washington, Oct. 29-SurtaNeS
adopted by the house on individual
net incomes below 100000 would be
lowered and those on incomes in eX-
cess of that amount increased under
amendments to the war revenue bill
adopted today by the senate finance
committee.
A tax of / per cent would be lowed
on incomes between 5000 and 5000
with IN additional per cent surtaX
for each $1,000 in excess OF that
amount up to 100000 when the rate
would be 50 per cent. A graduated
scale is then fixed under which n err-
tax of 60 per cent wonld be levied on
net incomes exceeding SL000.000.
The senate finance committee to-
day struck out the alternative system
Of taxing war and excess profits and
adopted u compromise plan designed
to raise somewhat less than the 3d.
200 900, 600 estimated from the house
provisions
Under the new provision based on
an arbitrary mathematical formula
the general rate Of 80 per cent on war
profits is retained. but the rates on
excess profits reduced n change which
Secretary McAdoo has constantly
urged.
Same Credits Adopted.
Adopting the same credits in COM
putting taxes as provided i'm the house
bill, the new tax system of the com
mittee provides:
That the tax shall be the sum of
the amounts computed under the fol
lowing brackets:
81, Thirty per cent Of the amount
of the net income in excess of the
excess profits credit ($3. 900 and per
cent of invested capitaD and not in
excess of 20 per cent of the invested
capital.
"2. Sixty per cent of the amount
of the net income in excess of 20
per cent of the invested capital.
80. Eighty per cent of the amount
of the net income (if any in excess
of the sum of (A) the war profits
credit and tB) Il times the tax com
puted under the first and second
brackets.
an any case where the full amount
of the excess profits credit is not al
lowed under the first bracket, the
part not so allowed shall be deducted
from the amount in the second
bracket"
These rates were adopted in lieu of
the house provisions levying so per
cent on all war profits in excess of
$4,000 and 10 per cent of invested
capital and rates varying from 35 to
20 per cent on excess profits.
The committee also adopted a new
plan of installment payment of taxes
under which one-third Of taxes i'm
posed would be payable as at present
upon filing of returns, another third
on the 18th day of the second month
thereafter, and the final third on the
18th day of the fourth month. In
terest at Y of ! per cent would be
imposed on extensions of time and a
limitation period of five years fixed
for refunds

SPANISH INFLUENZA OR GRIP
BY DIR. LEE q. SMITH.
BY DIR. LEE II. SMITH.

An old enemy is with US again, and
whether we fight German or a germ,
we must put up good fight, and not be
afraid. The influenza runs very brief
course when the patient is careful, and
If we keep the system in good condition
and throw off the poisons which tend to
accumulate within onr bodies. we can
escape the disease. Remember these
three C's--a clean mouth, clean skin,
and clean bowels. To carry off poisons
from the system and keep the bowels
loose, daily doses of pleasant laxative
should be taken. Such one is made
OF May-apple, leaves, of aloe, root of
jalap, and called DIR. Pierce's Pleasant
Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely if attacked by cold, and the
patient should be put to bed after hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at the
drug store, and one given every two
lets were first discovered by DR.. Pierce,
and, as they flush the bladder and
cleanse the kidneys, they carry away
much of the poisons and the uric acid.
It is important that broths, milk, but.
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the sys-
tenn and increase the vital resistance.
The fever is diminished by the use of the
Anuric tablets, bat in addition, the FORE
head, arms and hands may be bathed

Speaking The
Public Mind

Editor Times Recorder Being con-
ned to my home by reason of sickness
desire to express to the good people
! Of Webster county, through your pa
per, my unbounded confidence in our
people in raising our quota in this
United War Work campaign, now on
over the United States.
This campaign has been put on UNI
der the direction of our great presi-
dent, who has led us safely through
the geratest conflict Of the world, and
in this plan it is provided that every
man woman and child should take
part. The name, United War Work
Campaign" indicates that. 1t is pro-
vided in this great plan that no man
or set of men shall have all the glory
: in this patriotic work, but all shall
share therein Our noble boys in
Khaki have fought, suffered, and thous-
ands have died for us all. Then why
not all of us contribute to their COM
forts?
They have gone lover the top" for
us. We can, must, and will, go over
the top for them in this call to duty.
This is a duty placed upon US by our
President and Governemnt the pleas
ure to respond this grea and good
cause has been presented to us by
these heroes in f1haki making the
world safe for democracy. It's debt
we owe to these boys for protecting
our property, lives and loved ones,
and should be paid by us as freely as
they gave their all for US.
This is duty that falls upon us all
with equal force. No one has a gerater
responsibility than each and all others.
This is our Country's call
l am sure that every loyal patriotic
American will not only willingly, but
gladly and cheerfully respond to this
cali for the boy in khaki.
Good men have been named on the
county committees, and on each dis
trlct committee, literature and pledge
cards given out to each district com
mite and evey person will write his
own response to this call, and it will
be open for the Government and our
noble boys to see. Let's let our re-
Spouse in this call be as pleasing to
them as their noble deeds have been
to us.
The man who does not appreciate
what our noble boys have done for
him should engage quarters with
Kaiser Bill at once.

CONGRATULA TING MIR. SHEPPARD.

Gorder wishes to extend hearty con-
graduation for the honor that has been

afnae of its complete support, when he

lie jobs" that are a part of our form OF
az government. We are free people.
We govern ourselves by choosing
men from among US to administer
S0Er own laws and conduct our col
sectiye business. We being of many
~~s inds, it is impossible for any man to
please every other man And kicking
is lone of the prerogatives of free
lE5eopae. But, since we insist on gov
.erning ourselves, the actual govern
ing must be delegated to chosen
representatives, and the fact that Mr..
Sheppard has been chosen as the ex-
,ecuffve head of 10000 people is not to
be regarded lightly
Many problems will confront Mr..
Sheppard during his term of Office
problems that will call for the most
careful judgment and skillful handl-
ing. The people of Americas have
said they trust Mr.. Sheppard implic-
lilly, and TIE Times-Recorder feels
that they will not he disappointed. 81
The cleanness of the campaign for
mayor is a matter for sincere COM
mendation. Mr., Ellis, the defeated
candidate, had nothing but the kind
est of words for Mr.. Sheppard at all
times, and MT. Sheppard often voiced
ais high regard for Mr.. Ellis. The
1eople of Americas were called upon
60 choose between two good men. A
choice had to be registered, and to Mr.
Sheppard fell that choice.
