Smokes, Drinks, Amusements
and Many Other Things
r. Will Be Assessed

It is safe to say that every person
in Hawaii will be affected by the war
revenue bill, for, contrary to general
opinion, the poor man as well as the
rich will feel in one way or another
the pressure developed by the new
taxation. ..-.......
II you are not blessed with wealth
like your more fortunate or unfortu'
nate neighbor, IL may still be that you
will feel the pinch Of the tax because
your wife allows he: otherwise stinted
pride the use of imported perfume.
Ii may be that the only thirst
quencher you can lavish on yourself
during the warm Hawaiian days Is a
glass of soda at the fountain, while
your ueighbor is quaffing more
sparkling beverage at the bar around
the corner Both of you are drinking
goods on which the tax has been In
creased. ,.-..
The man who smokes 25-cent cigars
is tasting a fragrance made sweeter
by an additional tax, but the man who
rolls his own" feels the press Of the
war bill, and the papers he uses are
taxed higher than before. OF course
not every commodity has tax which
is paid for by the retailer; some are
paid by the manufacturer, but IL the
old theory that the consumer always
gets IL in the neck holds good, Mr..
Common Man should be vitality inter-
ested in the big measure.
Here are some features OF the bill
as II passed the senate, and evidently
in about the form that Il will become
a law. Features that are known TO
have been changed are left out in the
following summary:
BIC Profits Must Pay.
The tax strikes deep at the individ.
ilal with the big profit. Under the
normal tax the old rate OF payment
was 2 per cent. Now It is 4 per cent.
But IL is the surtax changes which are
interesting. BY the old law the exemp-
ton from surtax was any sum below
$40, 900. This has been decreased to
$4,000. Here is the rate for yearly In
come:
Five Thousand dollars TO $500, one
per cent; $500 TO $4,000, two per
cent; $4,000 to $l2,500, three per
cent; $12,500 to $4,000. fourfper cent;
$4,000 to $4,000, six per cent; 10000
TO $4,000, eight per cent; $4,000 to
$4,000, ten per cent.
It Is Ii per cent between $50, 200 and
$50 600; Is per cent between $4,000
and 500, 600; 20 per cent between
500, 600 and $150, 900; % per cent be
tween $4,000 and 100000; 80 per
cent between 100000 and $4,000;
"a per cent between $3.50, 900 and $500
600: 81 per cent between $soO,00o and
$500, 600; 40 per cent between $500, 900
and $750,0oo; IS per cent between
$780, 900 and 81 900, GOO; and so per
cent for all above 100000.
Exemption 5asis.
Many persons will be interested in
the next exemption rate. Instead of
$4,000 as formerly for single men it
becomes $1,000. For married lcn It is

 today by Minister Reinsch at Pekin, with the prediction that a final rup- ture might be expected at any time.
 TheIe is no intimation that China is prepared as yet actually to join in the war against Germany. although diplomatic circles here confirm Pekin dispatches saying the entente, led by Japcn is urging the Pekin government to declare war and exchange her large supplies of iron and other war ma terials for permission to increase her customs duties and postpOnement of her boxer indemnity China has shown her intention to enter the war and had been said here that she would hold to that course.
 Recent appeal by the former presi- dent, Dr. Sun Vat Sen, to premier Lloyd-George of England to stop the allies from trying to bring China into the war provoked discussion as to whether drastic action by the Chinese government would be supported by the people or would lead to popular uprisings. Dr. Sun is realized to have tremendous influence in the south of China.

THIRD LEGISLATURE COST STATE SMALLEST
 SUM IN ITS HISTORY
First Two Legislatures Were Very Extravagant - Each Had Extra Sessions-Was Well Under Average.

The cost of conducting the third Ari- zona state legislature was Sss than either of the two preceding sessions, according to figures compiled and es- timated by State Auditor Jesse L. Boyce. The total estimated eXpendi. ture to the state will not exceed S49, 900. according to MT Boyce.
 Complete figures up to Thursday March s. show an expense of Si6.' 190.92, but of course there have been additional expenses since that time which will increase the total, it is be lieved. to the above mentioned figure
 The first Arizona legislature in 1912 cost the state total of S49,937.17. A first special session added s22. 2.4S9.64 a second special session added S51,' 316.sS. and a third cost an additional $25,707.27. The total cost of the first state legislature. therefore. represent ed an expenditure of $149.45091
 The regular session of the second state legislature cost the state a total of S52,S45.50. The first extra session added $2f,612.36 to this figure and a second special session represented an additional expense of s22.010.S9. The total cost of the second legislature was therefore S99.405.75.
 It will therefore be noticed that the third legislature cost approximately s1 900 less than the regular session S the first legislature and approximately S4 1000 less than the regular session oi the second legislature. But in reality the savings was much greater. For in stance, the total expense of the tirs legislature was S1f9,450.91. while tn, total expense of the third session vii not exceed $i9.OOc The savings. there fore, totales almost S100.000. While the difference is not so great between the second and third sessions, the lat ter, however. cost the state but slight ly more than half Of the eXpenditurt for the second session.
 State Auditor Jesse Boyce has com piled the following figures. showin! the expenditures for the third legisla ture up to March s:
 Salaries of members, S22.6S0. Thi was the amount of the original appro priation. which was unchanged.
 Salaries 3f attaches. $15,612. Tn, original appropriation was S13,320, bu was changed by house concurrents re solution No. 2 to $15.S2O.

Again the French and British war offices record gains against the Ger mans in France. Striking in the Champagne region on a front of 1900 meters west Of Maisons de Cham pagne the French recaptured all the positions previously taken by the Ger mans on ridge 1855 and also invaded a German fortified work. One hun dred prisoners were taken in the operation.
 As yet the full details of the cap ture of Bagdad by the British have not been made public. although an- nouncement was made in the British house of commons that there was req son to believe tWo thirds of the Turk ish artillery had been captured by the British or thrown into the Tigris and that in addition large numbers of prisoners and quantities of material of all kinds were taken.
 Again the Turks are reported by Petrosrad to have made further re- treat in Persia. this time leaving a position near Bisitun, twenty miles northeast of Kermanshah, and retiring toward Hadjiadad. Bisitun was oc- cupied by the Russians.
 In Macedonia there has been an in- crease of artillery activity in the Presby lake and the Cerna river sec tors, probably presaging an early re commencement of hard fighting in this region.
