APPEAL BOARDS IN
MINNESOTA MEET
Decide There Is No Permanent
Industrial or. Agricultural
Exemption.

ST. PAUL, N:nn., Aug. 9.-Repre-
sentatives of the four federal exemp-
ton appeal boards in Minnesota, who
met at. the capitol to effect co-ordina-
ton and uniformity of rulings between
tho different boards decided there is
no such thing as permanent, indus
trial or agricultural exemption from
the draft army, and that in fact, there
is no such thing as a permanent ex-
emption, except for physical disability.
This was the most important deci-
sion reached at the conference. Sew
eral perplexing questions, upon which
no agreement was reached, were sub
mitted to Provost Marshal General
CrOWder by wire.
To assure immediate action on new
points that might confront any Of the
boards, it was decided to make the
office of Governor Burnquist a clear
ing house for questions to be for
warded to Washington. The .'eplies.
when received, will. be wired to the
several boards.
Assurances were received from the
state public safety commission that
the commission would do everything
possible to expedite the draft.

VALIDITY Of DRAFT
LAW TO Be TESTED
U. s. Supreme Court Will Pass
On Constitutionality of Send
ing Soldiers to Europe.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Before
the state militia are sent abroad, the
United States supreme court is to be
asked to pass on the constitutionality
of sending them overseas.
If the court holds such action would
be unconstitutional, the draft army
would be he.G at home and foreign
operations would have to be carried on
by the regulars and by men who vol
unteered for such service.
The constitutional test will be made
by cases to be brought in various fed
cral districts. WFits will be sued out
in the nature of habeas corpus writs
to prevent moving the militia toward
foreign destinations. Appeals from
these cases will be taken by whichever
party loses, and all will be brought to-
gether in a hearing before the United
States supreme court, which will be
expedited in every way possible.
Hannis Taylor has been engaged to
handle the question Of constitution
atty for those who believe the consti-
tuition is in danger of being violated.
The government has set its best law
yers to work to prepare the govern
ment's defense.
Taylor was American ambassador
to Spain under the Cleveland adminis-
tration and is the author of a standard
work on the English constitution. His
practice is entirely before the supreme
court, and he has reputation as an
authority on constitutional law.

NEW REVENUE BILL PUTS BIG
BURDEN ON BACKS Of THE POOR
Majority Leader Ktehin, Assailine Senate Measure, De.
clares Rich Are Favored, While Farmers
Taxes Are Increased

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The ST.
000,000,000 revenue bill agreed on by
the senate finance committee lifts the
big burden of supporting the war from
the rich individuals and places it on
the poor, in the opinion of Majority
Leader Kitchin, chairman, ways and
means committee in the house.
. 1.-THE poor will pay while the rich
escape" he said in assailing the bill.
He declared it will impose ''intol-
cradle inequalities" on those who are
taxed; shat it favors the rich by re-
lieving them of obligations which
we've sought to be imposed by the
house bill, and that the farmers will
have to pay bigger taxes on their
profits than will such competitions as
United States Steel, Dupont Powder
and American Tobacco.
The ways and means committee
has been resentful under the manner
in which the senate committee tore
the bill apart and revamped it after
it had been passed on by the house
committee and approved by the house.
Kitchin and his associates worked
many weeks in the preparation of the
many of the original features restored.
AS specific instances of amounts
which the government would lose in
taxes, Kitchin declared that the in
come tax amendments put into the
bill by the senate committee would
relieve the Steel corporation of the
obligation to pay $10,S00,000 annually
on the basis of last years income
tax; would relieve other incomes of
$66,00O,000 annually, and would ex-
tend large favOrs to railroads and
other concerns at the expense of the
farmers and laboring classes.
Prosperous Are Favored.
In his review of the senate bill,
kitchin devoted a great deal of at
tention to the excess profit tax. He
characterized as unjust and unfair the
method of computing exemptions
adopted by the senate committee on
the basis of pre-war profits. This, he
said, will make undue determinations
in favor of the fortunate persons and
corporations which were highly pros
porous before the war and equally
prosperous now, as against those
which were only fairly prosperous be-
fore the. war, but more prosperous
now.
Under this scheme arrived at by
the senate committee, a corporation
of $40 ,000, 900 capital which made ST.
100000 in the pre-war years need not
pay a penny of excess profits tax,
while corporation with a capital
stock of only $4,000, making $1,000
In the pre-war years, and now making
$4,000, will pay more than $1,000 in
taxes kitchin said.

