including renewals, but not including
reinsurance policies
Policies issued by any corporation
exempt from the income tax are ex-
empt from this tax.
The person, partnership or associ-
alton issuing such policies of insur-
ance is required to make monthly re-
turns and monthly payments to the
government.
Save your pennies today and have
them ready when you go to the ticket
window of the corner movie For every
ten cents or fraction thereof you
spend on the movies you must be
ready to turn over to the government
one cent OF course, the movie pro
prietor may save you the inconveni-
ence OF handling pennies by raising
his admission price a nickel, as many
other persons selling goods affected
by the war tax have already done.
Here is the way the admission tax
and the club dues levies will fall upon
the public:
One cent on each ten cents or frac-
ton of the amount paid for admission
to any place including admission by
season ticket or subscription, to be
paid by the person paying for such
admission, except in the case of chill
dren under twelve, where the tax in
every case is one cent. Persons ad-
mitted free pay the tax on the basis
of the charge made to other persons
of the same class, except employees,
municipal officers on official bust
ness and children under twelve.
Where the charge for admission to a
cabaret or similar entertainment is
wholly or in part included in the price
paid for refreshment, service or mer-
chandise. the amount paid is to be
computed under regulations to be pre-
scribed by the treasury department.
In the case of persons having the
permanent use of boxes or seats, or a
lease thereon, the tax is equivalent to
10 per cent of the amount for which
similar box or seat is sold for the
performance or exhibition at which
the box or seat is used or reserved
by or for the lessee or holder.
These taxes are not to be imposed
in the case of place where the max
imum charge for admission is five
cents or for shows, rides or other
amusements in outdoor general amuse-
ment parks where the admission is ten
cents or in the case of shows, rides
or other amusements (the maximum
charge for admission to which is ten
cents) within outdoor general amuse
ment parks, or in the case of admis
sions to such parks. Where the pro-
ceeds inure exclusively to the benefit
of religious. educational or charitable
societies or organizations, and in the
case of admissions to agricultural
fairs, no tax shall be levied. provided
none of the proceeds are distributed
to stockholders or members of the as
sociation.
A tax OF 10 per cent is imposed on
the amount paid as dues or member
ship fees. including initiation fees, to
any social. athletic or sporting club
where such dues or fees are in excess
of S12 per year, such tax to be paid
by the person paying the dues or fees.

RIGHT is RIGHT

IL is no more true that the state
can do no wrong than when such an
affirmation is made regarding a king
Kings. as everyone knows, have com
mitted frequent and grievous wrongs,
both against individuals and commu-
mites
And states. even under our own
beneficient form of government, have
too often. either through unjust laws
or unfair administrators, inflicted rad
ical wrongs both to persons and prop
erty
In another column herewith is Civ
en- what purports to be the plan to
be adopted by the state land board in
deciding who among the Salmon river
settlers shall stay upon the land with
quantity of sufficient water. and who
shall be advised that no longer can
water be furnished them nor their land
title perfected. We see no reason for
criticism either as to the reduction
of the area TO be irrigated in con-
formity to the water supply. or as TO

that is to be adopted. But what of the
unfortunate victime of the situation
that could only be amended in this
summary manner? Is there to be no
help, no recourse for them? They
find themselves in this position alb
sOlutely through no fault of theirs.
When they undertook to reclaim the
land and make themselves homes they
understood. and had every reason to
believe that the State OF Idaho stood
behind and practically guaranteed the
project in which they were investing
their money, and what is much more,
their years of struggle and hard
work. Are they now to conclude
they are abandoned without a ray of
hope or a hint of assistance from any
quarter? Right is right and wrongs
no one Surely these men should be
reimbursed from some source for their
cash Investments, including improve
ments. and not be left losers beyond
their time and labor; and if the state
cannot impose the burden of this
duty elsewhere, should it not assume
it by Legislation. if there is no other
way?

resentment over the worse treatment
accorded Serbians and Armenians
have proven less successful. Hence,
the relative Indifference shown in re-
gard to the fight in Italy is simply
manifestation of very human char
acteristic.
Regardless of the merits OF the quar-
rel between the Austrians and Ital-
ians, which runs back to the days CT
the Guelphs and Ghibellines, all
Americans must fervently hope that
the Italians will crush the Teutons at
this time when any triumph of the
central powers must tend to prolong
the war and cost precious American
lives. The cycle-long quarrel is of
little interest now, but a feeling based
on a misapprehension of recent Ital-
ian attitude has caused a dampening
of the sympathy which Italy might
have received from Americans in the
past. Before the great war broke out
Italy was united in a triple alliance
with Germany and Austria When the
war started she refused to attack
France and later on entered the war
on the side of the entente German
and Austrian agents claimed that this
was the height of perfidy
AS a matter of fact Italy was bound
only to enter the war should it prove
to be a defensive one The war was
aggressive on the part of the central
powers and Italy violated no argu-
ment by refusing to enter Moreover,
the two central powers laid their war
plans without consulting Italy, so that
had she entered she would simply
have fallen into a skilfully laid
snare. On the other hand, having re-
fused to join in aggressive war had
she refrained from entering on the
other side. the victorious central
powers, after defeating Russia and
France. would have turned on her.
The claims for territory are compli-
Gated, and are not of paramount i'm
portance to Americans, but it is we'll
to keep in mind that the country
which is now invaded by the same
military oigarchy which we are fight
ing, was guilty of no violation of
pledges in refusing to back the CEN
trail powers. and had a valid reason
for joining the allies whether other
motives entered into the act or not

front. The fact is that the further
away from us that battles are fought
and outrages committed, the less at
tention do we give to them. The cry

War Is On.

Without a declaration upon the
part of the United States, war on
Germany has actually COM
menced. The sinking of the
three American ships by German
submarines without notice has
led to open ,hostilities. The
American navy is ready for ac-
ton and light ships have been
sent across the ocean to attack
and destroy German submarines.
The United States submitted to
many indignities from these ar
rogant and murderous Germans
who have conducted a warfare
from the start, which, in barbar-
ity' and cruelty, would have put
to shame the American Indian or
the black men of the Congo.
They have dropped bombs
from Zeppelins on sleeping vii
lagos, numbering women and
children. They have deliberate
ly directed gun fire on the great
Cathedrals of France, destroying
them. They are to-day on theil
retreat in France devastating
the country worse than Sherman
did in his march to the Sea. On
the high seas no neutral natior
has been respected, but thous
ands of people have been SUM
without warning. The sinking
of the Lusitania was probabl.
