A RICH POOR NEIGHBOR.
more settled government and trade
is most welcome. It comes in a time
of extremity, and a population that
has been facing it ought to be thank
ful for the relief. Each individual
ought to be glad to escape the chaos
of demoralization, and do all in his
power to secure the stability of a
new era.
The Mexican people should be able
to see that tho United States respects
their territorial and other rights as
a nation. We are in no plot to des
poil them of land or overreach them
in trade.
If Mexico will maintain sound, re
sponsible government its prosperity
would be far beyond the average.
And if each Mexican resolves to do it
the new era will be here. St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
TAX WAR ORDERS.
The best suggestion for raising
revenue to meet the federal shortage
is the proposed tax on the munition
and war order shipments.
The war caused the revenue short
age. Trade built up in this country
by the war should therefore be taxed
to meet the shortage.
The traffic in war orders has as
sumed enormous volume. Fortunes
are made almost over night. A city
of 30,000 was built up in a few
weeks from the profits of the Dupont
powder business. The profits from
the munitions trade have become so
great that there are the same wild
and feverish operations that were
characteristic of the rich mining
camps in the old golden days.
The war brought serious distur
bance to much of the business of the
United States. It caused paralysis
and stagnation in many industries.
It dislocated many kinds of business
throughout the world
It would not be right for the Amer
ican government to make up its rev
enue from the industries harmed by
the war. The workingman thrown
out of employment by the war, ought
not to be taxed on ills note when he
borrows $100 at the bank to tide
his family over the idle times.
The best and most appropriate of
all the sources of revenue yet pro
posed to meet the war deficiency is
the enormously profitable traffic in
war supplies.
This traffic makes Its money off
the war; it should provid ea just pro
portion of the revenue lost by the
war. Oregon Journal.

Business is ready to bulge across
the Mexican border in large volumes

Even now long trains loaded with

ment, its population of over 16,000,

been Intensified, and it is certain that
the extent and severity of their un
usual hardshps are not fully compre

What sea power means to England
at war is convincingly shown by A. 0.
Laut. The steadily increasing stran
gulation of German commerce with
Sweden by British submarines op
erating in the Baltic and also pre
venting the German fleet from sec
onding the German invasion of Rus
sia add point to the statement of fact.
The freedom of England from in
vasion by Germany has been the su
preme achievement of the British
navy. It also, however, has guarded
the transportation of 2,500,000 men,
brought home over 500,000 invalids,
protected the importation of 3,000,
000 tons of supplies and food and as
sured the allies of 11,500,000,000 of
munitions and supplies. It has made
the remotest lane of ocean traffic,
outside of mined districts, as safe in
war as in peace.
What England's fleets meant to
Germany appears from 170 Austrian
and German ships putting Into neu
tral harbors as soon as war broke out.
Between Interned ships and destroyed
ships Germany's mercantile marine
has become virtually a cipher. The
navy of Britain has likewise disposed
of 84 per cent of all the submarines
that Germany owned at the opening
of the war.
It is Instructive to recall a bit of
British naval history last year and to
record the fact that Churchill saved
his country from a German raid. The
annual maneuvers had ended on July
25, but Churchill, instead of dispers
ing the navy, ordered it not to do so.
Austria declared war on Serbia July
28. The very next day every commis
sioned British ship was on its way to
the appointed station. The Mediter
ranean fleet made for Malta. At Gi
bralter the news that Germany had
declared war against Russia was re
ceived, and on August 4 England's
declaration of war with Germany was
read. Simultaneously with the dec
laration of war by Germany It had
sent out its raiders against British
commerce. Churchill had ascertain
ed the fact, had mobilized the navy
instantaneously, and had saved Brit
ish commerce on the high seas.
Fighting on land might conceiv
ably become a drawn duel in which
each combatant might bleed to
death, but sea power remains the
dominant factor, and the naval might
of England, France and Italy is
steadily and surely throttling the
breath out of Germany and Austria.
The German and British fleets may
not fight a pitched battle, but the si
lent pressure of sea power will decide
the result of the war. Spokesman-Review.
