There is n tendency to put off till
a later day, m eded improvement ■
on th^ plea 0f the high cost of labor
and Tiatertal.
Thl; i« a great mistake, and the
town or section of country that is
enticed Into It will wake up in tnc
near future to find itself out of ibe
running from a business point of
view, it is very true that labor i?
scarce and materia] high, but nelth
er of these is as expensive as is net-
led of the material interests of the
community.
A county needs a bridge across a
stream, but because of the added
cost refuses to build. As a result,
the people of the community are put
to unneccs try trouble ar 1 expert*'-
entirely out of proportion to the
small added cost. A piko road
should be repaired, but tho war ln-
torefere> ,md the road is left n

sult that a good road goes down in
the mud and will have to b' entirely

I'he comnu i.ity that keeps up with

though it does rt'iuirp greater effort

er prices on the necessities of life
are in the dim and distant future.
I he .• ,ii i ity of labor, instead of re-
laxing, is almost sure to intensity
for some time to come.
I11 view of theso facts, it is incum-
bent upon those charged with th.
conduct of the people's business to
see that all public utilities are kej i
up to the highest point of efficiency.

when wo may be compelled to neg-

Hut that time is not hero yet, and
until it does come* Wo should striin
every nerve in the effort to place
our country in tho first rank of ef-
ficiency. Tho efficiency of the
country is already bein^ put to a
very severe test, and the test will
-low harder and harder as the war
drags on. The only way we can suc-
cessfully nteet this test is by keep-
ing ourselves and our facilities up
to the top notch.

liiOSE "EXCESS" PROFITS.
If Congress has a real desire to
(luailze the burdens of taxation
that are to pay for the war, that
hotly will bo compelled to approach
the question in a different spirit
from thut now manifested.
If there is one truth that standc
out more plainly than any other in
this country, it is that capital and
1 apitalistg have be 1 n more favored
than in any other country on i:n
globe.
The United States has
f
|ion in the world. Tin- profits lYon.
her industries are greater than those
'f any other country, it is tho
iressed purpose to tax these incom> s
"id profits. As to the former, thdy
re contributing probably then
I' in It is with the latter that we
Havi to deal.
I" the thoughtful person it would
• ppear that Congress sheiuld devise
1 Just system of taxes on profits--
not on "excess" profits. The- profit
"A "ig Business have been enormous
lor years, and there js really little
xci-ss" upon which to levy a tax
I-'ke, merely ns an example, t'ae
niteel States Ste-i I Corporation.
rh:it concern is creditce! with a el!vi-
lend in I91T, of 5270,000,000. I is
' ■•••' r mdoubtful if their profit •
U much exceed that figure in 19-
17, which would enable S. Steel
to escape the excess tax entirely.
Again it is asserted that the t >.e-
Phone companies of the countn
cleared during the month of March
last $1.00 on each telephone in a.
in the entire country. But as their
earnings have bee\,i enormous fo-
some time, they too would escape
with a very modest "excess."
But any little farmer worth lev-
'hi-n $30,000, who makes a profit
of ?fi,000, will "be compelled to pay
at least $2,000.
The injustice of th > entire <• hPme
can be seen et a glance
The tax burden will not be equit-
ably distributed so long as we per-
sist in dealing with "excess" profits
When we begin to consider all prof-
its we will bej?ln to make progress
toward a correct solution of the tax-
ing problem.
