Do You Know
Information on Timely Topic
Compiled by The Forum.

Do you know how the proposed tax
on excess war profits will be levied !?
The term taxable years" means
the twelve months ending Dec. 81, ex-
cepting in the case of q corporation or
partnership, which has fixed its own
fiscal year, in which case IL means
such fiscal year. The first taxable year
shall be the year ending Dec. 81, 1917,
except that in the case of corpora
ton or partnership which has fixed
It's own fiscal year II shall be the
fiscal year ending during the calen-
dar year 1917. II a corporation or
partnership, prior to March /, 1918,
makes a return covering its own fiscal
year, and includes therein the income
received during that part of the fiscal
year falling within the calendar year
1915, the tax for such taxable year
shall be that proportion OF the tax
computed upon the excess profits dur
ing such full fiscal year which the
time from Jan. /, 1917, to the end OF
such fiscal year bears to the full fiscal
year.
The term 'pre-war period" means
the calendar years 1911, 1912, and
1913, or IL corporation or partner
ship was not In existence or an indi-
viduai was not engaged in q trade or
business during the whole of such
period, then as many Of such years
during the whole Of which the cor
poration or partnership was in ex-
istence or the individual was engag-
ed in the trade or business.
War profits are to be determined by
deducting the average income for the
pre-war period from the net income
for the taxable year. The tax on war
profits Is graduated from f2 70 80 per
cent.

An Editorial That May or May Not
Square With The Forums
Opinions.

New York Evening Post: An Or
ganization to Improve the Habits Of
Insects is in order now that the
whole country is gardening. New
England reports that the yellow
rose beetle, which once satisfied it
self with flowers and an occasional
grapevine bud, is rendered desperate
by the prevalence OF unitarian
plants. The Hartford Courant accuses
1t of turning to the young peaches,
eating into them, and running them.
Orchardists know that peaches have
enemies enough, and this threatens
to be the last straw with some. 1t is
understood that the potato bug, both
the common striped one and the
Colorado beetle, are as numerous
this year as usual. The Hessian ny,
the chinch- bug, the tobacco worm
and cut-worm, the grasshopper and
locust, have not been heard to de-
clare a cessation of l,oStilities till
after the war; If previously harmless
insects are suddenly to turn upon
food plants. our case is n dire one.
Since rose beetles are said to be
susceptible to suggestions for a
change of diet, why not suggest d.
rections in which a foray would do
no harm? No one would object to
rose-beetles and chinch- bugs dining
heartily on a thistle. But the pessi-
mistic farmer will answer that bugs
can be reformed only with a sprayer.

roc MUCH rERRlToRY.

General Chang Hsun's personally
conducted king restoration, seems
destined to be short lived.
At the last news from China, Gen.
eral Chang and his puppet king were
surrounded in Picking, and General
Chang seems to stand an excellent
chance Of having his honorable
throat cut, and his honorable body
disposed of in some dark Chinese
stream. 1t is a pleasant way they
have Of disposing Of enemies in
China so they win never be trouble

General Chang's career was a pic

aries apparently tackled job that

AN OUTLAW ORGANIZATION.

Sabotage Is one OF the chief
weapons Of the I. w. w. 1t openly
advocates the destruction Of machin-
cry. the throwing Of pitchforks and
monkey wrenches into threshers and
binders.
Its Official song books have ditties
telling the wonderful results that
may be accomplished In the way Of
getting higher wages, by the we'll
planned destruction Of property,
1t is not surprising therefore that
such an organization should plot to
burn crops.
Associated Press reports from
Sioux Falls state that a conspiracy
has been unearthed there to burn
the crops OF South Dakota when a
favorable opportunity presents.
I. w. w. organizers are undoubt-
eddy behind the strikes that have
paralyzed the copper mining indus
try Of the country. and that are con-
stantly threatening the iron mining
industry.
Labor unions are based on prin-
ciples of honesty, and the keeping of
contracts when made. Even those
who oppose unions do not charge
them with the violation of contracts
once made. But the 1. w. w. is an
outlaw organization which considers
any concession gained from employ
ers. as simply a better foundation
for another strike. 1t wants all of
the product Of capital and labor
considering capital as being merely
a myth. 1t would have the laborers
receive all of the product OF a fac
tory or q farm. There 10 no COM
promise in its program. There
should be none in any fight waged
against 1t.

