 If Otto Kindt of 219 Curtis street again resorts to methods of the cave men with his wife as a victim, it will mean thirty days in jail to think it over, provided the authorities be- come aware of his conduct This was the warning given him by Judge John H. kirkham in police court today when Otto was arraigned for assault upon his wife. In addition to the jail sentence, operation of which was suspsnded~1pending good behavior, g. fine of $5 and costs with probation was imposed.
 Otto admitted that he was accus- toned to chastise his wife whenever he gets drunk and admitted further that he gets drunk on an average of twice a week, Tuesdays and Saturdays. He is employed in the milling room of the Stanley Works. Relative to his conduct yesterday, he testified that he was under the influence and probably handled Mrs. Kindt violently, if wit nesses said SO, but that he could not say as he did not remember a thing about it.

Exempted Husbands
Wives Well Too Soon

Because sick wives recovered too
soon after husbands had been ex-
empted from the army is the basis
for the reopening of two cases from
klamath county by the appeal board
for the Second District of Oregon,
says the Eugene Guard.
"Uness the board receives further
convincing testimony that these wives

ber of the board, stated.
Another case reopened was that of
a man excused from service because
he was engaged in buying horses for
the government.
1--WE have been informed that he
is spending too much time loafing
around cigar stores" Mr.. Travis said.
ut is going to be pretty hard for
these fellows who are found lying
around cigar stores to get exemp-
tions, especially upon the plea that
their services are needed at home to
aid the government"

Grain Smut Control
Is Aim Of Big Drive

o. A. c., Corvallis, Oct S.--To con-
troll the smut disease Of wheat and
other grains in Oregon, the U. s.
Department Of Agriculture has ap-
pointed five students of o. A. G. to
go into the field and assist farmers
in treating the seed. These men are
all specialists in smut control and
were carefully selected by the heads
of the farm crops and plant pathology
departments. The entire expense Of
their work is borne by the Office OF
Cereal Investigations. These men
will demonstrate the college methods
Of treatment, hold public meetings
and distribute directions for treat
ment.
Smut is one of the worst diseases
that affects wheat in many parts OF
the state, and eradication will go far
to increase the yield and better the
quality of Oregon grains.

Greater Tax Comes
From war Profits

Following the passage in the SEN
ate of the $4,000, 100000 war rev.
enue bill, and while awaiting the final
action Of the conferees with respect
to the adjustment Of all differences
In the measure as 1t passed the two
branches of congress, Senator Charles
L. McNary, senator from Oregon
made a public statement in which he
said:
II voted for the revenue bill upon
its final passage as the war can not
be fought without money; yet, |
hoped that a greater portion of the
revenue could have been collected
from those colossal institutions which
are enjoying the fruits of war and
are thriving upon the enormous ex-
lpenditures made necessary by this
world conflict. I would not advocate
a revenue policy that would disturb
OF frighten business nor would I sup
port a measure that considers the
Iprofiters too tenderly.
"The only objection I have to the
bill now in conference is that It did
not bear down more heavily upon the
reapers Of large war profits. For ex-
ample, the Dupont Powder Company
made annually from 1913 to 1915 in
elusive profits amounting to $1,000
900, while in 1916 its profits climbed
to the stupendous sum Of $S2, ,00O,-
900. The United States Steel Corpo-
ration made in the year preceding our
entrance into the war $4,000, 900
and, based upon the first six months
of the current year, 1t is estimated
that its profits for 1917 will rise to
the unprecedented figure Of $780,
100000. Many other similar exam
pies could be cited, though these are
of the larger class.
zone excellent result obtained in
the senate was striking from the bill
the provision relating to table taxes
those upon tea, coffee, sugar and
the like. Every dollar now paid is a
dollar and accumulated interest less
to pay in the future by the long and
distressing process of taxation, which
eventually falls upon the shoulders
of the great mass of the people. A
failure sufficiently to tax great prof
its, which are an accompaniment of
war, and an over-issuance of bonds,
brings about initiation, increase in
cost of living and commercial distress
following the arrest of war, and for
these plain reasons | supported every
effort to impose a heavy load Of taxa
tion upon those thriving institutions
which are enjoying harvest Of prof
its above the dream of avarice."

