DRIVES OUT THE WHALES

Christiania, Jan. 2S.-The war
has filled the Antarctic with
whales. according to the belief of
some whalers who say the mines.
torpedoes and shells in the North
sea have driven the mammals in
schools further north this winter.
One of the large Norwegian whal-
ing companies has just distributed
a dividend of 25 per cent among
shareholders on this seasons
catch. The whale oil refineries of
Norway are sharing this prosper
ity.
While the whales are bringing
wealth to Norway, the report of
the department Of agriculture is
disappointing as to the amount of
crop, yield. which falls about So
100000 below the average year.
Fortunately. the quality Of grain
has been unusually good, and the
higher price due to the war is to
the advantage of the farmers. The
economic loss. however, will be felt
by the country Hay and potatoes
were the only crops reaching their
normal yield.

REBATE TAX LOSS IN
KANSAS IS PLAN Of BILL
Measure in Legislature to Abolish
Plan Now im Use.
Assessment Of PeaalHy for Failure To
Pay Up Promptly.
ONE PER CENT A MONTH
Whole Tax Would Be Due Afta
December 20.


Investigation Of the returns of tax
collections in about Is Kansas counties
has shown that the practice OF granting
a 2h per cent rebate for the prompt
wards of $4,000 a year. This conclu-
sion underlies proposal incorporates
in q bill now before the legislature to
abolish the rebate and revamp the sys-
tenn OF assessing penalties Tor failure to
pay on time. The bill. now In the sen
ate, has been worked out by the state
tax commission.
It is proposed in the anti-rebate bill
to continue the practice Of permitting
taxpayers to pay One-half the annual
tax before December 20 and the other
half before June 20 of the fiscal year
county roll. But instead OF granting
a 211 per cent rebate for the payment
Of the full tax at the autumn payment,
which may be made at any time be-
tween November 1 and December %,
the new bill merely provides the ASSESS
ment of an immediate penalty for fall
ure to pay any Of the taxes.
One Per Cent = Month.
This proposed penalty would be cumu-
lative at the rate OF one per cent q
month. At present, on failure to pay
at least half the tax in the fall 6
whole tax. If the property owner fails
to pay the whole tax by June 20. fol-
lowing. an additional per cent PEN
;lty is put on and the property Is put
up for sale after notification to the
property owner. The new plan would
be to make the whole tax due and pay
able Immediately after December 20 in
the event of failure to make the half
payment by that time, penalties ac-
c--mulating at the rate of one per cent
a month until the property was finally
sold by the treasurer. If the property
failed Of sale at the ensuing September
tax sale the penalty would continue to
accumulate.
While the saving of money now
lost through the rebate system would
be material economy, it is pointed
that 1t would undoubtedly result in
delay in collecting the tax as those
who have made a practice of taking
the u per cent rebate for the sake OF
economy would be certain to delay the
payment Of the last half of the tar
until June. At present approximate
ly 10 per cent of all the taxes are pai6
in December. The remaining 80 pei
cent includes the taxes which go oyel
until the June payment and those
which become delinquent.
To compensate for the rebate which
the county allows on the promptly
paid taxes, it receives the interest or
funds entrusted to bank depositaries
Another item of expense would be the
increased bookkeeping involved in
keeping the accounts of tax payers
now closed in December, open until
the last half tax came in, in June.

It Is Being Fought Along Front
Of 100 Miles.
Teutonic Allies Trying to Drive
the Russians Out.
SWEEP ACROSS BUkoWINl
Already Has Been Halted by
Help of Germans.
Struggle Continues In North
Along the Warsaw Front.

London, Jan. "a great battle has
developed in Galicia along 100-mi1e
front. skirting the Carpathians. This
struggle, which is in pursuance of the
new Austro-German plan Of shifting
the weight Of attack from central Po-
land to the south. may mark q turn
ing point in the campaign in the east
and both the Russians and Teutons
attach the highest importance to the
outcome.
The Austro- German armies, II sue
cessful. would effectually cripple Rus
sia's drive at northern Hungary. Thus
far there are no Indications as to the
result OF the fighting in this battle.
which probably is still in its prelimi-
nary stages.
An official communication from
Petrograd says merely that the battle
Is developing on a large scale.
To the eastward in Bukowina there
Is in progress fighting which is anoth-
er phase of the Austro-German move
ment to drive back the Russians to
their own territory. Apparently the
Russian sweep across BukOwina has
been halted. The Russian report
states that artillery engagements are
in progress, but gives no information
Of the outcome.
The struggle continues in the north
along the Warsaw front. Repeated
German attacks were made. and al
one point, on the Bzura, the attack
ers broke through to the Russian
trenches. The Russian statement says
that later they were expelled at the
point of the bayonet.
In the west the Germans have re-
newed their assaults in the neighhor-
hood Of scissors where recently they
won q decisive victory. In Alsace the
fighting is less intense on account Of
heavy SHOWS.
