WAR TAX BILL
TO HANG FIRE
ANOTHER MONTH
Senate to Rewrite Revenue
Measure Carrying 81, $780,
100000

Washington, May "a. e. Another
month probably will be required for
Congress to compete the war tax bill,
although the House passed it last
night. 1t was indicated to-day that
the Snate will make so many
changes in the measure as to result
almost in redrafting, particularly OF
sections relating to taxes on excess
profits, incomes and manufactures
and the increased second-class postal
rates.
As passed by the House, 329 to 76
after two weeks debate. the bill as
originally drawn to raise 81, 800, ,000,-
600 was changed essentially only in
these four ways: SurtaXes on in
comes above $4,000 were raised
about 25 per cent; slight reductions
were made in the proposed second
class mail rates; provision for a
per cent. tax on all advertising, eX-
cept newspaper and periodical, was
eliminated; and print paper and
pulp, gold silver and a few other ar
ticles were exempted from the pro.
posed tariff of 10 per cent. on goods
now admitted free.

ISSUES TWO MORE
PROCLAMATIONS
Governor Addresses Registra-
ton Boards and Tells People
of Conscription

Governor Brumbaugh last evening
issued two more proclamations deal
iEg with the registration under the
selective draft. One was addressed
to the registration boards and regis
trars and called upon them to do
their duty, while the other was a
notice to the people that everyone
with the conscription ages must reg
lister and that the national govern
ment will handle the exemptions.
The latter proclamation was as
follows:
81 have been asked by many peo-
pie what exemptions are to he made
by the national government in the
matter of the act of Congress OF
May is, 1917. Registration has been
confused with conscription and that
the minds of all may be informed
hereby state:
81. All male citizens between the
ages of twenty-one and thirty, both
years inclusive, must register on
June fifth next. There are no eX-
ceptions to this whatever. All races
all creeds and conditions must alike
conform to this act of Congress and
at their several voting precincts on
the day named above.
II. Following this registration
the President will take such steps
as he may deem wise to enroll in
the army and navy such registered
persons as he may deem necessary,
The act of Congress, however,
exempt from military service under
this law such registered persons as
are: G) officials of the legislative
executive and judicial departments
of the United States government, the
state government, the territorial gov
ernment and the District of Colum-
bia.
"(2) Regularly or duly ordained
ministers of religion, students who
are at this time preparing for the
ministry in recognized theological or
divinity schools;
"(3) All persons now in the mill
tary and naval service of the United
States.
20 Members of any well-recog-
nized religious sect or organization
at present organized and existing
and whose existing creed or princi-
pies forbid its members to partici-
pate in war in any form and whose
religious convictions are against wal
or participation therein IN accord
ance with the creed or principles OF
said religious organizations; but no
person SO exempted shall be exempt
ed from service in any capacity that
the President shall declare to be
noncombatant.
1T is important that all citizens
and all registrars shall keep these
facts in mind and, while all shall
register on June 3, 1917, the four
groups above indicated are exclud-
ed from those from whom member
ship in the army and navy shall be

Everybody So Busy
Gardening; ; Little Change
Seen on Farm--Garden Day

Because of the great number of
people already engaged in plot gar
dening and in tilling every inch of
available space little observance was
made of what had been designated
in an official proclamation as Farm
and Garden Day" The Governor in
tended to work late this afternoon.
1t was intended this should sup
plant the Good Roads Day." but
the people of the State have become
so interested in farming that little
change was noticed, according to a
statement made by II. G. Nissley,
farm agent for 'Dauphin county.
Mr.. Nissley states the dairy situ-
alton is fast becoming acute in this
vicinity. Farmers are everywhere
selling the cows for beef because it
pays better than to produce milk and
butter. 1t is hoped the coming of
pasturage will temporarily relieve
the situation but unless some substi-
tute is found for the pesent high
priced feed. used to produce milk,
another raise is inevitable, he saws.
