ORDER
 RE-AFF|RMED BY
 STATE $ BOARD

Pullman service between Phoenix and Douglas will be effective May 15, as per original order handed down by members of the corporation commis- sion some time ago. The commission yesterday denied the application for re-hearing in the case, filed by the Arizona Eastern, Southern Pacific and Fl Paso x Southwestern.
 The denial was written by Commis- sioner A. A. Betts, who also wrote the original order. In this connection, MT Betts stated that the only reason set forth in the application for a re-hear- ing was that the commission was act ing without jurisdiction and that the service required is unnecessary and non compensatory "These points were fully covered at the time of the orig inal hearing and further consideration at this time does not appear necessary" said the denial
 Another reason set forth by the rail- roads for a re-hearing was that the various companies were completing plans for transporting large govern ment forces and that all equipment possible would be necessary for this work.

 NJ. Viviani responded with the long est speech he has made since his arrival in America.
 America, said NJ. Niviani, waited a long time before deciding to enter the world war, because she wants to be certain to enter on the right side. France fought for liberty, consentins to pour forth her blood and to make the terrible sacrifice to win liberty for tle world he explained, and that was why America finally stepped in. France was glad, he said, to have her moral and material support, although she had ne~ar doubted it would come.
 The greatest lesson of the war, M. Niviani declared, was conscription, be- cause as long as there was a warlike Germany, democracy would be in dan ger. with their duty being to remain armed.
 MT. Niviani characterized the French army as the French nation in arms democracy in arms for it's honor and independence"

BOARD PURCHASES SEVEN
 AUSTRIAN BOATS
TRepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1


 WASHINGTON May 9.-The fed eral shipping board tonight announced that it had purchased seven Austrian merchantmen held in American ports. totalling 52,651 tons, for $6,77S.006. The price is about half the prevailing price for ships. The vessels will be repaired within a few months and placed in the war emergency trade by the board.
 The ships are Dora, 7.Ua n0d Ida, 4,730 tons, both at New York; Erny. 6.515 tons, at Boston; Anna, 1,575 tons; Clara, 3,932 tons; Teresa, 3,769 tons, at New Orleans, and the Lucia, 6,744 tons, at Pensacola. They were bought from A T. Herd and owners, who agreed to sacrifice their pl ofits and sell at virtually the same price they gave for, the vessels.
 This economic spirit is in special contrast to the experience set by the government in ship purcahsing at the outbreak of the Spanish American war; said Chairman Denman of the board, explaining that an American corporation to whom the owners were under contract to sell also had agreed to waive it's interest. The vessels could not have been operated by the private American owners until after the war without becoming liable for seizure by allied warships. The low price paid by the government was sI0L000 more than was paid originally to the Austrian owners, the Austro American Steamship line This sum represented financing costs and attor neYs' fees incident to the purchase.
 The ships were bought at President Wilson's direction and payment will be from the $1OO,OOO,OOO war emergen- cy fund at the presidents disposal.
 Other similar purchases are con tempalted by the shipping board and it is said some of the seven other Aus trian ships now in American ports may be acquired.

 WASHINGTON, May 9.-One of the hardest fights on the bill, it is predict ed will center about the increases in the excess profits tax. New income tax Schedules also may meet stubborn op- position. Committee explanations of the involved language of the income tax section show that it's practical operation would be as follows
 It proposes a normal tax of two per cent on individuals having incomes be- tween S1,0O0 and $3,00O, if single. and SZ,OOO and S4O00 if married or the head of family. An additional -,o~-r7ol ~ or two per cent would be added in the case Of larger incomes. At s3.Jou .,, additional surtaX, graduated until at Sooo,OoQ and over it reaches 33 per cent would be imposed.
 A married man with S7.50O income TOT example, would pay a tax of S2O5. IL would be assessed in this manner. an exemption of $2.0OO: a tax of two per cent or $40, on the next g. OOO mn to S4,OO0; a tax of four per cent on the difference between s4,OOO and s7,5O0. or $14O; a surtaX of one per cent on all over 5000, or $25. A single person with a $500 income would pay s245. He would pay $40 at two per cent on income between S1,0OO and $3,0OO; s1SO at four per cent between s3,OOO and S"5OO, and a surtax of $25 at one per cent on the $2,500 above $5,00O.
 SurtaXes under the present law do not begin until $20,00O is reached. and exemptions begin at $3,00O and S4.OOO Tor single and married persons respect lively.

The proper combina- ton is Shredded Wheat Biscuit with milk-the greatest amount of protein (the element that builds muscular tissue) for the least money. Two or three of these Biscuits with milk make a nourishing breakfast on which to start the days work and they cost only a few cents.
