A PEACEFUL WAR TAX.
A war tax on a peaceful country
will be a novelty, and that is what
we are likely to have within six
months in this country. The sud
den stoppage of imports caused by
a war thousands of' miles away
leaves the United States without
adequate revenues. There are sev
eral ways to make up the lack.
Ths income tax can be increased,
or inheritance taxes levied. The
excise taxes on beer and whiskey
can be increased. The least de
sirable of all war revenues is that
from taxes on business, such as
checks and legal documents. If
we have to levy taxes that are a
punishment to trade, let them be
upon art cles which the less used
the better.
HUMAN GHOULS.
Human ghouls who haunt the!
battlefields and rob the dead are
little worse than the other ghouls
who. taking advantage of the mis
ery and distress of the innocent
non-combatants, increase the price
of foodstuffs and add almost intol
erable burdens to those borne al
ready by the poor. It is one of the
most lamentable details of our civ
ilization that we permit men to
"corner'’ the necessaries of life for
profit, Martial law, if need be,
should even be declared in a non
fighting nation to prevent the things
which are being done in the United
States today. In San Francisco,
during the earthquake days, an av
aricious grocer increased the price
of milk and mothers with babies j
were without.the means to buy it ,
The grocer was warned by the
Committee of safety, but he failed
to obey the summons or heed the
warnmg. One morning a file of
soldiers visited his shop. Without
giving him time to unpin the white
apron which covered his ample
formTie* was taken behind his store,
placed against the brick wall and
disposed of as the rules of war per
mit and demand. The trafficking
in human wants, beyond the bounds
of necessity, at once stopped. Is
it possible that such preventative
measures may be needed again to
stop this useless and illegal barter
ing in the necessaries of life? War
is horrible enough. Men who re
main at home to add further dis
tress to their neighbors are worse
than the traitors who sell their
country's honor for a piece of gold.
Humanity may be staggered by
the horrors of Europe’s war, but
civilization will not be destroyed.
Millions of men and billions of
treasure may be lost in this devilish
work: thrones may totter, and new
maps of Europe may be necessary
before the end is reached; but man
kind will, on the wreck of these
ruins, build a better civilization
one in which the people, and nut a
few unscrupulous men who feel
that they have been divinely ap
pointed, will rule.
As the people of this country
view the horrors of the European
situaiion they may well take cour
age and thank God that they live
in a land free from such conditions
as those prevailing in Europe.
While moved with profound sorrow
for the awful tragedy that is being
enacted, and sympathizing with the
suffering on the battlefield and the
greater suffering of broken hearts
in homes made desolate by war's
destruction, we yet have a right to
lift up our hearts m thanksgiving
for the blessings of this country in
material things and in the freedom
from the conditions prevailing in
Europe.
In the light of the contrast be
tween the blessings which the peo
ple of the United States are now
enjoying, with the magnificent
crops, of the year and all other
privileges vouchsafed to us, how
small ancTpetty seem bur thoughts
when we mourn because business
is not quite so good as it might be
and because our chances of makirg
money are for the moment not
quite so abundant as in times past.
Let the people of this country
put behind them such pessimism
and such narrowness, and in a spirit
of enthusiastic optimism carry for
ward the work of the day, without
hesitating or halting, and then
there will be business enough for
all and room enough for all when
the temporary disadvantages of the
present situation have passed
away.— Manufacturers Record.

OF THE RESTRICTIONS.
WILL AID IMPROVEMENTS
Cities and Towns Will Be Given an
Opportunity to Secure Capital
on Easy Terms.
The newspapers of the state are ad
vocating the adoption of Bond Amend
ment No. ft. which is to be submitted
to the people at the Septembe elec
tion. Below are some pointed ex
tracts from recent editorial comment
In their columns:
—*—
Blythevllle News-Herald. The vo
ters will have a chance at the bond
amendment again in September. This
will build the towns and cities, and
in so doing will advance the state.
The countryman will not be affected
in the least in taxes charged under
the bond amendment, but should be
patriotic enough to advance its adop
tion and thus increase the value of
his property by permitting the towns
and cities to grow.
Pine Bluff Commercial.- Ollier
States which are f;\«' i#nre progressive
than Arkansas have this provision and
the cities in these states are able to
make greater progress than the cities
of .Arkansas, which are still handicap
ped by the provisions of a constitu
tion which was adopted shortly after
the war in order to prevent a repeti
tion of acts do.ne under the "carpet
bag” government. This is a different
age. The war is over and its effects
practically forgotten. If is now time
for the people to adopt a new consti
tution or amend the present one tn
such a way as to permit Arkansas
cities to make the progress which
other cities are making.
Fayetteville Daily.—The bond issue
amendment is recognized in all sec
tions of the state as a necessity for
the proper building of cities and
towns. The balance of the state other
than pride in the upbuilding of cities
and towns , will have »o inter
est in the measure. They will not he
taxed, but are expected to lend their
moral influence, making it possible
■through the ballot, for the cities and
Jtowns to bond themselves for needed
improvements.
^loard of Trade Bulletin, Elttle
Rock.—..The proposed Bond Amend
ment will enable municipalities to
Issue bonds for public improvements.
With such a good majority of those
that voted on this amendment at last
election, and the people that are be
hind it this time, there is no doubt
the amendment will carry by a good
maority at the September election.”
Texarkanlan.—Bet everybody sup
port constitutional amendment No.
14. That's the municipal bond amend
ment. Make it possible for our cilia*
to grow-. It won’t involve the rural
property to one dollar of tax. but the
country people will benefit by the up
building of the cities. It will make
a better market for their products.
They ousht to give the city property
owners the right to vote taxes upon
themselves for muncipal improve
ment. Every farmer ought to vete
for amendment No. 14 next Septem
ber.
Pe Queen Bee.—The Bond Amend
ment will compel gvery property own
er enjoying the benefit of *nunieipa!
Improvements to bear his share of
the expense. It provides the only way
that this end can be Accomplished.
When it becomes a law the cities of
Arkansas will advance as never be
fore.
Helena Shie’d.—Why oppose the
Bond Amendment? The answer is
that corrupt politicians may get hold
of it and run us. The same class of
persons who offer the bond amend
ment form the initiative, referendum
and recall; and yet the corrupt poli
ticians invariably have a hand in
them.
Nothing wrong in property owners
voting bonds on their own property,
for they or their relatives will pay it.

Macaroni as Food.
The rank which macaroni holds as
a food is shown by the following
comparison: As an energy producer
it outranks lean steak, for it contains
1,65(1 calories of energy to the pound,
while steak has but f>50. While maca
roni costs from 10 to 15 cents a pound
and contains only 7 to 10 per cent of
moisture which is wasted, the lean
steak contains 70 to 75 per cent of
waste moisture. Comparing macaroni,
further, with the ordinary vegetables,
in point of view of energy, it Is found
that white potatoes contain but 365
calories- spinach 95, turnips 160, cab
bage 115, onions 190, lettuce 65.

Memoirs of Napoleon
In Three Volumes
The personal reminiscences of Baron de Mcneval, for
thirteen years'private secretary to Napoleon Bonaparte,
bring out, as no history can, many enlightening and
interesting side lights on the character of that greatest of
leaders. De Me'neval’s descriptions have the piquancy
and interest possible only because he was an actual eye
witness of the scenes and incidents of which he writes.
Their reliability and historical interest can be judged by
the fact that the very conservative French Academy
publicly recommends them. c
