HOW MUCH TO GIVE.
In the current Issue of The New
Republic there Is printed a letter
from Dr. J. Barr, of Redmond, dis
cussing the proper amount to be con
tributed by an Individual toward the
various war purposes for which funds
are now being sought. The letter
contains an idea which is well worth
consideration. Dr. Barr writes:
"I was much interested In your ar
ticle, 'How Much Ought One to Con
tribute?' It seems to me that as the
voluntary enlistment of men was a
failure and is now generally consid
ered to be unfair so ds the voluntary
enlistment of money unfair and per
haps doomed to failure. But if the
government considers it impossible or
ill advised to conscript money some
such plan as Is mentioned in the ar
ticle should be worked out and used
by propagandists in Liberty Loan,
Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. campaigns.
I agree that incomes form the only
fair basis for contributions. As the
government has imposed a wide In
come tax and most people will knew
within a short time just what (heir
tax will amount to, would It not be
possible to pro rate contributions to
tax paid? Then, for instance, every
man would know how many hundred
dollar Liberty Bonds he should take
out of every billion offered for every
ten dollars that he has paid as income
tax. In like manner he would know
what his fair contribution should be
for every million asked by the Red
Cross or Y. M. C. A. A budget could
be prepared and everyone would
know what would be expected of
bim."

A QUIET PLACE.
A thin, sickly, man entered one of
the stores in one of our email towns
recently and quietly seated himself
on a convenient chair. One of the
clerks approached and asked if he
wished to purchase anything. 'Oh.
no," said the man, "I just dropped in
lor a few minutes." After an hour
had passed, the manager of the store,
becoming curious, approached him
and asked him what could be done
for. "Why, nothing that I know of,"
ald the man, "You see I have nerv
ous prostration and the doctor told
me to stay in a quiet place. Noticing
that you do not advertise, I thought
thia would be about the quietest place
I could find." Let me tell you It was
anything but quiet there for a few
minutes. The poor man found him
self In the street wishing that he had
landed on a feather bed. But the next
week the store surprised itself with
a big display ad In the home paper.
