tOXiCantS and In
comes.

WASH N(TTON. Aug. /. - ReNlS-
ion Of the war tax bill SO as TO in
crease its total from S1.67O,OOO, 00O
10 about 2,OOO,OOO,OOO. mainly by
additional levies on intoXicants and
on personal and corporate incomes,
was definitely decided on Tuesday by
the senate finance committee.
The detailed schedules and the ex-
act total remain 10 be determined.
but committee members said Tues
day night they expected the bill to
aggregate at least S1.99S, 100000 and
not more than S2,OOS.OOO.OOO. They
plan TO have the measure ready TO
report by the end of the week.
The following levies were definite
~ decided upon Tuesday: on cor
poration incomes 162.O0O,O0O. In
comes Of individuals of $4,000 and
more. $27,6OO.O0O.
Distilled spirits 100000. 900. Malt
and fermented liquors (beer), $25,-
100000
New Taxes Yield S3O1 100000.
These new taxes total 1904.
600 The committee considered the
following further revisions i'm pro-
viding for the remaining $23,400.0 900
necessary to attain the minimum Of
S199s.OOO,OOO:
Increase of taxes on brandy for
terrifying wines to yield about S10,-
100000.
Increase Of rates on wines, TO
yield about 100000. Increase of
consumption. or excise taxes on
sugar. coffee and possibly tea. to-
gether with few new taxes. pos
sibly TO include gasoline and fire
arms. Reduction OF the 10 percent
tax I'm the so-called Jones amend
ment on corporate undivided surplus
10 ten or five percent.
Although the committee had orig
inally planned 10 secure much Of the
additional revenue from war excess
profits taxes. committee sentiment
today was said to he strongly against
increasing the pending schedules,
estimated 10 raise 1923. 100000 more
than under the present law, or a
total of S74S.OOO,O0O.
Corporate Incomes Tax Big.
To secure S162. 100000 more from

companies and associations, includ-
ing life insurance companies, the
committee decided 10 increase the
normal rate on such incomes by two
percent. trehling their present rate
and doubling the rate provided in
the bill. Modification of the Jones
amendment as virtually agreed 10,
with the exact change TO be decided
late. because Of the income increases
ordered
The new surtax rates on individ-
ual incomes of $4,000 and above
remain 70 be definitely fixed.
The graduated surfaces in the
pending bill run from five percent
on $4,000 incomes up TO 80 percent.
The new rates probably will gradu-
ate from six 10 IS percent With
the increases the total income tax
returns TO the government would be
S1.O52. 100000. Of which S719.7OO.-
600 would be the war levy, against
S532.70O,0O0 proposed in the house
bill
The committee decided 70 add a
tax of 81 per gallon more on distill-
ed spirits and so cents more per
barrel on malt and fermented
liquors. These taxes would provide
a total increase of $2.10 per gallon
on distilled spirits. which now pays
S11O. and of SIS per barrel on
beer. now paying $50.

Can't our scientists find some substitute for an appetite?

The solons at Washington can not dodge the issue of regulating food prices. They might just as we'll look the issue squarely in the face as men honestly inter ested in the welfare of their country, and put stop to food gambling once for all Before the declaration of war the in- creased cost of living forced to unnatural levels by gamblers and trusts brought on many labor troubles to get wages adjusted to an equitable ratio. and if the cost of living continues to soar further labor troubles can be eX- pected, and are sure to come. It has been the proud boast that the families of the laboring men of America are the best fed and best clothed of any nation in the world, but if something is not done at once to change existing condition the American laborer will be forced into the same con- dition of the peasant and peon of other countries. The American laborer will never peacefully sub init to such condition for his family, and either the price of living must be reduced, or his wages must be increased com mensurate with the cost of liv- ing. Legalized robbery has fin ally reached oppression, and the government must act promptly and decisively to ward off the dark days that are sure to come if the strangling grip of the trusts and food gamblers is not released from the throats of the people. .-Ex.

