VIDE SCOPE TAKEN
FOR TAXING PROFITS
Farmers and Professional Men
Included in Bill Approved
by Congress.
ITS SECTIONS EXPLAINED
ITS SECTIONS EXPLAINED

Farmers and professional men. hero
totore exempt from. excess taxes, must
pay an excess profits tax if they make
more than $4,000 year, when the new
war tax bill becomes Il law.
While it has been generally under
stood that Uncle Sam in his search for
funds to strengthen his war chest had
hit practically every one from the cradle
to the grave, it has just been developed
by students of the bill that the gigantic
blanket of levies has been spread over
tor, the lawyer and those engaged in
other professions. In fact. the bill
most strikiEgly embodies that play
ground doge'eTel of the children in that
il applies alike to
"Rich man, poor man, beggar man, thief,
Doctor, lawyer, merchant, chief
Compromise by Including Both.
This now idea is the compromise
which grew out of the objection to the
farmer paying excess profits taxes,
raised by the House. and the objection
to professional men paying taxes, made
in the Senate. The conferees compro-
missed by making them both pay. There
fore, every one pays an excess profits
tax. The doctor, lawyer or merchant
chief. if he has an income over $4,000,
will pay in addition to his regular in
come tax per cent on all his income
over that amount.
This tax touches every one in pro-
fessions or occupations, including some
middlemen. according to the construc-
ton placed upon it by the trainers of
the bill.

Flock to Outside Towns.

There has been a big influx of people
into towns outside of London since the
recent moonlight air raids, and at many
places difficulty at first was found in
providing accommodations for the Wis
itors. During the first few nights
many of the poorer people who emil
grated from the metropolis slept in the
open, but since then the authorities
have made arrangements for sleeping
quarters for them in public buildings.
The Shopk eepers in the towns have
done 4 thriving business many of them
having disposed OF all their stocks OF
provisions.
Most of the people return to London
after daybreak each morning. thus
causing a big crush on suburban trains.

Sixty Thousand Prisoners

Entire Austrian Land Troops

LONDON, Oct. 27.--Grave inroads
upon italian territory are being made
by the powerful AustrO German army
that broke thru the Italian lines on
the northern lsonzo front Already,
according to Berlin, no less than sixty
thousand prisoners and 450 guns have
been taken by the invading forces.
The German official statement de-
clares the second Italian army has
been defeated and that almost the en-
tire Isonzo front of the Italians well
down to the Harso Is imperilled by

Rome Admits Crisis.
1t is semiofficially admitted in
Rome that the situation is considered
extremely serious with the enemy
northwest of Gorilla well on the road
to Cividale, which is some five miles
within Italian territory, and seeking
an opening to force his way thru to
the Italian plains. Attacks also have
begun further south on the Carso
front. but these have been repulsed by
the Italians.
Italy's mettle is being critically test
ed by the tremendous Teutonic drive,
which is under command of Emperor
Charles OF Austria, with what seems
virtually the entire Austrian army and
strong German forces estimated at
more than ten army corps.
Crucial Test TO Come.
These grave losses seem to bear out
the German claim az to the fate of
this Italian army, but apparently the
crucial hour has not yet come which

The city of Tulsa exceeds its Lib
600, and the Tulsa district subscribed
for two million or more than its allot-
ment. according to figures made pub
lie last night by n. II. Graham, direc-
tor of publicity.
The citys subscriptions so far as
reported up to last night amounted TO
SG,2S5,25O. Every bank In the city
worked far into the night tabulating
its subscriptions, but none of them
completed the task. Therefore the
exact total will not be known until
tomorrow. When the full returns are
in locally, and the subscriptions for
the balance of the county are known,
the county total will reach S7,000,000,

Everybody Bought.
But the most wonderful feature OF
all is that approximately l2,000 per-
sons in Tulsa county have bought
bonds. This is the largest per capita
subscription in the United States and
shows conclusively that few oil mill
ionaires did not carry the load, but
that Tom, Dick and Harry were as
patriotic as their more fortunate
brethren of wealth
The exact number of subscriptions
recorded is 1l,492, but by tomorrow
night at least five hundred more will
have been added.
"In the first Liberty loan cam

subscribed $6,000,000 and received
about three thousand individual sub
scriptions. This time we wanted to
make 1t popular success. so we set
out to get ten thousand subscriptions

have greatly exceeded both OF these
figures. Therefore Tulsa has every
reason to feel proud OF her record.
The whole nation will be proud of 1t

District Makes Good.
The record in the Tulsa district,
consisting of 23 counties. is fully as
wonderful as the local result. The
total for the district, according to re-

S51,750. The quota was S11 200, 600.
This does not include Cimarron Har-

man feels that when the complete re-
ports have been received 1t will be
found that the Tulsa district has sub
scribed for $4,000, 900. or one-half OF
the quota for the entire state. In
other words the Tulsa district has
