jOwner of The Star Offers His Income for WarSAN DIEGO, Cal., April 7.?(By United Press) ?The following telegram was sent to President Wilson today by

E. W. Scripps, founder of the Scripps newspapers, one of which is The Seattle Star:<<I STRONGLY urge that we should pay as we go in the war, with income and inheritance taxes. All incomes of

* over one hundred thousand dollars a year should be conscripted. The minimum cash pay of soldiers andsailors should be not less than three dollars per day during the war. Such legislation would cost me much morethan half my present income," ?*. /. ?*«

EDITOR'S NOTE?Fine, Mr. Scripps! The Star, a part of your organization, has been advocating this for some time. The big incomesSHOULD carry the burden of the war. DOLLARS SHOULD BE CONSCRIPTED AS WELL AS MEN.
