To The war has hit the
motion picture thcaters very hard
and many of the smaller theaters
confront the possibility "f having to
close their doors. There is q tax on
admission, . tax on incomes, = tax
on extra profits, there IL the music
tax on copyrighted music, and still
an extra war tax imposed BY film
manufacturers Of 1886 . year, all Of
which is levied for war purposes.
The manaRers Of motion picture
houses are meeting all these taxes
and obligations to the government
cheerfully and conscientiously, re-
garding this ~ . privilege and duty.
The people Of all the allied nations
are cheerfully paying the tax on ad-
missions and the exhibitors Of this
nation are following the letter Of the
law relative to tax on admissions.
The exact language of the law 10 as
follows:
1.-The Tax 10 to be Paid by the Per-
sons Paying for Such Admissions"
This 10 . slight tribute that

after all, very little sacrsfice to the

LONG HIKE
BY COMP ANY L
Men Made Trip Of Fourteen Miles
This Morning Through
Illinois Coun-
try

Company L took practice march of
about fourteen miles this morning
through the village of Hamilton and
over the middle road in the direction
of Warsaw. The start was made at
seven o'clock from the camp near
Rand park and they returned about
noon. The entire company, with the
exception of those on guard, made the
march and all returned in good condi-
ton. This is very good showing con-
sidering the fact that many of the
men are recruits and this was their
first real experience in the hiking line.
The u. S. army regulations provide
that during the first hour of the march,
that the men shall march forty-fye
minutes and are then allowed rest
Of fifteen minutes in which to re-adjust
their equipment and to care for feet,
etc. On each succeeding hour the men
are required to march for fifty minutes
and rest, for ten minutes. The usual
rate for infantry marching, including
the rests is from IA to 25a miles per
hour. Smaller organizations can make
better time than large forces.
The company marched in what is
known as heavy marching order,
which includes besides the rifle and
belt, the hayersack and pack carrier,
the shelter tent half with the neces-
sary pins and pole, the poncho, blan-
kets, condiment and bacon can, mess
kit extra underclothing, and the ne
cessary toilet articles. The combined
weight of the equipment is in the
neighborhood Of sixty pounds so it is
easily understood that it is a mans
work to carry this equipment for
twelve or fifteen miles under a blaz-
ing sun.
1t is planned to take one OF these
marches at least once week in order
to harden the men and to accustom
them to hiking. Sometime in the near
future it is planned to take a longer
march, one that will occupy a whole
day or more. This will necessitate
camp over night and will give the men
practice in cooking up their own
bacon and beans"
