BOONE TO GET COURT HOUSE
The Supreme Court Today Rules On
Case Involving a 100000
Improvement.

Des Moines, June 23.-Boone coun-
ty will get its new 100000 court
house, voted by the people at an cleo
ton. The state supreme court reyers-
ed the district jurge and held that
the election was valid, permitting the
legal issue of bonds for the construc-
ton of the building.
The case of Francisco Giudice, who
was convicted of killing Howard
Jones in Council Bluffs, was returned
to the district court for a new trial
because of errors in Judgment and
extreme prejudice. This murder
aroused great deal of feeling
against Italians who lived along the
railroad tracks at Council Bluffs. At
the time there was much talk of
lynching and several outbreaks by
mobs occurred. Several houses oc.
cupied by Italians were attacked and
destroyed. Jones, a fireman on
switch engine in the Northwestern
yards, on the night of May II, 1913,
rushed into the yard foreman's office
at IL o'clock with his throat cut HE
was unable to make any extended
but only gasped "Dago.

pened but died before he could set

Sugars
Jumping
Upward

What are We going to eat in
place of sugar." is the question
Tacoma housewives are asking
themselves today as the price of
sweetness goes up by leaps aud
bounds.
Yesterday it jumped Is cents
and today 10 cents.
In little more than two weeks
the retail price has risen from
1920 a hundred pounds to $7.9a.
Figure it out for yourselfa gain
of IS cents in two weeks.
The big wholesalers want the
money; they have a bunch they
can get 1t and as a result tho
lovers of sweets in Tacoma pay
the penalty. That's about the
size of it, say retail grocers to-
day. - :.
But here are a couple of the
reasons" that are also being
handed out, while the. consumers
empty their -pocke.books:
/ Lack of merchant ships to
carry sugar from Honolulu and
Cuba to the U. s.
Great Britain has bought a wad
of sugar from Cuba, largely de-
creasing the supply.
Meanwhile the rumor is afloat
that the big sugar companies
have received assurances that the
tariff is going to be kept up on
their product, and are boosting
their prices accordingly.
The companies which, supply
Tacoma with most of its sugar
are the American Sugar Co. and
the California-Hawaiian Co., both
coast concerns.

TEUT0N TERROR PLOT HEAD


WASHINGTON, Nov. ~.
DIR. Josef GOricar, former
Austrian consul at San Fran
cis.o, Is accused In an Aus
trian embassy statement of
plotting with Russian and
Serbian agents with the In
tent OF disseminating dislOy-
atty among AustrO-Hungar-
ian emigrants.
The statement was issued In
response to the Providence Jour
nails publication of story in
which Goricar is quoted as saying
the country is honeycombed with
German and Austrian spies, direct
ly under Ambassador Won Berns-
torff, and Huber, Austrian con-
sur general of Nav York.
Moreover, Goricar charges that
every Austrian consulate in the
United States is a hotbed of prop
uganda for for the destruction of
munition plants and for the
stimulation of strikes among the
labprers In these plants.
The department of justice will
start an immediate investigation
of Gricar's charges that Core
spondent Archibald knew the con-
tents of his message he carried
abroad to Dumba.

Perhaps the most startling
charge was that an attempt was

Dor.
He claimed, 1t is said, he was

Refusing to get these facts,
Goricar was transferred to Der.

TAX WAR
EXPORTS
BY ellison Gardner.

~
WASHINGTON, ID. C.,
Nov. 12.-Why lot tax the
profits of war munitions
manufacture? This question
will be asked insistently DUR
ing the coming session of
congress.
The taxation question must
be settled even before th5
military preparedness pro-
gram can logically be, taken
up. -.~--.-.--- 49,
The failure Of the income
tax law, due to it's sccrccy
provisions and the fact that
most of the rich men dodge
1t, has made the revenue sit
uation even more acute.
1t has aroused talk of in.
heritance taxes and brought
to the front advocates of the
tax on unearned land values.
But nothing is more obvious
than the logic of the propose
10 tax the huge profits which ar,
now accruing from the manufac
ture of war materials.
The vast increase in this indus
try is limited at in a few figures
available on our exports.
For example, it appears from
The government returns that tbs
ralue of cartridges exported dur.

Of the European war; was. $154,
$50. while In August, 1915, it wa,
e2,284,540.
The same jump is found to ap
ply to gunpowder, other explc.
sives and firearms. For instance
he exports of gunpowder in Aug
lst, 1914, were sl6,S21, and In
August, 1915, they reached the
figure of 5,296,11S.
To tax these articles would BIZ
