PASSES SENATE
BY 11 10 6 VOTE
WASHINGTON, Mny 15. Aftor
nearly throo weeks of debate ranging
ovor Innumerable problems o the
war, tlio senate, by a 77 to G voto,
last nlKht passed tlio administration
csplonago bill, pronounced one of tho
most drastic and Inclusive measures
In American congressional history. A
similar bill has passed tho house, but
virtual redrafting of many of tho
most Important provisions Is export
ed In tho forthcoming conferences.
During today's final consideration,
the senato stripped tho moastiro en
tirely of provisions for nowspapor
consorshlp and restrictions upon
manufacture of grain Into Intoxicat
ing liquors, and rojectcd nn nmond
mont designed to curb speculation In
food products, although sentiment
obviously was overwhelming In favor
of such legislation later.
Provisions of 11111
As completed tho senato bill's prin
cipal sections provldo: Authority for
the president to omhargo exports
whon he finds that "tho public safety
and welfare so roqulro" (Not In tho
houso measure).

ponullles. (Not In house bill).
I'"or punishment of csplonago, do
flned In most detailed tonus, Includ
ing wrongful uso of military Infor

sols in American waters.
Punishment for conveyance of
falso reports which Interfere with
military operations, wilful attempts
lo causo disaffection In the military
or navnl forces or obstruction of re
cruiting. For thn seizure of arms and muni
tions and prohibition of their expor
tation under certain conditions.

Kor penalizing conspiracies design

tions or for destruction of property
within thn I'nltcd Slntes.
Kor Increased rostructloiiK upon Is
suance of passports, with penalties
for their forgery or falso procure
ment, and
For material extension of the pow
er to Issue search warrants for In
spection of premises.
Tho clause giving tho president
power to embargo exports vvns retain
ed In (he bill virtually as drafted by
administration officials.
Vigorous efforts to retain previs
ions for newspaper censorship and
partial piohlhlllon together with
foodstuff conservation, during tlio
war, culminated In final voles today
In which tlio senate voted, 4S to III,
to eliminate all tho provisions for
press censorship. On behalf of tli'
administration forces Senator Uvi
man, In charge or the bill, bail moved
to re-insert a modified censorship
clause. , .

DRAFT SURPLUS INCOMES.
CAN wt! with an income tax and a tax on .surplus prof
its raise enough money to pay for this war as we go
along f
Yes we most eertninlv
Take the American incomes as reported for 1913 and if
we did no more than begin
000, increasing the rate to
comes over .fi;jii,U(K), we should raise if 1,-'UU,(HX),(HJ0.
Since 1915 the big incomes have soared out of sight.
There are about 100 good and sufficient reasons why
we should conscript these big surpluses.
To consider only three of them:
First, the European war raised the profits of many
American concerns to colossal figures. It is manifestly
unfair that these fat profits should be permitted to con
tinue, yielding comparatively nothing to meet; the ex
pense ot tbe war now that we
there is no other way to
the net profits of the Armour Packing Co. rose be
tween 1913 and 191C from $0,000,000 to $20,000,000. the net
pro! its or the I jethlehem hteel Corporation rose from $5,
000,000 to $45,000,000; DuPont Powder Co. from $4,000
000 to $:i2,()(!0,()()0; Swift Packing Co. from $9,000,000 to
$20,000,000; Central Leather Co. from $4,000,000 to $15,
000,000; United States Fruit Co. from$5,000,000 to $11,
000,000 United States Steel Corporation from $81,000,000
to itau,uuu,uuu.
Kach of these concerns is
in lUlo.
One of the richest beneficiaries of these huge profits,
whose income from but one of his enterprises is more than
$'50,000 a day, said recently that he wished the government
would step in and stop t he tide. J to does not know what
to do with the ocean of money that is rushing in upon him.
Second, if we continue to issue bonds to pay for the war
we will not check this perilous process but onlv boost it.
The bulk of the bonds uiitiniately will find their way
into tno nancts ot tnc ncii ana well-to-do. The interest
will be paid to them out of the earnings of those that have
no property but must labor for their daily bread. They
will be called upon to pay most of it in the shape of in
direct taxation.
Continued bond issues,
the "cost of living, already
help along the flood of wealth now running into the
hands of a few men.
Third, this will remove from the rich nnd well-to-do
the only opportunity they naturally have to bear their
part of the burdens of the war. -
Mark this well it is no sacrifice to invest money in
tax-fret! government bonds at per cent.
Universal service, universal sacrifice, universal obli
gation. Is there not enough patriotism and statesmanship in
the United States congress to make, this fight for justice,
reason and safety'?
OUR ARCH
CONSISTENCY is a jewel that our city government
proudly flashes. Having barred from sidewalks and
f-urbs patriotic barber poles and business signs with the
exception of a few belonging to favorites, who are per
mitted for some unknown reason to violate the statute,
the council sanctions the erection of an "arch of triumph"
for an itinerant carnival company occupying three-(iiar-ters
of the width of the sidewalk on both sides of Main
Street, which will inconvenience traffic as long as it
stands, and occupies more sidewalk space than all the re
moved signs put together.
From top to bottom this "arch of triumph" is plas
tered with advertising about as crude and inartistically
conceived as possible a fitting decoration for our main
street for the patriotic parade and the Tri.-Statc roads
congress! Such a metropolitan ornament for Medford and
such a tribute to the esteem in which (Vinpanv Seven
is held!
All this of course is done in the name of patriotism.
The carnival is of course patriotically actuated to take
the dimes out of Medford merely to liclp the nation per
petuate democracy and thresh (terniany. And to show
their patriotism and promote the patriotic carnival, the
militia company has sacrificed its dignity, the city coun
cil nullified its laws, the public is put to inconvenience and
the advertisers mulcted or their cash. And the arch stands
lo commemorate this triumph of patriotism.
All of which reminds one of Samuel .Johnson's defi
nition of patriotism "the last refuge of scoundrels."

