In lroquois the farmers generally

the farmers are "apin" it. So they're

know that the best roads south from

road to reach the Indiana state line.
II is expected this will be finished IN
the spring. lroquois county's share, for
the most part, is bad going. The north
half of Kankakee county's stretch is
fair macadam. with some concrete
around Momonce. In VIII county the
highway is all macadam, some OF 1t

JUDGMENT URGED
NF|X|NG WAR TAX
Head of Newspaper Publishers
Suggests Levy on Bene-
ficiaries of Conflict.
WOULD PROTECT BUSINESS

Urging that no special taxes be i'm
posed on a few lines of business, but
rather that an excess profits tax be put
on In an increasing ratio so that bust
ness which is getting special beneht
from the war will pay the greater por-
don OF the tax. Hopewell L Rogers,
president OF the American Newspaper
Publishers Association. has given out
the following statement on behalf OF
that association:
-One of the first lessons learned by
England at the beginning of the pres
emit war was the necessity of the con-
duct of business in as near the usual
and regular manner as possible, and 1t
took special pains to warn all Its col
onies on this point.
Under ordinary legislative conditions
business adjusts Itself to the laws or
rules laid down in regular and or
derby manner and the prices of goods
manufactured are fixed in relation 10
the laws passed The fixing of taxes,
however, affects business more serious
II than any other form of legislation,
and In any attempt to raise unsual or
excessive amounts of money for any
special purposes, as the carrying on OF
q war, the legislators should use every
care to see that there is as little dis
turbance to business as possible

INSISTS BUNDLE TOTERS
SHOULD HAVE DISCOUNT
Mrs. Baker Declares Plan Workable
and Carriers Should Get Saw
ing in Delivery.

Mrs. Newton D. Baker. wife of the
Secretary of War, chairman OF joint
committee Of consumers organized by
the National American Woman Suffrage
| Association, today made a statement
! explaining further her ideas on econ
omy in store deliveries. Her plan of a
discount to those who carry home their
own bundles has been laid before the
District Council of Defense.
/, I'VE women will do our bit. but the
| merchant must do his" said Mrs.
Baker I'VE are now paying for de-
| livery service. If we carry our own
| bundles and save the merchant the
| trouble and expense of delivering them
| he should give us discount IN re
| turn"
! The Joint committee of consumers,
| headed by Mrs. Baker. was appointed
| as a result of a conference at which
were represented. besides the suffrage
association, the District Federation or
Women's Clubs, the Central LABOR
Union, the Consumers League and the
women'S committee or the b4SliicI
Council of Defense.
Mrs. Bakers statement continues:
ITO eliminate deliveries without a dis
count to the purchasers VINO carry
their bundles is equivalent 70 ralsirs
prices 8 or per cent-for that, they
service in the grocery and dry goous
trades. AS a war measure, II amounts
to a tax, with the merchant as tax
collector while he himself Is exempt
They say that women, who constitute
so per cent of the buyers, should make
lit possible for the merchant TO eliminate
most of this cost, thereby releasing men
and equipment for the service OF the
government If we do the carrying we
ought not to continue to pay hlm Tor
what he does not do. He should give
us a discount on every bundle we carry.
, Some merchants are saying that they
can not give discounts because they
must treat all customers alike 10
they think they would be treating US
all alike If they continued to charge
everybody for delivery service when
many of us were carrying our bundles!
TT is perfectly true, of course, that
customers abuse the delivery service
and return privilege. We hope to edu-
cate them to their responsibility IN TINS
matter We are willing to abollsh
special deliveries, or to nave tnen
charged for extra, and we are wiling
to eliminate so far as possible the re-
turn privilege. But first. the public and
the merchants both must realize that
the public is now paying for those
privileges, and deduction must be made
from present prices in order to give
those of US who are careful the beneht
of our economies

Quoted for the benefit of posterity and
the entire burden should not be put

ly the government should not attempt

by the people within the next Two or
three years. II Congress had adjusted

that additional revenue was necessary

twentieth of the total amount to be

Congress must really endeavor 10
make as little change IS possible in the
conduct of business, and war profits
must bear the greater portions of this
burden. The Chamber of Commerce OF
the United States has gone into this
question very thoroughly and has sug-
gested a reasonable and practicable
form of taxation which would remove
the necessity Of taxation of any special
industry and at the same time would
place the greater burden on those
many businesses which are making
special profits due to war conditions.
Congress seems unwilling to consider
this fair method of taxing. but is APP

War Has Hit Business.

This muddled condition possibly ap-
piles more particularly to the news
paper business than 10 any other line.
It is not necessary to say that the
newspapers are willing and glad to
stand their full share of this burden,
but the business has been particularly
bad for the last year or two. and the
haphazard method OF Congress seems
TO be an endeavor to punish them. or

special discriminatory taxes in spite
of, and in addition to. this otherwise
unfavorable condition
TN the American Newspaper Publish
ers' Associations resolution of June 81,
II went on record as being opposed to
any such special and discriminating
tax. and In expressing my agreement
with this position I can say I believe
that the condition should apply TO any
and all business in the same form. Let
us have no special taxes on few
lines Of business. but rather an excess
profits tax put on in an increasing
ratio so that business which is getting
a special beneft from the war will pay
the greater portion OF the tax.
Such an excess profits tax would
avoid the necessity OF such propositions
as the taking over, at a time when due
consideration can not be given to this
matter, of control by the government
of the natural resources of the country
paper, which is directly dependent upon
such resources. A prompt and proper
excess profits tax levied for a reason

would do much to adjust business con-
