WAR TAX TAKES
EFFECT DEC. FIRST


Denver Nov, 30.-The far reach
ing effects of the European war will
be felt in a small way by telephone
users, according to the announcement
made here today by the United States
Internal Revnue Department. The
new revenue tax on telephone and
telephone messages goes into effect
December LIST all over the country,
and a government tax of one cent
will be collected for every message
amounting to fifteen cents or over
Officials of The Mountain States
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
operating in the seven mountain
states, have been busy for the past
month notifying exchanges in all parts
of the system of the manner in which
this tax is to be collected and turned
over to the government. Notices have
been sent to each of the 10000 sub
scribers in the system and placards
containing the provisions of the new
law are to be posted in every pay
station. According to the law all
long distance messages amounting to
fifteen cents or over are taxed one
cent, whether from private telephones
or from public or pav stations. Toll
calls from private telephones will be
counted by the company and taxed In
a lump sum on the monthly bill. Pay
station customers will be required to
drop a penny in the coin box of the
telephone when their call is made.
The effect of the new law will be
lllJGIbSlHuS III IlIo NoSCCIu SOuuCiJ , 1,
where the number of pennies in cir
culation is proportionately small. Ac-
cording to officials of the United
States Mint in Denver, all pennies
are coined in Philadelphia and ship
ped through the local mint and sub
treasury for distribution. No short
age of pennies is anticipated, as the
banks throughout the country have
been supplied in the Last few weeks.
In some cases, according to officials
of the telephone company, the cost
of collecting the tax from public pay
stations will exceed the tax itself, but
the new law is stringent and requires
the collection to be made on every
call.

THE BUTTE SITUATION.

The Butte situation is quiet, yet
it's labor troubles is far from ADJUST
ment. The insurgents are just as de-
termined as they were when they
first seeded from the Western Fed
Grafton of Miners to have nothing
more to do with Meyer They are
signing new members every day for
their Independent union, and there is
no doubt that the new organization
will be an important factor in the
Butte camp. 40 attempt has been
made by the federation, which holds
contracts with the mines to force the
insurgents out Of work, and If such
tactics are adopted it will be crucial
time for Butte. The seceders are in
tent on holding out for the manage
ment Of their own affairs and are pro-
ceeding peacefully What the future
holds only time will tell.

suits Of which cannot fail to be OF
great interest TO all thoughtful per-
sons Blanks are To be sent out to 80,
600 railroad men who were affected by
the difficulties which arose between
the Illinois Central and Hartman lines
and their employees thirty-th
months ago. The roads called it a
strike, the employees regarded it az a
lockout, but by whatever name, the
loss in wages and the inevitable de-
priyatiun and suffering have been the
same. II is fairly safe to reckon a
wife and two children for each of these
$4,000 men, and if that basis is accept
ed, there is good-sizcd city repre-
scented 10y them. The questions are of
this sort.
Since the strike have you lost your
home because YOU could not make the
payments Were YOU compelled to
take any of your children out of school
and send them to work." Was your
wife compelled 20 take up work to
earn money because you were forced
out OF your job" Have you been
forced to get along with poorer and
less food and clothing for yourself and
family since the striker" Have you
had sickness in your family since the
strike, directly or indirectly caused by
poverty DO YOU know of any strik-
cr or member of his family who COM
mittcd suicide because of the poverty
into which he was forced by the
strike"
There are ffty-two Of these ques-
tions, by which it is sought to ascer-
tain how many homes have been
broken up, how many men have been
made tramps how many wives have
sought work to which they were un-
accustomed, how many children have
suffered.
1t is not difficult to imagine. in a
general way, what the sum of the re-
plies viii be. 1t will be story of the
cost Of struggle between employers
and employed, only it will present but
one side. The loss TO the employers
did not presumably, cause so much
actual deprivation. but it was a loss
all the same. 1t il "a good idea, this