A Plea in Behalf
By Dll, J. LAWRENCE HILL.
President Wilson has affirmed
again and again the gravity of the
situation into which the war in Eu
rope has pulnged us, nnd has empha
sized, ns ho has not done any other
question, the necessity of giving, a
wo have given tu no other cause,
our unstinted support of the lied
( ross society, a society which has
proved lo be an inestimable blessing
in every land and clinic to the sick
the needy, (he sorrowful and suffer
ing wherever the scourge of war nnd
the tempest and blight of disease
has fallen
The work of the society has its
roots in patriotism, a patriotism
which knows nothing of creed, color
or cult, a patriotism which has never
been so intense, se responsive and
universal as it is today.
Wherever wounds are to be dressed
and healed, fevers allayed, comforts
needed and sufferings to be assuaged
there consecrated men und women
w-enring the lied Cross nudge on their
anus arc to be found ministering,
as .fid the Christ of old, to the hun
gering, starving, destitute und dis-
ed multitude which ever thronged
his palliway.
The lied Cross, now seen every
where and resH.eted and honored by
every nation in war nnd in peace,
but by German Kultnr nnd mililari-m,
is but a symbol of the work the
blaster did, and because II has learned
its sweetest lessons of love nnd sym
pathy nt His cross is why it has won
its way into all hearts, and is whv all
arc willing anil ready to respond to
its every call.
The needs ot' our boys on the bat
tle fields and ships and in hospitals
must be gencroii-lv and promptly ni"t
by those for whom they will soon be
called upon to suffer and die. Tlmc

To Build Up
After Orippe, Colds
Bad Blood
Take a blood cleanser and alterative
that starts the liver and stomach into
vigorous action, called Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery because of
one of its principal ingredients the
Golden Seal plant. It assists the body
to manufacture rich red blood which
feeds the heart nerves brain and
organs of the body. The organs work
smoothly like machinery runniug in
oil. You feel clean, strong and strenu
ous instead of tired, weak and faint.
Start to take it to-day and before
another day has passed, the impurities
of the blood will begin to leave your
body through the eliminative organs,
ind ill a few davs you will know
thst the bad blood is passing out, and
new, rich, pure blood is filling your
veim, nnd arteries.
Get Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
ccvery to-day from auy medicine deal
