RAILWAYS BEN G TAXED TO KEEP
 CARS MOVING
(By Associated Press)

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct 16. - The railroads war board, which has been making hereulean efforts to keep the cars moving in all parts of the coun- try, despite the extraordinary demand, today is facing new problem.
 All the necessities of life must be supplied to sixteen non-productive cit ies of popuistion of 46,000 each, and to fifty-six smaller cities of a popula- tion from 300 to 5000. These cities represent the new national army and national guard cantonments and en- campments, most of which are located where no railroad facilities existed be- fore.
 Figures just compiled show that g. 500 carloads a day of feed and other necessities are. being delivered daily by the railroads. AS it takes at least five pounds of food a day for each sol dier in addition to clothing, fuel and other supplies that are constantly needed, the problem is decidedly diff ficult, but the carriers are expected to prove equal to the task.

DEALE RS MUST PAY b|G
 WAR TAX

The new war revenue act passed by congress October 3, imposes a tax of $2,10 per proof gallon on all distilled spirits, graded tax upon champagne and other liquors and cordials and a special tax upon dealers in cigars and tobacco.
 The liquor dealers have taken in- ventories, prepared returns and are forwarding the amounts due. Failure to do so incurs heavy penalties.
 Proof spirit is defined by statute to be that alcoholic liquor which con tains half it's volume of alcohol of a specific gravity of seven thousand nine hundred and thirty-nine ten-thou- sandths at 60 degrees Fahrenheit. To find the proof gallons, multiply the true wine gallons of the contents, as cut upon the cask, by the percentum of proof, and the product will be the number of proof gallons.
 Every liquor dealer in the city re- ceived notice from Internal Revenue Collector David Williams, of Tacoma, that inventories must be taken at once and the amount of taxes due remitted forthwith. Blank forms and letter of instructions came in the same mail.
