HUGE INCOME TAX
TO BE IMPOSED AT
THE NEXT SESSION

Washington, Nov. 3.-The great
American income will be subjected to
the biggest tax of its history by the
next congress.
Leaders of both parties are prepar-
ing an assault on war wealth, giant in
comes and even the savings of the or
binary civilian when the December
sessions take up the burden of raising
billions more to carry on the war.
Already administration leaders are
warning of the impending ear of un-
exampled taxation at hand. The great
financiers of the country-Frank A..
Vanderlip president of the National
City bank of New York and Federal
Reserve Commissioner A. c. Miller in
cluded-are urging the people TO elm
mate useless buying and try to in
crease their savings.
President Wilson will throw his
strength behind the movement to cut
taxes and make the present genera
ton bear the greater share of the war
bill. Congressman returning to Wash
ington after tours through their dis
tricts report a growing demand for
the competition of wealth.
The fight for taxation for war prof
it's and incomes however, will be
changed to remove the faint of paci-
fists and the phrase "confiscation of
riches Heavy taxation will be de-
manded as a matter of cold finance.

near-riot took place at Mountain
Home last week when A. A. Bebee,
paroled prisoner from the state pehi-
Tertiary, publicly expressed the hope
that every American boy who crossed
the Atlantic to fight in France against
Germany would go down. Bebee was
returned to the penitentiary Friday
having violated his parole. He was
sent up from Power county after being
convicted of forgery. A month ago he
was paroled. Later he went to work
for the Boise Payette Lumber COM
pany and fraudulently drew double
pay. The officials were notified and,
the act constituting violation of his
parole, he was taken into the prison
again.
Warden Frank DeKay was notified
by the officials of Gilmore county that
Bebee came near being mobbed at
Mountain Home when he made the
above remark in. a barber shop. The
people who heard it were SO indig-
nant that they wanted to administer
summary justice on the man uttering
such pro German sentiments. Trouble
was averted by Bebee being notified he
had better leave Mountain Home with
out further delay, which he did.

POISONING
CAUSES THE DEATH
OF THREE PERSONS

Riverside Cal, Nov. 3.-What ap-
peared at first to be the accidental
death of three of the A. J. Schneider
family prominent here, when Mr.. and
Mrs. Schneider and their son, Albert
Schneider, 50, died suddenly Thursday
night developed tonight into the most
sensational and battling poison murder
mystery southern California has
known in years.
Following the death of the three
after eating hot cakes supposed to have
contained metal polish, chemical
analysis by City Chemist E. Fl. Bah
cock established tonight that enough
arsenic to kill dozen persons was
mixed with the hot cakes the three
ate shortly before their death. The
cakes had been mixed by Mrs. Schneid-
err 10, and almost blind. What was
first supposed to have killed the three
was metal polish, sprinkled in the
cake batter by mistake for salt. The
chemical analysis disclosed the metal
polish in the cakes eaten by other
members of the family, but the arsenic
only NJ the cakes eaten by the three
Schneiders who died The metal pol
ish was harmless.
Police and detectives directed their
probe tonight into the question OF who
put the arsenic In the hot cakes eaten
by the three Schneiders who died?'
SO far no records have been found
in any CT the local drug stores showing
that any member of the Schneider
family bought arsenic.
Adding further sensation to the
strange case, detectives tonight we're
directing their search for mystery
woman" who was seen near the
Schneider home at the very time of
the death of the Schneiders. She was
said to have been selling medicine of
some kind"
Some advance the theory of an alien
enemy poison plot" but others scout
this angle as improbable, since no
other cases Of similar nature were re-
ported.
