WAR TAX BILL INTRODUCED.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 21.--
Representative Underwood introduced
the war tax bill in the house today,
the ways and means committee re-
ports it tomorrow and Thursday the
debate begins. Except as to taxes on
beer, wines and gasoline it closely fol-
lows the Spanish war bill.
The method of collecting telegraph
and telephone tax is different. The
sender is not required TO afix stamp,
instead the companies keep record
and remit one cent for each telegram
and telephone call, adding the tax
to the consumers bill. Messages cost
ing under fifteen cents are immune,
and local telephone calls are not af-
fected.

Bishop oailor, Tennessee:

MANY people thought Statewide
prohibition to be the ideal remedy.
Instead Of calling to their aid some
experts on the subject and having
laws framed that could be enforced
they forced through the legislature q
measure that has lead to civic degcn-
eracy. It is impracticabls and its vic
lation Is productive Of hidden and
shameful evils. You cannot pass laws
that way. The reformers should
leave law making to wise experts, and
be content with educating public ssntt
