WAR TAX TO BE PAID BY PEOPLE

The new war tax was ready for
congress today, proposing probably
the most extensive and greatest line
of taxation ever faced by the Amer
lean people.
Doubling the normal income tax
rates. with reduction of exemptions
and increases of surfaces on great
incomes; absolute elimination of all
articles on the tariff free list with
the imposition of a minimum duty
of ten per cent and a horizontal in
crease of 10 per cent on all now
taxable articles together with in
creases of taxes on internal revenue
and new taxes which reach to the re-
mote departments of business and
Household life are proposed to male
up a yearly income of 1900, 900, 900
Increases on postage rates include
newspapers which it is proposed to
charge on the parcel post zone sys-
TEN. Publishers who are hurrying
to Washington and some of those
who conferred today with ways and
means committee members said that
such line of taxation as is proposed
upon them practically will force
many out of business. Mailing
charges for papers OF average cir
culation it was said, would be in
creased many thousands of dollars
yearly
One draft of the bill proposed to
impose a tax of per cent on receipts
from advertising but as finally pre-
pared for the house this tax was
made not to apply to newspapers and
periodicals.
The new taxes include levies on
life and fire insurance, on household
electric light bills. telephone bills,
railroad tickets. admissions to
amusements. club dues. automobiles.
pleasure boats. jewelry and practi-
cally everything that enters into the
life of family.
In an effort to spread the taxation
over the business life as well as the
social life of the nation, new taxes
are proposed on corporations, on ex-
cess profits and other elements of
commerce.

APPLES AND CHERRIES
WILL BE PLENTIFUL

The true condition of grapes and
other fruits in Audubon county and
surrounding territory is still a mat
ter of conjecture. Judging from ex-
preston of prominent growers in the
vicinity That considerable damage
was done during the winter in the
way of freezing tie roots of trees
and vines. is generally conceded and
the late frosts of several weeks ago
have also had some effect upon the
crops.
In the opinion of Prof. Laurenz
Greene of the agricultural college at
Ames about IS per cent of the apple
crop will be harvested this year. The
trees appear to be in good condition
as a rule and should produce az
large a crop as any of the other
fruits.
Cherries also have a good appear
ance at this time.
The greatest apprehension at this
time apears to be in connection with
the grape crop. 1t takes longer to
get a definite idea of the situation
with grapes than any of the small
fruits and local growers are watch
ing with interest and hoping that
their first estimates may be greatly
improved when the vines get a good
start
Grapes Will BE Short Crop
That the grape crop will suffer
considerable shortage by reason of
the winter freezing is a fact that all
growers around here realize. but the
extent of the damage, they say, can
not be definitely known for at least
another week A good percentage of
the vines will grow, they say. but
just how many of them will bear
is yet matter of conjecture.
1.-The outlook is not very bright.
said one grape grower Monday, "but
we have not lost hope and little
later we may find that we have UNI
derestimated the crop, | hope this
will prove TO be true"
At a melting of the Council BUNS
Grape Growers Association less than
two weeks ago the oDirion was eX-
pressed that only about % or 30 per
cent of a crop might be realized this
year. Partial crops of other small
fruits were expected at that time. the
percentages varying.
