Bookkeeping and Taxation.

The commissioner olinternal revenue
suspects that many munition makers
are seeking 10 evade the extraordinary
tax on profits by bookkeeping devices.
l; is probable that the same complaint
will de found with the returns on the
excess profits tax. There are difficult
ties tha, inhere in both cases. II ex'
cess of receipts over disbu-sem nts for
a year were considered earnings, it
would be easy to reckon the muDition
tax Of u IL per cent. There would
be no question Of actual capital and
surplus to wrestle with as in the excess
profits case. But some Of the munition
makers have made a suptisinglg large
depreciation charge. They are trying
TO take the cost Of their plant out Of
current earnings. 1t is not known just
when they began this kind Of bookkeep
ing or the annual depreciation they
have fixed. There can be no exact
rate, for nobody knows how long the
war will last and it is difficult TO tell
what the plants will be worth for other
purposes when peace comes. At best
this can be merely Appropriated and
the government will surely take hand
in making the estimates. The meas
ure vas framed equitably, taking care
OF contracts made prior to the imposit
ion tax. 1t would not be equitable to
permit the various munition makers to
make arbitrary deductions.
A kindred difficulty will attend the
attempt Ct the government TO determ
inc reasonable prices" for coal, oil
and other necessary products. lake
the case Of oil, for example. The
owner OF a productive we'll may have
snent fortune on busters" before he
met with success. These necessary
expenses Of development enter into
the reasonableness Of his profits. In
fixing the prize Of coal, the life Of the
mine, the investment, fixed charges
and probable expenses Tor compensa
ton for accidents must be taken into
account. The most practical plan
would be to take the selling price for
a period Of years and add all probable
increases Of cost Of production. The
government should be fair but it must
not be robbed, either through having
to pay exhorbitant prices or through
concerns evading their taxes by means
OF arbitrary bookkeeping, - Globe Dem

Our Troops in France.

The safe arrival Of the second contiu
gent Of American troops at a French
seaport" lifts weight OF anxiety from
American hearts. While no newspaper
had printed a line about their sailing
everybody knew they had gone. Hun
dreds Of towns knew that trainloads OF
regulars had passed through on their
way 10 seabosrd, weeks ago. The Ger
mans must have known they were on
the Atlantic. 1t is suspected that the
recent abatement Of submarine activity
againsr commerce was due TO the sub
marines lying in wait for the troopships
which would have been legimate OBJ
j.cts Of attack. The character Of the
sategards, is naturally, kept secret.
Curiosity is forgotten in the satisfaction
over the fact that they proved # ctual
and that il the American soldiers have

test in which lheir skill aud daring will

,ion or marvellous luck has kept the
casualties to uoopshpS from submarine
down to a minimum. America has
been Singularly fortunate, since it has
separately sent part Of its navy, Gen.
Pershing aud his staff and large body
Of irregular troops through the submarine
infested seas, without loss. The sale
irausil OF the various war missions to
this country is also a matter for rejoic
ing.
How soon the American soldiers will

Keep the Garden busy.
Joplin Globe

The garden is even more important
now as a means Of decreasing the living
expenses than it was early iu the spring
The garden should be kept busy until
frost this year. AS a rule, after the
vegetables after the first planting have
been harvested the garden is allowed
to grow up in weeds. By careful at
tention the small back yard garden may
be made TO produce a larger quantity
Of Iood than an acre OF corn or wheat
Dr.. J. c. Whitten Of the University
Of Missours College oil Agriculture of
ers few suggestions that will help TO
the garden more profitable.
In the first place he suggests thoro,
deep preparation Of the soil before
planting. It is as important that as
good seeded be prepared for second
paintings a. Tor early in the season. II
possible stable manure should be work
ed into the soil to keed up the fertility
Frequent tillage is necessary not only
to maintain a loose mellow dust mulch
but TO keep Gown the weeds which will
rob the vegetables oil moisture especial
ly during the hot weather.
1t is possible to grow many garden
plants together as companion crops.
Peas and beans may be planted between
the potato rows or hills. Pole beans
will grow with the sweet corn and the
stalks will serve as bean poles. String
beans may be planted with the corn or
tomatoes. Cucumbers, melons, or
squashes may be planted six feet apart
each way in the tomatoes or corn.
Succession crop should be planted
Early spinach, lettuce or radishes may
be succeeded by another planting Of
the same crop or by a later crop Of
s,ring or navy b,a 9. Early potatoes,
may be followed by navy. beans planted

Proclamation.

WHEREAS, WE are nearing the
celebration Of the nations birth,
take occasion 10 suggest TO the people
Of this state that that they make the
coming anniversary Of the Declaration
Of Independence an occasion Of in
dividual and collective re-dedication.
AT nc time since the founders Of the
nation signed the Declaration has
there been more need for the Teasser-
ton that nations derive all theu just
powers from the consent OF the govern
ed. This consecration, should on the
nations birthdIy, III. Fourth OF Jaly,
be given The fullest, treest and most
emphatic expression by the people
gsthered in their churches, their public
buildings and open spaces.
1t is desired that something helpful
and practical shall grow out OF these
meetings, therefore, is suggested that
the period from July one to July seven
both inclusive, be designated as NAVY
WEEK in Missouri. The Navy needs
men and needs them now. 1t is al.
ready in action but the force is made
quate. Many ships are undermined
and those in the course OF construction
must have fighting crews. 1t is the
open door to a career for any young
man, Il gives its members wide and
varied experiences Ct the world and
provides training and education in
ways most useful in after life.
THEREFORE, proclaim the week
beginning July lst as NAVY WEEK
l call upon the people to remember
the Navy in all their public gatherings
during this time and especially urge
upon all those in authority in the di
erent subdivision Of the state and upon
all who may address the people during
the time to urge upon our young men
the duty Of enlisting in the Navy.
Let this years celebration Of the
Fourth Of July be chiefly a concenra'
ton and conveyance oil effort Tor naval
enlistment. This will give additional
sanctity to the day already hallowed BY
the memories, sad and sweet, Of almost
a century and half,
IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, l have
hereunt0 set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal Of the State OF
Missouri.

to secure uniformity and development
from the tourist side. II ID expected
that the grading Of the rim road will

The roads leading to the various
gateways OF the park from Medford.

have not been in good condition dur

would seem that new plan involving
direct appropriations BY the federal
government and BY the state for the
purpose Of rebuilding the approach
roads. not only from Msdford. but
frnm Klamath Falls. In connection
with the intrapark system. should be
devised. Il must b understood that
the counties Of Southern Oregon can.
not possibly build these roads. or even
keep them In repair. They cannot
raise sufhcient funds BY subscription
or taxation. Jackson county. In

construction that this county has al.

meet with the California state high
