been picked from crews of many ships
becausc of their experience and adapta-
bility for this work. The equipment is

Washington the plnirt was kept goin

.SPREADITill: WAR TAX.
The people of the United States
knew, well in advance, that partici-
pation in the European war would
probably be, in every sense, a costly
undertaking. They were informed
frankly with regard to the enormous
financial obligations which such a
course would involve. They were
not taken by surprise when the first
war credit measure passed by con-
gress called for the raiding of $7,-
000,000,000. All that has been done
toward supplying the government
with funds wherewith to cover pres-
ent and prospective war expendi-
tures has met with practically unan-
imous approval. The people are ful-
ly aware that revenues commen-
surate with the Increused expendi-
tures must be provided, and than to
provide them new taxes mutt be
levied and old taxes must be in-
creased, and to this they are agree-
able. In a word, having demanded
of their government than It shall
take its part in the fight for civiliza-
tion, they are roady to assume the
coat of it cheerfully. All they ask
is that the cost shall bo spread equit-
ably, each individual doing his bit,
each clat-s doing its share, each in-
terest doing its part.
In addition to its other revenues,
the government at Washington must
raise, in round figures. $1 ,.600.000.-
000 by direct taxes In the next fiscal
year. To do It so that the burden
will not boar too heavily upon any
class or industry, and so that th«
business of the country shall not be
subjected to obstruction or strain, is
the problem. As a means of accom-
plishing this end, it is proposed by
the secretary of the treasu
this plan has the tentativ
of the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States, to obtain $400,000,000 | p
from an increased income tax.
$200,000,000 from an increased tax
on excess profits. $100,000,000 from
an increase in first-class postal
rates, $250,000,000 from various
stamp taxes, $100,000,000 from in-
creased customs duties, and $550,-
(100,000 from excise tares.
Some of the importaat proposals
in Secretary McAdoo's plan have al-
ready been antagonized in the ways
and means committee; others are
very certain to be antagonized when
the revenue bill as a whole comes
before congress. In the first place,
the chairman of the committee, Rep-
resentative Fordney of Michigan, is
opposed to the raising of more than
$1,000,000,000 by direct taxation, his
contention being that not more than
thisthis amount will be needed. A
reduction or Secretary McAdoo's es-
timate by $600,000,000 would, of
course, mean a complete readjust-
ment' of the whole scheme for in-
creasing the revenues.
The nation is demanding total pro-
hibition of the liquor traffic during
the war, and it is the understanding
that the president and his closest
advisers are favorable to legislation
granting the executive power to is-
sue an order to this effect. Rather
than cut the sum total of the rev-
enue estimate down to Chairman
Forduey's figure, public opinion, it
seems certain, would favor retaining
the sum named by Secretary McAdoo,
so that there will be no need of a
liquor tax. (>r. assuming that, with
the liquor tax dropped, the original
figure must be correspondingly in-
creased. the people will gladly bear
it in consideration of dispensing
thereby with the last vestige of re-
enue from drink.
The committee on ways and means
i sengaged upon a very complicated
and delicate task, the completion of
which will affect every man, woman,
child. Interest, industry, and activity
in the land. In proportion to the
equity contained in the product of its
labors will be the success of its ac-
complishment in congress and before
the people. Everybody must con-
tribute toward the cost of the war.
Everybody must contribute toward
the cost of the war. As the war is
righteous, equally so must he the
manner iu which the cost is dis-
tributed.

if handled properly, says William II.
Stewart, Jr., the automobile expert.
The real danger comes from the fact
that some people do not realize how
dangerous It Is and others do not real-
ize how safe It is and so give way to
panic if any of It «-at<hes fire. A few
suggestions for handling it wilj go far
toward reducing the danger attendant
ui Its use.
Gasoline Is a mixture of several liq-
uids obtained from crude petroleum by
iistillatlon. It Is water white in color
- that is, colorless except in large
masses, when It has a bluish tinge. It
boils nt a temperature of 115 to 150
degrees I\, giving off a heavy vapor,
which is epiite colorless, although pos-
sessing a characteristic odor. As this
vapor may readily accumulate on the
floor of a closed room, it constitutes
one of the real dangers of gasoline.
All It needs Is a flame to cause It to
spread destruction on all sides.
For the present note how safe gaso
line really is. It cannot be set on tire
by the glowing end of a cigarette or
cigar, although if the cigarette paper
catehps tire the gasoline will take tire
from that. This matter of safety may
easily be proved by pouring a sufall
quantity of gasoline into a tumbler and
putting the lighted end of a cigarette
i into the vapor while pulling it vigor-
ously. Having satisfied yourself that
it. will not ignite, dip the glowing end
into the gasoline, and it will be instant-
ly extinguished. Evidently the vapor
needs the Intense beat of a naked flame
or the electric spark In order to ignite.
A popular error Is to the effect that
gasoline is highly explosive, some im-
agining%that it is only necessary to
touch a match to It in order to have It
explode like gunpowder. Nothing could
be further from the truth, l'our a
dram or two 011 the kitchen table and
set tire to it. It burns quietly with a
characteristic yellow flame and black
smoke. Even If heated in a closed
tank it. will not explode if a vent is
Of course water will ex-
plode if heated too much in a tank
without a vent, and so will gasoline.
The bursting of the tank Is due to va-
por pressure and not to an explosion
such as Is produced In an engine. But
the most unreasoning fear comes from
the idea of setting Are to a tank at the
tiller opening. Most people in imagina-
tion see the tank torn to pieces and the
experimenter blown high In the air.
Nothing of the sort happens. The va-
por takes tire at the surface and burns
quietly without any demonstration of
any kind. This is only true, however,
in case the tank has been tilled several
hours. A tank just emptied of gaso-
line or one freshly filled will give as
good an explosion as one could wish.
To see why a full tank does not ex-
plode pour a few ounces of gasoline
into 11 preserve jar. Shake it up and set
fire to the vapor at the top. No explo-
sion takes place because gasoline vapor
is not explosive except when mixed
with air in the right proportions.
Probably the greatest danger from
gasoline comes from the fact that the
vapor is very heavy and colorless '
Since it cannot be seen there is little
indication of its presence. It may ac-
cumulate at the bottom of a closed
room or on the floor of a garage until
some one drops a lighted match and
sets tire to it. When allowed to accu-
mulate in this manner its explosive
power is tremendous. I have seen the
wall of a brick building blown out as
the result of an accumulation of gaso-
line vapor in the cellar. A lighted
match caused the trouble.
It Is evident, then, that care must
be taken to avoid such accumulation.
Keep the premises ventilated so that
the vapor will be dissipated as fast as
it is formed. l>o not spill gasoline,
being especially careful while lilling
tanks.—New York World.
