adjutant, the division judge ad-
vocate's office has prepared an
opinion on the law.
In the opinion, Mai. Eugene
West, camp judge advocate, held
that the soldier should not be re-
quired to pay the tax on what the
government gives him.
Solely To Keep Him Fit.
These allowances" says the
opinion, ARE not made to him
(the soldier, nor, at least in time
of war, are they accepted by him,
for his personal gain, profit or
compensation, but they are furn-
ished by the government and are
received and accepted by the SOL
der for the sole purpose of keep
ing the latter ready and fit to
render his country the best service
of which he is capable.
Insult to Loyalty.
go Such being the
case such allowance cannot prop
erly be considered as taxable in
come such as are contemplated un-
der the law. To hold otherwise
would be to place the soldier in
the category of mercenary serv-
ant for hire which would shock
the conscience and cast an insult
upon the loyal men who, in their
country's emergency, have pa
.triotically submitted themselves
for military service"
The opinion also holds that any
attempt to segregate the parts of
the allowances and to make some
taxable and others free from tax
would lead only to fruitless argu-
ment.
So, while this opinion has been
rendered by the camp Judge ad-
vocate, and while from the high
est to the lowest there is the al
most unanimous opinion that the
taxation of the soldiers pay and
allowances is wrong, the tax col
lectors are busy making out the
income statements of Camp Lewis
soldiers.

STRIKE
AT TWO
DOCKS!

Demanding an increase from
10 cents an hour to 81 an hour
for night work on the waterfront,
loo longshoremen employed in
handling cargo at the Oriental
and Northwestern docks called a
strike at 10 o'clock Friday night
The strike was unorganiled
and was not authorized by the
Tacoma union of ongshoremen.
Steyedoring companies reported
Saturday that they were hiring
new workers to replace the strik-
ing crews, and that there would
be very little delay in handling
the cargo.
The striking longshoremen were
mostly all non-uniona men, pro-
vided by the employers associa-
ton labor hall. They sent
committee of workers with the
request for an increase.
When the employers replied
that they could not consider the
request, all men put on their
coats and walked away.
Work had been resumed with
new crews Saturday. altho the
full quota of longshoremen had
not yet been recruited.

Hit By
Handle

Charged with having knocked
down John Dewish, tailor, at
18th and Commerce Saturday
morning by striking him over the
forehead with a broom handle, N.
d. Joseph, a salesman for the Z.
T. Bates Clothing Co., was arrest
ed by the police and taken to jail.
Dewish was knocked unconscious
and the fracas attracted an i'm
mense crowd.
Dewish, who lives at 1920 East
2Sth, was formerly employed in
the Bates store, and while he was
there bitter animosity arose be-
tween he and Joseph, it was re-
ported Saturday.
While the salesman was sweep
ing off a sidewalk in front of the
Bates store Saturday morning,
Dewish walked past.
Without a word, according to
information given the police, JOS
ephi swung on Dewish with the
broom, breaking the wooden han-
die across the tailor's forehead,
and telling him to the sidewalk.
Detectives Peterson and Osborne
were ON the scene a moment later
and Josephi made no resistance
to arrest.
Dewish was given medical at
tention, mad will be little the
worse for the encounter. Joseph
was released on $25 bail and will
be tried in police court Monday.

The assertion that flow of ma
tural gas measuring more than
100000 feet aday has been
struck in the we'll being drilled
by the Walla Walla Gas, Oil Il
Pipe Line Co., in the Rattlesnake
hills of Benton county, was made
today by DR.. George A Libby of
Tacoma, president OF the COM
pany.
The we'll is about 10 miles from
Benton City. -
Libbey declafese the gas flow
from this one well is greater than
all the gas consumed in the state
of Washington and Portland in a
day.
Claims Big Pressure.
The gas strata was first en-.
countered, he said, at depth OF
700 feet while the company was
drilling a 16-inch hole boring for
oil.
At this point the flow was about
100000 feet a day. Drilling 40
feet further, the big gas reservoir
was encountered.
1.-The pressure here was so great
that the gas shot S5 feet above
the derrick and roared like a tor
nado, blowing out tools weighing
1900 pounds" said Libbey. 1--WE
finally succeeded in Gaping the
well late Saturday evening""
Gasoline, Too?
The company has holdings
amounting to 1000 acres in this
part Of Benton county, according
to DR.. Libbey.
A quarter of mile from this
we'll is located the original well
opened six years ago while drill
ing for artesian water, from which,
he says, gas has been flowing at
the rate Of 100000 feet day.
Drilling Is to be continued in
an effort to strike oil. DR.. Lib
hey and Henry d. James, formerly
of Tacoma, who is treasurer and
general manager of the company,
both claim that q mammoth gas
reservoir underlies the district.
An analysis of the gas, says
Libbey, shows that 1t comes from
oil, and the company is drilling
Ito reach this oil strata. He says
tests have shown that there is a
gallon of gasoline to every 1000
cubic feet of gas.
Stock Furry Likely.
What this gas strike means to
eastern Washington can hardly be
realised" says Hbbey. Natural
gas is the cheapest known fuel.

