S. P. Tells Of Tax
On Railroad Tickets

The first information as to the
method of applying the new war tay
TO the sale of passenger and freight
transportation was supplied yester-
day at the Offices of the Southern
Pacific.
The new law becomes effective
November l and imposes a war tax of
eight per cent on passenger fares
except as noted and three percent on
all freight shipments.
The Southern Pacific, on its Pacific
system, carries about four million
passengers per month. Auditor T. o.
Edwards of the company estimates
That of this number the amount ex-
empted because of commuter or low
rate classification, will be three mil.
uon. This leaves a million a month,
or twelve million passengers annually
subject to taxation on the Southern
Pacific system alone. Baggage
charges are not taxable.
The application of the tax to mile
age or scrip sales is awaiting further
cials.
Ticket agents will collect the war
tax at the time of the sales of trans
oOrtation. The tax on cash fares will
be collected by conductors, who will
also be responsible for collecting the
tax on tickets sold prior to November
l and not used until that day or later,
provided agents have not already col
lected the tax and made a notation TO
that effect on the ticket
The rate Of ten percent will applv
On the purchase of seats in observa-
lion cars, berths or staterooms on its
river steamers, says the Southern
Pacific. Sleeping car tickets also
come in for ten per cent, the method
OF collection to be announced by the
Pullman company.
The three percent tax on freight
charges offers no exemption either as
to amount or distance, except on ship
ments for the U. S. government, or
the states, and on export and import
business and strictly comDanv bust
ness, such as the transport of mater
'als for the use of the carrier itself
2r its subsidiaries, over its own lines
a special clause excluded also amuse-
ment business, such as theatrical and
circus trains, which come under diff
terent provisions of the bill.

Trial For Booze Sellers

Wednesday morning Martin NJ.
Smart of Los Angeles, California
and Tim Casey of Deming, NM.
were given a preliminary hearing
before the local United States
Commissioner on a charge of
selling Intoxicating liquor to SOL
diers. The prosecutor in the
case was Lieut.. Jesse G.. Beard of
Camp Cody, N. M. to whom
Smart is alleged to have sold
whiskey in Deming on September
9th and was apprehended here
Saturday night in the act of Civ
ing beer to soldiers in a local
restaurant by Deputy E.W. Webb
Lieut.. Beard is on special duty
as an apprehender of of those
committing offenses at Camp
Cody and at other places and the
act of Mr.. Smart in selling him
liquor was very convincing in
the case.
Tim Casey entered a plea of
guilty to having sold liquor to
soldiers in Lorbsburg on Satur-
day evening. Both men were
taken to the Luna county Jail by
Lieut., Beard to await the action
of the Federal authorities.
Several soldiers who were ar
rested here by local peace officers
for attempting to purchase liquor
after dressing up in civilian
clothes, were taken back te Camp
Cody by Lieut.. Beard. The local
officers are rigidly enforcing the
laws here relative to soldiers OBJ
tanning any intoxicants and upon
order of the Justice of the Peace
the segregated district has been
closed to all soldiers.

Rights OfSOIdiers In
Homestead Entries

The general land office at Washing
ton, ID. c., by Clay Tallman, commits
sioner has issued a special circular
relative to military service by home
steaders during the war. Those who
benefit by the act must have made
their entries prior to going into service
or settling upon unsurveyed lands
and no credit is given where claim is
initiated after entering service.
A soldier is entitled to credit on the
residence and cultivation prescribed
by the homestead law for the time of
his service during the war; but one
who is discharged on account of
wounds received or disability incurred
during duty is entitled to credit for
the entire term Of his enlistment
However, the homes teader will be re-
quired to show at least one years
residence and cultivation regardless
OF his length of service. He is en-
titled to the five months absence priv
ilege like other homesteaders during
the years residence provided gouu
reason is shown.
If soldier dies while in actual
service his widow, heirs or children
may submit final proof.
No contest on the grounds of aban
dOnment will be allowed where the en-
tryman is actually engaged in mill
tary service of the United States.
While it is not positively necessary
it is suggested by the commissioner
that soldiers or sailors holding claims
advise the local United States Land
Office of their absence during mill
tary service so that it may be entered
upon the records.
An entryman in military service
may submit final proof upon his
homestead before an officer having
an official seal wherever he may be
stationed
Entrymen on unsurveyed lands who
have actually made settlement and
improved their tracts are granted the
same protection as the entryman or
surveyed lands providing he has
complied with the laws and has mark
ed the boundaries of his claim. Such
homesteaders may file notice of their
enlistment with the district land Of
fee which will be noted on the tract
books and given a serial number.
