SIXTY-THREE CENTS FOR WAR.
The considerable number of citi
zens who are reached by the income
tax will be interested in some de
ductions of Ray Stannard Baker in
the current number of the American
magazine. They will be even more
interested, probably, if they apply the
deductions to themselves.
For example, Baker finds, out of
every dollar collected by the U. S.
government in taxes, 63 cents is spent
for war. That is to say, that pro
portion of the entire expense of gov
ernment is due to the army, the navy
and the pensions that result from
past wars. '
Now we’ll say you are one of those
successful citizens whose incomes
reach $3,000. That means, if you
are unmarried, that you pay $30 a
year income tax.
For war you, personally, are spend
ing $18.90 a year.
Surprises you, doesn’t it?
If you are a married man and have
been goaded by the high cost of liv
ing until you’ve raised your income
up to $4,000, you are paying $40 a
year income tax.
For war you are spending $25.20 a
year.
However, there still remains 37
cents out of every dollar to be de
voted to other purposes. Three cents
of it has been going into the build
dng of the Panama canal. If you are
one of the $3,000 bachelors you’ve
paid 90 cents toward building the ca
nal. If you are one of the $4,000
family men you’ve paid $1.20 on the
canal’s cost. In either event you
don’t begrudge the money, do you?
Some 'of you probably would have
preferred that the 63 cents had gone
into the canal and the three cents
into war expenses.
Four cents out of each 100 cents
goes for agricultural improvements.
And there is where some income
tax paying citizens are going to stop
and think. Sixty-three cents for war;
four cents for farming!
Which do we need most?—Ex.
WHERE THE LAW FALLS SHORT.
“Ignorance of the law excuses no
man,” is a trite saying of the judges
who administer justice in this coun
try. ^
Yet it is safe to say that no man
living in the United States, outside
of the Supreme Court, knows what
the law is, in many cases, and even
the Justices of this, court cannot al
ways agree.
To be safe from the law is, there
fore, impossible, especially in busi
ness, where chaotic interpretations
have so muddled matters as to leave
the average man in grave doubt, at
times, as to whether he is within ,or
without, the sanction of the statutes.
The laws of the land have multi
plied intricacies, until the point has
been reached where common sense
can no longer be accepted as a guide
n judicial decisions.
And still we hear that phrase, "Ig
norance of the law excuses no man!”
A city council passes an ordinance.
Is that ordinance put before every
citizen so that he may have a chance
to know of its existence?
It is not.
In some obscure legal publication,
never seen by the average citizen, it
may be given “publicity” and then,
later on, the average citizen may be
called before the judge and told that
he must go to jail, or pay a fine, be
cause “ignorance of the law excuses
no man!”
Or, a legislature puts through an
act that governs the conduct of all
the people living in the state.
Is that act given due publicity in
every city and town in the state?
It is not.
No adequate means are provided
for spreading a general knowledge
of the new law.
You are simply supposed lo know
—and, if you don’t, justice may get
you!
This country is a long way off yet
from the day of fair play and equal
justice.—Seattle Sun.

ILLINOIS GIRLS
GETJULL VOTE
CHICAGO, Aug. 4.—The women of
Illinois will undergo their first real
test as a political factor in the com
ing campaign. In the April elections
they voted only for city officers, but
on November 3 they will have the
additional privilege of voting for
county, state and national officers.
The officers for whom the elector
ate of the whole state will vote are:
State treasurer, superintendent of
public instruction, clerk of the su
preme court, three trustees of the
University of Illinois and United
States senator. All counties and sev
eral cities will provide several offices
to be filled.
The municipal eleotions last spring
afforded little opportunity for profes
sional politicians to get a line on the
women’s voting strength,*as one al
derman was elected from each ward
and women voted for different can
didates, even when voting for the
same party. The fall campaign which
is just getting under way, will per
m:t the women to combine in sup
port of certain candidates, and it is
very probable their votes will decide
the fate of many aspirants for the
various offices.
The Indians near the Kuskokwim
outnumber their white brothers about
three to one. These are distributed
in small settlements of four or five
families from Tuluksak to four miles
below Tacotna. The deputy writes
that they are thrifty and intelligent
people, while the sanitary conditions
surrounding their homes ore good.
The great desire of the women, among
the Indians, is to get a big cook
stove and a phonograph. The larger
the stove and the more nickel it hhas,
the better the women like it.

Orpheum tonight.
