HIGH PRICES INDIRECT TAXATION. The consumer is put in the same position by a rise of prices as he would be if he voluntarily chose to save. He cucts down his consumption in both cases and a capital fund is created. But in the one case the capital is his and its income is his to enjoy. In the other case the saving from reduced expenditure becomes surplus profits and is enjoyed by those who gain by the increase of prices. A high price of coal or of wheat forces a curtainment of consumption and puts the consumer in the same position as if he had saved a like amount. The extra gain of the producer is the same fund which the consumer loses. High prices may thus be called conscripted saving: for by it a fund is created that may be used to increase industry in peace or to pay the military bills in war. In this case the flow of funds to war or to industry has the 6ame effect and the same imitations as had the voluntary saving of earlier times. Capi tal thus becomes accumulated profits. It grows as profits in crease and is limited by the profits which higher prices create. "War expenditure, m turn, is limited by prohts, and its amount can be increased only by raising the level ot prices through which the consumer's consumption is contracted. The consumer turns his forced saving over to the capitalist and the capitalist loans it to the government. The process is thus an in direct taxation; the difference being that if the payment of taxes is direct the consumer pays but once, by the indirect pro cess he pays once by the curtailment of his consumption and again when the bonds mature. Bed Cross Sanitary Units are being established to protect the health of civilians surrounding three more army encamp ments in this country. Fifteen cities are now receiving the co nnprntinn nf the Red Cross in making the communities sur rounding the camps sate lor the soldiers, ana in taKing meas ures to prevent the spread of disease or epidemics. The three latest cities to receive tied Uross am m sanita tion are Greenville, S. C, Macon, Ga., and Manhattan, Kan. It is near the latter city that the Fort Riley National cantonment is located, and there are National Guard encampments near the other two cities. Each Sanitary Unit operates under the di rection of an officer of the Public Health Service, and the i lelcl Directors of the Red Cross Bureau of Camp Service have been made the business agents of the Units. Cooperation between the Public Health Service and the Red Cross lias been firmly established. In each of the fifteen cities where a Red Cross Sanitary Unit has been requested and furnished, the Unit co-operates with the Public Health Service, the State Board ot Health an the local health authorities in establishing full and efficient san itarv organizations ofr the inspection of milk and water sup plies, the control of infectious diseases, and the general sanitary 'nspection of the community. In southern communities, such as t Greenville and Macon, considerable work is being done in the eradication of malaria-bearing mosquitoes in the vicinity of the camps. i-i LOYALTY AND STRIKERS. It is not an inspiring spectacle, that of over 25,000 men, the best paid laborers and mechanics in the world today and men engaged in government contracts, relusmg to work unless the) are granted an increase of fifty per cent in wages. Strikes an( labor disturbances are hurtful to all concerned at any time, par ticularly so when the nation and the world, almost, is at war and effort i bei"" made by the government and all loyal citizens k livlmr n... r...,mtrv nr to its c-reatest efficiencv. Hie men on strike, were thev employed in labor not so essential as that o finisliine material and eriuipment needed by the government would bring down on themselves sufficient condemnation, but . . . . ii i- : i.. l : . under the circumstances their action win ue cuusmeieu me-v cusable. On the other hand there are thousands of young men, skill ed in the arts- the mechanics, business and professionswho have given up their life work, their homes and occupations, not for monev. but that men of the tvpe and character of those on strike niav be protected. There comes a time in the life and history of the individua where the fruits of liberty so dearly bought are not appreciate and a license is made of liberty. In most instances the strikers are men from European countries, where they have lived under oppression and worked ,for far less and under tar worse condi tions than thev have ever experienced in the land of their new home. This being the case, it would seem that strong mailed fist, of rnilitnrv vnvvrnmont is needed to hold them in line. It is not a time to be patient with men who are so lost to the' eternal fitness of things, so disloyal to their government, that they wi select a time of need and stress to try and enforce individual de mands. Idaho Register. GET MAD? The Helena, Montana. Independent protests against the ye low element in Montana which, it says, "has caused a decrease It says, "these were sidetracked by strikes," agitators, pro- German propagande, cheap politics, seditious talk and Indus trial Workers of the World." The Independent sounds this warning note: "Wait until Montana gets mad and the people responsible for the figures quoted above will be swallowed up in the maw of our wrath," Montana is not the only state that has suffered from the yellow element. All over this imon a yellow streak nas ap peared, and thevAmerican people are getting mad. Demagogues- agitators, self-seeking college professors, sen- ational newspapers, and muck-raking magazines responsible or this yellow streak are changing their tune and pulling down le red flag. a ' The people of this country had reason to get mad. They discovered the deception the demagogues had practiced. All the solemn pledges written m party platforms by the busters of business, the smashers of the railroads and the revil- ers of the captains of industry that, if they were given their way, they would reduce the cost of living, have failed of ful fillment. . , . The only ones to profit by the campaign of vituperation, busting and smashing have been the cheap politicians, who, by the votes of the credulous, have been able to usurp the seats of the elder statesmen. . , Get the American people mad just once and they will make short shift of the wreckers. Get mad!
