HOW WILL IT BE RAISED?

In discussing the question of raising the enormoqs amounts of revenue necessary even during the coming twelve months, an exchange, after demonstrating the utter impossibility of raising the vast amount by taxation, and the Corresponding necessity of resorting to bond issues, concludes as follows: “In a sentence unless the big loans are balanced with heavy taxes upon those who are making money out of the war, we will rapidly and inevitably reach a state of industrial and, social chaos.” ' . The conclusion is. inevitable to the candid person who ’ will give the question unbiased thought. Based on the probability of a need of from fifteen to twenty billion dollars by this time next summer, the demand would mean from S6OO to $750 for each of the twenty million families that make up the nation. It can be seen at a glance that this can never be even approximately distributed among /■ the masses. Possibly a few more billions may be secured through popular subscription, but the great bulk of the required means must come, as out contemporaty suggests, from/ those who are making money out of the (war. If the war continues for even two years longer there will be fortunes made that will "dwarf any the world itas yet seen, provided business is allowed to take its hitherto uninterrupted course. While it is true we will spend prodigious amounts, it is equally true that wo will rriake fabulous amounts. The- ■ allied nations are practically at our

mercy for food and other supplies. Huge revenues are constantly coming' from that source. Not a dollar’s worth of any commodity that can be used by man need go to waste in the United States for want of a foreign market. It is up to the government to correctly analyze the situation ana place the burdens of taxation to. meet these great national expepdi-. tures upon the sholders of those who benefit by war prices. Will our law makers arise to the occasion and make an equitable adjustment of these burdens? Along with some very common, we hare some really good timber in our national legislature, and it is to be hoped that this material will insi t upon a reasonable and just basis for working out this momentous question.

IT CONCERNS ALL.

The man, woman or minor .ho is not concerned as to the outcome of the present Struggle is to be pitied and enlightened. He or she is really unconcerned /through ignorance. They have failed entirely to grasp the true inwardness of the situation confronting us as a’people. Let us suppose that the history of bur country were' to end with the present generation. Does any one imagine that our statesman would be . materially interested in the settlement of the questions in dispute? Hardly. Naturally, then, rt is mainly the future of the country that is to be considered. What that Fl Tl RE is to be will depend upon 01/R ACTION NOW.

It is to the credit of the American people that they have always had a clear vision of the duty of the present generation to posterity. That vision was responsible for the Revolutionary war. It was the stimulus in the war of 1812. And when the Mexican question assumed grave proportions the same thought was at the fore in the national mind. Not so much the interes* of our own posterity as that of our fellow man was the stimulus in the brush with Spain. But throughout her whole life this country ha? never failed to place the true interests of posterity before present ease and comfort. What can be said, then, of the young man or woman who is hot concerned. over the outcome of this struggle? That they have no concern for the best interests of their own. Present ease and comfort weighs more with them than the future of their children, or of the race in general. No nation of people can ever come into their own until present can be subordinated to future- No. present is ever entirely what it should or could be. By the sacrifice of the present we stand a chance of realizing on the future. If all else is to be subordinated to th*present, there * is every possibility of there , being ho future worthy of the name.

TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

AN APPEAL TO THE MEN OF JASPER COUNTY.

Behind tvery movement of Importance lies purpose or motive. The purpose of the movement now .under way in this state and nty ■ is to create .a body .> troops for home protection, sub-, ject only to the orders of the governor. The duties of these troops will be to quell riots and disorders within the state and to assist th l ' civil authorities in maintaining order, whenever called upon to do ■■ - We are cow engaged in war with one of the great nations of the world and many of our soldiers .are already, and many more soon will be. in the field, and thus we are for the moment left without any organized body of troops for home protection. Fighting alone a ross the ocean may not win the war if we at home do not support our troops• in some way; it will be absolutely neccessary for every man ?nd woman to do something.' for our cause. The ladies of Jasper county. .'.have . already . enlisted in tV 1 . cause; many are engaged- in ‘lb d Cross work and- many more are providing garments, etc., for .soldiers, and thus doing their ' en of Jasper county, the opportunity is here for you to do your bit.” Will you do ft?

