AUGUST 31 1917 WAR AND TAX REFORM, War is sometimes an accelerator ot reforms which drag because objectors to change can plead that there is no hurry, Tax reform has interested this country for a gen* A Uniform State Taxation System - or a Federal eration. It has not rl6eu to an Issue which divided the country, although System Needed, small elections have turned upon it sometimes. Inheritance and income taxes of comparatively recent Impor­ tance as national topics are seen upon closC view, to lack consistency and uni­ formity, The late Hetty Green, who lived where she owned most property, New York, the most o f the time, waB declared a resident of Vermont Gen­ erally legal residence is a choice of the rich. They may live where it pays best The federal government Imposes both income and inheritance tax, Two thirds or more of the states have in­ heritance tax; but hardly any' two bear alike upon a given estate. State in­ come taxes also vary. In fact, it is the ununiform -divorce muddle over again. Since Income and inheritance taxation Is aimed at persons o f opulence it ought to be uniform apd not be a greater burden pro rata on wealth in one section than it is In another sec­ tion, The solution seems to be that the states mold their laws strictly upon federal acts or abandon such taxation to the federal government. A portion would be returned to the state where the taxes are assessed. Out budgets are based upon property tax and this really falls more heavily upon people of small means than a graduated In­ come tax with low exemption would. No property owner ipscapes. But in­ come and inheritance taxation 1neces­ sarily exempts the ones, who should be protected, Objection to a large army composed of men whose fealty is pledged to an individual may be based in the worthi­ est motives. .The principle has worked harm to ilie state and to the array— Instance the Janissaries and the Prae­ torian guard. In.the sixties both the north and the south found it wise to transfer generals or detach their troop3 in order to break up combinations of the kind. , . Japan’s rice crop for 1010 broke all records by a margin of over 6 J 500.000 bushels.* And yet as soon as scarcity oif potatoes turned attention to rice as a substitute- the price of rice leaped up. Here is one food commodity where high prices cannot be blamed on Dame Nature.[ A big corps of otiv fiercest Indian warriors armed with tomahawks and . scalping knives would be one striking Way of having the new world march back into thcvcivilization of old, deca­ dent Europe. In this land of boarding houses it ought not to be difiicnlt to mobilize a force of efficient food dictators. ^ , • It as now In order for any who have even snubbed or sneered at the farm hand to, apologize.

PBOHiemON DOES PROHIBIT Figure* Of the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce Show That Voting Statea Dry Hat Put M Check on per Capita Consumption Until it Hat Reached the Smallest Figure uSinbe 1902. Washington, Di C,—Figures of the Bureau of Foreign, and Domestic Commerce, made public by the Meth­ odist Board of Temperance, Prehi- tion, and Public Morals, show that the per' capita consumption of spir­ ituous, vinous, and malt liquors dur­ ing the fiscal year which ended June 30, 1916, was 19,40 gallons. This is the smallest figure since 1902, To indicate the remarkable tend­ ency towarcLincrease o f consumption of liquors, an increase checked by the Prohibition movement, the following table showing pe.r capita consumption in gallons for decade-years is given: Per capita consumption of liquor in gallons in United States : 1850........ ;...................... 4:08 . 1860 ............................. 6.43 1870 .......:..................... 7.70 1880 10.09 1890 .......... 15.53 1900 ............... ...17.76 • 1907..................... 22.79 . 1913 ...... 22.68 1916 ............................. 19.40 Percentage of Increase. ^ Increase 1850 to 1860 ................ 57.5 Increase I860 to 1870 ..J.__ ____ 19.7 Increase 1870 to 1880 .......... ..... 31.0 Increase 1880- to 1890 ................. 53.9 Increase 1890 to 1900 ............ ... 14,2 Increase 1900 to 1907 .......____... 28.0 Decrease 1907 to 1916..........1..... 14.8 It will be noticed’ that from 1850 to 1907. the consumption of liquor ad­ vanced by leaps. This advance was not checked until 1907 when the vet­ eran " Prohibtion , states o f Maine, Nqrth Dakota, and Kansas began to be re-enforced by later recruits to Prohibition. Since 1907 the decrease has been 14.8 per cent, which certainly does not indicate that Prohibition has not affected the tendency to consumption of liquor. If the dry movement had not arrdsted the tendency to increase, and tKe per capita increase during the nine-year, neribd between 19(57 and 1916 had been as great as during the seven-year period from 1900 to 1907, the American people In 1916, instead of consuming 19.40 gallons of liquor per capita, would have consumed 29.17 gallons per capita or 10 -gallon more than they did consume/ In passing it should be remarked that the federal government compels the. manufacturer, after whiskey has been in bond eight years, to with­ draw apd tax-pay it, at which time it is registered, as having been “ con­ sumed,” although, as a matter of fact, it may hot have been consumed at all. .■■■: ■ HUGE DEBTS BURDEN BIGOHIOCITIES LiquorTrafficDacscsExpanses toSoar. Columbus, Ohio,—According to the report df the State Auditor for 1916, the funded and unfunded debts of the 79 cities of the state aggregate $223,- 293,549,. O f this huge debt, more than two-thirds is owed by the five cities of Cleveland, Cincinnati, Colum­ bus, Toledo and Dayton. For the year 1914, according to the Auditor ‘of State, the cost of the po­ lice to the cities of Ohio aggregated $3,317,476.75, This item cost the five cities above mentioned moye than two-thirds of the entire sum, In fact the cost o f the police in these five cities was $2,394,808.25, The salaries of policemen, office ex­ pense, sustenance of prisoners, etc,, cost Cincinnati $1.98 per capita for the year; Cleveland, $1,5. Dayton, $1.2l; Columbus, $1,16; Toledo, $1,25, Compare the per capita cost of police departments in these big wet centers with 36 cents in dry Ashland, 38 cents in dry Van Wert, 34 cents in dry Athens, 43 cents in dry Bellefontaine, and 44 cents in dry Cambridge, If Cincinnati’s police force and maintenance of prisoners cost only as much per capita as the police force o f dry Athens, she would pay for this item $136,739.50 instead of $796,- 966.85. On this item alone she Would save in a year $660,226.35, This is a third more than the entire sum Cin­ cinnati receives annually in liquor tax. It is worth remembering that While these five wet cities have two-thirds o f the saloons of the state, with the big revenue from these places, they also have more than two-thirds of the indebtedness of all Ohio cities, and mere than two-thirds o f the tost of the police departments of all the cities of the state.

