Ilka many other things American, baa been democratised alnca the war came upon ns. The income-tax-paying aristocracy has grumbled rather -ostentatiously but BeTerthelesa there haa been a little of the secret pleasure under lying It all. That la to be changed. Almost every man ran now pay his Income tax and Join tha elect. The axemption for the single man la plac ed at 11,000. The man who cannot make that sum. In these times. Is scarce. In tha care of married men. the exemption is placed at 2.000. Any axceea over' that sum is liable to a "normal tax" of four per 'cent. That la to say, the married man with an Income of $3,000 per year, will pay four per cent on the extra $1,000 or $40 per year. This normal rate pre- Talls up to the $5,000 limit. Above that Income, there are extra assess ments, or surtaxes, growing larger as the Incomes Increase In size, run ning from one per cent on Incomes from $5,000 to $7,500 up to 60 per cent on Incomes of $1,000,000. The normal rate will bring Into the tax paying circle a vast number of American citliens. The wage and Income Increase that has taken place over the land during the past two years, makes the average American one who will join this class. Thus will the war be brought home to most of us. Perhaps this Is not en tirely a burden. There are many evidences that the people of America sorely need something to liven them to a realisation of what this coun try Is facing. It is time that every dtiien should be nude to feel a sense of responsible participation in this country's affairs. Nothing could bring this about quicker than by hav ing them chip in according to their abilities to pay, toward helping the expenses of this war. The scale of rates seems to be fair. The man with a $4,000 In come can not complain over the pay ing of his ISO annually when he realizes that the man with twice the Income pays six timeg as hls!i a tax and the man with 100 times the In come pays about 3,000 times as large a tax. way.

My particular part of the work I to explain the nature of the security of the 1'. 8 bond, because hardly one In a hundred of us ever saw such a document. We have been paying Interest on our na tional bonds all our Uvea but never thought of buying one. lie fore 1 begin let me say there Is no profit for anyone of this business of selling bonds. The bankers, tha ex press companies, the newspaper and the speakers serve without rhnrge. The government has set aside one fifth of one per cent. equal to 20 cents on a hundred dollars to pay for clerk hire, transportation, office rent and absolutely necessary ex penses requiring the whole time of some men. "The l S. bond is a first mort gage on the labor, the property and the lives of every man In the I'nited Stiites from now until It Is paid In full. The Interest Is the first tax on all the people and it must be paid before any other debt. There Is no possibility of losing your money while the I'nited States is a nation. Your bonds will sell always for at least a hundred cents on the dollar. But their money value to you Is only one reason and not the chief reason why you should buy them. The fun damental reason Is your duty to sup port our young men fighting beyond the seas for our freedom, and our young women nursing and caring for our wounded soldiers. We must make good the scripture on our l.ll- erty Bell. 'Proclaim liberty through out the land to all the Inhabitants thereof.' You can help the cause of freedom by buying Liberty bonds. I'p to the first of August this war had cost the kaiser and his allies nearly thirty one thousand million dollar. If we do nt buy our own bonds now if we do not "support our own soldiers and. win this war we shall have to pay all of that Her man war cost and more as an In demnlty. Cnless e pay millions now for defense we shall be obliged later to pay billions for tribute to the German kaiser, unless we spend our money as freely as our soldiers spend their lives we shall be sub Jeet of the imperial government in stead of being citizens of free Amer ica, and we shall richly deserve the fate. "The world is not wide enough for lantocrati-- and democratic gnvern 'nients. one of the two must die. I Many of n have had too mnny birthdays to be of any use on the I firing lines. But every one of ns 'can help a little by buying a bond. ! "Buy a bond for the honor of our country. Buy a bond, for the free dom of your children. ' At the close of Mr. V'Ren's speech A. K.