ing class. Ignorance cannot excuse
him; for if any one lesson stands out
riearcr than another in the labor ex-
perience of the past 20 years, it is thai
about the only effect of dual unionism
is to spread disruption and ruin among
all the workers involved.
Such a thing as a dual organization
succeeding is practically unheard Of
1t makes no difference what purpose
the seceders have in mind or with what
eclat their movements begin, sooner or
later being cut off from the support of
the main branch of labor movements,
they wiiher and die, or, after de-
structive struggle, are absorbed by
their parent organizations.
Dozens Of instances could be cited
to prove this fact. There is hardly all
interna ional union in the country but
what at some time or other has
fought and conquered dual union in
its field action. Some of the worst
dualistic splits in recent years were
among the shoe workers, machinists
and electricians. And in each case, al
though for a time the dualists seemed
to be getting the best of it, the affair
wound up it's disastrous course by the
parent union winning the fight.
No better, illustration. could be
found Of the folly Of dual unionism
than in the railroad industry. For
IS years this industry has been cursed
with dualism. For all these years Sc
ceders, in first one organization and
then another, have fought the railroad
trade unions, and the sum total of
their efforts has been merely to hinder
these organizations and thus play into
the hands of the railroads. They have
been absolutely unable to establish
any secessionists organizations. Some
of the dual unions that have gone
down to defeat in the railroad industry
are the American Railway Union, So
cialist Trades and Labor Alliance,
United Brotherhood of Railway En-
ployes, industrial Workers of the
World. Industrial Railway Union,
Railway Workers Industrial Union,
and American Federation of Railroad
Workers. The amount Of damag
done by these dual organizations can
never be told.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Although
residents of Alaska appre ciate the
benefit conferred on them by congress
in authorizing construction of a gov
eminent railroad in the territory, yet
they are now beginning to realize that
there is room for improvement in the
way that project was financed. Con-
gress authorized a bond issue to pay
for the road. While the bill was
pending, Congressman Warren Worth
Baily of Pennsylvania offered an
amendment providing that the bonds
be paid for by taxation of the land
values which the road would create.
Some o'e was going to get these VAL
ues, Bailey argued. If the govern
ment did not take them to pay for the
road, private land spectators would.
Then the settlers who would go to
Alaska to develop it's resources would
he held up by the land monopolists.
Congress Indifferent.
However congress was in no mood
to listen. Baileys amendment re-
ceived but q votes. Perhaps the
feeling of the members was voiced by
Senator John Sharp Williams of Mis-
sissippi, who with other members of
both houses, was asked by The Pub
lie what he thought of paying for the
,, road by taking the land values created
by it. Senator Williams replied:
"As the little boy said about the
apple core, There won't be any,"
The senator should have studied
political economy before he tried to
pose as prophet. He would have
known then that an improvement in
sufficient demand to be worth con-
structing, is sure to create enough
land value to pay, for itself. Now
the road is being built and is in par
tial operation. The results do not
vindicate Senator Williams. A COR
respondent in Alas a describes condi-
tions as follows:>
Spectators Busy.
"Anchorage, which will probably be
the terminus of the railroad in the
sense that it will be the point of
greatest activity, was an uninha bited
piece of wood land in 1914. In 1915

lot was not in excess of $4,000. Toda>
there are about 5000 people in An
chorage, and the lots, business lots,

