Airshins do Great Work

London, Sept. 3.-Low flying British
airplanes are shattering retreating en-
envy troops, bombing German trans.
ports, bridges and railway connections
and generally assisting Field Marshal
Haig's infantry columns in their ad-
vance in Franco,
This is shown by the latest aviation
communique issued by Haig.
"Despitc the opposition of enemy
machines - says the statement, "more
than 1000 photographs were taken by
our airmen Sunday and many reconnais
sanceS were affected. Contact with our
advancing troops was closely maintain
ed. Our observation balloons were con
stantly pushed forward and these, with
our artillery patrols, kept our batteries
informed Of numerous targets which
were successfully engaged. Throughout
the day the area into which the Ger
mans were entering was searched by
our low flying airmen, who everywhere
attacked enemy troops and transports
with bombs and machine guns, their
fire causing heavy casualties and much

nections were heavily bombed in the
enemy back areas.
"In the air fighting, eight enemy
machines were destroyed and four
were driven down out of control. Six
hostile balloons were brought down in
flames by our planes. Eight Of our
machines are missing"
On the following night bombing was
continued in the zone Immediately be-
hind the battle line and further east. A
German airdrome beyond st. Quentin
was heavily attacked and direct hits
were observed. We lost one night bomb

During the "a hours 81 tons of
bombs were launched on different tar

ual ease. After the wal profits or ca
cess profits tax the corporation must
pay an Is per cent tax on its net in
comes which remains undistributed and
IL per cent ON the income distributed
in dividends. Interest on government,
state and municipal bonds as well as
dividends from other corporations are
exempt from this tax.
The war profits tax is based on the
difference between what q corporation
made this year and what it made in
1911, 1912 and 1913. Exclusive of a flat
exemption of three thousand dollars, the
: corporation must pay SO per cent to the
government.
If the corporation S profits were less
than 10 per cent during the pre-war
years, they are allowed an additional
exemption of 10 per cent before the
war profits tax becomes operative. The
excess profits tax allows n flat cxcmp-
ton Of $4,000, plus an exemption of s
per cent. Profits between eight and 10
per cent pay a S5 per cent tax; be
tween Is ond 20 per cent a fifty per
cent tax and above 20 per cent u 70
per cent tax.
Experts estimate that 90 per cent Of
the corporations of the country will pay
under the war profits tax and 10 per
cent under excess profits tax,
Income and profit taxes are payable
in three installments: March ID, r,ay
10 and July Is. Liquor taxes are praetic-
ally double the present rate.
Two minor taxes added late in the SEES
sions Of tho ways and means committee
are rates of 10 per cent of the gross re.
ceipts Of sightseeing ears; five per
cent on receipts Of taxicabs and heavy
rates on narcotics.
This latter tax is designed not only
to raise revenue but to replace provis.
ions of the Harrison drug act knocked
out bv the supreme court, The court
has ruled that these provisions will be
LEGAL and part Of a revenue bill.
The taxes are $2i a year on drug i'm.
