" To raise two .billions of extra reve nue congress seems willing' to levy tax-as in any way except the only one that will prove no burden to labor. v The committee on ways and means recommends heavily increased taxes on Industry, increased taxes on In comes, regardless of whethor they be earned or unearned; increased taxes on execss profits, regardless of whether they be due to extraordinary service on the part of the recipient, or to extraordinary predatory power possessed by him; and a lot of new taxes which must fall to a consider able extent on consumption. But one source of revenue the committee overlooked. It has paid no attention to land values at all. To be sure the Income tax falls to some extent on ground rents, but only on ground rents, for land In use. Land withheld from use, however, valu able it may bo, is exempt. This dis criminates ' against the land owner who does not entirely forbid use of his property. : At the very, time when a crop shortage threatens and people are be ing urged on all sides to plant on every bit of vacant space, the ways and means committee deliberately frames a bill, that continues encour agement to owners of idle land, lo keep It out of use. A substitute for the bill framed by the committee has been Introduc ed by Congressman Crosser, of Ohio. H provides for a tax on land values, largo enough to raiBe the $2,000,- 000)000 needed. If passed, It will foreeiinto use every bit of valuable land now withheld. It will not prove a bur-d'en to a single useful Industry. It will be in the nature of a levy on . citizens in accordance with benefits received from the government. Us superiority over the ways and moans committee's bill is so obvious, that there Is no reason why It should not be passed. But congrosB Is not In the habit of giving the best bill the preference. Perhaps this will prove no exception. FROM THOSE WHO HAVE. The house has voted a surtax of 4 5 per cent per annum on all In comes of more than $1,000,000. The tax could have beon made heavier with perfect Justice. It will Ibo proportionately a smaller sacrifice than tho common man muBt make. Even before war prices came the common man's Income barely met the monthly outgo. Tho common man was practically on a bread ration be fore America entered the war. Thore is hardly an average salaried head of a family who is not now compelled to curtail his dally diet in order to cope with tho problem of ever advancing food inricos. It Is not. so with tho man with an Income of ovor a million. If tho war tnx takes but half his rovenuea ho still has an Income of half a mil lion a year on which he can live quite comfortably. Even If the government conscripted all but $100,000 of his Income Ins case In life compared with the struggles of the half submcrgod millions would be luxurious. War Is a lovolor. It disjoints and dislocates all the customs and poli cies usual to jicnco. Money, monoy, money Is Jts Irresistible demand; money, money, money with which to feed the Moloch of battle. Tho money must cqmo from those who have It, It Is their sacrifice, their cntrlbutlon. It cannot . come from thoso who have it not. And the limine Is sound in lis insistence that It come from thoso who have. PAY EXPECTED FOR The Eugene Guard speaks as fol lows of the pay of the artillery com panies in tliat city: National guard pay automatically doubled with the Increase In regular army pay. Units of the guard are paid one-fourth the pay of regular army men. Thirty dollars a month Is the pay for a private in the regulars. Accordingly, national guardsmen will get $7.60 a -month folk their four drills. The second1 company receiv ed pay for drill six months previous to January, 117, last Saturday.