Catches All In
the War Tax Net


100000 war tax bill which was
passed and sent to the president yes
terday Catches almost everybody
from the cradle to the grave, and for
good measure levies few new taxes
on the heirs.
Babys first dash of talcum powder
will, under the Q per cent manufac-
turers' tax on cosmetics, help Uncle
Sam carry on the war, and after death
the federal collectors will be on hand
to get the inheritance tax, an ad-
vance on the present rate of from
per cent on $4,000 to 10 per cent
on $1,OOO,OOO. Between birth and
death most of mans activities would
be taxed, voting proxy at a meeting
of a cemetery association being one
Of the few specifically exempted.
War Profits Pay Most.
Those who have profited most by
the war, the recipients of enormous
excess war profits, win pay the most
to help carry 1t on. Almost half the
total amount of the bill, or about ST.
110, 900, 900, is to be collected from
them.
The person who writes a postal
card will be caught, for cards will
sell for 2 cents each by the provisions
Of the bill. Letters will be cents.
One will be taxed when he goes to a
moving picture show, II the admission
is over cents, one-tenth the cost Of
the ticket That rate will affect all
who attend amusements, from the
man in the gallery to the man in the
box. A host of stamp taxes designed
to raise $50, 900, 900 also will get the
man with little money in many ways.
His greatest consolation is that the
consumption taxes, which would have
made him pay on coffee, tea and SUI
gar were stricken from the bill.
All Incomes Affected.
The men of moderate means as well
as the wealthy are affected by the
income tax section. Normal rates
have been doubled and exemptions
lowered to $1,000 for single persons
and $4,000 for married ones. Sur
taxes for incomes above IS, 900 range
from / to so per cent, the maximum
applying to incomes over 81 100000.
This section is expected to raise
5000, 900, 900.
Included in the taxes imposed ON
the manufacturers are levies Of one
quarter of cent a foot on notion
picture films; per cent on the sale
price of chewing gum and per cent
on automobiles, musical instruments
and iewelry.
Even drowning ones trouble In
drink or sending them up in smoke
will cost moro, for the levies on all
kinds of drink and tobacco soar.
The new rate on whiskey is s2.1O per
gallon and beer $3.50 barrel. Wine
taxes will be doubled and even grape
Juice will be taxed a cent a gallon.
A person cannot escape by travel.
Eight per cent is assessed on pas
senger tickets and summer tickets

How to Make a Gallon Of Gasoline G.,
Further Than II Does.

How to Make a Gallon Of Gasoline G.,
Further Than II Does.
In the first place, use care in the Sc
lection Of fuel. Gasoline which does
not vaporize with sufficient readiness
to remain In a gaseous state eventually
condenses in the cylinders and is either
burned or lost without developing its
power. Furthermore. the gasoline must
be pure, with minimum amount of
residue which viii serve to form car
bon.
Secondly, the gasoline must be burn.
ed under the most favorable conditions
conducive to development Of maxi.
mum power following each explosion
Such conditions require tight piston
rings and valves. which prevent the
leakage of compression or the power OF
the explosion: uniform and quickly
attained engine temperature; hot, fat
spark occurring as early as is possible
without producing knock, and a suf.
fciently flexible carburetor which will
give proper mixtures at all engine
speeds. The above mentioned main
tenance of engine temperature is an
important consideration. especially In
cold weather
Thirdly, the carbon should be re-
moved from the engine as soon as an
undue accumulation is indicated, usual.
ly every 500 to 1000 miles. depending
upon the kind Of oil used the condi-
ton Of the rings. the nature of the fuel,
and the like.
In the fourth place. the mixture
should be set to as lean a point as will
run the motor under normal conditions
when the engine is warmed to its av.
erage temperature. Nearly every car
buretor will permit the needle valve
to be screwed down one or more notch.
es. In fact, it is well to set the carbu
rotor to so lean mixture that the en-.
gine will not pull properly before it is
thoroughly heated. The difficulty thus
encountered may be overcome by the
use Of the choke or other adjustments
of the carbure which serve to give a
richer mixture when starting. A lean
mixture may be further assured by the
use of some of the well tried out at
tachments designed to furnish auxili
airy air to the engine under certain con.
ditions.
Fifth. the carburetor should be in
spected by an expert and the strainer
drained frequently to prevent the ac-
cumulation of dirt which may lodge
under the float valve and cause the lat
ter to leak when the engine Is shut
down.
Sixth, the engine should never be left
running while the car is standing idle
II adjustments are properly made
the engine will start easily, and the
current from your starting battery is
cheaper than gasoline. Furthermore
the engine should not be raced at ran
dom for testing purposes unless you
have a definite idea as to just where
the trouble lies.
Seventh, all brakes should be free SO
that they do not drag, bearings should
be well oiled. tires inflated to the pres
sure recommended by the manufactur
er and the whole car so free in its mo-
ton that 1t can be pushed by hand
