SHOULD CONSULT THE PRESIDENT.
Iteluetama •<( tin lb-publican controlled Semite toward consulting the
President regarding the peace treaty j-.-vors too much of Idas to escape con

possesses a finer appreciation of their true portent. l»oth for the present and
heard them discussed by the greatest statesmen in the world in every phase

huilded upon principles and theories which he. himself, conceived and ex

If the senatorial toga wearers are really desirous of learning what the
t.on in conjunction with the greatest political thinkers of the day.
It seems, however, that the desire to avail themselves of the Presi
dent's informative rapacities is not In especially close conjunction with the
alms of the senatorial objectors. To the disinterested observer it truly
appears that most of them are little inclined to resolve the treaty question on :i
basis of faiyies.s and dispassionate impartiality. The very violence «»fl*thc!r
verbal assaults can hardly fail to suggest to the man up :• tree that there is a
bigger object in view than a rlesire to preserve the naticn from the theoretical
evils they so vociferously advance as the reasons for their opposition. This

tion of what the treaty means for America, they should lay aside ;^ll prejudice,
particularly of the political type, and consult the President, who. by reason of
his long study of the subject and close intimacy with the processes and eor

THE COST TO AMERICA.
Estimates made by the Treasury Department place the war debt of the
t’nited States, exclusive of the loans made to the Allies, at approximately
eighteen billion dollars. interest on this amount at the average rate of four
and one half per tent will amount to approximately seven hundred and sixty
live millions yearly, all of which will be raised by taxation. In addition, a
mm estimated at about four hundred and seventeen millions will have to be
provided every year if the bonds issued for war funds are t > be redeemed1
within twenty five years.
Assuming that the debt will be paid within a twenty five year period
it will he necessary for the American people to provide about $l,2*(k000,000
yearly for that period. As it Is necessary to raise this huge sum by taxation
methods, it will he appreciated that the public can look for little or no reduction
in the present high federal taxes for some years to come. As the outstand
ing bonds arc gradually taken up. the rates of taxation can be lowered pro
portionately but there is hound to be no more than a relatively small reduction
during the next few years.
A billion and two hundred millions in extra taxation yearly is a some
what heavy burden to have laid upon our shoulders in these days of abnoijnal
prices and when the high cost of living alone keeps the purse of the average
person in a sad state of deflation. Hut, at that, it is light compared to the
taxation burdens forced upon the peoples of the nations associated with us in
the war and is also a cheap price to pay for the attainment of the superlative
objects for which we entered the world struggle.
By lending our weight to the Allies we have secured our own safety
from possible German aggression in the future and have also attained the
equally benefleient object of making the world safe for Democracy by de
stroying the last remanant of autocracy, therby making the world a-different
place for millions of others beside ourselves.
Regardless of all other considerations, the fact that it has been our1
privilege to brjng freedom and self government to tens of millions of people
should provide ample compensation to jiH of us who are appreciative of the
liberties we ourselves enjoy. ,
