JAPAN PROFITS BY TAX SYSTEM
 OF BABY STATE

AriZona's tax system is being stud jed for possible incorporation in the tax system of Japan. and that many beneficial knowledge concerning tv taxation" already has been received from such a study is the statement of Shigo 1zumi, 9 member of tho Japanese embassy at Washington, D. C., who attended the National Tax conference at Atlanta, Ga, last month and who writes a letter to Charles F. Howe of the Arizona tax com mission.
 Mir. Izumi and Mir. Howe became quite well acquainted at the meeting, and later the two travelled together to Washington. The Japanese was a splendidly educated gentleman, MT. Howe states, and conversation with him was interesting and instructive MT. lzumi stated that he was in the United States principally for the pur- pose of studying the methods of taxa tion here. In response to d request, Mir Howe, upon his return to Phoenix sent to the Japanese two or three volumes of reports of tax commission proceedings

I have now learned in reality Uncle Sam's kind ness by your kindness and am con- vinced of that your countrymen and our countrymen would become deeper and deeper friends with each other. I would pray heartily the prosperity of your dear association and I believe that your association will be the torch | of the good tax legislation and ad- ministration and yield a brilliant merit to states tax system.

Mrs. Grace Humiston to produce her
proof, Raymond Fosdick, director of

"There are a few unfortunate girls
near every camp and we can't help it
under the circumstances, said Fosdick.
"But this story of Mrs. Humiston s is
damnable, because it gives the impress

Austria Down and Out---ItaE-

Omitted Press staff correspondent
| Washington, Nov II. - Estimates
soon to be submitted by Secretary Ba-
ker will cover war costs to the middle
/ of 1919.
The close of that year represents the
earliest estimate of high army and
navy officers as to the end of the war,
and many are skeptical of a conclusion
| by that time. The war cost program is
continuous and so shaped that the
struggle can be financed indefinitely.
Men who have forseen a decision by
the winter of 1918 now say frankly
that the Russian and italian problems
chiefly the Russian-make it appear
| impossible for any victory before an
other year
The outstanding thoughts in inter-
views obtained by the United Press
were
First, Germany is likely to make
new peace move soon, perhaps secret
ly instead of with the usual fanfare.
Second, strictly military decision
lis next to impossible under the pres
Ient war system on the western front
unless the navies take a daring hand
against Heligoland, Wilhelmshaven
and Zeebrugge.
Third, Russia is fully as likely to
drop out of the struggle completely 81
she is to recuperate.
Fourth, the Italian situation as it
now shapes up does not affect the gem
eral military situation critically.
| Fifth, because of recent victories,
Germany would like to conclude
peace, especially as Austria is practic-
lally "down and out" The Italian Of
fensive is designed to revive Austria Is
morale.
Special emphasis was laid on need
for naval cooperation.
"We might as well go on with our
plans just as though we were in for
twenty years of it, said one army Of
ficial GA break within Germany
seems slow in coming.''

Oregon Booze Buyers
May Sometimes Become
Really Easy Marks"

4 The following story is told by the
Benton County Courier;
Some weeks ago a fellow dropped
into Albany and made himself q
''g good fellow" with the club men, and
those who had been in the habit or
'"taking one' occasionally before the
prohibition cork was twisted into wet
Oregon.
i And vet they had the habit.
! After he had made himself solid and
picked out half dozen of those who
used to bend the elbow and who recog-
nized the grand hailing sign of dis
tress, the stranger unbosomed himself
to one of them; told him he had safe
and sure booze route from California
to Oregon, and if any of the fellows
he could vouch for wanted to lay IN
a stock of real good whiskey while his
underground railroad was operating,
that now was the time to hop to 1t:
They agreed to pay $40 gallon Tor
six 6-gallon casks of booze to be de-
livered one mile outside the city on a
certain dark night date, payment to
be cash on delivery and sampllng OF
the goods.
Then the blockade runner disappear
ed for a season, later to snow up again
and notify the boss smuggler his goods
were ready for delivery the next night
at a certain place outside the city. He
was told to bring an auto-and not to
forget the little matter of cash.
At the appointed time both law vio-
lators met. There were six casks and
the bungs were removed from each
head and the prospective purchaser
was given a swallow dipped from each
cask 1t was the real goods. Out was
counted the 5000 and the club man dur
ing the night took the six precious ones
to garage in the city from where
each Of the thirsty six removed them
to their respective hiding places before
the sun was up.
The rest of the story was sad and
dry. We viii not prolong it. The casks
had false tops about an inch from the
head and in this compartment was
about pint of whiskey and the rest
of the cask held about nine gallons
of Willamette river water,

HENRY FORD WILL
BUILD VESSELS FOR
UNITED STATES FLEET
Manufacturer Will Move to
Washington and Work On
Emergency Board

Washington, Nov. 16.-Henry Ford is
going to build ships for the United
States. The Detroit manufacturing gen
ius will move to Washington and join
the United States shipping board IS en-
ergency fleet corporation.
Increased production and greater
speed will be the principal factors he
will deal with.
| Frank Lord, assistant to Chairman
Hurley, who is enroute to New York,
made this announcement to the United
Press this afternoon.
| Ford will not succeed Admiral Capps
now general manager of the corpora
| tion, but will work with Vice President
Piez, who was recently appointed vir-
tually over Capps' head. Ford, who is
in Washington today, told Secretary
Baker, "Uncle Sam can have everything
I've got.o
He offered the government the use
of his Detroit and other plants scatter
ed throughout the country for war work
and his offer will be accepted by the
various war making branches as rap
idly as the buildings and Ford s skilled
labor can be utilized.
Cairman Hurley, who is smashing
through the great shipping program, pre-
| vailed upon Ford to join his forces IN
overtaking the submarine destruction.
According to Lord, the Detroit manu-
facturer is returning to Detroit to ar
range affairs and then come to Wash
ington and take an office with the en-
ergency fleet corporation.
Ford made a meteoric dash through
the government departments today. He
called on Secretaries Baker and Daniels
and dashed around the city with Chair
man Howard Coffin of the aircraft
board, one of the first men in govern
ment service to utilize Ford's plants
for the great aviation program.

Three Killed With Axe
In Minnesota Town

Virginia, Mimi, Nov. 16.-Three vic
tins Of an axe murder were discover
ed today when police found the bodies
Of Paul Alarm, his wife and a board
er, Peter Trepich, in their ONE here,
spattered with blood and their skulls
crushed.
The bodies were found in the shadow
of crucifix. They had been slain as
they slept. The murderer and his pos
sibie accomplices after their brutal deed
went into the kitchen and wrote a note
in an unwavering hand. The writing
is Austrian.
Possible motive was seen in the pat
riotism of the slain persons, who had
purchased liberty bonds with their saw
ings. The fact that the note is In Aus
trian strengthened this theory.
Bitter feeling among miners and
others here over the war has been pre-
yalent for weeks. The latest murder
may be result of this, in the opinion
Of the police.
