A I A 111 SYSTEM The same rate of federal income ; , and inheritance taxes here i hat Eng land had In 1914, would have pro duced nearly $900,000,000 in reve ! nues for the federal treasury, or ll times as much as our federal income taxes amounted to that year. Since i hen the rate of reel taxation in England has more than doubled, so that her rat. applied here would pro duce upward of $2,000,000,000 of revenue for Uncle Sam in l 91 7. Why Isn't ibis the only fair way to pay for "preparedness"? Tax those most able to pay, Instead of piling indirect taxes upon the consumption of those least able to pay. Denmark did just this, a few years ago; heavier taxes upon larger incomes paid for her naval additions: "no burden was added upon small farmers and work ers." American farmers will pay cheerfully their just part of really needed government expenditure, but they hate to be imposed upon. The people generally insist thai the gov ernment pay its way —that prepared ness be- paid out of new or higher taxes, not bidden by bond issues. For the same reason, the public insists ii em rigid economy from all offi cials. Public waste., if stopped, would alone- defray a large share of the cost of any well matured plan of preparedness.—Northwest Farm stead. The more Pullman and the State College develop In size and beauty, the more people will want to visit this community. Many of them will come in automobiles and prefer to camp out rather than to stay at ho tels. Within the las' few days sev eral such parties have visited the city, but found no suitable place for parking their machines and making their camps. Accommodation for ibis class of tourists should be pro vided. An excellent location would be the flat in front of Ralnej park, if the land could be leased. There Is plenty of room and shade there and water could be easily piped to the grounds from the artesian well In the park. Good parking accommoda tions for auto tourists would be a splendid advertisement for the city. There is a notable reversal of form in the context of the democratic and republican national platforms this year. The democrats are now "point ing with pride" and the republicans •'viewing with alarm." The real issue on which the campaign will be de cided Is whether or not the people approve of the policies of President Wilson. Sines the lease on the city ball I'ark has been given up Pullman has no adequate play ground for the young people. This is i serious mat ter which deserves prompl attention. If no place is available where the boys can work off their surplus en -> in playing baseball, football and other games, they are pretty likely to ;"';'i the habit of loafing on the streets and forming bad habits, Instead of engaging In whole some spoils. Neither the .ity nor the school district is in a financial condition to provide a playground Bnd it appears to he up to the pub lic spirited citizens to mccl this self evident tie. .1 of the young folks In tin- pursuit of happiness! *^! m*^ mmmmmmmtma^— ew s— It appears that Colonel Roosevelt has beat a hasty retreat from Am magedon <<< ■' ceased to battle for the Lord.
