Wo will be burdened for several generatlons with taxes on this account. “The oil steal affecting our Navy | is now shaking our government to | its very foundation, and our people | aro beginning to wonder who can be ! trusted. Death Penalty Favored. | “This bill will overcome the desire in the future of the interests to see ‘war, and if the death penalty is in- flicted in one or two cases for viola- tions in the event of war it will re- move the true cause for much of-the present high taxes.