ed available for furnishing power
for pumping water. For domas-,

Gilstrap Proposed 1t.
The idea of the Lincoln statue
for Tacoma originated with w. H.
Gilstrap, former secretary of the
State Historical society. The Lin
coin Statue association was form
ed Feb. 2S, 1914, with Rev. Harry
B. Hendley as chairman, and wit
all patriotic organizations repre-
sented.
This committee entered into q
contract with Sculptor Lewis for
/ bronze statue of Lincoln to
cost from $1,000 to $1,000, and
raised small portion of the total
amount needed.
The Knights of Pythias then
took hold of the project, and on
Feb. 3, 1916, the Tacoma Lincoln
Memorial committee was organ
lied. This committee kept things
going. but was unable to complete
the fund.
Children Complete Fund.
Then in February, 1917, Mar

seventh grade of the Grant
school. with subscription. of 81,
started the fund among Tacoma
school children to complete the
statue. The school campaign was
started on Lincoln's birthday a
year ago. ~
The campaign lasted just one
month and the total amount. re-
quired was largely raised by the
school children, other sums being

LABOR TO ASK
CAR SERVICE

Representatives of organized la
Dor in Tacoma will appear before
the city council next Wednesday
and ask that the T. r. & p. Co.
be forced to give better car serv-
ice or that the city take over its
lines.
1t was announced at the Central
Labor temple Saturday that bust
ness agents of the various Taco
ma unions had already taken up
the resolutions passed by the La
Dor Council last Wednesday night
and were preparing to act.
Organized labor is not dissatis-
fled with the municipal street car
line, because 1t considers that the
city has done everything possible
to rush this line to completion,
but 1t demands better service at
once from the T. r. G. P. Co.

The fact that Ukrainia normally

TuSCania Survivors Announced
Must They Pay
and Fight, Too?

Tax collectors are busy in the ranks of the Ma
tional Army!
They are telling our soldiers:
"Help pay Uncle Sam for supporting you
while you fight his war"
Many and many a man claimed no exemption
from the draft because he thought the little store
or business would support his wife while he was
absent.
Now the government is adding to the income
she receives the amount that it pays him month
and the amount it spends for his food.
come tax which will 90 back to the government
to pay him next mouths pay and allowances
IT'S great system-BUT, the soldiers do not
like it and they feel it an injustice unworthy of
the government they serve. Aren't they right?
The Tacoma times. [volume] (Tacoma, Wash.) 1903-1949, 1918-02-09

The very first general mutter
OF complaint has been heard
among the national army soldiers
at Camp Lewis.
They do not want to pay income
tax on the food and the clothing
and pay that Uncle Sam gives
them.
In the barracks and In the Of
ficers' quarters and within the
shadow of the flag at headquar-
tiers they are protesting that the
government has no right to reduce
their earning capacity by enlist
ment or draft then pay them a
pittance for hazardous work and
then reduce the pittance by taxa
tion.
Middlemen Hit.
The poor men in the army and
the rich men have no complaint.
The cry comes from the vast
majority who are neither rich nor
poor but who have incomes from
outside sources that are just with
ing the $1,000 limit set as the
minimum taxable income for a
single man.
When the income tax law first
was passed it was decreed that all
pay and allowances Of the govern
ment excepting the allowance for
housing should be counted in to
compute the income of the soldier.
Since the minimum untaxed in
come was much higher than 1t is
now only the higher officers were
affected by the law and only In
rare cases were the enlisted men
affected at all.
Now, however, with the 1000
limit for single men and the $2,-
900 limit for married men it is a
safe estimate that more than one
third of the officers and men will
be subject to the tax and that
very fair majority of these
would not be subject to its terms
IL rations were not included as
part of the soldiers income.
Collectors Visit Camp.
Deputy tax collectors from the
internal revenue department Of
fices in Tacoma have held meet
ings at Camp Lewis with the Of
f.cers of each organization assign
ed to assist the officers and men
to make out their tax statements.
They preached the gospel as 1t
was preached in the days of the
old law and quite to the surprise
of everyone it met with decided
opposition in the barracks.
AS one man put It:
81 have little income from my
store. Ii isn't as much as 1t was
when / was there to handle the
business myself but still my wife
can struggle along with it and
keep up the payments on the
house.
Prepares Opinion.
1.-THE government Is giving me
$40 month and my board and
lodging. Now it wants to tax
me on everything my wife has and
everything It gives me. II it left
me alone she wouldn't have to
pay anything.
II didn't claim exemption be-
cause / figured she could get
