CLOVER SEED rs
MONEY MAKER FOR
CAREFUL FARMER

The profit made in growing red
clover seed by some of our farmers
this season will likely induce the
planting of large acreage of this
legume in this vicinity next year
The most notable success in growing
clover seed Is that of w. j Love. who
threshed 76 bushels from q field of
II acres, and seed buyers are Offering
him S12 per bushel The clover was
sown last year with grain which was
cut early and a crop of clover seed
grown in the fall which threshed
out a bushel to the acre This sea-
son the clover yielded two tons of
hay at the first cutting, and ton
and half of straw from the threshed
seed crop making a total gross re-
turn at present prices OF $114 an
acre, This showing is better than
the alfalfa crop, many fields Of which
brought returns OF So TO 500 an

MOVIES ARE HARD
HIT BY WAR TAX
Must Pass it Along to Pa
irons of the Show to Save
Themselves from Going
Broke.

Commencing November |, every
theatre goer over the country will
feel the effect of the recent war-taxs
placed on that business In addition
to the theatre tax based on seating
capacity the last session of Congress
levied a tax of ten per cent on the
gross receipts of all theatres and an
additional tax Of thfee-quarters
cents per foot on all moving picture
film. Thus the motion pictures
enjoy (?) the distinction of being
the only triple taxed industry In the
United States II is estimated
that this tax alone will raise be-
tween $250,000 and 100000 per
day for the federal government
This is not the only tax with which
the theatres are burdened either for
in a great number of towns of which
Nampa is one, they are required to
pay a heavy license or occupation
tax
1t was at first thought that all of
these excessive taxes would put most
of the smaller theatres of the country
out of business but a conference be-
tween the officers of the Exhibitors
League Of America and the Treasury
Department officials revealed the
fact that II was the intention of the
lawmakers that patrons of the
theatres should in all cases pay the
tax, the exact wording of the law
being: 'The tax is to be paid by the
person paying for such admission.
The law also goes on to say that all
persons except employees entering
the theatre must pay the tax, that
is holders Of passes or complimentary
tickets Of all descriptions are re-
quired to pay the tax the same as
regular paying patrons
The admission scale to be adopted
by the Weaver theatre will have as
its minimum 25 cents for adults and
Is cents for children, OF the 25
aent adult admission it is estimated
that it will take between four and
five cents to pay the various taxes,
md nearly as much on the chiIdrens'
admission.

WHY THE LIBERTY LOAN
INTEREST RATE WAS CHANGED

The first issue of Liberty Loan
bonds bearing 81 per cent interest
md are exempt from all taxes of
every kind except estate and inherit
lnce taxes. Liberty Loan Bonds OF
the second issue bear per cent inter
est and have the same tax exemptions
IS the first except that they are liza
bic to superincome taxes and excess
profits taxes, as well as estate and
inheritance taxes They are not sub
iect to the normal income tax The
reasons for the change of interest
md taxability are stated by Secre-
tary McAdoo in his speech before the
American Bankers Association as
follows
I'VE can not sell bonds in billions
on the basis of what they may be
worth to the very rick. They must
be offered to all the people alike at
one price and should appeal to all
alike and upon equal terms The
result of selling a bond which bears
1 low rate Of interest and carries ex-
}mption from graduated and super
income taxes will be this: The poor
md the people of modest means will
buy them for patriotic reasons but
will be unable to hold them because
the return is too small The tend
oncy will be all the time for these
bonds to be purchased from them
md accumulated by the very rich
without any adequate consideration
United States or to the original sub
3criber. In these circumstances the
value OF the tax exemption depends
not upon the bonds themselves but
upon a wholly extraneous fact--the
extent of the wealth of the holder.
The principle is now firmly
grounded In our national policy that
graduated taxes shall be laid upon
wealth in order that the burden of
taxation may be equally distributed
md made to bear more heavily upon
the rich than the poor Government
bonds, therefore, should be issued
upon basis which will be sequally
lust to the poor man and the rich
man, SO that each may purchase these
bonds upon practically the same in
lerest basis after allowing for the
lifierent scales of taxation
The second issue of Liberty Loan
Bonds are offered upon terms fair and
equitable to all alike and will make
he widest possible appeal to all the
people without regard to the extra
1eous fact that the purchaser be poor
~ rich The Government can not
nance this war by making an appeal
% the rich alone, nor to the man of
moderate means, nor to the poor Its
appeal must be to all the people, and
III OF the people must respond and
)y united efforts sustain the Govern
nent in its great credit operations.
