THE GERMAN “WAR TAX.”
-— !
-A dcelnral i<m of the 1 iankru|•
Icy of imr whole financial admin
istration." "the Iasi desperate
extreme," "the last sheet aneh
,ii> nf a linanrially impoverished
country." a "war lax." In lie im
posed "only when the enemy is
at the gate,” "a product of a ver
itable stale of armament drunk
enness”— these are the hrnlally
frank commenls possed on I lie
properly lax proposed by Ihe tier
man government to meet Ihe cosl
of increasing the army. If I hey
were found in French or Kngiish
or even American organs of pub
lic opinion they would he resent
ed hy our tierman friends as ex
travagant, prejudiced and malic
ious. They arc taken from Ger
man papers, none of them hostile
lo (lie government, all of them
loyal and patriotic and some of
them reputed lo he closely con
nected with Ihe ministers.
The lax on which these ener
getic. criticisms and protests ap
ply is one' of more than 5 per
cent, on all properly, and Ihe
purpose is to secure immediate
ly $250,000,00(1 to he spent oil
the army, with a plan that re
quires, according to the state
ments of the German press, at
least as much more within Ihe
next live years.
The tax is to he levied on jiri-i
vale fortunes, and it is reported
that the Kaiser has secured Ihej
consent of Ihe ruling Princes of
tile empire lo waive their custom- !
ary privilege of exemption. This j
is a shrewd political device, but j
is not likely greatly to reduce Ihe !
extraordinary burden of the new
lax or lo assuage the distress and ;
resentment sure lo follow when j
Ihe burden is fell. A tax of morel
than 5 per cent is practically Ihe I
con fiscal ion of a year's income!
for the classes that rely on ifi_ !
vestments for support. In the
case of properly invested in com
merce and in active industrial en
terprises, and especially in agri
culture, such a lax must neces
sarily interfere very seriously
with their operations when? Hie
net income does not exerted the
tax.

I'lie vacancy mi I lie school
hoard lo lie tilled at the coining
election is Ihe office of treasurer.
Elias. Wilcox has held this posi
tion. since Ihe resignation of Al_
vaii Eames and from present in
dications il is a jyetly safe bet
I hat Mr. Wilcox is not anxious to
further serve Ihe public as cus
todian of Ihe school funds, lie
says it is “custodian of lack of
funds," and since Ihe emolu
ments of I he office consist of
I rouble and explanations lie would
like to have il understood I tint his
coffers are already full lo over
flowing.
When Mr. Wilcox wcnl out for
this job two years ago his no
lions (if being a public servant
were quite dilfifrenl from what
they are now. He could see him
self attending teachers' insti
tutes, making speeches al the
school house mi ‘'Mothers' Day,”
meeting Ihe new lady school
teachers at the boat and acting as
general utility man for Ihe best
interests of lie public. He is now
singing Ihe second stanza of Ihe
song, and like all great compo
sitions, Ihe second stanza is
slightly differcnl.
Rev. Zcigler is thoroughly fa
miliar with school work and will
make a valuable addition lo the
school board. He is in a posi
tion fo devote Ihe requisite
amount of lime neeesasry for the
proper discharge of the duties of
the office of treasurer and is,
without question, the logical man
to be elected to the position. If
the treasury is not “fat”it will not
be a source of constant annoy
ance to llev. Zeiglor. This is a
chronic condition of most collec
tion baskets and experience is
generally of some help along most
any line.
The town wants good schools.
The. town is going to have good
schools, and one of the best ways
to insure the having of good
schools is to have men acting in
the capacity of directors who are
qualified to judge of w hat is need
ed. who have the time to keep in
touch with the work that is being
done, and who are not afraid to
spend a little lime for the benefit
of I he public.
Hev. Zeiglor possesses at! of
the foregoing qualifications and
the public will be fortunate in se
lecting him to succeed Mr. Wil
cox as treasurer.

Respecl your Stomach.
For your Stomach is your Suc

of this as you burn ils walls with

Arguments May Be Disputed, But
<(Facts Are Facts.”
It i- a fact that Valdez beer is a food and not a tonic.
Ask any doctor you know. Valdez beer aids digestion. Use
it a few times with your meals and you’ll find we’re right.
If you drink beer you should use Valdez beer in preference to
others. First, because of its unquestionable high quality.
Second, because it is a home pr duct; brewed in your home
town and all who are interested in the growth and prosper
ity of Valdez should patroniz home products.
