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.

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.
