Thers can be no question but what sibles are doing everything er to accomplish what is them. There has been, but a smail part of the time the unrestricted warfare was put into, effect that they have come up to expectaiions. They have caused no small amount of embarrassment d terror but they are far from get- ting the allies down onto their knees and at the present rate of progress will never be able to accomplish their purpose. Every day brings the allies so much nearer to the time when they can put a greater fleet into operation and greater effectiveness is being shown by the armed liners daily, so that with the help which this country is giving Germany is slowly but sure- Iy being driven to a recognition of its position. And this is particularly true now that Russia has returned to however, since | cent. 1its that | THE WAR TAX BILL. The war taxation bill has never ceased to be of interest to those who are going to be called upon to con- tribute their share thereto. It has been receiving less attention for the past few days while the food meas- ure has been getting the right of way, but the senate finance committee has been at work never- theless and the bill in revised form as presented to the upper house will be much different than that which has had the attention of the lower hody. Tn the senate the effort has been made to overcome some of the incom- sistencies of the house bill. There fs 2 stronz feeling that, while evervone must do his part and there will be many wavs in which he will feel it, the big burden should be placed upon wealth. and this is fully disclosed when it is estimated that fully two- thirds of the revenue to be derived by the measure as framed in the san- ate, will come from the taxes on in- comes and the excess profits. There has been a change made in the stamp tax proposal, levies of five per cent. on gross sales of manufac- tured goods have been eliminated as has the plan for retroactive taxes on last year's incomes, tosether with the general ten per cent. increase of du- { ties on imports. There is a prohibi- tive tax on distilled liquors and in- creased taxes on other intoxicants, while taxes have been placed on the corsumption of sugar, tea, coffee and cocoa. but provision for making up for the losses has been made by the excess profits tax according to a araduated scale ranging from 12 per on profits not exceeding 15 per cent. of normal. up to 40 per cent. on profits of more than 150 per cent. above normal. This is intended to zet substantial revenue from the war profits and it must be appreciated that there is where a large slice of the income should be obtained from instead of exacting heavy amounts m normal business operations. Tt not to he supposed that the senate will consider the programme cntirely satisfactory as it comes from th> committee but it is probable that final bill will be more nearly on lines than on thosé proposed by the house. fr MUST LOOK TO THE ALLIES. in ection with tho manner in which the PBritish report charges Hoi- conn iand and the Scandinavian countrics with obtaining foodstuffs from country and sending them or equivalent to Germany, the claim is put forward that they are being forced to send such goods to Ge: { many in order that they may obtain their needed amount of coal and pos- sibly other things from Germany. Trade between Holland and Ger- many of course is easy. It is not so very difficult between the Seardinav- ian’ countries and Germany and for evervthing whieh they get from Ger- many it can be appreciated that Ber- lin is going to exact that which will problem of getting it transported. The neutrals can. have their needs met in ¢ respect by PBngland as well as br Germany. and if the neutrals can not get their foodstuffs in sufficion: quantity from this country with wi to pay for their coal from G they will be expected to loo! allies. Such of:course would be of no benefit to the -entente but it wouild | mean a serious!blow to Germany if it cannot zet thethelp which is now zo- ing to it frem this country throush | the neutrals. It would thus be for i the interests of the allies to undertak to handle this fuel problem of the neutrals. EDITORIAL NOTES. The man on the corner says: Prob- {ably the most satisfactory self made I'man is the fellow who isn't too well satisfied with himself. There can be no doubt henceforth but what there can be a safe and sane celebration ‘of the Fourth if | there is the disposition cery consumer jumps at the pros- pects of lower food and fuel prices like a robin for a biz fat worm. Get- ting them, however, is another propo- sition. There can be no question but what the Red Cross has bezen given much of the money which would under nor- mal conditions have been spent on the | Fourth. | | 1 | The fact that all the ships bearing | American troops reached France safe- Iv was in no way due to a lack of in- terest on the part of the German sub- | marines. On the night before and throughout the day, the evidence goes to prove that there was a thorough understand- ing of the fact that the Fourth was to be safe and sane. When captured German officers de- clare that England is under the con- trol of Germany, since Londory has been captured, it shows how little the subjects of that ecountry know about what is going on in the outside world. Looked at from the standpoint of the coal barons it is a tremendous sacrifice which they are making by siving up the robber business and engaging in legitimate business trans- actions. Tt may be all right for a nation which buys of one belligerent and seils to its enemy to ciass itseif as a neutral, but that bellizerent isn't obliged to supply the goods for such trade, however much the uitimate con- sumer mav be anxious to get them and the trade eager to gather in the sheckels. | be of the greatest value to Germany. 17t can of course demand foodstuffs for coal. It can insist upon the sending of rubber or needed metals to Ger- many in return for the fuel which permitted to leave German territory. but it. must be appreciated that if those countrics are going to contrib- uts such aid to one of the belliger- ents jt must be understood that tha rents on the other side not Zoing to he forced into partinz with!; ; supplies that Germany mav be|j the gainer, even thoush the pretsxt s that it is vital to the welfare of the neutral The question of fuel among the en- tente allies is not so serious as is th “Will you drive over to Madison with me to-day?’ asked Miss Belin- da’s brother as they rose from the breakfast table. “It's a fine day for motoring. ““Wish I could, Ben.
