SLASH TAX ON SPIRITS
RADICAL CHANGE MADE IN PRO-
VISIONS OF REVENUE BILL.
Military Deficiency Measure, Carrying
$6,345, 1923, 688, Reported
to Senate.

Washington, Oct. 26.-In lieu of the
taxes on estates proposed in the house
war revenue bill, the senate finance
committee in it's revision adopted
plan of taxing inheritances of SlO,OOO
and more, at rates to be fixed later.
The committee also decided to reduce
to 1920 per gallon the tax on distilled
spirits used for industrial, medicinal
and other nonbeverage purposes
The new tax proposes that inheri-
tances received by heirs, instead OF es-
tates left by deceased persons, shall
be the subjects Of federal taxation, af-
ter state Inheritance taxes are I'M
posed.
The revenue of the government prob
ably would be half of the S11O,OO0,-
600 levy on estates proposed in the
house bill. Returns from life insur-
ance policies under $4,000 would not
be taxed under the committees plan.
Reduction of the rate on nonbever-
age distilled spirits and alcohol or
dered by the committee was said to be
in response to interests urging 1t In
order to stimulate production of splr-
its needed for munitions and also to re-
duce the cost of medicines. The
house had fixed the tax at $40 per
gallon. Recently the senate commit
tee reduced that to $500 and today to
$3.50 per gallon, which is the rate I'M
der present law.
House and senate conferees on the
emergency agricultural appropriation
bill with it's amendments for national
wartime prohibition, failed to break
their deadlock in the rent profteering
section and decided to report dis
agreement.
The military deficiency bill, carrying
$6,345, 523, 68S, only a slight decrease
from the original house draft, was re-
ported to the senate today by the APP
preparations committee. Anticipating
speedy passage of the bill by the SEN
ate, the house interrupted it's three
day recess program and adjourned UNI
til tomorrow so that no delay might
result in sending the measure to con-
ference.

WAR SAVINGS CAMPAIGN
Americas High Authority Calls
Upon People 10 Aid

President Woodrow Wilson has
signed and published a proclama-
tion designating Friday, June IS,
as National War Savings Day. His
proclamation is addressed to Ten
nesseans as to 81 Americans. The
commander-in-chief of our armies,
the head of our great war organic
alton, the chief upon whose should
ers rests the responsibility for all
phases Of the war, is calling upon
his people now to observe War
Savings Day as their chief duty.
Gov. l.. G. Rye has also issued
his proclamation, designating and
setting apart as National War Saw
ings Day in Tennessee, Friday,
June %. He calls upon our peo-
pile to devote at least two hours of
that day to the intensive drive to
be made so that every man, wo-
man and child in the state may
have the opportunity to invest
their savings in thrift and war
savings stamps.
Mr.. McAdoo says that To the
end that this intensive campaign
may be most effective, earnestly
bespeak the cooperation of all the
organizations and institutions of
the nation which. through their
Influence and active support, can
further this work. 1t is desirable
that the attention Of the entire
people be conferred on their obi
CATION to pledge the government
this kind of support for the win
lining of the war, and with this OBJ
ject in view, that June %, 1918,
be observed as a National War
Savings Day,
with adequate preparation for
a National War Savings Day on
June %, am sure the American
people will be glad to participate
aud pledge themselves to become
war savers, thereby giving con-
crete evidence Of there devotion to
their country's welfare and of their
Iinfexible purpose to fight until a
triumphant victory for liberty is
secured"

Memorial Day

Mr.. Editor
Today the writer attended and
participated in the memorial SER
vices held at Liberty All by Isaac
R. Hawkins Post, No. IS, Of the
Grand Army of the Republic.
1t was indeed pathetic to see the
old men in blue and the old men
in gray as they totterlngly gath
cred around the graves of their
comrades to beautify them with
natures loveliest flowers and plant
thereon the flag of a reunited
country. The ranks of these old
veterans have grown so thin that
scarcely enough remain now to en-
circle one grave. The hand of
time is resting heavily upon all of
them, the youngest present being
more than three score and ten, and
the oldest more than eighty-six
years old, still they are all young
in spirit and full of patriotic
pep" Any of them would still
be willing to give bis life for the
country, and if permitted to do so,
would take shot at the kaiserl
They still believe in the country
they saved from internal destruc-
ton, and they are standing behind
our boys in France, who have gone
to forever insure our country

against external destruction, and

among them they voluntarily made

can Red Gross to send a service to
our soldiers at the front. which
they aid not receive while serving
the country in arms.
When the roll was called today
only eighteen answered. A few
years ago, when the writer was a
boy, he heard more than 100 an
swer. The ranks are thinning fast
and will continue to get thinner
and thinner with each outgoing
year, because Of increased feeble
ness and decrepitude until the last
OF that once magnificent army shall
have gone hence to answer the
roll calr' on the other side-the
roll call up yonder."
1t is sad to contemplate the time
too near at hand when the heroic
men who added so much to glory
and so much renown to American
history ard American arms shall
have all passed away. But as long
as any people inhabit the earth and
talk and write of the noble deeds
of the past, these old veterans and
their comrades now bivouacked on
yonder shore, will be remembered
as the men whose good fortune it
was to take up the master work of
the master workmen at Bunker
Hill, Cow Pens, Brany Wine and
Yorktown. Their work ended at
Appomattox, and our hoys in
France have now taken up the
work where they left it so ably
and SO nobly advanced and they
have dedicated themselves to the
completion OF this master work
that will bring peace that's decent,
that is just and that will free the
world from autocracy and insure
civilization against ruthless de-
struction for all time to come.
God, hasten the day and spare
these old veterans to witness it.

Jim York, who escaped from
the asylum at Bolivar Tuesday of
last week. was picked up here by
City Marsha Jolly last Monday
and was delivered back to the au-
thorities of the asylum Tuesday.
Sheriff Kirk, Marshal Jolly and
Otha Williams carried him through
the country in an auto. York was
first placed ID the asylum from
this county about fifteen years ago.
About seven years ago he escaped
and went to Texas, but was
brought back. He is regarded by
the authorities at the Bolivar in
stitution as very dangerous man,
and escaped this time, it is said,
after overpowering two or three
guards.
