ONK EFFKCT OF WAR TAX
We entered this month on the war
tax period, l.et us hope it will not
develop into a war tax era. This new
war tax is laid upon every one of us.
even to the hermit and recluse, for
even they must have things on which
a war tax has been placed. We shall
feel the war tax bear down indirectly
more heavily than it does directly,
but the daily reminder with every
letter we send and every place or
amusement we attend will make us
more beenly alive to the fact that we
are living in war times. While we
are waiting for the “big news," there
will not be a day when the war tax
does not force itself on our attention.
It will be an omnipresent and sleep
less messenger telling usthat the
only possible way to get rid of the
war tax is to win the war. and the
only way to win the war is to keep
on with the mobilization of all our
resources anil all our energies. The
war tax will serve as a constant,
powerful stimulant to do our best.
the war in germane
Oi all peoples, except the Belgians
and the inhabitants of Northern
France, the people of Germany are
hardest hit by the war. Conditions
m some sections oi Russia, Boland,
Serbia and Armenia may he consid
ered as modification of this statement,
but considering,*as a whole, any oi
the great nations now at war. the
statement holds good.
Consul Roth, formerly stationed at
Plauen, furnishes ample and imlus
putabb* evidence of the widespread
misery, degradation and industrial
disorganization that will not be re
paired in years, even under most fa
vorable conditions. And from the
same authority we learn that as be
tween the Prussian government
which rules Germany with a rod ol
iron, and the people who >ubmit to
that rule all is not beer and skittles.
There are hunger and degrading con
ditions and discontent fast verving to
hopelessness. There is, in tact, all
the bitter fruit of war, save the de
vastation by the shock of arras, and
the occupation of the country by a
hostile army.
How time flies! It is just a few
days over a year that we had a presi
dential election and territorial elec
tion.
The reason for the Italian defeat
is given i 11 one brief sentence: the
men were not protected with artillery
and they could not stand up l>efore
the heavy German guns.
It is now high time one begins
saving for the Thanksgiving dinner.
fhe average man thinks that a sat*
i> far ton income is one about twice
the size he is earning.
With the turning on of the clustei
lights last night, another metropolit
an appearance was added to the city.
Alaskans in Seattle are urging tin
opening of the coal land.'. Alaskans
in Alaska will so doing something be
sides “urge.”

A JITNKY JINGLK
lty J. I\ M.
l*o open up our hall of fame,
R. J. Weir sounds like a good name;
Without his railroad in our midst.
Some ot' us could not long exist.
He afford* us by fertile brain,
Some new ideas about a train;
His moving mountains, so immense,
Proves value of experience.
His rail extension has progressed
‘Gainst adds which many have not)
guessed;
Hut with our congress in accord,
Next year he'll reach this deep-sea
We have a reason to digress,
Just for a minute to express
Appreciation of his stealth
And value to our commonwealth.
