COLLECTOR WARNS AGAINST
PROFITS FROM WAR TAX.

Businesses affected by the new
war tax law will not be permitted to
misrepresent the amount of the tax
to justify higher prices, and get
away with it.
Chief Deputy William Grayot, OF
Collector Haley's office, at Lexing-
ton, said that all such cases coming
to his attention would be reported
to Daniel G. Roper, commissioner in
charge of the internal revenue
bureau.
At the instance of Commissioned
Roper, Mr. Grayot is taking this
method of warning the public to be
on the lookout for such practices
and to report them if discovered.
According to an official statement
issued by the revenue department,
attention was first called to news
paper advertisement of phono-
graph company, which stated the
price and then explained that there
was 5 per cent. added for war tax.
AS a matter Of fact, the war tax on
monographs and other musical in
struments is only per cent.
Many compliments have also been
received where the cos. OF admission
to theatres and other places of
amusement has been increased
largely in excess of the tax imposed
In explaining the increase, the man
ayers said it was made necessary by
the imposition of the war tax. Tax
on theatre admissions is one cent
for each ten cent admission or frac-
ton thereof. Any increase in adj
mission charges beyond this amount
is not necessary in order to absorb
the tax.

WAR WORK AT NAVY YARDS

Nearly. $500 appointments were
made to the forces of mechanics,
helpers and laborers at navy yards
and other naval establishments
during the fiscal year ended Juno
80, 1917, and since that date ap-
pointments have been made in in
creased proportion.
An appropriation of $7,5O0,000 is
now being expended in the enlarge
ment of the great naval gun fac
tory at Washington, which, when
completed, will furnish employment
for 1000 or more skilled mechanics.
in addition to the 5000 already at
work in the plant. lii this man.
moth factory, one of the best equip
ped and most interesting in the
world,-are built the great guns for
our war vessels, which carry to every
country the message of America 5
ability to protect herself and to safe
guard the rights of her citizens
wherever they may be-
The new naval aircraft factory at
Philadelphia, which will be COM
pleted this month, will also employ
about 5000 men.
The workers who man such plants
are of superior class, and they feel
personal pride in turning Out
products that will stand the test of
conflict with the arms Of other ma
tions. A considerable part of the
war vessels is also done in Govern
ment yards.
The United States Civil Service
Commission, which is charged with
the task of recruiting the ranks of
this great civilian army, through its
widespread organization is furnish
ing the men as they are needed In
certain trades, particularly those
connected with shipbuilding, there is
usually a shortage. Sailmakers, cop
persmiths, shipfitters, SngIesmiths,
blacksmiths and mechanics are es-
pecially needed. Women to operate
power sewing machines are also in
great demand. The representatives
of the Civil Service Commission at
the pOstofices in all cities are the
official recruiting agents for this as
we'll as other branches of the Civil
Service. The commission urges CON-
petent mechanics to offer their SER
vices to the Government at this time
of great need.

As To Exemptions.

The enormous number of claims
for exemption from army service
constitute a shame to American
manhood and disgrace to our coun
try. 1t is proof positive as holy
writ of one of two propositions:
Either our young men are entirely
lacking in patriotism or they are pit
iful towards.
We refer with contempt to the
Stacker who eluded the registration.
But what of the infinitely more con-
temptible Stacker who, while seem
ingly acquiescing on the draft, put
up pitiful plea for exemption
plea that shows false and hypocrit-
ical on its face?
All honor to that numerous con-
tingent who, when was was assured,
promptly rendered their services.
All honor to another group who,
while not so quick to volunteer, yet
when the call came, stepped forward
like men and took their medicine
with smiling faces. Such g they
both nave made this the proud
country it is to-day
of course there are some perfect
ly legitimate claims for exemption.
These will and should be granted.
But the exemption" slacker-ugh,
Words are powerless to describe him.

GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP OF

subject of the future OF the rail
roads, which appears in Hearst's

searching analysis of the whole

United States since the beginning of
