SATURDAY, JULY 21. 1917. THE WAR Not much heavy fighting on the different fronts during the past week. Rut ail the Allied armies have been nibbling at the German ami Austrian lines. The startling war news of the week was the announcement from Berlin of the resignation of Bethmann- Hollweg, German imperial chan cellor. Several other high official* of tlie German government went out at tlie same time. An Associated Press dispatch from London reports that, four of the largest and most modern of the Ger man submarines were destroyed by American warships which w'ere con voying tlie first installment of American troops to France, accord ing to a report from German sources as contained in a Berne dispatch to tlie Rome News Agency and for warded from Rome by tlie Central News Agency. American reports are silent as to the correctness of tlie above. At the State Capitol I)KN V KK. J uly 13-In gathering data for use as an argument as to why the corporations of Colorado should pay an increased corporation tax, Secre tary of State James R. Noland has brought to light several startling facts concerning tlie laxity of Colorado laws in tlie matter of the taxation of cor porations. Mr. Noland’s records show that there are now incorporated in Colorado 9,179 domestic corporations with a total capitalization of $1,900,- 000, 000; in addition them are (107 for eign corporations with a total capital ization of $4,149,228,040, of which $261,417,359 is employed in the State of Colorado. These two corporations under tlie present law pay to the State of Colorado, it is pointed out by Sec retary Noland, only a trifle more than $40,000 a year as a capitalization tax. Under a schedule prepared by tlie secretary of state and based on tax ation charges made in many other states, it is proposed to collect from the corporations $312,100 a year in stead of the insignifleantsum now col lected. Mr. Noland emphasizes at the outset that he nor any of the other state officials have the least desire to in any way gouge the corporations. He simply takes the stand that the present tax rate is a farce and that it had better be wiped from the books entirely than for the present joke law to be continued. Secretary Noland’s proposal to Gov ernor Gunter last mouth that a meas ure be enacted authorizing the main tenance of public market places where such are needed to combat the food shark lias been adopted and the hill will be introduced by Cleui F. Crowley, Democratic Floor Leader and Representative from Denver. Mr. Noland has received assurance from a great many legislators, both Repub licans as well as Democrats, thAt they will assist hi in in every way possible in having tlie corporation tax and tins public market measure enacted. During the first six months of this* year the inheritance tax department under Attorney General Leslie Hub bard and Inheritance tax Appraiser Richard F. Ryan, lias collected over a quarter of a million dollars. Tlie ex act figures are $252,348.64. During the last two weeks of June tlie depart ment’s collections were $13,751.31. Tiie total figures for the half year almost approacli the advance esti mates for the entire biennial term. Signs Point to Allied Victory It is a long ways from the seat of war and the reports are none too elaborate or satisfactory; but it does seetn as if tlie ailied forces are fight ing with more of hope and ultimate success than are the Germans. The French and British are enthusiastic and press forward with a vigor that pressages victory, or at least victory is present before their eyes; and they are doing better work than two years »K‘>. Victory apparently must come slowly; there is no possible hope of a sudden cessation of battles; but the allied gain, now that the Russians are lending a hand, seems to be sure and certain with every added day.— Grand Junction Sentinel. Men are like fish. Neither would get into trouble if they kept their mouths shut.—Hunter When a man comes to know him self well his conceit disappears. Be not simply good. Be good for something.—Thoreau STAND BY THIS EMBLEM What’s Wrong With Germany To find out what is the matter witli Germany it is necessary to go to the source of German Ideas—to the think ers who have fashioned her ideals for tlie last two generations, says the Colorado Springs Telegraph. Following are some quotations which tell Hie tale. They are tile words of the men who have been most widely read and most widely believed by the Germans of today. These thinkers have put into un qualified statements tlie principles upon which tlie Prussian power was founded and lias grown great. Like all philosophers they have simply re flected in their books the world about them. In turn their statements of tlie national ideals have had the effect of strengthening and crystaliziug them. Here is tlie German creed: “Not only must the state be obey ed. it must be venerated as a god. Success insured by might is the measure of right.”—Hegel. “Weak nations have no right to existence, and must be absorbed by powerful nations. Tlie essence of the stat*! is power. Nothing exists or can exist which is superior to the state.” Treitschke. “The state can do no wrong. Tlie observance of treaties is not a matter of duty but of advantage.”—Adolphus Liissen. “Love God above all tilings and thy neighbor as thyself. This law can claim no significance for the relations of one country to another. There never has been and never will be un iversal rights of men.”—Bernhardi. “Morality is a symptom of decad ence. War is as necessary to the state as slavery is to society. Might is tin! source right. There is no right other than that of theft usurpation and violence.”—Nietzsche. There, are Americans, says the Telegraph, who believe in such theo ries and try to practice them. For them we maintain penitentiaries and electric chairs. We do not honor them with decorations nor place them in the chairs of our universities. No American has ever successfully pub lished a hook upholding such doc trines. In Germany such books can lie bought, at any news stand. Is it any wonder the Germans say we can't understand them? War Levels AH Classes We overheard a “slacker” state a few weeks ago that tills is a rich man’s war and let them fight it out, or words to that effect. As a matter of fact, the well-to-do citizens of this country are stepping right out in front in every activity pertaining to the war. The ricli men are giving of their wealtli as never before in tlie history of this “money mad” country. The sons of rich men are enlisting on every hand and are anxious to go to tlie front. The Astors, the Armours, tlie Roosevelts and scores and hun dreds of tlie young men of the riciiest and best of the men of this country are not holding back in tlie least. In no other way is tlie evidence so strong that this is not a war of tlie money power or an effort to get something out of war conditions. The leading manufacturers, who were making millions out of the war inunitions contracts, have turned over their plants to the government work at a hare cost of manufacture and they are ready and willing to be taxed heavily on all “excess profits.” In fact, the bill fixing the war taxes places the burden almost exclusively upon the rich of the nation. There is not a single bit of justice in tlie assertion that the ricli are in any way seeking to avoid their share of the war burdens, either on the battlefield or in tlie matter of finan cial Bupport.—Grand Junction Sen tinel. A Historic Name Butte, Mont.., July 13 —Ethan Allen a direct descendant of the- original Ethan Allen of Fort Ticonderoga fame, was accepted for enlistment in the United States Marine Corps here today. •He has been principal of a school in this state for the last three years, and has also taught in Ohio and North Dakota. Allen's enlistment recall the early days of American history when Fort Ticonderoga was held in turn by tlie French and British until finally cap tured by his illustrious grandsire in 1776. It is another reminder of wiping out of old differences between nations, happily now serving together against a common enemy. Chinamel THE Secret of the rare quality of Chi-name!