NOTES OF THE FARMERS’ CLUBS

The green plant lice or “kaiser bugs’’ which have been very destructive to the gardensof Indiana this year have finally reached the truck growing regions of the northern part of Jasper county. Growers of pickles, melons, beans and potatoes will suffer severely unless control measures -are adopted at once. The heaviest losses are being incurred around .Wheatfield and Demotte at present but the insects will doubtless reach all parts of the „truck region. County Agent Learning states that the control of these insects is not especially difficult. The lice are sucking/ insects and are not killed by stomach poisons applied to the surface of the leaves. They are easily destroyed by contact poisons sprayed directly upon the insects. Solutions of nicotine sulphate, sold by druggists of the county under various trade names, sprayed on the underside of the leaves will be found very effective. In spraying on a large scale it is necessary for one' man to lift up the vines from the ground and another “to apply the material with a hand spray pump.,., Applications may be necessary at intervals of three weeks or changes in weather conditions may be unfavorable for the development of the insects and prevent further trouble.

NOTICE TO CAR VSERS If you want your Overland car fixed come to the Overland Service Station, opposite D. M. Worland’s furniture store, where we do expert work; also, if the generator or starter goes wrong we are able to , fix them and we will keep your battery in shape. Nothing too difficult. All my friends that have other makes of cars and want work done will find' us able to fix them also. —M. J. KUBOSKE. Phone 294. si ■ 0- • ....

WHERE CORN IS INDEED KING

(Continued from page one)

From Gilman on south, hovvever, one doesn’t find the roads so smooth, except in places. The; black gumbo-like soil there makes the roads almost as hard as 11.nt. when dry. and there are about as rough as a washboard, with every particle of dust blown off them. At the aviation grounds the government lias already spent an immense amount of money . in buildings’ which have a permanent appearance and th< re arc some twenty-two airships there at present, They do no Hying on Saturday s-—a pparently resting and tuning up. for entertaining the big crowds of visitors each Sunday This camp is located on a splendid level field immediately south of Rantoul and comes right up to the village. Rantoul is a town of perhaps 1,000 people, but the locating of this camp there'has put it on the map and it has become quite an important place. The roads all about there are of dirt and as bumpy as a cat's back', but thousands of visitors come there every Sunday and throughout the week in automobiles and by rail, ’arid the' town bids fair to double in population in a short time. From Rantoul we drove on south and west to Champaign and Urbana, thence to Danville, stopping for a short time in each place. Out of Danville we found several miles of brick pavement —a part of the extensive system of brick and concrete roads being built in Vermillion county*—-and it was surely some road, almost as smooth as concrete and' having a more permanent appearance than the latter. From Danville we drove to Covington, Indiana, the county seat of Fountain county, and stayed there over night. All the way from Rantoul to Champaign, Danville and to near Covington the corn "and oats were; generally extra good. About Covington the. country becomes more broken, the land is not so good and there is of course more waste land. - At 8:30 Sunday morning we pulled out for Veedersburg and thence to Turkey Run, the; new state park of which we have heard so much. The roads were all good in Indiana and in that section were mostly gravel. 1 They wind in and out among the hills with many abrupt and quite dangerous turns if the brakes of one’s car are not iri first-class condition, as it is up one hill arikl down another, with turns and ’twists so that only a few hundred feet of straight road is found almost* any -place in the vicinity oi Turkey Run.

The scenery at Turkey Run is very fine and' timber of all kinds almost abound there, especially sycamores. The rock formation or clifts are quite imposing. From Turkey Run, which is near Rockville, in Parke county, we drove to “The Shades.” which is almost as popular a place as Turkey Run and has some deep ravines with" towering rocks on either side. Hundreds, perhaps thousands, of people were at each place Sunday. They come by automobile from a considerable distance and we noted many cars bearing Illinois license, numbers at the latter place. ‘ The Shades” is in Montgomery county, about a dozen miles from Crawfordsville. This is owned by private individuals and 10 cents admission per person is charged to the grounds, but no charge is made for cars. Refreshment stands and bathing places are within the grounds, also a restaurant and a large hotel. At the latter place a .good chicken dinner is served at .75 cents per. Judging from the cro-wd on the grounds last Sunday this resort is a very profitable one to its owners, although there was seemingly no holding one up to very excessive prices on anything. Here, as at Turkey Run, most of the take their dinner with them. Coffee and iced tea is sold at the restaurant at 2 0 cents per quart, while a whole fried chicken could be had at from $1.25 to $1.50 each, with good fresh sandwiches at six for a quarter. Both Turnkey Run and “The Shades” are interesting places but we would not care, to drive any great distance to visit them again after having seen them Once. From “The Shades” we drove to Crawfordsville and thence home via Lafayette, stopping at the latter place for about two hours. It was a very plehsant trip and a comparatively inexpensive one. We saw some as fine agricultural 'country as , lies out of doors and some that looked almost: as poor, but except in about the broken and hilly country the crops were generally good and everything appeared prosperous. However, there is some just as good oats and just as good corn right here in Jasper
