Dubuque, Ia, Jan 8.-(Special.)
Hundreds of inquiries received
at the Office of the collector Of
internal revenue for Iowa indi-
cate general ignorance of the fact
that congress, just before ad-
journment for the holiday recess,
re-enacted the war revenue emer-
gency act in it's entirety for one
year, dating from January 4, 1916.
This is the law which requires
stamp taxes on deeds, notes, ETC.,

and imposes special taxes on
bankers, brokers, pawnbrokers,
commercial brokers. theaters,
public exhibitions, pool and bill
lizard tables, bowling alleys, COM

ers and manufacturers of cigars
and tobacco. Unless the war
taxes are paid during January
double the amount of tax will
have to be paid thereafter.
The returns of individuals and
corporations must be made before
March 1 to avoid heavy penalties.
For the fiscal year ending June
80, 1915, Iowa corporations paid
the government S469,172, and in
dividuals subject to the tax s264,-

cRossLEY 70 DEAD
OF AFFIRMATION

George w. Crossley, who was
found unconscious in his room at
the Kiel hotel in Council Bluffs
Thursday morning, with the room
filled with gas that had escaped
from a partly open burner, died
shortly after 5 o'clock yesterday
evening. Mr.. Crossley never re-
gained consciousness after being
taken to Mercy hospital. Every
means known to medical science
was resorted to in the effort to
save his life, but in vain.
The members of Mr.. Crossley's
family were promptly notified of
his serious condition and drove in
from the farm and were with him
to the last.
Came for Funeral.
Mr.. Crossley's death was due
to his desire to attend the funeral
of General Dodge. He had been
in very poor health for several
years and had been extremely frail
since the terrible accident on the
farm that caused the death of his
talented son, Prof. Bruce w.
Crossley of the Ames college fac
ulty, on January 23, year ago.
Mr.. Crossley came to Council
Bluffs Wednesday afternoon and
stopped at the Kiel hotel. His
health had improved during the
last few weeks and he felt strong
enough to attend the funeral on
Thursday afternoon.
Sometime during the night he
arose and ignited the gas in his
room and it is believed he .acci-
dentally partly turned the valve
after extinguishing the light. It
is not known at what hour the ac-
cident occurred, but the odor of
escaping gas was not detected un-
til 8 O'Clock in the morning.
Large Land Owner.
Mr.. Crossley was one of the
largest land owners in western
Iowa. His farm, located about
seven miles east of Council Bluffs,
comprises about 1000 acres of
land, valued at from Si00 to 5000
an acre. 1t is one of the model
farms of the state and Mr.. Cross
ley was noted as successful
stock raiser. He had lived on the
farm for sixty-one years, and had
acquired the, greater part of il in
the early days. N
He was born at Nottingham,
England, sixty-four years ago and
consequently was only 8 years old
when he came to this country with
his parents, who settled upon
land that is now part of the
farm.
Three Children Survive.
Mr.. Crossley is survived by his
widow, one son, George H. Cross
ley, and two daughters, Misses
Belle and Mabel Crossley, all liv-
ing at home. Two sisters also
survive him, Mrs. E. j. Orr Of
Logan, Ia, and Mrs. Fletcher Of
Council Bluffs.
Mr.. Crossley had never recov-
cred from the shock caused by the
death Of his son, Bruce, who was
fatally injured when his clothing
caught on the shaft of an engine
in the dairy on the farm. The
father was in the hospital here
at the time Of the accident and It
was feared then the shock might
be fatal to him. Arrangements
for the funeral have not been
made. Council Bluffs Dept. of

EIGHT HOUR DAY
TO REMEDY EVIL

The Transportation Brotherhood S
Publicity Bureau has submitted the
following:
When an engineer has drawn a
check for 1858 and a conductor a
check for $247 for a months work, the
railway may call attention TO this,
but neglect to say that these men
worked 10 hours and % minutes every
day in the month and secured most
of their slep in a box car "caboose''
out along the line Later. when these
men lay off to recuperate, their big
check must, of course, dwindle, and
soon these men are broken down and
dumped on the "scrap heap" with the
other old machinery, and may be
taken in by some kindly relative or
perhaps find room in some distant
home maintained by the employees
organizations. Thus they conclude
their days-these soldiers of the great
transportation army, these men who
have safely transported countless
numbers of passengers and endless
trains of freight. Though the engines
and cars become larger and yet larger.
and though the trains become even
longer, and though the hours of service
become more intensely fierce, the rail
way employe still measures up to his
