WHY NOT RETRENCH?
Congressional leader^, it is an
nounced from Washington, are plan
ning quick action to increase the
revenues of the government by the
imposition of additional internal rev
enue taxes, thus making good the
deficit which is caused by the loss
of $100,000,000 in revenue through the
falling off of imports as a result of
the European war.
But the question may be fairly ask
ed, is there urgent need of addition
al taxes? The war now on is forc
ing a considerable entrenchment up
on a large share of the American peo
ple, those who have dealt in imported
goods and those whose markets
abroad for their own products have
been closed. Further than this, the
outgo of every American family is
being increased by the higher prices
which have followed as a result of
the war.
v Instead of making arrangements to
collect more taxes from the American
people at a time when their ability
to pay taxes is decreased, why should
not congress follow the same policy
of retrenchment in the expenses of
the government which many Ameri
can people are compelled to follow
in their private expenditures?
The appropriations of the present
congress are out of all comparison
greater than those of any other con
gress which ever sat. There is small
probability that congress will adjourn
for some considerable time in the fu
ture. If congress desires to meet
the situation fairly and do justice to
the people, it is not too late to pass
other bills cutting out appropriations
to an amount sufficient to meet the
decrease in revenues, instead of levy
ing additional taxes. It is hardly
likely that this remedy for the con
dition will be considered by the pres
ent congress, but it is a remedy nev
ertheless/—Ex.

FLOATING FORT RIVADAVIA
TURNED OVER TO ARGENTINE
BOSTON, Aug. 28.—With elaborate
ceremonies, the great superdread
nought Rivadavia was today formal
ly turned over to the Argentine gov
ernment in Boston harbor. A thou
sand men, brought here by transport
from the South American republics,
were formally assigned to their posts
to man this greatest battleship afloat.
The huge floating fort will dock at
the Charlestown navy yard for final
touching up, the United States Navy
department having offered this cour
tesy to her sister republic. Ambas
sador Naon, representative of Ar
gentine at Washington, was to come
to lead in dedicating the dread
nought. The Rivadavia has no su
perior on the seas, in armament,
speed, liorespower, tonnage or arm
or. During her speed trials her mon
ster engines forced the great bulk
at a speed of 22.56 knots an hour.
When the war clouds first hovered
over Europe and before the rattle of
musketry began, several European
nations offered a handsome price for
the Rivadavia, but all were turned
down. The Moreno, sister ship of
the Rivadavia, is now building at
New York, where she will be launch
ed probably in September.
