C.—In a recent speech on war taxation, just published in the Congressional Record, Congress- sented these figures on war profits of American manufacturers: “In the pre-war years 1911, 1912 and 1913 the average net income of the corporations of this country was $4,122,000,000. In 1915 it was $5,310,~ 000,000, an increase of over. $1,000,- | 000,000. After paying their taxes they had over $1,000,000,000 clear net profit more than the pre-war year average. In 1916 they had $8,765,- 000,000 of net income, over $4,500,- 000,000 more than in the pre-war years. After paying all their income taxes~and all other taxes they had clear net over 100-per cent more than they had during the pre-war period. “In 1917, according to treasury es- timates upon the returns so far tabu- lated, the net income will reach $10,- 500,000,000, about $6,500,600,000 more _than in the pre-war period. After pay- ing all the taxes of that year they then have over 100 per cent more than the pre-war profits. “After paying the taxes levied by this bill, the income tax on corpora- tions and excess profits or war profits tax on corporations, there will be left Ward WOrk-a-Ford 00 8 lzh. ldn'g‘“ for less than the cost o engine in the world— it wfll outlue the car — and t as well eave your money and use it to all your farm work.

NO MILITARISM FOR ENGLISH SCHOOLS Detatled reports from London re- garding the new education act which parliament has passed, remodeling from the ground up England’s entire educational system, show one striking omission, an omission upon which Americans may well ponder. The act contains no provision what- soever for compulsory military train- ing, .~ From hne point of view it is a mag- nificent tribute to the sound English spirit. Even in the midst of war, with Germany a stone’s throw away, Eng- land can study her educational prob- lems coolly and decide quietly to keep her schools as trammg centers for in- dividualism plus service, rather than, in a panic, to sacrifice them to the Prussian system of military drill. And it is all the more striking be- cause England, like America, has had various strenuous organizations dedi- cated to the job of fastening military training upon the school system. They have been well financed and have held meetings and; distributed literature showing the horrors of life thhout . military training; they have had ques- tions “put” in the house and, in gen- eral, have betrayed a fine zeal on be- half of their propaganda. But H. A. L. Fisher, the minister of education, told .a’delegation from the Miners’ Federa- tion- some months ago that the gov-: ernment had canvassed the question of compulsory military drill for the secondary schools” and had decided ‘that the innovation had 'neither edu- cational nor military value and would " not be adopted. -Mr. Fisher has proved as good as his word. The education act, which sweeps out of ~existence 11 ' edu- cational acts and repeals parts of 11 others, provides: for . compul- sory education up to 14 ‘years. Be- tween the ages of 14 and 18 all Eng- lish boys and girls must attend either the regular schools or, if they are S | obliged to work, then they must at- i ‘tend contmuatmn schools” and their | employers must help to make that school attendance possible. .
