SCRIPPS, founder of the i ipps papers, of which The Star is one. “With the conscription of men must come, and will come, the ription of wealth. The blood of the widow's son must not be —OLE HANSON, in his speech at the Arena meet- « y Saturday night. ~ Democracy against autocracy! That is the issue of the war, and let not be a mere phrase that fall from orator’s lips. Let it be a reality. The democratic method of conducting a war is to make those who most able to bear its burdens, pay its costs. Phe physically able must ¢ the sacrifice at the front. The financially able must, in addition this, contribute the financial costs. The old method—the autocratic method the method sought by money thru the issuance of bonds. That meant the creation of a national debt, a load under which future generations, as well as present, would stagger. The founder of the Scripps papers, offering more than half of his income, has Ublicly asked for a law confiscating for the war all incomes above $100,000, This may not be enough to pay the expense. If npt, all incomes over $50,000 d be taken for war purposes. If more is needed, why not tax all incomes between $25,000 and $50,000, 50 ir cent; incomes between $10,000 and $25,000, 25¢ per cent; incomes betwe 5,000 and $10,000, 10 per cent; incomes between $2,500 and $5,000, 5 per cent? The cheers that greeted Hanson's statement against permitting any protil ce to the Scripps offer—showed clearly the temper and the demand of this mocratic people and age. wer) yd Star Is “Scooped” RHE STAR was “scooped” Saturday Guarantee Bond Necessary | I r concrete pa ntract fc awarding the ¢ When the United States congress de g over three miles ¢ ne Pa gl war on Germany the military authori- way, the ers ought not Tequested that newspapers refrain from werk ok t ua bond ishing certain news concerning the move- USUally accompanies sv h_ contract ( ent of troops.