gence should they prey on the necessities of the people, which accounts for the prevailing low prices of food stuffs in European countries. But in this country where the people rule through trust-ridden representatives the war is made the basis to exploit the last dollar from the pockets of the laboring class, while the youth and strength of the coun- ty are fighting for it's very exis- tence. When peace comes again and our country is saved, the soldier boys will have to start life anew with nothing but brave hearts and ambitious spirits to capitalize their efforts, while the trust magnates with their million wrung from the the toiling masses, invested in war bonds to escape taxes, will be clipping coupons and looking about for further opportunities to increase their wealth at the expense of the sweat and blood of the labor ing men.

A Phoenix paper says there has been twelve more murdered com mitted in Maricopa county since Campbell has been governor than were committed during the five years of Hunt administration. This is largely chargable to the persistent fight MT. Hunt made to abolish capital punishment. which law went into effect at the time Gov. Campbell went into of flee. MT. Hunt had a theory that if capital punishment was abol- ished there would be no murders committed, but it has simply em- boldened thuds and gun men into activity Williams Times.

Can Surplus Fruit, But Use Cans
 and Jars Wisely.

Don't have an empty preserving jar in your home next fall.
 Reserve regular tight-sealing containers for canning foods.
 Concentrate products so that each jar or can will hold as much food and aslittle water as possible.
 Put up jams, jellies and pre- serves in wide-necked glasses sealed with cork or paper and parafn. Pack fruit juices in or dinary bottles.
 Don't can anything that can be kept just as we'll dried or in other forms. Dry navy and mature Lima beans for winter use.
 Produce in your garden lots of cabbage, potatoes and root crops that can be kept for winter with out canning. .-U. s. Department of Agriculture.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF APACHE COUNTY
JULY 12, 1917.
FOOD SPECULATION.
(Winslow Mail)

With the war now two years old in Europe, and all the coun- tries on the shortest possible dai- ly ration, the prices of all kinds of food stuffs in those countries are materially lower than in the United States where there is plenty. What is the reason? It is because in those monarchies a food gambler would be found guilty of treason to the crown In this country the food gamblers and trusts are taking advantage of the people by using the war as lever to rob them. To per init food gambling and combina- tiOns in times of peace is a crime but in times of war 1t is rank treason. Our boasted liberty has made the organization of trusts and price fixing combina- tions legalized banditry, and the antitrust laws of Congress are ineffective, or the Department of Justice is inefficient in their en- forcement. We have the steel, coal and oil trusts, clothing and shoe trusts, meat, grain and flour trusts, butter and egg trusts, vegetable and food trusts, in fact a trust in every commodity of necessity manufactured or pro- duced that can be corralled by holding companies or combina- tions of capital. Congress is at tempting to pass a food control bill as temporary war measure, but its effect will probably re- strict the amount of food a fam fly can use, but will not relieve the high prices that are being forced on the laboring people ot the country.
 Congress can pass drastic leg islation suppressing these rob- bers, but nothing of that kind will be done. It is these trusts and illegal combinations that fur nish the money in the campaigns when our senators and congress- man are candidates before the people, and they own the sena- tors and congressman just as eff fectively as if they had bought and paid for them at so much . head. For home consumption the senators and congressmer whoop'er up for federal appro priations for their states, appoint political henchmen to office whose principal duties arc to go about trumpeting the praises of theil makers, introduce a few bills o1 minor importance, and make { few speeches ringing with pride in their grand old state and love for their constituents which art franked out as a campaign docu ments; but when some real gooC can be done by putting a crimI in the food gamblers and unholy trusts the crack of the trust driv CTS whip gets them in line, thC people be damned.
 Perhaps our republican form o. government is a failure. and wt had better return to a monarchy In monarchy when the safety of the throne is at stake the ab solutism of the ruler makes al his subjects fearful of his ven