E>., Tsacher of English Bible In the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago,) {Copyright, 1V1T, WasUraNewspaperUnion.) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 2 THE SHEPHERD OF CAPTIVE IS­ RAEL. LESSON TEXT—Ezekiel 84. . GOLDEN TEXT—The lord is toy shep­ herd, I almll not want.—Psa. 23:1, . With the complete subversion of the kingdom of Judah, the national consciousness was largely crushed «nd„ the people were without heart for the common affairs of life. Ezekiel, though born in Jerusalem, prophesied In Babylon near the River Kebar. The object of his prophesying was to en­ courage the captives by placing before them God’s-promise of their return to tlielr own loud. His name signifies, “God will strengthen," which Is very appropriate to the xatsston which in the providence of God he was called upon to fill, BI. Israel’s Faithless.Shepherds De­ nounced, (vv. 1-10), These false shep­ herds Included the kings, princes, judges and priests. Ezekiel points out that the captivity was because of sin, but he shows that the greatest guilt obtains with reference to these lead­ ers. They were placed in the position to care for and protect the sheep. The following indictments ore brought against them: 1. They fed themselves Instead of the flock (v. 2). They were essential­ ly selfish, They ministered to them­ selves Instead of tiie sheep. Too many today are filling public offices for the sake of private gain. Sometimes even ministers are found who are more con­ cerned about themselves, their pleas­ ures and profits, than they are about the souls of the people who support them. 2. They were cruel (v. 3), They were not only mere hirelings, guilty of looking after themselves, but they act­ ually behaved like robbers, preying upon the flocks. All are guilty o f this same sin who use their influence and power to the disadvantage of others, In the theocratic kingdom such behav­ ior was peculiarly obnoxious, as the rulers and ministers were representa­ tives of Jehovah-himself. The minis­ ter and public officer today is acting in his capacity for God, not for him­ self, therefore he should make the cause of heaven his chief concern. 3. They: neglected the diseased, wounded, wayward, and lost (w . A6). uelty As a result of their selfish cruel the sheep- were without food; there­ fore exposed to disease; had no bond of unity, .were exposed to the ravages of wild beasts, God’s flocks are in many places thus suffering and dying because they have not been fed. God’s judgments are against such (vy> 7-10). II. The Faithful Shepherd, (w , 11- 16). The Shepherd here is none other than Jesus Christ. The wonderful blessings here described will be real­ ized by Israel in mlllenidl times. This blessed condition w ill.be ushered In by the second coming of Clirlst. How sincerely all should pr.ay, “Thy king­ dom come.” .When the true-Shepherd comes: 1. He will seek his lost slieep (V, 11). Though they have gone astray through wilfulness on tlielr part, and neglect on the part of faithless shepherds, Jesus will seek them out and save them, 't o save the lost was his pe­ culiar mission (Luke 19:10). 2, He will rescue them from the power of tlielr enemies (v. 12), God’s sheep lmve real enemies and they have fallen.4nto the enemies’ hands, but the Faithful Shepherd is able to deliver them, “No one is able to pluck them out of his. hands" (John 10:28, 29). 8. He will bring them back to their own land (v. 13), Poor, scattered Is- rnel.shall one day .(may It be soonl) be brought back to their own land. This Is the one unmistakable sign by which we may know the beginning .of the end of this dispensation. Be as­ sured that it is not wars, nor pes­ tilences that mark the sign of the dose of this age, but the movements of Is­ rael. 4. He will feed them (w . 14, 15). “I will feed my flock, and 1 will cause them to lie down, salth the Lord God, I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them with judgment” ’ 5. He will seek that which was lost (v. 10), That which has. been driven away he will seek and bring It back again, 0, He will heal them from weak­ ness and suffering (v. 16). All the wounds which Israel has received these many centuries shall be healed. III, The Golden Age (w . 23-27), The vision of the world as it now is, Is most disheartening. It is midnight darkness. In this blackness we won­ der why God does not interpose. We wonder how ho can be silent While midnight is upon us we are hopeful, for we see the bow of God’s promise of better things flung across the sky. This present order shall disappear be­ fore the new. In that new order; • 1, Jesus Christ, David’s- Sou, Shall be king (vv. 23, 24).' This new era of blessedness can only, come Into reali­ zation when God’s Son shall establish his kingdom upon the earth. FRANK L. JOHNSON, .Attorney and Counselor-at-Law XENIA* OHIO.
