Washington, Sept. 22.---confcrees on
the war tax bill today agreed on one
of their chief points of dispute in con-
sidering war excess profits taxation

was believed a partial report would be
made Tuesday to both houses.
A compromise definition of invested
capital, said to provide a system OF
allowance for borrowed funds and also
intangible assets. including good will

similar inchoate property, was APP

to have expressed the fear that a high

Another factor in the new deadlock
was refusal of the senate to accept
the exemption basis of 5 per cent pro-
posed by the house.
The senate is said to insist upon a
maximum exemption Of 10 per cent
with per cent minimum as pro-
vided in the bill.

A WISE DECISION.

In spite of the vast sums of money spent
by certain interests in an endeavor to
wholly discredit wooden ships the ship
ping board has announced its intention of
placing orders for one hundred more such
vessels at once, calling upon mills of the
South to supply half billion feet of timber
Tor their construction.
No avenue has been neglected in the at
tack upon wooden ships. Motion pictures
have been rendered to almost every exhibi-
tor in the country, lengthy articles have ap-
peared in subsidized publications News
paper offices have been flooded whit stats
tics tending to show that every wooden
ship constructed represented a wanton
waste of money. An extensive and costly
lobby has been maintained at the national
capital.
The campaign has been conducted and
financed by interests identified with the
building of steel ships, who, no doubt. can
justify their activities as legitimate bust
ness promotion. The unfairness of the
propaganda and the bitterness with which
it has been presented must, however, be
most gratifying to the enemies of America
who are striving to hinder the government
in its promotion of war measures
The most ardent advocates of wooden
ships have not claimed them equal to ships
of steel, but they do maintain that as it is
impossible to turn out steel ships fast
enough to supply the demand for bottoms,
q1ickly-constructed wooden ships have an
important part in supplying the needs of
the nation.
In authorizing a hundred more Of the
wooden boats. the shipping board has
shown that it is alive to the situation.

THE MOLINO FAIR.

Molino is to be congratulated upon its
determination to hold an agricultural fair
this year
An exhibit of the farm products of this

The plans, as outlined are sound and
logical. 1t will be essentially an aericul-
trral fair and farmers institute. for inspec-
ton of products and exchange of views and
experiences.
There will be no midway" or cheap at
fractions to divert attention from the ex-
h1blts, no games of chance to tempt the un-
wary, and in that lies the assurance of sue

1t is to be a fair to show what Escambia
and her neighboring counties can produce
"a serious business undertaking, which

Pensacola will gladly cooperate with

ONE LANGUAGE ENOUGH

Theodore Roosevelt made wise supoes-

pers printed in the language of nations at

papers were asked to declare their attitude

HELP THE NEEDY BOYS
AND GIRLS.

The school book fund for this year will
open tomorrow
The response is certain to be prompt and
liberal, because this is one of Pensacola
favorite benevolences, and because this
year the appeal is more urgent than ever
before
President Wilson has called attention
to the necessity of every boy and girl at
tending school now, SO that education may
be advanced to the utmost while the war is
in progress.
The temptation to drop school will be
great this year and many children from
homes of slender means will stop if called
upon to invest part of their summer earn
ings in books, and it is to prevent this that
contributions are solicited.
Pensacola is ever willing to help its
needy youths, realizing that helping them
is in reality a most profitable civic invest

INSIDIOUS PROPAGANDA

Anonymous letters are,the latest weapon
in the insidious propaganda against the
war. The family OF a Mississippi soldier
received such letter stating that he had
attempted suicide, harrasSed and driven in

Similar reports are coming from all
sections of the country. Wholly untrue,
tie purpose of the letters is to attempt to
break the spirit of the American people.
Women are almost invariably selected as
targets for the letters, which have caused
great mental anguish until officially dis
