the proposed law would lose of his income $15,000,000,
"heartily indorses the plan. So does E. W. Scripps, the
multimillionaire newspaper man, and these are but a few
of the immensely rich who are willing to put up their
money while the masses, from whom the fighting men
must largely be drawn, are offering their lives. More
than his life no man can give, and the loss of all income is
nothing compared to it. Nor is it just the multimillion
aires who express this sentiment. Recently the board j
of directors of the St. Paul Association of Public and
Business Affairs, the big civic and commercial organiza
tion of St. Paul adopted with but one dissenting vote the
following resolution:
"Whereas: Many hundreds of thousands of American
citizens are to be called upon for the supreme patriotic
sacrifice, pledging their lives for their country; and
"Whereas: The least that those remaining at home
can do in any measure even approaching this sacrifice of
those on the firing line is to pledge their entire financial
resources; therefore, be it Resolved: That in behalf of
this association of nearly five thousand St. Paul business
and professional men we urge upon the government con
scription of dollars as well as of men, to be brought about j
by through the imposition 01 large graduated incomo
taxes reaching total absorption for all incomes over
$100,000 a year."
Powerful labor and farm organizations have also
enthusiastically indorsed the plan of taxing incomes to
pay the war debt.
From the standpoint of patriotism the plan should be
backed by those who will have the larger portion of the
bill to pay
indorse i't that the country may sooner get back to normal
conditions and not be handicapped with a great burden
of debt when this, happens. There is still another view
point, outside of business and patriotism, and that is self
interest. The war has to be fought to the end. We must
either beat Germany or be beaten by her. To defeat her
will require united effort and perhaps great sacrifice,
Yet whatever that sacrifice may be it must be made. Sup
pose through the lack of patriotism and failure of the
wealth of the country to respond to the call for the means
to carry on the war, the allies should lose and we were
forced to carry on the war alone. How much greater
would the cost be and how much income would it leave
any? If Germany should win well the wealthy can do
a little figuring to see where they would be when the
kaiser got through collecting war indemnity from them
and raising funds . to rehabilitate Germany. Put on a
financial basis, the man with a thousand dollars is inter
ested that amount in the war, and the man with a hundred
million is interested in just the sdme amount, that is
all he has. It is gratifying to read the expressions of
sentiment coming from the rich, for it shows that regard
less of station we are all Americans, and rich and poor
alike are ready to make any and all sacrifices for our
common country that circumstances may demand of us.

ANOTHER SLACKER
That citizen is somewhat phoney who
hastens into matrimony, that he may dodge
the fray; it ought to shame his soul, dog
gone him, to see hov people look upon him,
upon his wedding day. Methinks I see him
humbly kneeling, his voice all choked with
maudlin feeling, before some maiden fair;
"The thought," he says, "of doing battle out
where the noisy cannon rattle, is whitening
my hair. So long as I'm remaining single,
the chances are I'll have to mingle with men
whom I abhor; I have no use for soldiers'
labors, I have no use for guns and sabres,
I have no use for war. I'd rather hear mv
neighbors hoot me, than have a husky German shoot me,
or prod me with a sword; Pd rather men should call me
Rabbit, than fall into the beastly habit of being carved or
bored. So marry me, sweet Isabella! Have pity on a
cringing fellah, who hates the thought of blood, for if you
won't avert disaster, by chasing with me to the pastor, my
given name is Mud." You'd think the girls would deem
