from cotton goods markets were of a
highly encouraging character. The up

cotton belt indicating generally favorable
crop conditions. There was some IL
quotation and selling for short account

THE POWER OF THE PRESS.

The Power Of the Press" is COM

its actual power. Deep thinkers do not
hesitate to assert that half the crime of
our country may be traced to this
source. But great as is the influence OF
the press, it cannot begin to equal the
power of HoStetter'S Stomach Bitters

a weak stomach. The Bitters strength

cures constipation. 1t tones up the ner-

people, and an occasional dose regulates
the bowels and prevents well people
from becoming sick. If you want to get

WAR TAX TO BE
AMENDED BY THE
NEXT CONGRESS
Millions of Dollars Not
Collected.
AMBIGUITY IN THE WORDING
Undivided Profits of Banks to Pay a
Tax of Two Cents on Each
One Hundred Dollars
Used.
AMBIGUITY IN THE WORDING

A dispatch received from Washington
yesterday stated that the Internal Reve-
nue. Commissioner was about to urge
upon the members of Congress. at the
coming session, the necessity of amending
the war-tax law, so as to save to the
Treasury many millions of dollars yearly,
which are now uncollectable because of
ambiguity in the wording of the law and
adverse decisions by the courts. Internal
Revenue Agent Burt NJ Thomas of this
city said yesterday that there is much
to do for Congress in this matter, in order
to save millions of dollars now lost to
the Government.
The greatest loss" said Mr.. Thomas.
sis the tax on the undivided profits of
banks. According to section 2, paragraph
2, of the war-taX law, all banks having
an undivided surplus must pay the tax
of cents on each $l00 used in the bank
The Attorney General ruled that und!-
vided profits in banks were not considered
did not have TO pay the tax. So the
Government lost large amount of
money. On the other hand the Govern
ment gains considerable money by the tax
alton Of the shares. In the northeastern
districts of California between $500 900
and $3O0,O0O per year are lost by the fall
ure to collect the bank tax.
Some money is lost on the wine tax
by restaurant keepers serving wine in
pitchers instead of bottles which are
taxed, and also by the use of tax stamps
a second and a third time. This loss
could be avoided by taxing the wine in
the winery, or by having strip stamps
fastened to the cork and to the bottle
in such a way that the cork could not
be drawn without breaking the stamp.
l have no doubt that Congress will amend
the law so that those leakages will be
