United States are willing and capable of everything they may be called upon to do,” says} Mr. Baruch, “and the time is fast ap- proaching when they must be mobil-| _ ized more effectively than at pres- | ent.”” | We shall, in this matter, merely re- peat the experience of our European | allies. We shall not need to put) quite such heavy burdens on our CELEBRATES BIRTHDAY IN GREAT VICTORY OVER FOE AT ST, MIHIEL — General Pershing, just before the great crush and crash of the great driye in France, had a picture of himself taken for Senator and Mrs. Francis E. Warren in regulation uniform. The picture shows him in the fine physical condition in which he entered the struggle, as well as revealing the wear and tear of 15 months of warfare have left him resolute, hopeful and undismayed. In a communication to Senator Warren he said that the war must and will be won and that he thanks God that he is at the front where he is permitted to do his best. The manner in which he exemplified that sentiment runs thru late dispatchgs from the battlefront in front of the great German fortress of Metz. General Pershing is 58 years old today and the great victory of American arms constitutes a fitting celebration of this event. A chronological review of his life follows: 1860—Born at Laclede, Linn county, Missouri. 1866—Graduated from Unit- ed States Military acad- emy. 1887—Complimented by Ggn- eral Miles for “march- ing his troop, with pack train, over rough coun- try, 146 miles in 46 hours, bringing in every animal and man in good condition.” 1890—Transferred to North- west and took part in campaign against Sioux tribes. 4 1891—AMilitary instr&tor for three years at University of Nebraska. 189%—Instructor in tactics at United States Military Academy. 1898—Promoted for gallantry at battle of El Caney in Cuba. 1899—Assigned to duty in the Philippines, where in a three-year campaign he completely subdued the rebellious Moros. 1905—Married Frances H. Warren, daughter of the United States senator from Wyoming. (Mrs. Pershing and three daughters perished in the Presidio fire at San Francisco in 1915.) 1906—Military attache of the American embassy at Tokio, Japan. Accom- panied the Japanese army in Manchuria as observer. 1906—Appointed as brigadier general by Pres. Roose- velt over 862 officers. this time as governor of Moro 1906—Again assigned to the, Philippines, province. 1914—Returned to United States and stationed for a time in California. 1916—Given command of tae puhitive'ex edition in Mexico.

A na-) tive of England, she became the wife of Ballington Booth in 1886, and a year later came to the United States to work with her husband in charge of Salvation Army interests. In 1896 the couple left the Salvation Army and founded the Volunteers of Amer- ica. Mrs. Booth, early in her resi- dence in America, became interested in the welfare of prison inmates, di- rectnig her efforts particularly to- ward helping them to become respec- table and self-supporting members of society after their release from prison. At present Mrs. Booth is urging the United States Govern- ment, under proper restrictions and| with carefully prepared tests, to use a large‘ proportion of the inmates of| the prisons of the country as men} enlisted to fight against Germany. Mrs. Taliaferro opened the meet- ing by asking the women to repeat address of greeting, which was a mes- doubled zeal on the part of the women of our state. Governor Frank L. Houx followed Mrs. Taliaferro with a talk which should, put heart into our efforts. Women of the land have always borne the burden of war and more than their share of sorrow. The pa- triotic spirit displayed by the women of Wyoming, here for the Fourth Liberty loan, was no surprise to Gov- ernor Houx, who congratulated the women on their marvelous work in GEOLOGICAL WORK Maps and Blue Prints, Surveying Wyoming Map and Blue Print Co., P.
