NEW TAX RULING
IS RECEIVED HERE
TIME LIMIT is HxED ON ALL
CORPORATION INCOMES AND
EXCESS PROFITS.

A new ruling by the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue reached Bruins
WICK yesterday. Ii fixes the time
limit for income tax reports and is of
general interest
r. The text of the ruling is as follows
The act-of October 3, 1917. imposes
upon the net income of every corpora
ton, joint stock company or associa-
ton, and every insurance company a
war income tax of per cent and a
war excess profits tax at certain
graduated rates. which taxes are in
addition to the tax imposed by Title
|, of the act of September s, 1916, as
amended
THE first named act is effective as
of January l, 1917, and applies to all
corporations making returns on the
basis of a fiscal year ending during
the calendar year, 1917, as well as to
corporations making returns on the
basis of calendar year. 1t will be
necessary for all corporations liable
to these additional taxes and which
make returns for the fiscal year ending
in 1917 to maize supplemental returns
for the purpose of the excess profits
tax. This requirement will apply to
all corporations which may have here
tofore made excess profits tax returns
for the 1917 fiscal year PURSUANT to the
requirements of Title II. of the act of
March 8, 1917.
Because of the desirability to have
all returns made upon prescribed
form and in accordance with approval
regulations, and because of the fact
that it will be impossible for severa
weeks to pu. into the hands of sue
corporations the blank forms and in
structiOns prescribed by this depart
ment for the use of such corporations
in making excess profits tax returns
the time within which such returns
may be filed in the case of those cor
porations whose returns are due to be
field on or before Jan. 1, 1918, is here
by extended to that date. This ex
tension is made pursuant to the pro
viso in Sub-paragrph s(c) of Section
IA of Title |, of the act of Sept. s
1916, and applies also to those cor
poration incomes tax returns due to
be filed on or before Jan. l 1918, the
correct preparation of which depends
upon the excess profits. tax returns"

VOLUNTEER FOR GOOD ROADS
We Can Have Anything Good If We
Will Get Together and Work
Hard for Desired End.

Why, bad roads, even, is a moral
question. Why should men wade in
mud and punish their beasts when
they have the power to prevent It'll
1t is moral in that we fail to use to
advantage the powers and possibili-
ties that God has given US, writes r.
F. Beasley in Progressive Farmer.
We can have good roads if we will
We can have any good thing if we
will-communities acting together.
Half a dozen men could volunteer to
delegate themselves as leaders in q
good roads movement and the people
soon would folloT them.
A million volunteers will rush to
arms to shoot down a million others
who have done them no harm; why
should not some volunteer to be lead
ers in the romances Of peace and
progress?

BROUGHT BACK FROM DEATH
Linenan Resuscitated After He Appar-
emily Had Been Killed by Touch
ing Heavily Charged Wire.

A remarkable case of resuscitation
after electric shock is narrated in a
recent report of an inspector of a
New York power company, which
gives particulars of the recovery of
;one of his men from the effects of an
electric shock.
The man, when about to erect pri-
mary wires, was apparently killed by
accidentally touching a wire carry
ing current at $500 volts. A line
man Immediately took hold of the
ankles of the limp body, lifting it
until the whole weight rested on the
neck, and letting it fall. He then
took a pair of ccnnectors and ham
'mered the soles of the injured mans
feet without removing his shoes. An
other lineman opened the mans
mouth, pulled forward the swallowed
tongue (Which occurs in electric
;shock), and was about to begin the
Schaefer prone method of resuscita-
tion, while the man returned to life.
He was removed to the hospital, and
is now well, though suffering severe
ly from his burns.
Similar cases Of recovery are men
toned in connection with the plan
of striking the feet without removing
the boots or shoes in case of electric
shock.-Scientifc American.

WAR NOT GREATLY CHANGED
,MarveIs of Twenty Centuries Ago
Have Strange Similarity to Those
of Modern Battlefields.

It is said that there have been
more changes in the art OF war dur
ing the past ten years-since the
:Russo-Japanese confict-than in the
previous so years; and more impor-
tant changes in those 50 years than
in the previous five centuries-since
the use of gunpowder. Yet if the
survivor of Antietam CT Gettysburg
were to accompany his grandson to
the country's newest battle front,
what would he find that is essentially
new? asks writer in Everybody.
From these same battlefelds of
France, 20 centuries ago, war cor
respondent sent home to Rome ac-
counts of certain armored engines of
war which were battering the fortif-
cations of Germanic towns into the
dust over which now creep the
"tanks" of today. Indeed some of
.Alezander's special dispatches, read
by the loiterers in the Herald
Square of Athens 1900 years ago,
told how Persian inventor had
fixed to the wheels of his chariots a
scythe arrangement like that on the
front Of the tank-to cut through
"barbed wire'' entanglements of the
Greeks. This Oldest war correspond
ent-as every schoolboy reader Of
Caesar knows-spares no details of
the war marvels of the day.
Likewise the correspondents who
told how Colonel Jones of the Mas
sachusetts volunteers captured the
Winan's steam gun. "It is ball proof,
can discharge from 100 to 500 balls
per minute, and is destined to inau-
,gurate a new era in the science OF
war" After all, the real novelty of
modern warfare is the censor's blue
pencil.

COKE AS AUTO FUEL.

A new English steam wagon, fired
automatically with coke, has been
under test in omnibus service for a
year. From a Royal Automobile
club report, it appears that on a
run of 219 miles with a load of S34
tons the coke consumption was about
-four pounds per mile; and it is sug-
gested that omnibuses already in use
be adapted for coke fuel, and more
economical than imported oil or
gasoline.

The first real grassers of the sea-
son were marketed ut North Portland
during the week, although some stock
that had been fed on grass for awhile
had been previously marketed here.
In general the market for cattle
was firmer and higher at the start OF
the week. with the closing of the trade
steady. The only disturbing feature
noted was the lack, of appreciation
among killers for dairy stuff This
was due to the fact that the grass
stock from the south was taking its
place. and heretofore dairy stuff had
been selling higher in proportion 70