When in less than two years lots
that sold for $4,000, rent for $500
year, there seems to be considerable
of "cUre'' left to the Alaskan apple,
Senator Williams prophecy to the
contrary Notwithstanding. The same
correspondent Save further:
''MataHnska\ Junction is a town To-
Gated at the Junction of the main line
and spur line going to the. coal
lands on the Matanuska and Chicka-
loon. Lots were disposed of in the
same manner as the lots of Anchor
age. The speculative value depend
ing on the development of the coal
lands is lated so high that settlers
are refusing to pay the prices de-
randed by present owners and are,
so I am informed, going out of the
town limits and building in the
woods"
So it is clear that because congress
has allowed private parties to get
the benefit of increased values Gre
ated by public enterprise. settlers at
Ma.anuska Junction are being forced
to go outside of the town limits. In
less congress gets busy and applies to
the territory a measure like Bailey's
ill-fated proposal there will be trou-
ole in Alaska. The railroad was not
built to help land spectators, but
that seems to be what it is doing, and
it is helping tnem at the expense of
settlers who want to do something
useful.

HIGH L|V|NC:COST
SWAMPS FAMILIES
So Reports Dallas Wage Commits.
sion Investigating Living
Expenses.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The fed
eral bureau Of labor statistics publish
es a summary of the findings Of the
recent Dallas wage commission ap-
pointed by the mayor to obtain data
on the cost Of living to be used by
city officials as a guide for wage ad-
vances to city employees.
Fifty families were investigated and
1t was found that SO families showed
a deficit averaging $c0.25 a month and
10 families showed a surplus avcrag-
ing $S.S6 month. The average an
nual deficit reported by the so fam
lilies was $171.72. These facts prom t-
ed the commission to conclude:
THAT with rapidly increasing food
and clothing costs, the families are
accommodating debts.
THAT wage and chattel loans are
made and concealed.
THAT relatives are giving aid in
money and supplies which is not di-
vulged."
The heads of these families were
employed as follows: Twenty-nine
were city employees and 81 were fac
tory employees. Wages were as fol-
lows: Seventeen received less than
$50 month; II, $50 to SO; four $40
10 so; IS, $50 to 500, and three, $50 to
800.
The commission reported that TAT a
year is necessary for the bare ex-
istence" for a family of five. The
amount necessary for a "safe normal
living" is placed at $1,0S1.72. The
closeness with which the latter figure
is estimated is shown under the head
ing insurance, recreation" etc., which
places $57.46. or a little more than 81
a week, as sufficient for a "normar'
family for insurance, recreation,
church, fraternal and other organiza-
tons.

The most serious strikes are at the

RECEIPTS FROM U. S.
FORESTS AMOUNT TO
$3.50, oG0 FOR 1917

WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-Receipts
from the national forests in the fiscal
year just closed exceeded those for
1915, the banner previous year, by
more than 100000 and totaled over
S3.45O,O00.
The cost Of operating the forests,
about $4,000.000, was virtually the
same as in 1916.
The increase according to the for
es;ry officials, came chiefly from a
more active timber business and from
the higher fees charged for: grazing.
although practically every form of use
Of the forests was greater than ever
before, and nearly every revenue-pro-
ducing activity contributed to the
gain.

Kitchin said the bill as agreed on
by the senate committee includes for
purposes of taxation the farmers, mer-
chants, butchers: blacksmiths and
others in such occupations, but ex-
empts all the lawyers, doctors, gov
ernment officers, employees and agents
who received fixed amounts for their
services, the employees, officers and
agents of corporations like Judge

Shows More Losses.
The elimination of the retroac tive
clause in the house bill will cause a
further loss of s10S,000,00o, Kitchin
says. TIL cutting out of the NUM-
tons manufacturers tax will relieve
the munition makers from paying
more than $25.t 100000 a year.
The senate provision to exempt cor
porations from paying taxes on divi-
dends received from other corpora
tons, he said, would relieve the big
corporations like United States Steel
Bethlehem Steel. United igar Stores.
American Tobacco and Du Pont Pow
der from paying $50,000,000 year.
The bill was increased about s327,-
100000 during the last week because
of the latest war estimates.
The new increase over the commit
tees original draft is distributed ap-
proximately among the following ad-
ditional levies:
On corporate incomes. $1G2 000. 900
Additional surfaces on Individual
income Of $4,000 and over. 1880, 900

The additional levy on incomes of
corporations applies also to partner
ships, joint stock companies and as