MAY TAKE OVER WHISKY.

The United States senate wants
Uncle Sam to go into the whisky
business, and spend from 100000, 900
TO $1,000. 900 for the purchase of
whisky and distilled liquors remain
ing in bond.
John Barleycorn apparently had a
good healthy kick left in his sin
soaked old corpse, after all. The
house adopted a ''bone dry" amend
ment to the food bill. prohibiting the
manufacture of foodstuffs into
beverages Of any description. The
senate amended it by permitting the
manufacture of beer and wine. but
prohibiting the further manufacture
of distilled liquors. with a provision
for taking over what stocks were
left at cost price plus 10 per cent.
What is Uncle Sam supposed to
DO with this great stock Of liquor?
Give it to the soldiers and sailors?
Or open some saloons of his own
and sell it? Or pour it into the
sewer when money is needed for so
many other better things?
The senate bill means virtually no
prohibition at all, for two years at
least. Wines and beer may still be
manufactured. and the stock of
whisky on hand is sufficient for at
least two years.
There is but one solution Of the
liquor problem-absolute prohibition.
Until that is adopted, every bit OF
legislation suggested must pass the
scrutiny of the liquor lobby. John
Barleycorn's influence permeates the
entire government, and anything he
opposes faces exasperating delays,
and long bitter fights. Uncle Sam
has his hands full with Germany,
and cannot afford to waste his time
and his energies in a never ending
battle with this enemy at home.

ures Of famine and torment conf
panion the ghosts that might

the First district are not tied
down politically. They will not
vote for o man under the thumb

be dictated to in regard to Sc
lection. But with the four can
didates before their eyes they
will vote for the man best fitted
by superior mental attainments,
national loyalty and unpledged
futures, to represent them In the
halls of congress.
Political freedom and the
great majority Of organized
workers, enjoy 1t.

70 be devoted to the unfiagging pur-
suit of a cautious, statistical truth.
Cold naked facts, alright statistics,
were to be its contents. 1t was sup
posed to be as untouched with emo
ton as a dictionary; az icily imper-
sonal as the encyclopedia
Mr.. Creers romantic soul fretted
under such restrictions. The Pegasus
he rode, was a knee-sprung, rheu-
matte, asthmatio animal. He longed
TO electrify 1t. He wanted Fourth
of July thrill for the nation. and he
prepared it. He manufactured q
magnificent fight between German
submarines and the American con-
vows for the troopships that took the
American soldiers to France.
It took place at night and 1t read
like a Jules Verne novel. The only
drawback was that 1t was about 90
per cent fiction, and Mr.. Creel was
forced to admit 1t.

ANCESTORS.
It is a simple thing to be an an
cestor once you get the trick OF 1t,
though few can say whether IL is
much fun. People have always pre-
ferred to be descendants. Lots of
descendants are very proud of their
ancestors and In fact almost all de-
scendants are more proud of their
ancestors than the ancestors are of
their descendants. To get anywhere
at all a man has to have all of his
ancestors and IL there was ever any
one who don't have his full share of
them he probably died of the shame
OF 1t. It would be very hard to find
you had no ancestors, In fact IL
would be impossible. Some people
seem to be doubtful about it, how
ever, and are at great expense to- get
the names and addresses of their an
cestors just so they can feel easy on
the point. Science shows that for
every man. alive today there were
enough ancestors four or five CEN
turtles ago to fll trainload Of cars
although railroads then had not been
invented. It is probably a good
thing that most ancestors lived quito
@ few years ago instead of today.
Today 80 many people live in flats.
Il would embarrass a conscientious
painstaking ancestor to have to live
in a fiat.
