D.-H.-tf 1 Facing New Conditions N OUR opinion, the acid test of popular government is approach- ing. By a ce-operation never equalled, we have helped to win the greatest war in history. This crisis has brought our people from all walks of life together for the com- mon purpose. We must keep gether. It will not do to relax our | efforts now. We have problems be- fore us second only in importance t winning the war and it will require the united effort of all our people in patriotic service if we are to win the victory of peace. We must build up a new civilization in which individual qualities will play a larger part--the rating of a man must be based upon what he is and does, and not upon whose son or grandson he chances to be, or the amount of money he has. We face a future that calls for stout hearts, clear and vigorous manhood. The war has saddled us with a very heavy burden. and to meet it successfully demands an in- crease of our man-power and the necessity to maintain it at the maxi- mum. Indeed. after orderly condi- tionsare established themost import- ant of America's assets is man- power. How shall this be built up? The way is open and easy--military training of youth of the land. Four year's experience has demonstrated the necessity for this and made our duty clear. We have put through our training camps over two million young men and we know what it has done for them. It would be hard to overstate the benefits. They have learned per- sonal hygiene, how to care for their bodies and to ward off disease; their mentality has been speeded up. their shoulders squared and broadened. their lung capacity, on the average. nearly doubled. They now stand erect, with muscles hard as nails-- they are fitted and ready for any undertaking requiring courage and endurance. They have learned obedi- ence to authority, one of the greatest lessons for our youth to learn and sorely needed by most of them; they have increased self-respect and a proper consideration for the rights of others. and have acquired a keener appreciation of the duties and obli- gations of citizenship. to- | ( also enabled the state to collect large The touching of elbows in the training camps of boys of all nation- alities, from all parts of the country and from all walks of life, and train- ing. them without distinction, will prove to be the real melting pot that will Americanize our citizens of the future and create a common bond of sympathy and understanding that should keep our people together and to destroy, or at least minimize, class distinction. Every boy in the land will be better for such training. This training would be very bene- ficial to middle-aged business and professional men, as has been de- monstrated at Plattsburg and Fort Blake, | | Farm and dairy work are well | OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS HENRY P.

Wright (Director of Finance.) HE, state tax rate to apply upon T the 1918 property assessment, has been fixed at 75 cents. The reduction from the 90-cent rate of last year is largely made possible be- cause of the operation of the civil administrative code, passed by the; last general assembly. This law has | additional amounts of revenue from fees, licenses, and other indirect sources. For the first time in its history the needs of the state have been properly | financed, in other words the work- ing balance in the treasury will en- able the state to meet all of its obli- gations until the end of the next bi- ennium, which will expire June 30, 1919. None of the money to be re- ceived next spring from tax collec- tions based upon the present rate, will be used until July 1, 1919, when the appropriations to be made by the next general assembly will become available. The working balance in the treas- ury has enabled the state to take ad- vantage of all cash discounts, and its centralized purchasing agency in making purchases for cash, has the | | ficient, careful, interrupted service. for Chicago Office: at less than express rates," 66 W.
