Photographic instructions were re ceived this morning by City Clerk Paul McCleland to close the mill tary registration tonight at 5 o'clock. Tomorrow being Sunday there will be no registration. In formation in the hands of Governor Strong indicates that the Alaska draft will not take place until the coming spring. It will be almost impossible to secure the Teturns from the isolated sections of Alas ks, re-number them, and inform the men before navigation closes this fall, hence the men probably will not be brought out for duty until

me these are the same three stockings
of the same three children I've known
for some time And the stockings
moved a little as they hung down, be

And the tree remembered that the
stockings had said that Santa Claus
never forgot All, how beautifully he
decorated the tree and how proud it

Uncertain Taxes Are Unjust Taxes.
New York World.

NV l OtA W 6Ell.
One Of the rules Of taxation which
Adam Smith laid down 40 wears ago
and which has been universally ar-
cepted by fiscal statesmen ever since
IS that the tax fought to be certain
and not arbitrary But when a tax
law is 50 written that no taxable per-
son can tell what ne must pay. and no
tax administrator knows precisely now
- apply II, and no two trainers of
the law are quite agreed upon its
meaning, we have a tax which is nm
certain and therefore arbitrary and
necessarily unjust in its operation.
This is the now admitted character
OF the excess profits section Of the wal
revenue act, and it is probably the
most horrible example OF the kind
bearing the stamp of American states
manehip.
! 1t is not necessary to repeal tn,
whole act and start anew, as Senator
/ Smoot of Utah advises But it is nee
/ esSary to reconstruct and rewrite tn,
! excess profits section. simply becaus,
! the government cannot afford at an,
time, and most of all ut this time. f,
attempt the collection of over 50 eco
0ao,ooo in Official and general igno
rance of the laws application and il
the certainty that gross injusticcs mus
beset every step Of the way.
The treasury department is now NOV
ing strongly in such a direction unde
the counsel Of both legal and economi
experts who evidently find the situa
! ton almost hopeless as it is, and thi
$ rcassuring. May it not be expeete
that Chairman Kitchin of the hous
ways and means committee will be al
the more stimulated to active leader
ship in the matter Of corrective an
patriotic amendment of the law bv tn
fact that his responsibility for thi
muddle is greater perhaps than that o
any other member of congress.

The Hartford Courant gives this bit
of timely philosophy which is rs good
for Brattlcboro, Bennington or any
other town as Hartford: "Thc rich
man or woman who suspects shortage
of sugar and buys couple of barrels,
rs against a customary dollars worth,
for home use, is creating the shortage
aud using the opportunity to make liy-
ing harder for the poor. Similarly the
rich person who stops buying, so as to
have more money i'm the bank, is TAX
ing away work from those who want
90 get the money by working for it,
Indeed. there is an obligation on those
who have the means to keep business
active. 1t is absolutely necessary to
the strength of the United States treas
any that business should continue. If
it is taxed out of existence by the GOV

There remains the possibility that
